Dot of the World

I am just a dot of this world, nothing more than a dot. However, in the eyes of God, I am a precious dot. 'Dream, Observe and Think' made up the DOT Philosophy.

The old culture is dying?

'When the forms of an old culture are dying, the new culture is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure.’
- Rudolph Bahro (A German ecologist)

The modern world has passed away; and the post-modernity is leading the world. This world seem to be in a very paradoxial situation. It's brand- new era, but it's chaotic. It's full of creativity, but it appeared to be far from God. Where are we going to? Which hero we are waiting for?

Or the world is waiting for 'a few people who are not afraid to be insecure' to establish a new order to this world?

Here are two very good articles (click the links):

The Emerging Church: A Pig in Lipstick?
'...'Where is this emerging church? How long do we have to wait before there's a sign? Or are we just too busy kicking the existing church to death?'....'It is arrogant to think we have the right to "transition" the church', said Mark Pierson. The problem is that 'too often we have simply changed the church by putting lipstick on the pig'. .... Mark suggests that the church has spent too much time and effort in adopting 'packages from the USA' in a simplistic attempt to re-invent itself....'

Jacques derrida - positively deconstructed
'Justice, said derrida, cannot be deconstructed -- is this not the way of the gospel?'

每代都有每一代的需要和問題, 我們太多懷緬過去 (美化歷史),也太多夢想完全的將來(我稱之為完美天國觀)...
如果教會可以勇敢承認世代在不停轉變, 不能靠人的努力來成就什麼,只能仰望上主, 我們信徒的生活就更能「活在當下」!!!

我的意思正是:無論人做多少,若不是耶和華看守城池,看守的人都枉然警醒。
相信自己不能成就什麼,不是不去作工的藉口,反而是更多承認人的限制,更多仰望上主的恩典。
工仍是要作,但如果我們能做到,現在活著的不再是我,那又怎有「我」成就些什麼呢.
