Interests:"God had an only Son and He was a Missionary. I am a poor imitation, but in this service I hope to live and in it I wish to die." - David Livingstone Expertise:Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee.
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shall be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I’ve sought or hoped or known.
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heaven are still my own. Occupation:Military Industry:Government
This will be my last Xanga post for a month cuz China blocks Xanga but I did wanna let everyone see what's going on. The Gospel is so crucial to China right now cuz there is so much tension worldwide from dictators, economic hardship and human rights violations. Plz pray for the safety of our team and for us to ready to serve Jesus in any capacity while we're in Shanghai.
"On Sunday, July 5th in Urumqi, the capital of China's western Xinjiang region, thousands of minority ethnic Uighur residents marched, demanding a government investigation into an earlier incident - a brawl between Han Chinese and Uighurs in a toy factory in Shaoguan that ended with at least two Uighur deaths. Sometime during the July 5th protest the situation became very violent, Uighurs clashing with police and attacking local Han Chinese. Urumqi citizens woke the next morning to learn that over 1,000 people had been injured and 156 killed in their city. Government forces worked to quell the violence and to separate the newly-formed Han vigilante groups and the Uighurs still in the streets. Communications were shut off, streets closed, curfews imposed, hundreds arrested, and thousands of troops poured into Urumqi, which remains tense - several clashes reported even today."
MJ was a great performer, singer and writer. He was a terrible theologian. Christians seek to make peace with all people and all religions but Jesus did not compromise on truth. I watched his MJ's memorial video and though his songs are good, he couldn't understand the most important truth in the universe...
Acts 4:12 (New International Version)
12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
One of the most important functions of the missionary movement is to continually rescue the faith itself from becoming lost through institutional and cultural evolution and absorption.... That process of trying to make our faith understandable cross-culturally has in many different but vital ways pumped back into the home church a constantly renewed sense of what is, and what is not the [gospel]...
Unless we become as serious about rediscovering the true faith in contrast to the assumptions of our own culture, we will trumpet an uncertain sound wherever else we go. (Vol. 19., No. 2, April, 1995, p. 60)
I argue that the ideal male body should be at a BMI of around 30. I think the media likes to portray cut and smaller guys as more attractive but I think bigger really is better. There should be a stronger contrast between a fit male's weight and a fit female's weight. Fit males tend to range in 150-170lbs and females tend to range between 120-140. I think that males should actually have their weights be up in the 190s-200s. Just look at the difference.
