Creation

The Bible has only one purpose, and one alone. It reveals God’s love for man. In a word, it tells us about salvation. Every single word of the account is true. It is true because it tells us the truth about salvation. But it tells the truth in a way that belongs to an age and culture totally different to our own.
God fashioned man of dust from the soil. Then he breathed into his nostrils a breath of life, and thus man became a living being. ~ Genesis 2:7
God’s work of creation is described in the first two chapters of Genesis. Genesis tells us that God created the world by the power of his word. The universe was created within the week. Man was the summit of his creation: God created man in the image of himself. ~ Genesis 1:27
His intention was to state that man received his life from God: indeed, shared his life with God — Jesus appeared to the apostles after his resurrection and ‘breathed on them saying: Receive the Holy Spirit.
Genesis emphasises certain truths. Inspired by God, the sacred writer teaches that all God’s creation is good; that man was created in full friendship of God; and ‘was appointed by him as master of all earthly cretaures that he might use them to God’s glory.
Curiosity Kills The Cat
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed… this is what I learned in Secondary Physics. This morning, I was awoken with a terrible dream of ‘terrorism’. John, my cousin, asked me to sign my name on his two pieces of photographs — one ‘courtship’ photograph with his girlfriend (wife) and one on their marriage photo.
… all that is seen and unseen…
The most scary part is my friend, a male guy, who was talking to me at the base of the elevator, suddenly ‘vanished’, become invisible… I wondered where he had gone, worried and searched for him…
The Narrow Gate
Over at the other side, just underneath the escalator, a ’security guard’ was in a room. A teacher was ‘negotiating’ with him….and it was all about filling in of names…

Mystery of Faith
The sky, also called 天 (tian) or 天空 (tian kong). Always heard my mother said, “天没眼” (the sky got no eyes) — meaning, there is no justice in this world, this world is unfair…
I questioned the meaning of life. I had seen people around me. I encountered the same kind of pain as my mother, though it is never the same.
Searching and searching, I never know that miracle does exist. I had the answers to life, and the most miraculous thing is God appearing to me at night, at the end of my bed. It was fear and many sound I heard….. the sound of chains, doors, chains, etc.
