A thankful statement to John Yo from Ssu Chang Li elementary school's principal  for the two gender classes  Student: "Dear teacher John Yo, thank you for sparing your time teaching us. Although we are naughty and noisy, you still correct us mildly. We all love to attend your classes, they are not only relaxing but also exciting. Thank your son is willing to take the class with us as well. Thank you! 1 John 5-10 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.  6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.  8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to f

「到底掃墓要不要去？當然要，我們要主動參與絕不規避」 "Do we go to sweep tombs? Of course, we can participate in it actively without avoiding it." 華人有清明祭祖的習俗  Chinese people have the custom to worship ancestors 擺食物祭牲祈求祖先回來食用，要燒冥紙以使他在陰間有錢花用，燒香以取悅過世的祖先，求告祖先能因此庇護後代子孫，所以這些祭祖的意識和活動，是和祖先的亡靈來往溝通，並服事他們，對他們有所求告。這就已經成為敬拜偶像的活動了， "Eat the food worshiped the ancestors, burn ghost money for the dead to use in the underworld, place the incenses on the tombs to please the ancestors and pray for their protection and blessing to the descendants" are all for communicating, serving and invoking the ancestors. All above have been the activities of worshiping idols. 基督徒當然不能犯拜偶像的罪。 燒香、燒紙、擺設食物或物品都不相宜，以免引起別人的誤會而使別人落入拜偶像的罪! Of course Christians can't sin by worshiping idols. We are not supposed to burn incenses, ghost money or place foods or goods to worship ancestors, for fear that we may mislead others to commit the sin of worshiping idols! 傳統的祭祖掃墓儀式中參雜許多異教內容。好比燒紙錢、燒香、拜土地公等，這些基督徒都不便參與。但若不參與掃墓，在親族眼中就成了

復活節本來是外邦人拜「春天女神（ Eastre 或 Esteral ）」的節日。但後來，變成了天主教及基督教的節日，英文的Easter便是從這女神的 名字過來。本來是外邦人拜偶像的日子。 今天基督的教會是每逢七日的第一日記念主(林前 11:25) ,不是一年只有一次記念主的死(所謂的受難日),或是一年只有兩次領主餐,就是所謂復 活節及聖誕節兩次而已.主的教會是每個主日領受主餐(徒20:7)! Easter Date is originally for worshiping "Spring Goddess (Eastre or Esteral)". But afterward, it has become a date of Catholic and Christianity.  The English word "Easter" is just from the name of goddess. So it was a date for gentiles to worship an idol.  Today Christian Church worships God on the first day of every seven days (1 Corin. 11:25), it not only remembers God's death (the Crucified date)  to have Lord's Supper once or twice a year. Lord's Church holds Lord's Supper   every Sunday (Acts 20:7), not only on Easter and Christmas! 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me. Acts 20:7 And on the first day
