near biblical truths

 

so how good are these near biblical truths?

wanna know what really goes on in OLC? that's the "outreach language center", or my thu bible studies in english for thai professionals. i teach on thursdays, santosh on tuesdays, sarah on thursdays at noon.

the thais are upgrading bbqs to a new green era.

and read about the english teachers in korea.

a while ago, i went to www.howmanyofme.com and was pleasantly surprised to find that there are more daniel kim's, joseph kim's, david kim's, michael kim's, john kim's than my precious 'paul kim's! how many of you are out there?

i play the game of life with my kids from time to time. from the game we learn that money is the only thing that matters in life. kids are a financial burden, education is all about getting a good job, and we need to get all kinds of insurance-- american style!

but i do miss american beef. and southern california tacos. and i still remember the al pastor tacos in that restaurant in oaxaca. and who can forget eating those special tortas with el toro near the prison in tijuana?

i should say something serious about missions. it's been almost 3 years now, and i feel more strongly than ever about how my personal example should be the 89% base for the tip of the iceberg that includes my preaching and activities.

and my question to you: what's the difference between the two categories? (the western culture has been all hung out in systems and categories ever since aristotle; but no, don't let me answer for you.)

hello~

interesting post.  i do actually read them..!  and thanks for your email and all the info.  i finally know what you do!  but it's very helpful, and hopefully i really will be able to spend some more time in the Bangkok area.  i always seem to book it straight to the mountains each time i go through.  i recently read an article about dave g. on Christianity Today online.  so it was cool to have seen a bit of what he had envisioned there.  i'll keep in touch as our trip gets closer.  God bless!  hope the family is well.  hopefully i'll be able to meet them next time instead of slipping in and out like last time.

this is the most links you put on a post in recent memory. i think you need to make a portal site that links to all things relevant for the modern day mission minded christian.

It looks like there is only one Superbub. Guess it's not a popular name. Not sure what my parents were thinking...

What 2 categories are you referring to in your last question? Personal example and outward ministry activities?

@superbub - yeah. and i'm kinda doubting the legitimacy of my own question in the parenthesis, even though i'm challenging our occupational lifestyle of trying to go through our eternal to-do-list-- and write nice reports about it. which reminds me, time for my annual mission report.

a green bbq sounds nice, but time is important these days...

Hey Paul, you are Kon Thai laew. We are in the same culture. no different, right? Thank you for your pray and your supports to everyone. I'm thinking about your suggestion on a "Green" Verge. do you have further idea?

do you mean the difference between the categories of "personal life" vs "preaching/activities" in regards to being a missionary? aren't they one? and not separate? or rather that they should be one and not different? what you preach and teach is made alive in your own life which stands to others as an example of what you preach/teach. the life exemplifies what you preach. was it a trick question?
