By Dietrich Bonhoeffer Who am I? They often tell me I stepped from my cell’s confinement Calmly, cheerfully, firmly, Like a squire from his country-house. Who am I? They often tell me I used to speak to my warders Freely and friendly and clearly, As though it were mine to command. Who am I? They…

original post – http://www.ligonier.org/blog/what-does-coram-deo-mean/ I remember Mama standing in front of me, her hands poised on her hips, her eyes glaring with hot coals of fire and saying in stentorian tones, “Just what is the big idea, young man?” Instinctively I knew my mother was not asking me an abstract question about theory. Her question was not…

Last night was the our last community group meeting. Community group is kinda what we call our small groups but it’s so much more than that, it’s our community. We not only study the Bible together but we talk about our lives, pray for one another, and eat together. I think eating together, even though…

[Took this from the Desiring God Blog] In Luke 19, Zacchaeus the tax collector was converted. He vowed to give back fourfold to anyone he had defrauded. Imagine a conversation he might have had when returning the money. *          *          * “Dad, there’s a man at the door. He said his name is Zacchaeus.” “Zacchaeus!” Judah’s face…

This is that Chinese essay I was raving about awhile back. We just submitted the final last week and I thought that now I can show it to you guys. Have fun reading it. I love comments on my blog, so feel free to chat it up. 最爱我的人是谁？我想来想去还没想出来。不是没想到，是没想完。最爱我的人是一个人也是好几个人也不是人。最爱我的人是爱。爱最爱我。 人想到爱的时候，就想他们的男朋友女朋友父母兄弟姐妹 朋友等等。从小到大我们的世界上的电视，书，音乐等等天天都会告诉我们他们觉得爱是什么。但是他们说的爱是不彻底的。你有没有想过如果世界没有告诉过我们爱是什么，我们会不会知道它是什么呢？ 最爱我的人给我仿佛爱人抓住你不放开的感觉似的。我小时候有父母，但我三岁时他们离婚了。他们非常爱我，我也非常爱他们。但是最爱我的人的爱永远多于我父母的爱。我感觉孤寂的时候他会告诉我他爱我，不会离开我。我去哪里他都会照顾我。他不会对我说谎。我天天都会犯错但是他天天每次都会原谅我。告诉我我无论做什么都不会影响到他给我的爱。他仿佛代罪羔羊似的。为了我的罪我的错死，给了我一个新的生命。他仿佛生命似的。 最爱我的人是和平。 我经常都会觉得有什么不妥。有时候别人会冤枉我，我要报复但是最爱我的人是我的正义感。我不用报复因为我知道他不仅是我的正义而且他也是我生命的和平。它不仅来到我的生命修复平安，他也来到世人的生命修复平安。他是我和世界的救世主。他在我身边我就不用担心，所有事都在他的手里。 最爱我的人仿佛是我生命的光似的，仿佛是牧羊者似的。在高中时候我感觉非常慌乱，不知道要做什么，不知道要去什么大学，不知道怎么样对别人。 但是他会照亮我的路让我知道做什么是对我的生命最好的。我有什么问题都能问他。我经常会找他因为他说什么都是为我好。 最爱我的人是真理。有时候我的朋友都会对我说谎。但是他是真理，他能说别人不能也不会说的东西。每个人都要找他但是也怕也会找到自己的缺点。我找到他现在就知道自己有很多罪。我知道我犯罪以后才能知道怎么停止犯罪。我以前经常跟我父母或别人还嘴但是现在真理让我知道我的错。现在我就对我的父母和别人好多了。他告诉我最好先听别人说完，然后再说。…
