Worship and Art: The Quest and Commitment of the Edna Wong Christian Worship and Arts Education Centre

Sanson Lau Honorary Director of Edna Wong Christian Worship and Arts Education Centre Visiting Lecturer Holistic Worship The Christian Church was established by the Lord to manifest His truth, goodness and beauty. When believers receive the Lord's grace, words, salvation and calling, they respond to Him through prayer, praise, preaching and testimony. This is "worship" of the Lord. Augustine said that beauty is the manifestation of truth. Since God is the true entity, the source of goodness, and the truth of beauty, whether we can shine in the process of worshipping Him, reflect His divinity, and describe His deeds is the evidence of whether we truly serve Him (the Bible mentions "service" as the worship, worship, rituals, actions... that people make toward God). ...

Rekindle My First Aspiration

Kuan-wa Wong (M.Div. 1) Searching for the meaning of life I was born into a traditional family and my family “deeded” me to the God of Land when I was young. My parents were very strict with me. When I was in elementary school, I had a bad temper and low self-esteem. I did a lot of negative things, such as running away from home, smoking, drinking, swearing, self-harming, and bullying classmates. In the eyes of my teachers, I was a problem child. When I was in fifth and sixth grade, I often asked myself, "What is the meaning of my life?" No matter how successful I am in the future, even if I become the richest man in the world, I can't take anything with me when I die. I even thought that I couldn't choose how I came into this world, but I could choose when to leave. ...
