昨天台灣選舉，有些人看到發心臟病了，有些人則是樂翻天。其實這些數據也只不過反映出現在的民調。如果人民的心沒有一個很穩固的根基，隨時都有可能會再次波動的。所以說，越動盪的時刻會出現越平繁的政變。即使現在公投反映出台灣大多數的人還是支持一夫一妻的婚姻制度，若是人們沒有在現實生活中見證到一夫一妻的家庭價值在哪，這個數據之後仍舊會波動不定，因為根基不夠。

抓住神機會的風:2017年雙十節的雙彩虹
回憶2015年的住棚節以色列之旅 (我手機攝影的幾段影片):今年的耶路撒冷列國遊行剛好在今年的中華民國雙十節!! 兩年前的耶路撒冷遊行喜樂又和平(沒有暴動也沒有人打架)
Remembering the Israel trip from 2015 during the Feast of Tabernacles (a few video clips I filmed with my mobile phone). This year, the Jerusalem March (of the nations) coincided with the "double cross day" (tenth of October, for those who don't know, the Chinese character for ten is actually the shape of a crucifix, and the Chinese term for the crucifix is actually means "ten word frame"): the national celebration day of the Republic of China (the current governing power on Taiwan). Two years ago the Jerusalem March was very joyful and peaceful (no riots).

享受神的同在只是為了自high嗎?

同性婚姻議題
不知道為什麼，有些人會認為反對同性婚姻就是恨同志或恐同。每個政策，都會出現對該政策認同即不認同的人們，每個人都有自己同意或反對的原因，而且這些原因，是因人而異。但是人就是喜歡歸類，對一個群體貼標籤。例如，「基督徒都是在恨同志的」。我還知道有些基督徒是支持同性婚姻的，也知道有些非基督徒及同志是反對同性婚姻的，而且每一位個體支持或反對的原因都很獨特。很多人都講得出各式各樣符合自己邏輯的原因，而這邏輯在另外一個人的耳中不覺得是邏輯。

生命:深度或長度
雖然我八歲就離開台灣之後就沒有在回來長住，但我一直把它看為我的家鄉，所以仍然的關注這塊地的新聞，而且每年都會回國一兩次。今年很特別，因奶奶身體不穩定的原故就已經回去了三次!從去年到今年，台灣特別的動盪，所以一向時常表達對公眾議題看法的我都沒有時間下筆，下一例事件就發生了。前些日子在台灣替奶奶辦喪事時剛好遇到八仙公園彩虹趴粉塵爆炸案已經流了很多淚，畢竟人就站在台灣這片土地上。最近看到年輕善良的反課綱學生林冠華自殺案件，特別痛心。雖然自殺不是解決問題的方法，但我能感受到，很多被困在社會體系惡性循環中的青年們心中的無奈。林冠華是一個腦袋非常清楚又很有想法的年輕人，因不願意順從台灣社會的體系及傳統價值觀而遭到家人的否定。我大概能理解為何他寧可為理想與價值觀而死，也不要過一個被家人和社會體系給棄絕，如同行屍走肉般的漫長歲月。

什麼是所謂的成功? 什麼是失敗? 是誰定義的? 死亡就一定是代表輸了嗎?

2014台北市長選舉:前所未有的豬羊變色
這次台北市長選舉好精彩!! 選出首任無黨籍市長!
就看看 政治釋迦 (政治世家連勝文) 與 夜剋魔 (臺大醫院的「葉克膜」 創傷醫學部主任 柯文哲) 的天龍之戰! ! 很好玩的是在2010年，連勝文槍擊案發生當天時，是柯文哲負責指揮外科急救團隊，在臺大醫院醫療團隊配合下，積極搶救連勝文。

從來無法理解為什麼有些人可以崇拜自己不認識的人
最近選舉哄哄鬧鬧，又有一大堆國際領袖會議。
從來無法理解為什麼有些人可以崇拜自己不認識的人~不合邏輯啊
呵，難怪我很難突然的「墜入愛河」!太快就觀察到本質，無法進入理想化的幻想

Christianity and Political Democratization:The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan vs KMT
As I read about The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan today 3 Sept, I realised that was the beautiful example of the topic of my assignment: a church which went from missionary initiation to full indigenisation. I happened to read through all the stuff on the oppression/national identity crisis and it just seem to coincide with the recent instabilities in Hong Kong and the negative comment made by an elderly Nationalist (KMT) politician with regards to Taiwan’s autonomy in response to the “93 soldiers’ celebration”!
剛好在九三軍人節時讀到台灣長老教會與國民黨的衝突!

Conciliarism: more than an argument concerning the authority of popes versus councils
Abstract:
Conciliarism was more than a simply an argument concerning the authority of popes versus councils. This essay first reviews the historical events leading up to the Great Western Schism. Then it explores how threat in the unity of the church brought about the conciliar movement. Finally it analyses the various councils held in the era. From this, we make the conclusion that conciliarism was a complicated movement which came about firstly a response to the threatened division of the church due to the Great Western Schism, secondly as a result of ambitions and interests of various political powers, and thirdly, in response to the rampant abuse of papal power as a call for reformation. Therefore, the conciliar movement was not simply a power struggle between the authority of popes versus councils but an attempt to achieve unity and reformation of the Church.
This essay seeks to assess the view that conciliarism was more than a simply an argument concerning the authority of popes versus councils. This essay will first review the historical events leading up to the Great Western Schism. Secondly we will explore how threat in the unity of the church brought about the conciliar movement. Finally we will review the various councils held in the era to analyse whether it was simply a power struggle between the popes versus councils or something more.
