Fung Kit-ying Master of Divinity Course 1. Belief in the Lord, Growth and Service When I was in primary school, I followed my teacher to Tai Kok Tsui Baptist Church and felt that the people in the church were very friendly. After I decided to believe in the Lord in middle school, I returned to the "Corner Baptism". At first, my mother opposed me, which made the church life unstable, and then stopped. In 1982, I felt very disappointed due to emotional problems and completely lost faith in people. However, I remembered that God’s love is eternal and I wanted to return to the embrace of the Lord. I was worried about my mother’s opposition, so I silently prayed to God to open a way, and promised Him: “If You lead me back to the church, I am willing to serve You in the church.”…

Visiting Preacher Luo Cuishan After completing the Master of Divinity program in 2001, alumnus Luo Cuishan began to serve in Tai Po Baptist Church. Having been in the factory for nearly five years, she has experienced the trepidation of starting out and the joy of growing up with her brothers and sisters in the sheepfold. On the road of a preacher, there will never be without high mountains and low valleys, and there will never be without the repeated warnings of God the Father. It was these exhortations and teachings that allowed her to move forward and live a fulfilling five years...

Interview with Rev. Ip King-tak. Alumnus Ip King-tak serves as a voluntary internship supervisor in our college and just returned to school last month to deliver a special lecture. He has been on the road to ministry for more than 20 years. In 1984, when he was about to complete the Master of Divinity program at the Baptist College, he had already started working as the Liaison Officer for Christian Student Activities in the Chaplaincy Office of Hong Kong Baptist College. Three years later, he applied for a leave of absence and went to the United States to study for a master's degree in theology. One year after graduation, he continued to study in the UK. Unexpectedly, after obtaining his doctorate there, he would return to this institution to teach. He also did not expect that after more than ten years of trouble-free teaching career, God would lead him back to his original campus pastoral office last year─this time. , but he became a school chaplain. This time, he faced challenges he had never encountered before...

Interview with Pastor Liu Fuquan Alumnus Liu Fuquan obtained a diploma in Bible studies in 1953 and was the second graduate of this college. Pastor Liu, who is now seventy-six years old, still often preaches on the pulpit with a loud voice, and still serves as a freelance evangelist in more than ten churches. He was only 23 years old when he graduated. From the 1950s, when the 20th century was a bit old and faded, he walked step by step into the era of information technology explosion in the 21st century. What he followed step by step was a journey of more than 50 years. A path of service clothed with the Lord’s grace. ...

This issue of the college newsletter features interviews with three alumni—one senior, one middle-aged, and one young—who share their experiences and insights into their lives of service. Their stories after graduation remind us that despite the changing times, the Lord's grace remains constant—His grace is perfected in the weaknesses of His servants, and His provision is always just right. ...

梅智理（Jerry E. Moye） 舊約及靈修學教授 Dr. Jerry Moye (Professor of Old Testament and Spirituality) 　　作為傳道人，也作為教授聖經和神學的老師，我們面對一個必然遇上的難題，也是一個很好的難題，就是我們必須來回於理論性的學術研究和知識的實際應用之間。這兩方面是相輔相成的。筆者作為聖經教師、顧問牧師兼傳道人，曾嘗試把聖經研究與釋經的問題和靈修學貫串起來，從中得到不少幫助。我們一方面注重正確的釋經法，防止濫用信仰群體這件基本工具，另一方面也注重一種健全而充實的靈修學，好讓我們對神更加敬畏，為人正直不阿。...

黃福光 舊約副教授 Dr. Wong Fook Kong (Assistant Professor of Old Testament) 　　倫理學本質上是一門跨學科的科目。舉個例子，在討論墮胎這個議題時，除了要對哲學、社會學及聖經的教訓有足夠知識，還要對懷孕和生產有一定的認識。同樣，在探討基因治療的一些議題時，除了要對入手的學科有所認識，還必須認識所涉及的各樣科學。舊約倫理學是倫理學的一個範疇，它探討舊約的價值觀、假定和實踐，察看它們與今天人們所面對的議題有何關聯。「舊約倫理學」這名稱並不意味要忽略其他學科，它只是意味要從舊約聖經的觀點去討論當今的議題。在學術上，這樣探討倫理會有「弄錯時代」的毛病，因為舊約時代與現今的時代本來就不可以比較。不過，舊約倫理學的存在和實踐的合法性乃是神學性的：神的話語能超越時間、文化和地域。...

陳之虎 道學碩士課程一年級 Chan Chi-fu (Master of Divinity Program) 　　《標竿人生》這書第一段的反省是：生命的重心不在於你！ 　　信主二十多年，信仰告訴我：生命的重心不在於個人的成就或金錢，而在於上帝的心意，由祂來差遣，完成祂要在我生命中成就的事情。上帝對每一個信徒都有獨特的心意和計劃，因此，每一個信徒都應該認真尋索，仔細思考上帝在他生命中的安排和帶領。這非一時一刻的領受，而是回顧整個生命路程，用心去反思和詮釋，從而明白祂至善的美意。...
