YEC bible study: 11/17 meeting diary & break on 11/24

my YEC friends,
today we watched the testament of the ex-porn star I told you about; and it really inspired us new thoughts both in the context of English learning and spiritual growth. One fragment went deep in my heart and reverberated like an echo: "there's no condemnation in the Lord". I, as a sinner, can only hope for the mercy of God upon everything. Were it not for His tender love, I could have not forgiven others, nor could I have forgiven myself. This doesn't mean that from now on I'm alright in everything, I still do have some problems in my life, but I'm going to rely all on Him, even when it comes to my weaknesses. 
Despite being absent from our meeting, Ruth has something to share about question 5 in our lesson: My answer is we are always have bad mood and very easy angry to each other. Why I want forgive my family when they hurt me. God he's words is truth. When i don't forgive some one like i am not forgive my self. when we have make mistake. God always give me chance. So i must forgive hurt me people. Forgive mean is "For we are sinner GIVE hurt you people love and GIVE each other chance to fix our relationship.
Perhaps you guys also have something of your own to share; if so, just put it forward on FB group for all to see.
Today's attendees were Robert, Jill, Steven, and Cliff. We'll keep watch on those who are not showing up, and let's pray for one another so that everyone will be close together even in the distance.
By the way, next Sunday will be Thanksgiving, which will take up the whole morning for church activity. Therefore, we'll STOP for a time only to see each other again on 12/1 at the YEC. But I hope that you can show up at the church in spite that we're not meeting for the bible study. It's my regret not being able to sit next to you during the mandarin worship. Maybe we can sit closer and help the newcomers out with the bible verses.
On 12/1 we'll kick start with lesson 7, so get ready for the vocabularies in red as well as the text. See you on then, bye.

YEC English bible study--11/10 meeting diary

Hi everyone,

Today we've been through lesson 6, questions 1-4. However, we're leaving questions 5-6 for next time cuz those are more based on personal opinions rather than biblical facts. By the way, next time we're watching a video on the testimony of a former porn star who was saved by Jesus. We talked a little bit of that today in our meeting, and you definitely can't pass it up. It'll be a 40 min. video, without subtitles, and all English of course. I'll guarantee a shocking yet touching feeling after you see it. Perhaps we'll never go through the same adversities and calamities she had; however, in some ways like I said today, we much or less compare to the filthiest and most pathetic people we can imagine. So if you happen to be in a similar situation, please never give up on yourself, neither do you give up on God, the Lord, for there will always be a purpose for your and everyone's life in Jesus. He'll do awesome things on you, and those will certainly be way beyond your imagination.

Today's attendees were Paul, Ian, Man-mei, Steven, Ruth and Cliff (if I missed anyone please do let me know). I hope more people show up next time to share the wonderful message conveyed by the testimony. And by the way, since the film will be kind of long, try to make it there on time so as not to miss anything. May God be with you all!

YEC bible study--11/3 meeting

大家好,我們今天把第六課的文章全部討論完畢.對我們來說看起來只要幾分鐘的故事,Joseph來說是一輩子的生活經.很難想像如果我們就是故事中的主角,我們應該會用什麼樣的態度來看待上帝. Joseph的感受一定是很難形容的,在患難中度日如年.儘管這樣,他還是沒有失去信心.或許這就是我們在信心上要去學習的功課.著算已經成為基督徒了,人生還是有可能遇到一些苦難.我相信在看起來很平凡的外表之下,每個人或多或少都有一些大大小小的難題.這時候,我們今天看到的故事不就是一個最好的楷模,讓我們每個人有跡可循嗎? 要練出一身好功夫真不容易,還好身為個基督徒我們最上面有一個天父可以來交託和依靠,其他的只剩下柔軟的心和順福的態度.願上帝親自添加力量給大家,讓你的人生和Joseph一樣不只有走在他的道路上也能榮耀他的名.

今天出席的同學們有:Robert, Steven, Jill, Man-mei, Paul, Ian, Cliff, Ching, Birdy.不過RuthFB告訴我他今天有事情下次才會出現. Jamie要忙到明年,2014/1/1以後才會出現.

不管是有沒有來的,求上帝帶領大家的道路並且拓寬我們的疆界.
