On Faith:
A quote from a podcast called Catalyst Space on leadersthip training in the Western church today:
“In the American church the church will allow you to prostitute youself if you choose to, they will hire you based on your talent, overlooking all of your character and then when you crash they’ll pretend they never saw the signs. We need to run as fast as your character is deepening, and not as fast as our talent is expanding. When we hire from other churches and go after talent form other place and staff based on resume, we many times circumvent and undercut the process that Jesus Christ implemented in the body of Christ. Many of us have gone from high school to college to seminary, and because of our professional degree we’ve gotten a job in professional ministry and we have never paid the hard pirce of walking with Christ and developing the kind of character that is able to face the spiritual warfare and human conflict that leadership requires.” - Erwin McManus
关于世界杯 On the World Cup:
中国人非常爱看世界杯 （中国的足球其实听懒的。。）。 昨晚过了午夜能听到很多人喊叫，可能是捷克队跟美国队的比赛。 我相信五点早晨也有人大叫可我好几个小时前已经睡了。
China has gone World Cup crazy. I heard screams after midnight after a near miss of what I believe was the Czech-USA match. I’m sure there were more screams by 5am in the morning when some of my friends ended up going to bed after a productive evening of watching the 3 matches of the day, but I was sound asleep many hours before then.
