我們需要在凡事上活出新耶路撒冷，在讀書的事上也不能例外。首先我們需要
有一種服在寶座上之神的元首權柄下，以祂為一切祝福和供應的源頭。不要為主所安排給我們的科系，給我們的老師，怨天尤人，那不是活出新耶路撒冷，那不是以新耶路撒冷的眼光來讀書，那是照世人的眼光來讀書。反之，我們該感謝著領受，並在每天、每堂課、讀書、考試前都禱告，讓祂居第一位，在我們全人中心登寶座。接下來，我們還需要有一個眼光，主把我擺在這個學校，這個班上，不是只為著讀書而讀書，我在那裡就是一個珍珠門，總要有些人是藉著我這一個門進到新耶路撒冷，若是我們在學的這些年間沒有人藉我得著生命，我就成了閒站的門，因此我們需要常為同學禱告。此外，我們需要顯出碧玉 澋膶嶋H，我們需要與世人有別，當同學要放縱的時候不會找我們，當同學說污穢世俗的言語看見我們來了，就停下他們的談論。我們也要能活出生命樹、生命水流的實際，我們是一個常常喜樂的人，常常歡呼的人。我們必須能說：凡口渴的人到我這裡來，我要使你們得活水喝！信我所信的祂腹中要流出活水的?shy;河！我們還要在讀書的事上活出新耶路撒冷之光的實際，我需要能向倪弟兄一樣，自己先讀神的話語，至終全校有一種讀經的風氣。這樣就成功了。 至於精金街道的實際說出我們要憑裡面神聖的性情來讀書。到底聚會和讀書時間兩者上如何取得平衡，完全要照著裡面的感覺，讓基督的平安來作仲裁 讚美主，新耶路撒冷的基礎是純金的，表徵神的神聖性情作城的建築基礎。而我們即是新耶路撒冷的構成分子，我們就必須是金的，我們?shy;是由塵土所造，但我們接受基督作我們的生命時，就重生我們成為金的。在重生時，我們接受了神聖的生命，就是金的生命。在亞當代表的舊造裡，我們是塵土人；但我們重生時，就成了金人。阿利路亞，我們雖然身為學生，我們仍然是新耶路撒冷的構成分子，課業不過是我們身為學生該完成的責任而已，所以在我們讀書，做功課時，也應該有金的性情在我們裡面，這金的性情就成為我們讀書時應有的基礎。無論是那一類的科目；是繁重或輕省，都是在這一個金的基礎上讀書。近來在讀書的事上主光照我不是在金的基礎上讀書，常會看自己的得失，當成績好時，心情就好一點；成績不好時，心情就差一點，看見這些都是我屬土的性情，到頭來榮耀或羞愧都是自己，沒有神，沒有金的性情。於是，我就向主說：「主啊！真是願意向你悔改，地上的榮耀有一天都要過去，我不願再為這些必朽壞的勞力，我願意照著你金的性情讀書，作為新耶路撒冷的構成分子，無論成敗，都是你。 這樣敞開自己向主禱告後，我就摸著有一道生命水的河從寶座流出來，流到我裡頭，解了我在課業上追求滿足而不得其效的飢渴；而長在河兩岸的生命樹也作了我的食物供應我，把神帶給我。當我願意在讀書的事上服在寶座的權柄之下，我就嘗到新耶路撒冷，神與人的居所之甜美

FYI
Why We need to celebrate Christmas?
We do not celebrate Christmas for some reasons.
1. The date Jesus was born is not mentioned in the Bible.
2. During December, in the Middle East including Israel, the weather is cold and snowing, the flock can only stay in sheep pen. Besides, the shepherds will not spend their nights in the fields. But in Luke 2:8 “And there were shepherds in the same region, spending their nights in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.” What is recorded in the Bible is true and cannot be denied, so the date of “Christmas” (25/12) is incorrect.
3. The Bible does not record the date because God don’t want “Christmas” become a religious activity. When we are saved, God was born in us.
4. The Bible does not tell us to remember the birth of Jesus. However, Jesus wants us to declare the Lord’s death and remember His resurrection until He comes. (Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-26, Luke 22:16-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

關於喝水的14個驚人真相
如今，重視喝水的女人，越來越多了；但真正會喝的人，卻為數不多。不挑時間地喝、不計較內容地喝、不動腦筋地喝……都只能證明你只是喝水，卻不一定是喝對了水。在這個愛惜身體成為一種流行的年代，曾經被認為最簡單的喝水，也不得不成了一門高深的學問。
關於喝水的14個驚人真相
1、清晨慎補水
許多女人把起床後飲水視為每日的功課，圖它潤腸通便，降低血粘度，讓整個人看上去水靈靈的。可是早晨怎樣補水才更健康呢？其實，沒有一定之規，早餐補水也要因人而異。
消瘦，膚白，體質寒涼的人，早晨不適合飲用低於體溫的牛奶，果汁或冷水，可以換作溫熱的湯、粥。
鮮搾果汁不適合早晨空空的腸胃，即使是在夏季也要配合早餐一起飲用。
早晨補水忌鹽，煲的濃濃的肉湯、鹹鹹的馄饨湯都不適合早晨，這只會加重早晨身體的饑渴。
2、餐前補水最養胃
吃飯前還要補水嗎？那不是會沖淡胃液影響消化嗎？西餐有餐前開胃的步驟，其道理在於利用湯菜來調動食欲，潤滑食道，為進餐做好准備。那麼，飯前補水也就有
著同樣的意義，進固體食物前，先小飲半杯(約100毫升)，可以是室溫的果汁、酸奶，也可以是溫熱的冰糖菊花水或淡淡的茶水，或者是一小碗濃濃的開胃湯，
都是很好的養胃之法。
3、多喝看不見的水
有的人看上去一天到晚都不喝水，那是因為由食物中攝取的水分已經足夠應付所需。食物也含水，比如米飯，其中含水量達到60%，而粥呢，就更是含水豐富了。
翻開食物成分表不難看出，蔬菜水果的含水量一般超過70%，即便一天只吃500克果蔬，也能獲得300~400毫升水分(有兩懷呦)。加之日常飲食講究的
就是干稀搭配，所以從三餐食物中獲得1500~2000毫升的水分並不困難。不如充分利用三餐進食的機會來補水吧，多選果蔬和不鹹的湯粥，補水效果都不
錯。
4、記住利水食物
所謂利水食物是指能增加身體水分排***的食物，如西瓜、咖啡、茶等含有利尿成分，能促進腎髒尿液的形成；還有粗糧、蔬菜水果等含有膳食纖維，能在腸道結合大量水分，增加糞便的重量；辛辣刺激的成分能促進體表毛細血管的舒張，讓人大汗淋漓、體表水分流失。
補也好、利也好，都是達到身體水分平衡的手段。
5、暢飲與美容無關
身體缺少水分，皮膚看上去會干燥沒有光澤；飲水過少還容易發生便干，甚至便秘，皮膚很容易生小痘痘。雖說如此，單單靠補充水分對膚質和膚色的影響畢竟有
限，不過現在很多添加維生素的飲料打出了美容牌，比如一種含乳飲料裡面含有維生素
B6，其產品聲稱“能令皮膚潤滑細嫩”，而現在含有這種“美容維生素”的飲料還真不少。正統的營養學專著中並沒有提到它的美容作用，好在攝入多些一沒有危
險，二還可以預防冠心病的發生，也算有益無害吧。
6、水裡的“殺機”
經過煮沸的自來水可能含有具有致癌性的高氯化合物，如經較長時間放置(隔夜)水質會發生老化。
現在各種家用水處理機也紛紛登場，類似曾風靡一時的礦泉壺，這樣的設備存在後續維護的問題，就如同飲水機，可能成為飲用水二次污染的源頭。
7、喝運動飲料的學問
劇烈運動前後不能補白水，也不能補高濃度的果汁，而應補運動飲料。運動飲料中應該含有少量糖分、鈉鹽、鉀、鎂、鈣和多種水溶性維生素，以補充運動中身體所
失及所需。飲白水會造成血液稀釋，排汗量劇增，進一步加重脫水。果汁中過高的糖濃度使果汁由胃排空的時間延長，造成運動中胃部不適。運動飲料中特殊設計的
無機鹽和糖的濃度會避免這些不良反應。運動飲料的溫度也講究，過高不利於降低體溫散熱，過涼會造成胃腸道痙攣，一般應口感清涼，溫度在10左右。
8、警惕酸味飲料
各種果汁飲料多采用檸檬酸作味劑，檸檬酸食用過多，大量的有機酸驟然進入人體，當攝入量超過機體對酸的處理能力時，就會使體內的PH值不平衡，導致酸血症
的產生，使人疲乏，困倦。特別是在盛夏，由於天氣炎熱，出汗較多，人體會損失大量的電解質，如鉀、鈉、氯等鹼性成分，大量的酸味飲料更容易令體液呈酸性。
因此，在夏季不宜過多飲用添加有機酸的酸味飲料。
9、甜飲料的陷阱
如果口渴的時候首先想到的是飲料，可是相當危險的。可樂、雪碧、芬達的含糖量是
11%，超過了西瓜、蘋果、柑橘等很多種水果，一聽350毫升的可樂所含的能量等同於一片面包、一個玉米或250克水果。各種果汁的含糖量與此相當，甚至
還要更高於它。脈動、她/他、激活等看上去像水的維生素飲料也含有3%的糖分，如果喝上一大瓶(600毫升吧)，對體重的影響相當可觀。也的確聽說過有人
因為暴飲甜飲料而罹患糖尿病的不幸遭遇呢。
10、淡鹽水的壞處
淡鹽水是指相當於生理濃度的鹽水，每百毫升中含 1克左右的鹽分，它在日常生活中有幾種用途：一、大汗之後補充身體丟失的水分和鈉；二、腹瀉之後補充由腸道丟失的水分和鹽，維持電解質的平衡；三、淡鹽水漱口能清除口腔 內的細菌，減輕口咽部炎症造成的紅腫。
但是，淡鹽水不適合心髒功能不好，有高血壓的人飲用，特別是在早晨，當血液粘稠度最高時，飲用淡鹽水會加重口干，促進血壓升高。
11、識破“花樣”水
純淨水，經多重過濾去除了各種微生物、雜質和有益的礦物質，突出的是飲用的安全性，它是一種軟水，許多人認為它不夠營養，長期飲用不利健康，可是這種觀點未被證實。
礦泉水，是種自然資源，由地層深處開采出來，含有豐富的稀有礦物質，略呈鹼性，應該更有利於健康，但是不排除有機物污染的可能。
礦物質水，在純淨水中按照人體濃度比例添加礦物質濃縮液配制而成的人工礦泉水，標志著飲用水科技的新高度。
12、愛運動更要會補水
運動補水要掌握以下原則：
a.不能渴時才補。因為感到口渴時，丟失的水分已達體重的2%。
b.運動前、中、後都要補水。運動前2小時補250—500毫升；運動前即刻補150—250毫升；運動中每15~20分钟補120—240毫升；運動後按運動中體重的丟失量，體重每下降1千克需補1升。
13、勤補水不明智
身體處於穩定狀態的時候，每天正常補水1000~2000亳升，讓小便保持清亮充沛就可以了。但是如果自覺或不自覺地大量飲水，這其中就有問題了。首先，
說明你的身體可能處於脫水狀態，身處高溫環境，大量排汗或大量進食鹽分都可能千百萬這種情況，那麼補水是必要的；其次，如果存在高血糖、垂體或腎髒功能異
常的情況；或者處於感昌、發燒等感染性疾病中；又或者有泌尿系統炎症，甚至是一名高尿酸血症患者，那也可以主動大量飲水。而一個健康人在不感覺口渴的情況
下飲水超過2000毫升/天就實在沒有必要了，那只不過是一再考驗自身的腎髒功能罷了。
14、維生素C飲料多喝無益
新上市的飲料中很多都含有維生素C，維生素C的益處自不必說，為了預防缺乏，每天人體需要補充60~100毫克。“酷兒”的維生素C含量為3~30毫克
/100毫升，“脈動”為25~50毫克/100毫升，“她”是15毫克/100毫升，也就是說，飲用此類飲料一瓶獲得的維生素C就能滿足每天的需要量。
那麼，如果你飲用2瓶、3瓶，甚至更多呢？會不會發生維生素C中毒的情況呢？好在維生素C的安全范圍廣，但是千萬不要以為它是多多益善的，過量攝入能引起
泌尿系統結石，滲透性腹瀉以及大劑量維生素C依賴症。

因為暴飲甜飲料而罹患糖尿病的不幸遭遇呢。
10、淡鹽水的壞處
淡鹽水是指相當於生理濃度的鹽水，每百毫升中含 1克左右的鹽分，它在日常生活中有幾種用途：一、大汗之後補充身體丟失的水分和鈉；二、腹瀉之後補充由腸道丟失的水分和鹽，維持電解質的平衡；三、淡鹽水漱口能清除口腔 內的細菌，減輕口咽部炎症造成的紅腫。
但是，淡鹽水不適合心髒功能不好，有高血壓的人飲用，特別是在早晨，當血液粘稠度最高時，飲用淡鹽水會加重口干，促進血壓升高。
11、識破“花樣”水
純淨水，經多重過濾去除了各種微生物、雜質和有益的礦物質，突出的是飲用的安全性，它是一種軟水，許多人認為它不夠營養，長期飲用不利健康，可是這種觀點未被證實。
礦泉水，是種自然資源，由地層深處開采出來，含有豐富的稀有礦物質，略呈鹼性，應該更有利於健康，但是不排除有機物污染的可能。
礦物質水，在純淨水中按照人體濃度比例添加礦物質濃縮液配制而成的人工礦泉水，標志著飲用水科技的新高度。
12、愛運動更要會補水
運動補水要掌握以下原則：
a.不能渴時才補。因為感到口渴時，丟失的水分已達體重的2%。
b.運動前、中、後都要補水。運動前2小時補250—500毫升；運動前即刻補150—250毫升；運動中每15~20分钟補120—240毫升；運動後按運動中體重的丟失量，體重每下降1千克需補1升。
13、勤補水不明智
身體處於穩定狀態的時候，每天正常補水1000~2000亳升，讓小便保持清亮充沛就可以了。但是如果自覺或不自覺地大量飲水，這其中就有問題了。首先，
說明你的身體可能處於脫水狀態，身處高溫環境，大量排汗或大量進食鹽分都可能千百萬這種情況，那麼補水是必要的；其次，如果存在高血糖、垂體或腎髒功能異
常的情況；或者處於感昌、發燒等感染性疾病中；又或者有泌尿系統炎症，甚至是一名高尿酸血症患者，那也可以主動大量飲水。而一個健康人在不感覺口渴的情況
下飲水超過2000毫升/天就實在沒有必要了，那只不過是一再考驗自身的腎髒功能罷了。
14、維生素C飲料多喝無益
新上市的飲料中很多都含有維生素C，維生素C的益處自不必說，為了預防缺乏，每天人體需要補充60~100毫克。“酷兒”的維生素C含量為3~30毫克
/100毫升，“脈動”為25~50毫克/100毫升，“她”是15毫克/100毫升，也就是說，飲用此類飲料一瓶獲得的維生素C就能滿足每天的需要量。
那麼，如果你飲用2瓶、3瓶，甚至更多呢？會不會發生維生素C中毒的情況呢？好在維生素C的安全范圍廣，但是千萬不要以為它是多多益善的，過量攝入能引起
泌尿系統結石，滲透性腹瀉以及大劑量維生素C依賴症。

宿舍风波
最近南宿舍发生了一些风波。。。看了这次的风波我里头有很深的感想。。。我想以七步诗为这次风波的转折点的关键。。。
煮 豆 燃 豆 萁，
豆 在 釜 中 泣。
本 是 同 根 生，
相 煎 何 太 急？
真的，没有什么事是不能好好解决的哦！！！

真实人生的写照－说出你需要耶稣
２００７年９月２９日晚上在古晋市召会有福音聚会。感谢主，我也邀了我的朋友一起去。这次福音聚会的主题是“真实人生的写照－说出你需要耶稣”。我已经是基督徒了，所以我希望我的朋友都能相信主耶稣。首先我们要认识，我们都是罪人。（罗马书三２３）－（因为众人都犯了罪，亏欠了神的荣耀。）第二，我们是病人（马可福音二１７）－（耶稣听见，就对他们说，强健的人用不着医生，有病的人才用的着；我来本不是召义人，乃是召罪人。）第三，我们是死人。（以弗所书二１）－（而你们原是死在过犯并罪之中。）但感谢主，圣经启示了耶稣基督的救恩。（使徒行传二３８）第一，耶稣基督的救恩叫人借着悔改相信受浸，是罪得赦免，不再被定罪，反得神永远的生命。第二，耶稣基督的救恩叫人的病，无论是身理或心理上的病，都得着医治。（彼得前书二２４）第三，耶稣基督的救恩叫我们这必死的人，得着神的生命，就是神永远的生命，在末日得着复活。（约翰福音十一２５）。不仅如此，圣经还启示得着耶稣基督救恩的路。第一，悔改－心归向神（你们要悔改，因为诸天的国临近了。）（马太福音四１７下）。第二，相信－接受（凡接受他的，就是信入他名的人，他就赐他们权柄，成为神的儿女。）（约翰福音一１２）。第三，承认－求告（就是你若口里人耶稣为主，心里信神叫他从死人中复活，就必得救；因为人心里信，就得着义；口里承认，就得救。…因为，“凡呼求主名的，就必得救。”）（罗马书十９~１０、１３）。第四，受浸－见证（信而受浸的必然得救。）（马可福音十六１６上）愿主祝福您。
一个很好的教训
今天是星期六。一早就听到“susun
kasut! Susun kasut! Warden datang spot check!!”哦！要查房了咯。这下可不得了哦。。。有违禁品的房间最为忙碌。。。不能被抓到哦，不然要中saman. 我就没什么问题咯，因为我房间没有所谓的违禁品。当然很不幸的，有一位学弟因为经验不够老到而被查出拥有所谓的违禁品(rice
cooker等等)。。。晚上出去时因为忘了在buku pas写去那里，结果回来时才惊觉我的pass book 被没收了。。。星期一还要去HEP去见训导主任，要被他训了一顿才能拿回我的passbook。这下完蛋了，在师训两年多了，还是第一次passbook被没收。。。心里很不好受哦。所谓不经一事，不长一智。这对我真是一个很好的教训。。。

Sajak ‘Erti Sahabat’
Persahabatan…
apabila dua
insan bertemu,berkenalan dan bersahabat,
hubungan
persahabatan mula terjalin…
siapakah dia
sahabat?
ada orang
berkata orang yang baik kepada kita,itulah sahabat
fikirannya, ideologinya,dan
bicaranya seakan serupa dengan kita,
itukah yang
dinamakan sahabat?
apakah sahabat
itu sekadar teman bicara ketika suka,
tapi teman dusta
ketika kita berduka?
jalan-jalan
kehidupan yang kita lalui,penuh ranjau dan duri,
mencari teman
sejati sebagai tempat berlindung diri,
adakala sahabat
itu muncul sendiri dan tidak usah dicari lagi
tanpa kita
sedari dan dugai..
seolah-olah
Tuhan Yang Maha Mengetahui
mengerti dan
memahami hati ini
apabila sahabat
itu tidak sekadar berkata-kata manis
tapi mengotakan
kata-katanya
itulah erti
persahabatan yang sebenarnya…
kerana seorang
sahabat setia takkan menjadi musuh dalam selimut
yang menikam
dari belakang dan
cuba
memboikot kita
hendaklah kita
beringat selalu,kerana hati manusia tiada siapa yang tahu…
Nukilan hati,
Timothy

In the Singleness and Sincerity of God
Dear saints, I shared this portion recently with my son. I enjoyed this because this is who I am also. Because he related to me that he enjoyed this portion so much, I send it to you all now because I think that some of you may enjoy it or hear our Lord speak IN it, Amen.
B. Conducting Themselves in the World
1. In the Singleness and Sincerity of God
Why did Paul speak to the Corinthians about singleness? It was because the Corinthians were very complicated. They had many different ways. This was the reason some preferred Apollos, and others preferred Cephas or Paul. Actually, 1 Corinthians is a book which deals with the complications of the believers at Corinth. The source of confusion and division among Christians today is the complications that are within the believers. If all Christians became simple, there would be no problems among them. The problems in a local church always come from complications. If there is a problem in your locality, that problem comes from someone who is not simple, but who is complicated. For this reason, I always try to avoid being involved with a complicated person. Whenever you meet a complicated person, you should not try to argue with him or correct him. Any attempts at argument or correction will cause you to become trapped in complications. In verse 12 Paul speaks of the singleness and sincerity of God. The sincerity of God is a divine virtue, a virtue of what God is. To conduct ourselves in such a virtue means to experience God Himself. Hence, it equals “in the grace of God” also mentioned in this verse. God is wise and almighty. But in a sense He is also single; He is very simple. When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He was wise; yet He was also simple and single. I very much enjoy having contact with the Lord Jesus because of His singleness and simplicity. However, when you talk to certain brothers, you find that they are extremely complicated. But our God is simple. Whenever we talk to Him, we find that He is not full of complications. When He says yes, He means yes, and when He says no, He means no. Likewise, when He says white or black, He means white or black, not gray. No matter how God may feel about us at a particular time, He is always single. He may be unhappy with us or He may be happy, but He Himself is simple. From experience we have learned that a person who is simple and single is also generous and full of liberality. Those who are simple are those who give freely. For example, suppose a brother approaches a person so single and tells him that he is short of money to pay his rent. Immediately the one who is simple will be willing to give that brother whatever he needs. This illustrates the fact that to be simple is to be generous. But those who are complicated are not generous. Instead of being willing to give freely, they may consider the matter in a complicated way and then give an amount that falls short of the need. Paul was single, simple, and generous. Only a person so single is a generous person. If you lack singleness, you will never be generous or bountiful toward others. Our God is bountiful toward us because He is single. Imagine what would happen to us if God were not single and if He thought about us in a complicated way. Probably He would not care for us. Would you like God to consider your situation and examine you in detail? Would you like Him to look at you from head to toe and consider what you are inwardly and outwardly? None of us would be favored by God if He examined us in this way. But because of God’s singleness and generosity, we have received blessing from Him. I would ask you to compare Paul to the Corinthians. Paul was like the simple God, but the Corinthians were extremely complicated. If Paul had not been single and simple, he probably would have forgotten about the Corinthians and would no longer have been willing to minister among them. Paul’s conscience testified that toward the Corinthians he and his co-workers conducted themselves in the singleness of God. Therefore, they could be generous toward the Corinthians and be willing to give them anything. Toward those believers, Paul and his co-workers were generous and full of bounty. The Greek word rendered singleness is rich in meaning. The words singleness or simplicity are not an adequate translation. This word implies generosity, liberality, bounty, and willingness to give. If a married brother is simple, he will be very generous toward his wife, no matter what she does or how she treats him. However, if a brother is complicated, he will deal with his wife in a strict way. Paul was one who conducted himself in the singleness of God. He was a true imitator of God and one who lived God. God is simple, and Paul also was simple. God is generous, and Paul also was generous. He behaved himself in the singleness of God. When we have singleness and generosity, we shall also be sincere. It is a common practice to close a letter with the words “sincerely yours.” Actually, this usually means “politically yours,” or, at best, “politely yours.” A person may write a long letter full of complications, and then at the end say “sincerely yours.” That is not sincerity. Only when you treat others in a single way and with generosity can you truly say “sincerely yours.” Because Paul conducted himself in the singleness of God and because he was generous, he was truly sincere. I certainly would not claim to be an absolute and faithful imitator of Paul. But I can testify that throughout the years, we have been trained, taught, and helped by the Lord’s mercy and grace to behave ourselves in simplicity, singleness, sincerity, and generosity. I can testify to you before the Lord that I do not play politics. Furthermore I can say before Him that I am a simple person. My yes is yes, and my no is no.

Enjoyment of Christ
Our spirit must be strengthened as we are very strong in the mind and our spirit is very very weak. So, we need to excercise our spirit to pray. We need to repent and confess by turning our mind away from other things to the Lord. When our spirit is strengthened Christ will increasingly make His home in all the parts of our heart.
