Sisters and Brothers,
Thanks to Arthur opening their house to host the video watching activity last week. And thanks to Ming-Su providing this wonderful video. We are not knowing more about St. Joseph's life, but understanding the purity of loving God that really does the wonder.
But make no mistake, get to know the scripture is still the first step of understand God's command. Surly, we don't want to over emphasize on memorizing the wording instead of understanding and following Gods' will. With the help of prayer and with our dedication through Bible study, we would get closer to Jesus' true disciples, one day hopefully.
This week, we will continue our journey of St. Paul's first letter to Corinthians. In Chapter 7, Paul provided the advice both to the married and unmarried or widowed. Paul clearly explained what we should do and what we should not. The passage is ever more important in today's society. With all the wishy-washy civil movement, we tend to get lost unknowingly make wrong choices/decisions. Paul's letter, like the light tower in the stormy night, gives us a concrete instruction and guidance.
In addition, Paul also addresses the asceticism. Instead of promoting asceticism to combat the materialism, Paul call us to a more correct perspective and a better sense of our own limitations. Right after advising us not over indulge in sexual-ism, Paul pointed out the wrongfulness of exaggerated or distorted asceticism in sexual matter.
God create this world in such a balance and beauty. Apparently, overdoing in anything may well deviate from God's original intend. May we all be aware not breaking the balance and keep world in such a harmony. Let's pray to the Lord give us wisdom to follow thy in the right way.
in Christ,
Dan
