I feel sorry for the world

After reading the news especially about the American, the decadence of morality, the distortion of principles and the corruption of people's mind. I see the flood of darkness slipping away from the cage entering the world through intelligent people's readiness of a generous acceptance of multiculturalism. Why the principle that people uphold in the past has become worthless antique covering with dust? My heart sinks. I feel so sorry for the world. It urgently needs a wake-up call. So sad.

《天堂如此真實》- 讀後感

《天堂如此真實》是講述一位韓國的姊妹與神在不同的時候相遇，基督17次帶她的靈體到天堂及地獄，又向她顯現主己為屬主的人預備好地方及大災難的情境。天堂的真、美、善的地上無任何東西可比美的; 地獄的苦、痛、悲，亦是同樣地令人難以想像。書中不斷重覆的訊息是「主為祂子民已預備好了地方，很快會接已預備好自己的人，比他們所想的還要快。」

讀畢《天堂如此真實》我對這位姊妹的經歷亦有懷疑。姑勿論她的經歷是否屬實，這位姊妹的經歷的而且確給予我很大的提醒。書中對天堂，天使的描述不盡是與聖經所描述的一樣，作者說到天使是有男女之分，但聖經告訴我們天使是沒有性別的。而且作者推崇說方言，以方言去禱告，跳靈舞的恩賜亦與聖經的描述不大配合。聖經教導我們「那說方言的就當求著能翻出來。我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告，但我的悟性沒有果效。這卻怎麼樣呢，我要用靈禱告，也要用悟性禱告。」(林前十四:13-15)以一個清晰的信仰立場加上基本對聖經的了解，時時以聖經的真理為依歸，這樣去看此書會有所得著，有所提醒。

它對我最大的提醒是不要做一個掛名的基督徒，「信心沒有行為是死的。」(雅二:17) 有了信心亦要表現出與信心相稱的行為，才是真的順服。秋楠在書中將基督徒分為幾類，一種是真正全心順服，過著信心生活的基督徒，另一類是不順服的基督徒，第三類為犯罪的基督徒。以她所見只有第一類的真基督徒才能有機會進天國，其餘的兩類人亦只能在天國外徘徊，然後前往地獄的谷中。聖經告訴我們神對我們只要求了一件事，就是要「盡心、盡性、盡意、盡力的去愛神，其次就是說要愛人如己，沒有比這兩條誡命更大的了。」(可十二:30) 沒有世上的任何事比讓主居首位更重要。馬利亞為上主所喜悅因為她那樂意停下來到主前聽道，親近主。人在世的生活就是會勞碌，但要從主裏得力，唯一的途徑是每天的親近神。另外作者亦提到憂慮亦是不順服的表現，因為為自己的身體，為物質需而憂慮即是不相信神就是那位供應者，對神缺乏信心。

我體會禱告是非常重要的，神是會將不同的託付交予人，使我們成為別人的代禱者。自作者與主相遇後，她深深的感受到一股為人代禱的強烈渴望。同樣地神會給予我們不同的經歷去交托我們為身邊不同群體禱告的負擔。因為神很想我們透過與祂同工去經歷祂，去倚靠祂。不是每位基督徒也應有救人、愛人靈魂的熱心嗎?

神是一位聽禱告的神。

若看畢此書之後，令人只想向人推崇此書而不是推崇聖經，刻意追求個人屬靈經歷，想去看見耶穌，觸摸耶穌，說方言，跳靈舞等，而不是去讀聖經，念神學，上主日學，多祈禱的話，這種信仰的表達是危險的。但若你的著眼點是天堂是真實的，地獄是存在的，神是時時在工作，神是聽禱告，天父很快再來，基督徒需要把握地上的機會多認識神，多了解聖經，多向人傳福音，多為主作工的話，那麼這書有它正面的影響。其實這些教導早已在每次崇拜，神藉著祂的僕人在不同的教會中說出，亦在聖經寫明，只是人比較喜歡有震撼性，有爆炸性，令人意想不到的經歷和見證。

信仰其實很簡單，要學習經歷神更多, 便要由心出發。

Pendulum

Life sometimes can be easy that it's intimidating. Simply like a perpetual repetitive recurrence. Therefore, people tries to swing to the other side for some CHANGES. It might turn out to be an exposure of a demonic alter ego and a devastating destruction of the tranquillity. Soon after the explosion, everything swings back to the equilibrium, but not long after, the reverse side effects just occur, making you behave in the extreme opposite way which you cannot rationalize it yourself.

People said when part of your life rises so high that the other parts doom to fall, Or is it just the double life or double standard that we are having in which one part of it developes so steadily that your inner self feels guilty to be in such happiness? But who could tell us whether we have reached the highest point?

The greater the expectation, the bigger the disappointment.

Alethiometer - A Review on the Golden Compass

The Golden Compass - people said that it's dark and it is dark. I thought quite seriously before i went to the theatre , though i have prepared to sit through a sequel to find out the "DUST".

Personally, i don't enjoy watching an unscrupulous girl, a liar with a mouth full of curses, trying to ridicule all the so-called "norms" could be a heroine in some kind, saving the world from being manipulated by the High Authority - Magisterium. Why is "being a lady" so disgusting that Lyra cannot even bear to hear her friend from mentioning it? If that's what we call challenging the mainstream, i would say rejection is exactly what the mainstream is trying to do to the minorities.

I did have a hard feeling in some moments. When seeing all the usually wicked, mysterious and deceitful tribes participating in the "saving the innocent children" project, i felt sorry. It's atypical. When i saw the armoured polar bear fought against his enemy, demonstrating the deus ex machina with his fatal strike and he tore away his jaw, i felt awful. It's creepy!!! When the demons (as if the spirit of mankind) tortured each other, i felt terrible. It's abusive. My friend sitting next to me got her face distorted when seeing all these... sorry for her. Another friend of mine complaining that the characters explained arcane concepts way too constantly and the episode covered way too much ground in too little time leaving the film feeling shallow and inchoate.

Maybe the best part of the film is the selection of the character in which the villains worth remembering than the good characters. Nichole Kidman is elegant.

I love this review. lol
