Pure Chinese


During one of my family gatherings, we asked a cousin of mine who is 10 years old if he wanted to go to church for a party. His reply was "My daddy say that we are pure chinese. If we go to church then we are no longer pure chinese.".

We do not know how to respond. Whether to laugh or to cry. But if you think about the reality of it. Our churches today, is not cultural. A lot of our ideas and the way we run church is exactly a copy of how the westerners run church. From the way we are suppose to dress to the style we present the gospel. Not that there is anything wrong in it but where is our culture that God has given us? God is not an American. A friend was commenting, "Let's serve Teh Tarik and roti canai for communion".

Apple tree?

Someone sent me this through e-mail. i found it very cute. Amazed actually at how people could come up with all sorts of things. Basically, it is about "What tree are you." Your birthday corresponds to a type of tree and each tree has its own meaning. I am an Apple tree and this is what it says.....

Apple Tree (the Love)... Quiet and shy at times (This is so true), Lots of charm, appeal and attraction (So very true too :P), Pleasant attitude (What can I say), Flirtatious smile, adventurous, sensitive, loyal in love, wants to love and be loved (Who doesn't), faithful and tender partner, very generous, many talents, loves children, needs affectionate partner (Sounds like I am putting up an ad for myself. Haha. Anyone care to apply?)
