The Treasure is in your Hands

“He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”” (Revelation‬ ‭22:10-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

People have free will, and they will choose what they want to.

It is not your job to convince people that they should believe in Jesus. God did not send us to do sales for His kingdom.

Your privilege is to announce the Good News of Jesus Christ, and let the Holy Spirit do the persuading in the hearers’ hearts.

Those who will believe at this point in time will believe. Those who won’t, won’t. Simple as that!

Jesus likened preaching the Gospel to catching fishes. If you toss your net in for a catch, and you draw it up after, will you care about the fishes inside the net, or will you fret about those who swam away?

If you’re like me, you will probably be happy about the fishes you caught, and ignore those that got away.

“When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.” Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.” When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.” (Luke‬ ‭5:4-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Want to catch more fishes? Toss more nets whenever the Holy Spirit leads you to let your net down for a catch. He can show you the right place and right time to sow the Gospel in a person’s heart.

A soul winner is not a door-to-door salesman. He is led by the omniscient Spirit of God, who sees all the outcomes of every time and action. He can make your preaching effective and fruitful.

““Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew‬ ‭7:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Gospel you believe in your heart is a priceless treasure. Why do you need to hard-sell others about a great treasure? Those who have an eye for value will want it and ask you about it.

Some well-intentioned believers are repeatedly preaching to the wrong people. They are trying to convince those who will never believe. In Jesus’ parable, father Abraham said that some people will never be convinced, even if a spirit rises from the dead to warn them about Hell.

““He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house; for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”” (Luke‬ ‭16:27-31‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Remember—announce the Gospel; don’t hard-sell it and cheapen the image of this priceless treasure we have!

The four gospels are full of powerful revelations to help us live victoriously through Christ. It is important to understand them through the lens of grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

#Opinion by Au Ka-lun 區家麟 | "Some day in the future when the internet is blocked, Hong Kong locked down, books burnt, scholars buried alive (one of the crimes of the first Emperor in 212 BC in Chinese history), please remember no one can usurp the last inch of freedom we still own and take away our heads which belong to us. When everyone saves their memories and makes narratives of real history, our memories will not be crushed. Plebeians are able to struggle together against forgetting and keep a sharp lookout for redacted history. As long as the past is not to be controlled by bigwigs, plebeians will be able to make a decision about their own prospects, be in command over their own future again."

"當有朝一日，去到封網鎖港，焚書坑儒，請銘記，我們的寸心是自由的，腦袋是屬於自己的，沒有人可以僭奪。當每一人保住自由的記憶，向身邊人講述真實的歷史，記憶之網牢不可破；庶民一同抵抗遺忘，嚴防新編歷史，過去將不由權貴所控制，庶民才能命運自主，重新掌握未來。"

第一個單字是 archbishop、a-r-c-h-b-i-s-h-o-p、archbishop 大主教，例句是：The archbishop has strongly criticized Trump.

美國白宮很多人在和平抗議，他們不滿警察亂殺黑人。結果，川普竟然對他們用催淚瓦斯、橡膠子彈，叫他們「讓讓」，我要走到白宮對面的教堂，拍 照。
川普這樣做，惹得大主教森 77，大主教痛批川普，把教堂拿來作秀、拿來騙選票！補充一下什麼是大主教。天主教把整個世界分成一個一個教區，就像台灣被分成一個一個縣市，而每個教區的首長，就是大主教，就像是桃園市長、台南市長這樣。這個大主教就是 archbishop。

第二個單字是 liken A to B，liken 是 l-i-k-e-n、liken A to B 意思是：覺得 A 跟 B 很像，例句是：French people has likened the death of Adama Traoré to the killing of George Floyd in the US.

法國也有警察殺黑人。2016 年時，就有黑人被憲兵壓制，之後死亡。這次美國的抗議，掀起了法國人的傷痛跟共鳴，他們覺得，兩位黑人都是被公權力殺死，情況很相似。當你覺得 A 跟 B 很像，就可以說 liken A to B。

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52898262

第三個單字是 Incognito、i-n-c-o-g-n-i-t-o、Incognito 無痕模式，例句是：Google continues to track your internet activity even when you’re in "Incognito" mode.

Google 瀏覽器有個無痕模式，在這個模式下，你搜尋了什麼糟糕的東西，都不會被存下來。欸聽起來不錯耶，可以偷看一下謎片？登登登登，代誌無這簡單！在無痕模式下，你的相關數據還是會被 Google 寄出去！寄給你造訪的網站、你老闆、你學校、或是網路公司。現在就有一件法律事務所，要告上法院，說 Google 的無痕模式騙很大。無痕模式就是 incognito。

第四個單字是 ravage、r-a-v-a-g-e、ravage 蹂躪，例句是：Coronavirus-ravaged Mumbai braces for its first-ever cyclone.

印度的孟買正在努力防疫，結果熱帶氣旋跑來亂！已經有 10 萬人緊急撤離，其中包括武漢肺炎的病人啊。也就是說，病患無法好好隔離耶，真擔心病毒會傳染得更快啊... 孟買被武漢病毒蹂躪，這個蹂躪就是 ravage。

最後一個單字是 caremonger、c-a-r-e-m-o-n-g-e-r、caremonger 關懷互助的人，例句是：Caremongers India has helped connect volunteers with the people who most need their help.

印度有個臉書社群，叫做 Caremongers India，意思是「關懷互助的印度人」，這個社群很大愛喔！封城會帶來很多問題嘛，比如說老人家很難取得食物跟藥品，而這個臉書社群就彼此互助、解決問題。這些關懷互助的人，就是 caremonger，而這種散播關懷、散播愛的善良舉動，就是 caremongering。

https://www.positive.news/society/i-was-overwhelmed-by-kindness-from-complete-strangers-the-facebook-group-helping-thousands-of-vulnerable-people-in-india/

簡單複習：archbishop 大主教、liken A to B 覺得 A 跟 B 很像、Incognito 無痕模式、ravage 蹂躪、caremonger 關懷互助的人。

Ray Tracers is an arcade-style auto racing and combat video game released by Taito Corporation in 1997 for Sony's PlayStation game console. It has often been likened to Taito's own Chase H.Q., a 1988 game which was by then considered an arcade classic.

You can download Dan Lok's best-selling book F.U. Money for FREE: http://fingerjabjkd.danlok.link

If Jeet Kune Do can be likened to “fencing without a foil”, then the anatomical equivalent to the point of the fencer’s foil is the “Biu Jee” or Finger Jab. Subscribe to Dan's Channel to learn more Wing Chun or Jeet Kune Do Secrets: http://bit.ly/DanLokSubscribe

Bruce Lee's JKD Finger Jab is the longest hand tool available and therefore one of the preferred intercepting tools (second only to the Shin/Knee Side Kick, or in our case specifically, the Leg Obstruction). The primary target is the eyes.

One of Dan Lok’s passions in life is martial arts. Like many young kids, after watching a Bruce Lee movie, it changed his life forever. At 17 years old, Dan started training in martial arts seriously because he was being bullied in school. It wasn’t long for Dan to learn the techniques he needed, and gain the confidence necessary to defend himself.

Dan has studied with legendary martial artist such as Bruce Lee’s original student Ted Wong (http://tedwongjkd.net) and Joe Lewis “The Worlds Greatest Fighter” (http://joelewisassociation.com), making him a second generation student of Bruce Lee - in Bruce Lee's authentic art of Jeet Kune Do (JKD). He's also a third generation student of Ip Man (Wing Chun Kung Fu).

Dan has also trained with other great instructors like Sifu Adam Chan (https://www.pragmaticmartialarts.com), Canadian lightweight boxing champion Tony "Fire Kid" Pep (https://www.facebook.com/pepboxing), and Octavio Quintero (https://www.theartofjkd.com)

For Dan, martial arts training permeates every area of life. It’s not a hobby, it’s a way of life, and it influences how he does business.

Martial arts gave him the confidence, focus, and patience to push through these obstacles and to keep fighting when he felt like giving up.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Dan is NOT a full-time martial artist and he doesn't even claim to be that good of a fighter.

He's simply a successful businessman who enjoys the art and philosophy of Bruce Lee, just like you.

He doesn't have any online martial art videos, seminars or expensive "private training" to sell you. Quite frankly, he doesn't need the money.

He simply wants to share his passion for the art of JKD (his own version of Jeet Kune Do) through his YouTube channel.
