4我立大地根基的时候，你在哪里呢？你若有聪明，只管说吧。
5你若晓得就说，是谁定地的尺度？是谁把准绳拉在其上？
6地的根基安置在何处？地的角石是谁安放的？
7那时晨星一同歌唱，神的众子也都欢呼。
耶利米书1：5
我未将你造在腹中，我已晓得你。你未出母胎，我已分别你为圣。

就如神从创立世界以前，在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在他面前成为圣洁，无有瑕疵。

One bright dusk, four, five, no, my God, six summers ago, I strolled along a
Greenwich
avenue of mature chestnuts and mock oranges in a state of grace. Those
Regency residences
number among London’s costliest properties, but should you ever inherit one

it, don’t live in it. Houses like these secrete some dark sorcery that

IN GOD'S WAY
SCHOOL-DAYS
I.
In the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the
evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west,
out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the
broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear
sky.
The storm had lasted a long time; it had been more terrible, too, than any
the old people could remember. In ... 阅读全帖 |

The Quran, Allah and Plurality Issues (Sam Shamoun)
The Quran, much like the Holy Bible, uses plural pronouns for God even more
so than what we find in God’s true Word. Here are several examples:
This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee
(O Apostle!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots
with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary:

上回aiyayayaya推荐光头大哥Shel Silverstein的儿童书，我看了几本，深感他的《
The Giving Tree》应该像安徒生的《海的女儿》一样作为小孩的必读书——事实也的
确如此，我家两个孩子都在幼儿园里读过并喜爱这本书，就是没给我科普一下。这棵给
从小长大的男孩不断奉献出苹果、树枝、树干直至生命最后的树桩的giving tree，在
我看来就像父母之爱。当用苹果卖钱发财失败、用树枝造房娶妻失败、用树干造船远行

不断奉献未必就是不幸。皱纹深深的孩子坐在带有他... 阅读全帖 |
