The work of William Tyndale and Richard Taverner. This bible is from the year 1551 in the reign of King Edward VI, is the Taverner Old Testament and the Tydale New Testament translation.

went to the Dead Sea Scroll Exhibition yesterday with Enci and SzeEan,

I'm marvelled about the fact that our Holy bibles really don't come easy

• countless people had risked and sacrifcied their lives just to protect the bible, making sure that it will be pass on to many generations,that they too can enjoy God's Word
  
• many significant people had spent so much time and effort,under harsh and tormenting conditions just to translate to another language, so that the Word of God can reach another race. after them will get to enjoy the word.
  

And God's timing is just so perfect, that under a particular political and cultural factors, the bible can be formed and produced massively.

One new martyr that I learnt from the exhibition:William Tyndale.

To know more about him you can refer to this :http://www.tlogical.net/biotyndale.htm

in the previous post, i mentioned about excelling.
at the same time of wanting to excel, it is so easy to fall into the trap of arrogant and boastful

may i be reminded of this:

Jeremiah 9:23-24

This is what the LORD says:
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD.

竟然在电视节目上《明星职工队》意外地看到泰国晨曦戒毒所。虽然不是我所去的那一间，但是还是让我忆起了在两年前到那儿短宣的日子。弟兄之间的爱心和那颗为神委身的心、简单朴素的生活、不卖任何会上瘾的食物、可口可乐弟兄、小孩的天真无邪、真诚待人的态度努力地学华文等等....好想念泰国清莱的小朋友和弟兄姐妹啊，不知道他们现在过得怎样了。
