New Website coming
GREAT NEWS
Currently, Chen is working on a new web-site which is user friendly.
Mission statements, vision about the website will be posted. The goal is :
GLOBAL APOLOGETICS
Most people have a limited understanding of that. We will explain more when the site is up. Will keep you posted when web is ready hopefully within this month. Once again thanks to Chen who takes on this responsbiblity on his shoulder.

Copenhagen summit / Global Warming---- part 2
Basic facts on Global warming:
1. Greenhouse gas especially CO2 is the main culprit for global warming. Fact: CO2 make up only 1 to 2 % of earth's atmosphere. Water vapor makes up 95 % of greenhouse gas.
2. Origin of emissions of CO2. Fact: 2 to 3 % of CO2 comes from humans, rest 97 to 98 % from nature. Put it another way, human contribution to greenhouse effect amount to 0.28% of 1%, about 4 to 5 % from volcanoes, decaying plants, animal activity, ocean biologic activity.
3.What can be learn from CO2 levels over those millions of years (assuming evolutionary time scale) : During Cambrian period when life suddenly appeared CO2 was 18 times that of today's level !! During Jurassic Period when dinosaurs were around, the CO2 level was 9 times that of today.
4.Do we have any evidence of the Earth's temperature in the past? During the Cambrian period and Jurassic period the average temperature was about 18 C or 10 C (degree) higher or warmer than today. !!
5. Are there any evidence of association, causation between CO2 levels and temperature ? There are NO relationship, association, causation between CO2 levels and temperature.
6. Has global warming cause more significant or increase the frequency or severity of hurricanes, typoons? Cateory 1 to 5 strength of hurricanes or typhoons has not increased outside the natural range of variability.
For more details check out the references listed below.
I do not see any evidence thus far that CO2 is the trouble maker and that we certainly do not need to be under 'expert panel' to impose their regulation and tax on the world, especially when these same people appear to have conflict of interest.

Hot Air and Fire
ClimateGate Just Got Much, Much Bigger
Posted By Christopher C. Horner On December 16, 2009 (1:29 pm) In Environment
Over at ICECAP.us Meteorologist Joe D’Aleo has posted an item on a “Russian Bombshell” highly relevant to the ClimateGate scandal. The Russian media first posted the story and now some Brits are loving it.
The long and the short of it is best summarized by the Telegraph’s James Dellingpole: “What the Russians are suggesting here, in other words, is that the entire global temperature record used by the IPCC to inform world government policy is a crock.”
That is, we have yet further evidence that the data is being cooked to make the long-running claim of an increase in global temperatures, and now to diminish the apparent cooling of said temps. As the gang at EU referendum tout, “it is in Soviet Union that the CRU, NOAA, NASA show the greatest warming.”
Around the world temperature stations have been widely decommissioned in rural and higher elevations, and we see an over-emphasis on increasingly urbanized (and therefore warmer) stations in the curious selection process as to what temperatures should count, and how much. The latter point references the fact that the data is then adjusted, and we are also seeing an increase in adjusting urbanized (that is, artificially warm) temperature records not down, but upward.
Excerpted in pertinent part, Joe Writes:
On Tuesday, the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change based at the headquarters of the British Meteorological Office in Exeter (Devon, England) had probably tampered with Russian-climate data.
The IEA believes that Russian meteorological-station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory. …The data of stations located in areas not listed in the Hadley Climate Research Unit Temperature UK (HadCRUT) survey often does not show any substantial warming in the late 20th century and the early 21st century.
The HadCRUT database includes specific stations providing incomplete data and highlighting the global-warming process, rather than stations facilitating uninterrupted observations. …
IEA analysts say climatologists use the data of stations located in large populated centers that are influenced by the urban-warming effect more frequently than the correct data of remote stations.
The reason this cherry-picking is relevant — as is the apparent similar gamesmanship being played with other countries examined in recent days including China and New Zealand — because our NOAA compiles the global dataset and the rest work from it. So when CRU claimed that it “lost” its raw data, what they’re saying is the claim to have lost which stations they chose from NOAA’s compilation, making it impossible for those who wish to check it to discern how they got the answer they did.
If it is what it appears to be, and my dozen years working with these people and the past few weeks peeking further inside thanks to ClimateGate tell me that it is, then this is root-cause corruption.
Meanwhile, they are scrambling madly to stitch up an agreement in Copenhagen politically committing the U.S. to the long-desired wealth-transfer. The question is which moves faster, the collapse of the increasingly likely scientific fraud, or the global governance set.

Copenhagen summit / Global Warming
As Christians we have the mandate/ responsibility for our environment. Thus, when statement like 'we need to clean up our environment,' ' we are polluting our environment and need IPCC = UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.' According to IPCC 2007 report, the coming century if CO2 emissions continue without being restrain, the Earth's temperature would likely rise between 1.8 to 4 C and may even hit 6C which would be disastrous. According to their latest scientific research the emissions are rising so fast that the Earth is firmly on track to hit 6C if action is not taken according to Dr Pachauri the Nobel-Prize winning head of IPCC.
Dr. Pachauri listed some of the consequences of global warming i.e floods, increases in tropical syslone intensity, more extinctions of wild species and more melting of the Greenland ice sheet causing sea levels to rise aroung the world by more than 20 feet.
You may want to refresh your memory on Global warming: SPPI report posted Sep 12 '09 by Allen Jang
In my next blog I highlight what this Global warming really is all about. In the meantime it is of interest to note the 'Climategate scandal' and Dr. Rajendra Pachauri the head of IPCC stand to gain several hundred million dollars in European Union carbon credits in emission deals.

1Kings and Christmas
Here is Ana one of our regular blogger. She has something to share. Unfortunately, this website is unfriendly so I do what I can with my limited knowledge.
Go ahead Ana. And Thanks for sharing with us
Christmas is often a whirlwind of gift-buying, holiday events and "shoulds" for women.
Go ahead Ana. And Thanks for sharing with us
Christmas is often a whirlwind of gift-buying, holiday events and "shoulds" for women.
I should get so & so that gift. I should go to that holiday event. Slowing down to enjoy
the holiday season or to participate in an event to help the less fortunate is often the
least of our priorities.
If we look at the story of King Solomn in the Bible, we can gain some insights that
might apply to the holiday season. King Solomn had an excess of riches and material
goods that eventually lead to his not giving his full heart to God. ie I am able to provide
for all my needs in life so I really don't need God & his message to lead a fulfilled life.
If we slow down and look for the true "meaning of Christmas" ie remembering that
Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and taking time to participate in relationships with
others, then we will enjoy the holiday season much more!

ADVENT
ADVENT
This season covers over four Sundays and end at Christmas Eve. It is an anticipation for our Lord's Birthday. It is also a season when we should be preparing our hearts and minds for the real reason why Christ was born and in return what and why we celebrate.

I say CHRISTMAS , you think of .....?
Christmas !!
The first thing that come to your mind when I say Christmas is : Gifts , Gifts, Gifts.
Oh no I have to spend those hard earn money or wow gifts from my .....
I like to take redirect your attention to :
1. Date/ Origin of Christmas
2. Real meaning of Christmas
Most of us really don't believe that Christ was born on Dec. 25. Do we or can be at least be reasonably certain as to the month (s) of Christ birth?
To answer (1) : let us start with shepherds cultural background. During those times the shepherds literally stayed with their sheep day and night out in the open fields --- this would be around early spring. Notice also Ezra 10:9-13 Here it would seem foolish to be out with their sheep in the rain (winter) Nov-Dec. Lk 2:8 shepherds literally camp out with their sheep. It would seem that Christ was born somewhere between May to Oct.
Why Dec 25 ? Remember the church fathers were up against pagan festivities. The grand daddy of them all was 'Saturnalia.' which was celebrated around Dec 17-24th. Dec 25th was the end of winter solstice a date declared by Emperor Aurelian as day of birth of the Unconquered Sun. This date was also a celebration of the Roman god 'Saturn.' "Sun of the Righteousness" or Mithras was also celebrated on Dec 25 . The early church father was clever enough to use this ploy to redirect this celebration to a Christian celebration. This was to advance the gospel for Christ.
Final thought on this coming Christmas .
Let us understand that date or month of Christ birthday is important only in that His mission is one of Salvation for Mankind.
Let us than this Christmas: Spend less and give more

Response to ThanksGiving
Thanks for the Input Eleanor
The early day heroes of faith were willing to risk all to protect our right to the freedoms we are so blest with today. But.. they are wanning, are we willing to risk ourselves to maintain our spiritual freedoms for future generations? The measurement of our thanks for the blessings we enjoy is what we do with them and what we are willing to risk to maintain them for future generations.

Thanks giving
As Thanks Giving approaches, we take time to give Thanks to God, our Lord Christ for the many Blessings he bestow on us individually as well as a community and as a Nation. It is well that we reflect on heroes like George Washington, Abe Lincoln how they gave Thanks to God. It is also reflective for us to compare how much we have change since the time of those heroes and now.
Both heroes called on us to humble ourselves in penitence for our disobedience. We must confess our sins with contrition, ask for God’s mercy and give Him praise for his love, for all of His care for us.
On this Thanks Giving Day, let us begin in the Church with repentance. That we as a nation has abandoned the first decalogue and so like the Book of Judges conform to the world.
Have a safe and wonderful ThanksGiving with family and friends
Blessings
