Christian Opinion on the Best Christmas Gift Ideas in Hong Kong

When I look at the calendar on my desk, I know it is October 21st today.Suddenly, something flash in my mind and telling me that some great celebration of the year is coming soon. Christmas is coming and as a Christian , I am excited for this great celebration and looking forward to receive a gift from my friends and relatives. But within a few second, another message comes up in my mind: What will be your Christmas gifts to your friends and relatives? Good question for myself! I then search over google.com immediately and find out some gift ideas from an About.com article. The article show me the top 10 gift ideas for my Christian friends and relatives. I will only mention the top 5 in here: A Bible, a worship or music CD or DVD, a Christian book, an audio book club subscription, a Christian movie or DVD. These are all great gifts idea but another new issue pop up within me. It will be a good idea to buy a gift for just one friend but since I have many friends and relatives, it is going to be difficult to buy a Christmas gift for everyone. I don't have that kind of money anyway. Facing the reality that some of my friends and relatives aren't even Christians (at least for this moment) .What is the best gift idea for everyone in Christmas season then? Ah ha....! I have come up with some solution for this question. Let me explain:



1. To help someone with my house

Some of my friends and relatives are living alone. Loneliness is the problem that some of my friends and relatives will face during the Christmas holidays. I can invite them to my house and plan for a great fun night for them.(Don't think that it is easy to arrange for a meeting like this in Hong Kong as what people do in North America. It is difficult in Hong Kong because the houses we have in this place are usually much smaller than what people have in North America. It is not a normal experience for people to celebrate Christmas together in a house setting in this city.) That will be a great idea for all the people to overcome their loneliness by relating to each others in the meeting.( At least for one night).By the end of the night, I will arrange for a free draw or a gift exchange for everyone who will bring in their unique Christmas gift. That will be one of the best Christmas gift for everyone and save my time and headache on hunting for different gifts in the shopping mall. One gift is enough. For the meeting , I can ask some people to help and I am willing to pay for the food as a host. Of course, it is a day to share my testimony of how God has blessed me through the year and I will definitely introduce Jesus to everyone during the meeting. As a Christian, that will be my best gift to all my friends and relatives in Christmas time. It is because Jesus is a friend who will always be near and will never leave us alone.
2. To care someone with my visit

There are some people in the community who need special greeting and caring during the Christmas season. Especially the elderly people who are living in an elderly caring home in Hong Kong, Many of them are underprivileged group and living as a single and lonely resident in the elderly caring home. (people who has no relatives to take care of them).I can arrange for a visit to this kind of places and sing a Christmas song with my guitar as an entertainment to them. Not just that, I can also encourage more people to go with me to talk and listen to the feeling of the elderly. One problem that many elderly are facing in the caring home in Hong Kong : they have nobody to talk to and nobody wants to listen to their feeling. Living in a place with a weak body and feeling of isolation and loneliness, the elderly are full of sadness within their own heart. Our visit will surely give them some hope in this world that at least somebody still cares. That will be a best gift idea for the elderly. Caring is what Christian or anyone with compassion should do in Christmas time and it will be another best gift to someone in Hong Kong.
3. To love someone with my hug

It is very difficult to receive a hug from someone in Hong Kong because of our Chinese culture. It is because we could hardly get a hug from our parents as a child, nor can the children get a chance to hear their parents saying " I love you" to them. If you want to hug someone in Hong Kong, you have better know that person really well. Otherwise, you will be in great trouble. Is there any way to express our love by giving a hug to people in Hong Kong during Christmas time? Yes, I can start by doing it to the children who are willing to receive it all the times (the children of my friends and relatives). They are the people who will love my hug all the times. I can also hug those friends and relatives who may not reject me if I know them well. Perhaps my parents will be a good choice since they are the one I suppose to love first. Unfortunately, my parents are not in this world anymore. Otherwise, I will definitely give them more hugs than anybody in this world .I think that will be another best gift idea that a Christian can give in Hong Kong.
Christmas is a season of help, care and love. We can see all this through the birth of Jesus. As the Bible saying "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believe in Him , shall never die but have everlasting life.(John 3:16)": We have already receive the best gifts from God, namely His only son.: Jesus. I want to send this best gift idea to everyone from Hong Kong to the whole world right now. Here you go......and catch your gift ! Merry Christmas!

Christian Travel Experience from Hong Kong to Jesus

Hong Kong

Do you remember your first travel experience in your life? Yes, I do remember. It was the summer of my 15 years of age. I went with all my high school classmates to a beach where it was far away from the city area. It was fun because it was the first camping experience for all of us. We have about 8 boys and no parents were with us. We have experienced the freedom that we never had before. We carried heavy stuffs such as cooking pan, the tents, toilet paper, canned food, guitar, many large bottles of water, etc. It took us 2 hours to climb over a mountain and reach to the top. Then walk all the way down to a beach from the mountain top. The sun was hot in the sky because it was sometimes in the afternoon by the time we arrived to the beach. We spent three days in one of the most beautiful beach in Hong Kong. What have we done? We cooked and ate our food. We danced around the fire. We enjoyed the starry sky and the soft voice of the wave. We were extremely tired when we go home. One of the most unforgettable experience to me was I got heavy sun burn all over my body because we didn't even know the importance of sun oil at that time. This was my first travel experience or you can say that it was only a camp experience. But for a group of teenagers who got no cars, it was surely a great travel memory. That was 1975.Oops!.....You will probably get to know my age by now. Whooo.....HeHeHe......... When I grew older, I travelled by plane for the first time of my life. I was in a Canadian Pacific Airline jumbo 747 and the trip was a long trip. Do you consider 24 hours a long flight? I think we all do and it was a really tired experience for me. Although the plane has stopped for a while in different countries for its refill, but it was only for not more than two hours in each stop. Finally, I was in Ottawa, Ontario of Canada.

Canada (Ottawa)
Wow... everything was so different from Hong Kong. How do you like the maple leafs from the capital city of Canada. Especially in each September when the maple leafs started to turn their color from green to red, and later on from red to yellow. It was so amazing!Both of the weather and the people in Ottawa were nice according to my experience. By the end of each November to early December, most of the people enjoyed to see the first snow fall. Ottawa was a nice and quiet city when compare to the large city such as Toronto and Montreal but it wasn't boring at all. If you are a tourist, you probably will enjoy your time in the Parliament Hill. I think you can still watch the change of the parliament guard during the summer time or visit to the museums are all great experiences that you don't want to miss it. Take a walk in the nice Ottawa Canel besides the University Of Ottawa, You will enjoy this romantic walk with your love one or even with your puppy. Ottawa is surely a place worthy for a traveller to spend a short period of time to visit .It is not a big city as I have mentioned before and that's why 1-3 days will be enough for a traveller to stay.

Malaysia
Many years passed by. I have another opportunity to travel to Malaysia.I went to few places in this country which I don't even remember their names by now. But I do remember my visit to Kuala Lumpur (The Capital city of Malaysia) and Kota KIinabalu (a city In East Malaysia). Kuala Lumpur was famous for its own food and of cause some tourist wanted to try Duran (a special fruit in South East Asia) but some couldn't even stand next to it .(the smell is like perfume to some but to others, the smell is too strong) When compare to Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu has less noise.This is a place where you can find lots of nice hotel and resort along different beaches. The weather was nice and it was good for swim and dive to many tourist. One of the wonder and the glory of this place was (and still is) its mountain.

The highest mountain of East Asia ,namely Mt. Kinabalu is in this city. I've been there for a couple of times but I think I like the beach more. Because it will take many hours to reach the mountain from the downtown area of the city. Singapore was another travel experience for me. The food in this country was excellent (and still it is). Perhaps that's why I've been to this country for 5 times if my memory is correct. You can eat all different kinds of food from South East Asia in this country(just like Malaysia).This country is not as big as the large city. In fact it is really small when compare to the large city such as Vancouver or New York. That's why, the tourists could easily reach different part of the city by subway. The people were nice and the hotels were good. Orchard Road, Santosa Island and the Zoo was a good place to visit. I know they have more attraction by now but I am talking about my past experience with this country.

New Zealand
I love New Zealand more than any country that I have visited before. Why? Perhaps I have stayed in Hong Kong for a long time. I worked so hard in the past few years and feel tired of my own people. I prefer to see people from the other continent. I went to New Zealand to breathe in the fresh air because the pollution in Hong Kong is terrible enough. I like the Sky Tower in Aukland and the steak in a famous steakhouse ( I forgot the name)as well.Chasing the dolphins with a tour boat and seeing the penguins swim in a funny way. Oh! How can I forget all these beautiful memory.I like my visit to the Gondola of Christ Church in the Southern Island and my encounter with the lamb in the zoo as well. Yes, the lambs remind me of someone I have known for I long time. Jesus is the Lamb of God and I won't forget Him even when I am travel to another country.

Enjoy your Trip
After many years of travels, I do have some feeling that I want to share with every traveller : We are all a traveller of this life. Perhaps you've been travel with different purposes. Some may travel for a vacation and some may travel beacuse of business. Some may travel with tears and sorrow. Some may travel with happiness. But going from one place to another is a tired experience. Think of all the burden with your luggage. The burden of your restless problems that your are still carrying deep inside of your mind during the journey from your home town. It is tired to face all this alone. I think we need a partner who will be with you alone with your trips all the times. Someone who will always listen to you and won't give you a hard time. Someone who knows when to be quiet with you and when to speak with you. I think we all need a companion like this in the rest of our journey. I think I have found one. Jesus, the son of God. MY saviour and my friend (He called all His disciples His friends in The Bible).Jesus said " Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light ."(Matthew 11:28-30)

If you are still a traveller of your life journey and don't know where to turn. and how to get rest in your soul. IF you are still carrying heavy burden in your heart no matter where you travel. You can invite Jesus to be your saviour and your friend for the rest of your journey in life right now. He will definitely response to your invitation right at this moment and He will never leave you and you will not be a lonely traveller in this life anymore. I am still travelling like you do. But one thing I know that all my travel in this life will someday come to an end. I am sure I will be with the Lord Jesus as What the Bible has promised to all the believers. Where do you want your new journey begins after the end of your life journey. I hope you will begin with God when your travel is over. Invite Jesus to come in to your heart right now and start to enjoy your travel in the rest of your life with the best tour guild and companion in this world. He will always be with you. ENJOY YOUR TRIP.

Christian Opinion on How to Build Up a Better Family Relationship

There are different kinds of relationship in our life. We have to deal with all these relationship everyday. Youcan deal with all these relationship with your own standard or you can choose the standard of God when facing problems in your relationship. Let's take a look at what the Bible says about our family and consider this Christian opinion on how to build up a better family relationship.

1. Family of Love

When God first created human being. He created Adam and Eve. These two people formed the first family of all mankind. Later on, They started to have their own children and it was never easy for them to handle their family relationship by themselves. Look at how Adam had blamed Eve for his own sin and how he wanted to escape from his own responsibility after his fall, you then will understand the tension from this family. When Adam and Eve had their own children,things had became more complicated .Cain had murdered his own brother Abel and since then, all mankind started to experience more conflict and sadness in their family communication.(Gen.4 :1-8)All these problems arose from human ignorance of God's word and God's standard of living. Therefore, the solution to any family issue has to begin with a decision in returning to God's word. When dealing with family relationship, love is always the best medicine to begin with. It is hard for anybody to communicate with their own family members if love is not exists in a relationship. Thts is the reason why Jesus emphasized on love when teaching about the essence of the Law. (Matt.22 : 35-38) For without love, peolple will remain self centered and will not see things from other's perspective. In fact, The Bible always emphasized on the unity and harmony of family (Eph 6:1-4)and the importance of loving it's own members(Eph 5:22-25).With God's word,we will find the exit for family problems .

2. Family of Communication

There are many busy people in this world who work for long hours but with less rest. These people never
spend enough time at home and nor will they have time to play with their children. They don't really spend
their times to communicate with their children and spouse. An interesting survey in Asia indicated that 2
things that an Asian man will do the most when he is at home : sleep and watch TV. No wonder many
teenages from Asia won't be able to have a positive father figure at home, because their fathers never talk to
them or listen to how they feel. Whatever relationship we are talking about today, communication process,
understanding and support to our family members will hardly exist. The Bible states that there is a time for
everything (Ecc 3 : 1-11) ,so why not take some times to build up your family relationship at least experience
positive change in your family after a short periods of time.

Conclusion : Family is a gift from God and we all have to treasure such a gift. If you can protect your family with love and communication, You are doing God's will and the Satanic forces will have less chance
to attack your family. On the other hand, you will experience more blessing from God.

Christian Opinion on Effective Prayer According to the Bible

It is a gift from God that Christians can pray and communicate with Him. One of the questions that many Christians will ask is that: how can my prayer be effective? That means how can prayer reach the throne of God and receive an answer. In fact, there are some keys for effective prayer according to the Bible. The following 5 keys are important for prayer to be effective.




1. Pray with faith


Anyone who has attended a Sunday school class or Bible study on prayer before, will understand that faith is important to prayer. For the Bible say that "and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him." (Heb 11:6). Faith always need to be excerised and tested by trial, otherwise our faith will always remian in an immature level. We can pray out loud in the church and procliam that we believe in God's healing but when it comes to praying for a sick person to receive complete healing right in front of us; it will be a different story.We are all afriad of what will happen if the sick person cannot be healed immediately.That is the reason why many Christians will choose to pray the most secure prayer in moment like this. Christians would probably say the following in a prayer : "Lord, heal this person if it is your will!" Prayer like this requires no faith at all and no wonder healing will never take place with prayer like this. Therefore, the first step for our effective prayer is :to believe that our prayer is already praying according to the will of God and expecting something will happen after our prayer. That's the first tip to effective prayer. In order to have our prayer answered by God,we have to believe in what we are praying about.


2. Pray according to the Bible


The Bible consists of all the great promises of God and we can be sure that God will answer prayer according to His words. For this reason, it is important to understand the promises of God by doing a search with your Bible tool.For example, we can search under the promises of God's healing on the internet and find out all the promises of healing in the Bible. Then we can pray according to all these promises and believe that God will perform healing miracles right at the moment according to His promises. You probably will ask that "what, if nothing happen and nobody gets heal ?" It is our responsibility to believe in God's word and pray according to His promises. God is the one who will responsible for the timing of fulfillment of His promises. We do our part and God does His part. There are still many things we have to admit that we don't fully understand the reasons for all the unanswered prayer. We don't give order to God with our prayer but to express our obedience to His sovereignty. However, we know that when we pray according to His promises, we can be certain that we are praying according to His will.


3. Pray with one another


You can pray alone if you want to. There is nothing wrong to have a quiet time and communicate with God alone. But when you want to express your urgency and request God to answer your prayer quickly, it is better to invite other people to pray with you together. For the Bible say that : "Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven (Matt. 18:19 )" Prayer in agreement with one another is a key for effective prayer and it is powerful according to the Bible. We are not fighting with the flesh according to Ephesians 6 in the Bible. We are fighting a spiritual battle against the evil forces. We have to win the battle together with other Christians. Therefore, be sure you will find somebody to pray with you when facing a problem.


4. Pray without ceasing


"Pray without ceasing" can be found in Thessalonians 5:17 in the Bible. It is another key for effective prayer. Ed Silvoso, who is a man of prayer and greatly used by God in the revival of Argentine once mention an illustration on prayer. He said that prayer is like a man holding a large hammer to hit a wall .The wall will remain the same until the man keep hitting at the wall to its 96 times, a crack then begins to appear. More cracks begin to show by the time the man hits the wall to its 98 times. When He hits the wall at its 99 times, the wall has cracks in everywhere. Finally, when the man hits the wall at its 100 times, the whole wall will fall down and break into pieces. That is why we should pray without ceasing. Ed Silvoso is telling the truth in prayer. Sometimes, we give up too early in our prayer, therefore we can never see any result in our prayer life. Keep this in mind, then you will be surprised by the effectiveness of your prayer in a new way.


5. Pray with fasting


Although many people have their prayer answered through fasting, it is never a way to force God to do anything according to our will.
