A Touching Story: Dad and Son Walked Together

 Dad and son team working and walking together in a marching band.  

 

This picture touches my heart: this dad works night shift with UPS from Monday to Thursday in order to be able to "walk" with his son in the marching band who was born blind,  It makes me thinking that our heavenly father is more than willing to walk with us in every day life no matter how touch it may seem to us (read more on this blog)

Follow-up on Block Hard for Tebow

I received a recent update on this call to action on "Block hard for Tebow". I thought it would bring you some encouragement.

An video was broadcast on CBN in defending Tebow and his family.  

Dear Kung-Li,

Over the last three days, media has been coming to us as a counter to the supposed "woman perspective" that the National Organization for Women (NOW) uses to criticize the Tim Tebow advertisement being run by Focus on the Family. Marjorie’s op-ed on this topic was posted on FOX News. This comes after an outpouring from pro-lifers across the country who are incredibly grateful to Tebow and Focus for putting together this ad. Our site, www.blockhardfortebow.com, has received over 50,000 messages of support for Tebow and his family in the last four days. Our message is simple… When someone this prominent is willing to put himself out there with a positive message about Life, we need to defend him.

Why Is NOW So Afraid of a Pro-Life, Pro-Family Ad?

By Marjorie Dannenfelser
 - FOXNews.com
What is the National Organization for Women afraid of? Apparently a touching story about a courageous woman who chooses life in the face of adversity is just too much to take. And when her football star son decides to share that story on Super Bowl Sunday, well, that goes too far. It’s “divisive.”
NOW and its affiliate organizations the Feminist Majority and Women’s Media Center are condemning the Super Bowl advertisement featuring Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, calling it an offensive “anti-choice” ad.
Could you imagine anything more ironic? The organization that purports to embrace women and “choice” is desperately clamoring to shut down the most loving choice of all: the choice for life. Yet the women of NOW can’t abide 30 seconds of a heart-warming story. What would producers at Lifetime Television say?
Let’s be real. What’s the worst case scenario here? That if Americans hear this message they will choose to make sacrifices in order to have a child and bring a wonderful life in to the world? That’s hardly an abhorrent message.
These groups are not “for” women and they don’t want them to have a “choice.” They only want women to “choose” the path of abortion. Never mind that abortion has been shown over and over to be destructive in numerous ways, both physically and psychologically. But, *please* don’t tell people that there are alternatives.
In their efforts to cling to the old feminist mantra that we somehow “need” abortion, NOW sells American women short. They assume that women are so weak-brained and easily manipulated that they must be protected from a life-affirming message.
This fracas over the Super Bowl illustrates perfectly how NOW & Co. are losing their grip as their pro-abortion position sinks in public opinion. For the first time in decades, Gallup recently reported that a majority of Americans now consider themselves pro-life. The demand by pro-life Americans, and the members of Congress who represent them, insisting that the health care reform package must not include federal funding of abortions has damaged the prospects of getting the health care reform plan through Congress. The March for Life in Washington last Friday was one of the biggest ever attended with tens of thousands of seniors, young people and Americans of every race and creed taking a stand in defense of life.
It is this growing American pro-life majority that has driven NOW to desperation. In an effort to remain relevant, they apparently have become experts at sports. In their words, the purpose of the Super Bowl is to “bring people together.” I’m not sure if you asked Sedrick Ellis of the Saints or Gary Brackett of the Colts if that was their mission that they’d agree. Two teams fighting to the last second to be named Super Bowl champion is a divisive event within itself. If you have any doubts, just ask the fans.
What is divisive are NOW’s attempts to demonize the Tebow family, CBS, and ad sponsor Focus on the Family. In a desperate attempt to keep full information from women, they are attacking the family of an American sports hero with the courage to live out his convictions.
As a mother of five, I can only say I’d much rather have my children watch the Tebow story than the hundreds of other things they might see during the Super Bowl. Somehow I think the majority of American sports fans, women and men alike, will be able to appreciate the blessings of life expressed by the Tebow family. If this beautiful story of family unity, sacrifice and triumph is too harsh on the eyes and ears for so-called women’s groups, I have two words of advice: mute button.
Marjorie Dannenfelser is President of the Susan B. Anthony List, a nationwide network of over pro-life Americans dedicated to advancing, mobilizing and representing pro-life women in the political process.

為海地禱告（一）大衛會幕禱告中心

為海地禱告（一）

2010/1/19

1月12日下午4時56分，海地首都太子港西南方約15公里外，發生芮氏規模7.0強震，威力波及多明尼加等加勒比海島國，之後還接連出現芮氏規模超過4的13次餘震，包括海地總統府在內等大樓，都因為地震而有部分倒塌，目前估計死亡人數將突破20萬人。這也是海地二百年來，發生最強烈的一次地震。

海地是西半球最貧窮的國家之一，長年飽受政治不安及颶風成災的威脅，全國80%的人民生活在貧窮線（聯合國定義：每天收入1.25美元）以下，超過三分之二的勞工沒有正式工作，將近七成的人口倚靠農業維生，在狹小的農地上耕作。此次強烈地震重創海地，讓貧困的海地人民，生活更加困苦。

禱告重點一

1.      為海地總統蒲雷華（René  Preval）及海地政府禱告。求主賜下剛強壯膽、智慧、勇氣，同心起來面對國家目前面臨的災難，並且與聯合國及各國攜手合作，不容惡者有機可趁。

2.      求主制止任何趁亂打劫的事件及暴力發生，遏止一切的混亂，公平公義掌權在其中。

3.      為海地首都太子港當地政府機構的救災、聯合國、紅十字會、各救助團隊、教會(機構/宣教團體)、各民間機構(NGO)……的救災工作能更有效率與智慧，將救援物資送到需要者手上迫切代禱。求主差派天使天軍護衛各救助團體和人員的安全。

4.      為太子港各樣電力、水力……設施設備、民生用品等恢復正常運作禱告。目前當地水、醫療藥品、緊急安置所需的物資嚴重缺乏。

5.      為地震救災各式人力和物資資源能及時用上，並有合適的統籌運用禱告，求主全然掌權。

6.      為所有在第一線救助的人員守望，求主加添救助人員人力、智慧、心力、體力、靈力。

7.      求主憐憫，減少死亡事件，將災害(傷害)減到最低，也為所有受創的百姓、家屬代禱，求主安慰。

8.      為整個救災及後續災後重建代求。

9.      求主興起基督徒和教會成為屬靈爭戰的勇士，攻破海地上空一切屬靈的堅固營壘。求主徹底翻轉海地的屬靈空氣，進入上帝的國度 。為海地、加勒比海國家全面歸耶和華為聖禱告。

海地與巫毒教

自1987年的海地憲法以來，巫毒教在海地一直處於非法地位。2006年4月，海地總統亞里斯第德（曾任天主教神父）正式承認巫毒教為該國合法宗教。巫毒教祭司（或稱houngans）獲得授權能如羅馬天主教神父般執行公民儀式，包括主持誕生、婚喪等儀式。一名巫毒教祭司艾得利說：「巫毒教為海地做了一切。它給了我們獨立自主，而進口的宗教卻掐住我們的脖子。我們欠亞里斯第德這份人情，他可以被視為巫毒教的總統。」2006年8月15日，海地人更以活人向巫毒教的鬼神獻祭的方式來慶祝國慶，藉此重新與魔鬼立約。

海地的國慶日要追溯到1804年8月14日，一位名叫布克曼的奴隸獻豬為祭，和魔鬼立約，海地人同意把他們的土地獻給魔鬼二百年，以換取自由，脫離法國人的統治。後來海地人雖脫離法國人而獲得自由，卻從此落入撒但的綑綁。傳統上在這國慶日，巫毒教的儀式會獻上一名兒童為祭。

根據報導，亞里斯第德曾付錢給電台，要求播放巫毒教的音樂來公開打擊基督徒和教會，並有多位牧師遇害，這應該歸罪於巫毒教的強大影響力。

根據統計，目前海地人口約近九百萬人，70%信奉巫毒教，包括很多自稱天主教徒的人。約有16%表明自己是基督徒，堅決反對巫毒教。成千上萬名宣教士正努力使人民離開巫毒廟宇，進入基督教會。

巫毒教往往要求信徒向各種神明獻上昂貴的祭品，貧窮的海地人愈來愈負擔不起，因為他們大多每天只靠不到一美元維生。1940年代，天主教會曾發起剷除巫毒教的行動，使巫毒教轉入地下多年。2006年4月，海地政府正式承認巫毒教，允許它的祭司可合法地為人主持婚禮。

「巫毒教」，源於非洲西部，是糅合祖先崇拜、拜物教、通靈術的原始宗教。流行於東起迦納西至奈及利亞的西非諸國，信仰的民族有芬人、夭努巴人等，也盛行於海地。巫毒教也是貝南的國教，有60%的國民，約四百五十萬人信奉。「巫毒」在芬語中是靈魂的意思。

巫毒教在海地農村非常盛行。按海地人的說法，巫毒神支配萬物，無所不能，對它虔誠，可驅魔避邪。海地人長期遭受外國殖民者的統治和奴役，迄今仍然生活在極度貧困之中，人均壽命只有50多歲。饑餓、疾病、動亂使他們對和平與新生活的企盼格外強烈。這就不難解釋他們對巫毒節傾注的那份熱情了。

巫毒教（Voodoo）是海地一種為傳教士所詬病的古老信仰。這種信仰起源自古代非洲的傳統多神崇拜，同時融入了一些天主教中魔鬼崇拜的元素。前總統老杜瓦利埃就曾利用這一崇拜，建立名叫「通頓馬庫特」（吃人魔王）的私人武裝，對其人民施以嚴格的控制。但另一方面，海地也有不少非常虔誠的天主教徒，而國內亦有不少殖民時期建立的天主教堂。

認識海地

元首：蒲雷華(René PREVAL)    首都：太子港(Port-au-Prince)     面積：27,750平方公里

地理位置：中美洲加勒比海島國     人口：892萬人    官方宗教：羅馬天主教 

主要宗教：天主教80%、基督徒16%  (浸禮宗10%、五旬宗14%、安息日會1%、其它1%)、無神論1%、其它 3% (全國人口70%仍相信巫毒教 )

官方語言：法語、克雷奧語，識字率52.9%    國體/政體–共和國

建國簡史和概況：

1492年哥倫布發現伊斯巴紐拉（Hispaniola)後西班牙即向該地從事殖民，逐漸佔領全境。原土著阿拉華克族（Arawak)印第安人約30萬人在逐次抵抗中被殺殆盡。

由於西國移民不甚踴躍，殖民政府自1512年起自非洲輸入黑奴以供奴役，17世紀法國流犯及冒險家來此發展，勢力逐漸強大。1679年西班牙根據呂斯威克條約將該島西部（即今之海地部份）割讓法國，1795年西班牙依據貝樂條約復將島之東部（即今之多明尼加部份）讓與法國。

法國佔據該島後一個世紀間，先後自非洲輸入約近百萬黑奴，由於統治手腕殘酷，黑人反抗時起，1801年11月在法軍服役之黑人將領戴沙林（Jean-Jacques Dessalines)會同其他黑人將校，在今之海地角外緣一次決定性戰役中推翻法國統治，並於1804年1月1日宣佈獨立，成為美洲新大陸第二個獨立國，1844年島之東部經過多次革命後，脫離海地統治，而獨立為多明尼加共和國。

禱告重點二

1.      求主開啟信徒屬靈的悟性，真知道福音的奧秘就是基督，在生活中活出神的話。

2.      為海地巫毒教的邪靈在耶穌的名下被制服，除去一切的愚蒙，海地人民不再視這邪惡制度為他們的傳統。為靈裡的蒙蔽，求主為這國家的百姓揭開甦醒過來。為當地基督徒及天主教的生命能真正改變興起守望傳福音，宣告海地要得到真正的自由。

3.      為敬虔的領袖興起：海地人口過多、罪案、貧窮、混亂等問題叢生，當局沒有對策，極需要有能力和智慧扭轉現狀的領袖，並為海地人民帶來公義和經濟及靈性上的益處。

4.      因教會窮困很多傳道人無法受訓練，禱告有人去幫助。也為教會的領袖興起突破環境的轄制，勝過物質的誘惑，有信心、有異象、有屬靈的權柄帶領教會往前。

5.      為猶太人回歸禱告：海地境內有200名猶太人。

Genesis Genealogy Prophecy

I got this website and related information per email from Yang Xiao.  It is quiet amazing to see how God can embed his message to us through years of genealogy in Genesis.

Not new but I just heard about it during my drive to work this

morning. Did some googling, here's one link

Block Hard for Tebow

Missionary, Home-schooled Kid:  

Born in the mission field, Manila, into a missionary couple, home schooled through high school, publicly professing his faith.

A Famed College Football Quarterback:

A Heisman Trophy-winningAmerican football quarterback for the Florida Gators. He was the first college footballplayer to both rush and pass for 20 touchdowns in a season and was the first sophomoreto win the Heisman.

What's in Common here? You may ask,


Quiet two contrast pictures: Tim Tebow bridges these two images seamlessly by doing one thing:  do what God calls him to do and do it with his whole heart.

I first learnt about Tim when I saw this picture: he paints this bible verse, Ephesian 2:8-10 for the farewell game to wrap up his college career as he did throughout every game he played as a witness to the Lord!!

Need Your Action: Block Hard for Tebow (Click this link to voice your support for this brave young man)

Yesterday, the National Organization for Women launched an effort to call on CBS to drop the Tebow Super Bowl ad.  The ad, produced by Focus on the Family, tells the story of Pam Tebow’s decision to continue with her pregnancy against doctor advice and give birth to the college football star, Tim Tebow.

Following struggles documented by the National Journal, NOW is searching for a way to make itself relevant in an increasingly pro-life America.  What is real here is NOW’s desperation to keep full information from women and rip apart a young man who has the courage of his convictions.

When someone this prominent is willing to put himself out there with a positive message about Life, we need to defend him.

In the space below, please enter your name and your message of encouragement to Tim Tebow and his family.  All these messages will be sent to him.  Let’s show Tim Tebow that the pro-life movement is standing behind him!

James 4:6

6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” 

哥林多後書三章1至3節 

我 们 岂 是 又 举 荐 自 己 麽 ？ 岂 像 别 人 用 人 的 荐 信 给 你 们 或 用 你 们 的 荐 信 给 人 麽 ？你 们 就 是 我 们 的 荐 信 ， 写 在 我 们 的 心 里 ， 被 众 人 所 知 道 所 念 诵 的 。你 们 明 显 是 基 督 的 信 ， 藉 着 我 们 修 成 的 。 不 是 用 墨 写 的 ， 乃 是 用 永 生 神 的 灵 写 的 ； 不 是 写 在 石 版 上 ， 乃 是 写 在 心 版 上 。

2 Corinthians 1-3

1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? 2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 

腓立比書二章 5-8節

你 们 当 以 基 督 耶 稣 的 心 为 心 ：他 本 有 神 的 形 像 ， 不 以 自 己 与 神 同 等 为 强 夺 的 ；反 倒 虚 己 ， 取 了 奴 仆 的 形 像 ， 成 为 人 的 样 式 ；既 有 人 的 样 子 ， 就 自 己 卑 微 ， 存 心 顺 服 ， 以 至 於 死 ， 且 死 在 十 字 架 上 。

Philippians 2:5-8

 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
