Receiving Holy Spirit Twice?

I was following the Bible Reading schedule and I found an interesting point on Holy Spirit. When did the disciples receive tht Holy Spirit? How different are the two "holy spirits"?

[So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."]
And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (John 20:22)

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. (Acts 2:4)

Father's day questions

Someone curiously asked me: Why the group of the fathers preformed choir on Father's day? Should they be rest and enjoy other people singing to them? My answers, two points:

1. It shows fathers serves and entertains their families all times
2. The fathers are singing to the Father up above

Evolution vs. Creationism 2

Actually I finished the whole blog from the start. I have several hundred more words, putting together the arguments and examples. But my arguments could be a bit extreme which challenge some common understanding of the Bible. So, I decide not to post it. But anyway, my conclusion is to give some breathing room for the study of Evolution; let the scientist do their research. My opinion anyway.

Evolution vs. Creationism

I read this news, saying 25% of American believe both evolution & creationism. This news makes me think.

It seems to be an untold expectation for every Christian: if you believe in Bible, you must not believe in Evolution. The reason: Bible says very clearly all lives are created by God, but not evolved by themselves.

This seems to be a fair enough argument. As an engineer, I do see many faults in Evolution theory. One killer weakness: the theory can not be verified by experiment. So people can only derive the "fact", but can not 100% prove it. This does not up to the standard of any strict science.

On the other hand, I have a relatively rebel-thinking: it may be still a good idea to let people continue the study of Evolution, even though eventually it may be proved incorrect. Evolution is a study that helps so much in modern medical advance. It also helps to explain common relationship between animal and human, fulling people's curiosity. Even though its fundamental may be flawed, for engineering perspective, it works!

我的心你要稱頌耶和華

我的心，你要稱頌耶和華，不可忘記祂的恩惠。
祂赦免你一切過犯罪孽，醫治你疾病復原。
我的心，你要稱頌耶和華，不可忘記祂的恩惠。
祂以仁愛慈悲為你冠冕，為受屈的人伸冤。
天離地有何等的高，祂的慈愛也可等的深，
東離西有多麼的遠，祂使我的過犯也離我多遠，
耶和華有憐憫的愛，且有豐盛無盡的恩典，
從亙古直到永遠，耶和華祂是我的神。

父親節獻詩

Now I understand why Felix uploads choir music in this blog, because it is my turn this time.

[1] <全能父上帝>
全能父上帝，晝夜掌管天地萬邦。
全能父上帝，晝夜掌管天地一切。
萬國也讚美主，光輝普照在世間；
我要敬拜祂，屈膝稱讚上帝恩。
要讓全地歡騰榮耀主，國度全屬祢。



[2] <祢真偉大. How Great Thou Art!>
主啊我神﹗我每逢舉目觀看，祢手所造一切奇妙大工；
看見星宿，又聽到隆隆雷聲，祢的大工，遍滿了宇宙中。
我靈歌唱，讚美救主我神：祢真偉大，何等偉大 (2)。
當我想到 神竟願差他兒子，降世捨命，我幾乎不領會；
主在十架，甘願背我的重擔，流血捨身，為要赦免我罪。
我靈歌唱，讚美救主我神：祢真偉大，何等偉大 (2)。



[3] <主凡事引導. All the Way My Saviour Leads Me>
救世主凡事引導我，我何需別有所求，
主愛憐我何用多疑，我一生蒙主眷佑，
我憑信在主裡安居，享天上平安喜樂，
我深知無論遇何事，主為我安排穩妥 (2)。
