Life can be seen from an optimistic or pessimistic point of view. I recall a story of twin boys who were given their birthday gifts, and both were given the same thing: a huge pile of dung. One boy sobbed bitterly saying, “Oh what a mess. What a useless pile of dung. What can I
It is good to have zeal and make effort to preach the Good News. After all, we Christians are commissioned and sent forth to do so by our Lord Jesus. However, as with many things in life, there needs to be a time and place for everything. If we spend too much time in one
How much faith do we have in God? Do we have faith that God will guide and help us according to his ways and terms, or are we expecting faith to be according to our own terms? We sometimes say we have faith, but we want faith to be according to our expectations and convenience.
I believe many of us would want to keep clean and maintain good hygiene. After all, who among us would want to emit an odour or stench? We make so much effort to clean ourselves by bathing regularly, and even spend time grooming ourselves and putting on all sorts of sweet smelling perfume, so that
We sometimes come across persons who seem to be quite adept in putting on an appearance, so that others may think that such persons are a certain way, but the reality is that their true self could be quite different from what is perceived. For example, we see some persons behaving one way when it
今天在我們之中有很多人能夠從網絡中學習到一些知識，因為互聯網刊載的知識或資源非常廣闊而且很容易找到。但是你們是否知道網絡中的資料不可盡信，有些是不可靠而且不正確的?因此我們要很細心思考與斟酌來閱讀有 關的資料或資訊。 你們是否有參考過網上所刊登有關信仰課題？我們是否可以相信那些資料？從某種程度上來說，的確我們可以學到一些皮毛。然而，我們不可以掉以輕心，最好是查証資料的來源，仔細考慮資料的可靠度或是有爭議性的？所以我建議最好是向受過培訓的傳道員或合格老師學習。聖保祿宗徒在今天的讀經裡提到：“信德始於別人的講道，而道是始於耶穌訓話。”希望每位教友們小心翼翼地分辨資訊的可靠性﹔如有需要盡量尋求合格人選來輔助，因為他們所傳的道理是教會所教導的。
放去我們的過去或是以往的處事方法是不簡單的也不容易。畢竟有些事情在一些人來說是那麼投入或是駕輕就熟而突然間要他們更改方法或是開始嶄新的發展，當然是不容易而且困難重重。但是在現實中，確實有很多事情在改變。在過去的時光裡該項方法非常管用且有效，可是到了今時今日它已成了廢物。因此為了不失去良機或挫敗，我們一定要與時並進，勇於改變和創新。 在今天的福音中，耶穌見到兩位漁夫的兄弟，一個是西滿，也稱為伯多祿和他的弟弟安德肋正在湖中撒網捕魚。耶穌對他們說，“跟隨我吧，我要使你們成為漁人的漁夫。他們立刻舍下漁網跟隨了祂。”今天耶穌也很可能在召喚你，放下你的漁網，改變一下生活方式，再往前走，跟隨祂。那麼你是否願意接受該邀請，從此讓耶穌輔助及做你生命的向導？
Is it okay to cure on a Sabbath day? The Sabbath day is supposed to be a day of rest and worship. But in the Gospel, Jesus seems to be not following the rules of the Sabbath day. Throughout Jesus’ ministry, we see that Jesus does not choose a special place, occasion or time to
I believe most of us would want to keep healthy, especially as we age. We spend a lot of time and effort to ensure that we eat healthily, we go for regular check-ups to detect diseases early so that such diseases could be treated early to have a better chance at survival, and we do
We sometimes here people saying words like: “you can’t put a good person down” or “justice will prevail.” Such sayings give us hope and encouragement that, no matter what, a wrong will eventually be made right, though not necessarily the way we expect, but it would be made right by God in His time and
