The Discipline of Singing and the Discipline of Spirituality

Associate Professor of Church Music Wen Zhanglian I once heard someone say loudly: "In what era are there still people participating in choirs, doing vocal exercises and other time-wasting things?" I feel very sad for this view! The training that believers receive in the choir is not only an improvement in singing skills, but also an exercise in service mentality and even the entire spiritual life. It can help believers strengthen their faith and inspire them to be sincere and practical followers of Christ! I have been teaching singing for more than thirty years. During this period, I have accumulated some teaching experiences, which triggered my reflection on seeking spiritual life. I have found that the practice of singing is very similar to the practice of spirituality (the...

The Foundation and Nature of Church Unity

Michael McKee, Assistant Professor of New Testament Disputes and discord are common problems in the church. If they occur in church leadership--such as among pastors and deacons--they often lead to church divisions. Recently at a seminary in Sydney, an elderly teacher brought out the seriousness of this problem in a humorous way. He said: "On average, the church will suffer a disaster (he was referring to church schism) every ten years. If you The church has spent the past nine years peacefully, but you must be careful now.”…

The Notebook

The day that Au Ching Yan graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies... God decided to call her for the first time when she was still in primary school. As He expected, she responded. Being young and ignorant, she did not understand the meaning of this response, so she would not follow up. He alone recorded it in the book...and He followed it up. ...

Midway: A Life to be Hammered into Shape

Midway, a graduate of Chen Zhihu's Master of Taoism, feels that he has not yet received his graduation certificate! Beyond the completion of classroom studies, what marks the “completion” of a theology graduate? As a missionary worker, is there really such a thing as "finished" and "unfinished"? Biblical study and theological thinking in theological education still need to be practiced and verified in the church’s preaching and teaching; the effectiveness of pastoral care still needs to be tested by time and whether you can help brothers and sisters in different situations in their lives. Show personal care during encounters. Whether you are a competent missionary worker who is suitable for the Lord’s use, no one can answer you at this moment. It depends on your future efforts and loyalty. A lot of knowledge, study, thoughts, and understandings still need time to settle and comprehend. So what does "graduation" mean in a theological career? ...

On Achieving Our Greatest Aspirations

Sam Tsang (Associate Professor of New Testament) As I write this, I'm packing my bags to move to Hong Kong. Although busy, these days are also a time for reflection. I'm about to leave a country I love and where I've lived for thirty-six years, and return to my birthplace. Recently, in preparation for my second book on biblical interpretation, I've been reading a wide range of texts, including those on postmodernism, poststructuralism, pragmatism, and critical realism...
