On this website's past two menus (below) there have been articles about the Islamization of the world, and the spread of Sharia Law. What can we do?
Here's what one
US surgeon did ...he used love ...with amazing results: |
On the menu of Feb 13 (below) I mentioned how I helped two Tanzanian inmates in HK prisons to re-enroll at the Open University of HK (for which I borrowed 2 x HK$5,000). Well, this morning I borrowed another 2 x HK$5,000 to enroll two more inmates, one from Burkina Faso, the other from South Africa. If any kind readers could please help with these bills I'd sure be grateful. jdwomi@gmail.com |

Isaiah
46-49 While I was thinking that I had toiled in vain, all the while my cause was with the Lord. The Lord who formed me in the womb
and assigned me to rescue his people, that same Lord said to me: The Lord also says to his people: "Does a woman forget her baby, Lord, please help me understand |
Psalm
33 For the Lord loves justice and right; he fills the earth with his love. By his word the heavens were made, he spoke and the universe came into being. They are happy, whose God is the Lord, he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord, since we place all our trust in you. Lord, we trust in your precious love

News of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was withheld by the Japanese military from the civilian government ministers and from the public for some days. Making a bigger impression on the military than the atomic bomb was the Soviet declaration of war on Japan and the Soviet invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. In his report to the American people, President Truman said "The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base" (President UnTruman?) |

Europe will soon be Muslim (see yesterday's menu, below). How can other places avoid the same fate? By stopping Muslim immigration? By encouraging non-Muslim immigration (from Africa, India, China, South America)? By encouraging non-Muslim citizens to have more babies? By standing up to Islamic pressure groups? The

Isaiah
43-45 If you travel over the seas, I will be with you. If you travel on great rivers, I will protect you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. They are ignorant, those who carry around an idol made of wood, Turn to me and be saved, all peoples of the world. Lord, please help me be more
aware of your protection |
Psalm
31 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in distress. My eyes are full of tears, my heart full of sorrow. Everyone makes fun of me. My friends don't want to know me. I praise you Lord, for you protect those who trust you. You keep them safe from slander and lies. Be strong, let your heart take courage, all you who trust in the Lord I trust in you, Lord. My life is in your hands

Luke 10.29-37 The religious leader then asked another question: "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied "A man on a journey was attacked by robbers. They beat him, took all he had, and left him seriously injured A priest came by and saw the man, but did not help him. A temple worker also saw him, but did not help. But a lowly foreigner who saw him was moved with pity The foreigner bandaged his wounds, and used his own donkey to take the man to an inn. He paid the innkeeper to look after the man Which of the three was a neighbor to the injured man?" The leader replied "The one who helped him". Jesus then said "Go, and do the same" Jesus, please don't let me ignore people who need help |

c.f. Readings for "Sunday 6" Leviticus 13.(1-46) The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘If a swelling or scab or shiny spot appears on a man’s skin, a case of leprosy of the skin is to be suspected. A man infected with leprosy must wear his clothing torn and his hair disordered; he must shield his upper lip and cry, “Unclean, unclean.” As long as the disease lasts, he must be unclean; and therefore he must live apart: he must live outside the camp.’ Lord, please heal all lepers

Psalm
32 For a while I refused to ask for forgiveness, and my body paid the penalty. But then I said "Lord, forgive me" Lord, when I do wrong, please give me the grace to say sorry and ask forgiveness
|
Whatever you eat, whatever you drink, whatever you do at all, do it for the glory of God. Never do anything offensive to anyone – to Jews or Greeks or to the Church of God; just as I try to be helpful to everyone at all times, not anxious for my own advantage but for the advantage of everybody else, so that they may be saved. Take me for your model, as I take Christ. Jesus,
please help me do things to give you, not myself, honor
|
Mark 1.40-45 A leper came to Jesus and on his knees pleaded "If you want to, you can heal me". Feeling sorry for him, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said "Of course I want to heal you. Be healed!" The leprosy left him at that moment and he was healed. Jesus told the man not to tell people what had happened (in case people misunderstood Jesus' spiritual mission and tried to use him politically). But the man told everyone. Soon Jesus could not go openly into any town (for fear the crowds would become unruly) so he stayed in remote places. Even so, people from all around the district would come to him. Jesus, please heal people who are lepers |

Isaiah
41-42 Stop being anxious and worried. Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have endowed him with my spirit He does not cry out or shout aloud. He does not extinguish the wavering flame. I have called him to serve the cause of right, to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from prison". Lord, please help me understand how "my servant" is Jesus |
Psalms
29-30 You changed my mourning into dancing. So I will thank you always. Thank you, Lord, for all the times you have healed me
|
Try to discover what the Lord wants of you. Have nothing to do with the futile works of darkness Wake up from your sleep, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you Be very careful about the sort of life you live. Follow your enlightened mind, not your unruly passions Avoid drunkenness. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Sing prayer songs when you are together, and when you're by yourself, keep on singing to the Lord in your heart, always giving thanks to God Jesus, make my heart sing right through the day

Luke
10.25-28 Jesus replied "What does the Law say?" He replied "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and you must care for others as much as you care about yourself" "You are correct", said Jesus, "do this and life is yours" Jesus, help me to love you with all my heart....and to care for others as much as I care about myself

An atheist was spending a
quiet day fishing in Scotland when suddenly his boat was attacked by the
Loch Ness monster. In a second the monster
tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it
opened its mouth to swallow him. As the man fell head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, dear God! Help me please!" At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice from above said: "I thought you didn't believe in Me!" "Come on Lord, give me a break!!" the man pleaded." Two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!" |

Luke 10.17-24 The 72 came back rejoicing. "Lord", they said, "even the devils submit to us when we use your name" Jesus replied "Yes, I have given you power to tread underfoot the whole strength of the enemy Yet do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you. Rejoice rather that your names are written in heaven Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it" Jesus, thank you for the gift of faith

You must give up your old way of life. You must put aside your old self and its delusions Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual revolution, so that you can follow a way of life based on goodness and truth From now on, no more lies. Delete anger from your mind at the end of each day Anyone who was a thief must stop stealing. Try to find a decent job Guard against foul talk. Let your conversation encourage people, not drag them down Avoid grudges. Don't lose your temper. Don't raise your voice to anyone. Don't call people names Be friends with one another, and kind, forgiving one another as readily as God forgives us in Christ Jesus, help me put these words into practice |

Yesterday
was spent at Tong Fuk Prison where I visited more than a dozen Tanzanian
inmates, some of whose families I met last month in Tanzania. In the
past I encouraged African inmates to learn Cantonese, since they were in
HK. But having been to Africa and become aware of the huge number of
Mainland companies and personnel in Africa, I'm now encouraging inmates
to learn Mandarin as a way of finding employment on their return to
Africa. |
