Me and Sol trying to make a love heart for you all with our hands...Sol will be visiting Handong University to visit all his old friends as he has a few days break from the military. Looking forward to seeing my Christ-centred friend!!!

This pic is from exactly one year ago. Tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 11th) is "Peppero Day" in Korea. Friends give each other chocolate covered snacks as that is what the 2 "1"s in the 11th are supposed to look like. (MNE-Missions iN English) Bruce & Sol "hamming it up"!

Introduction to Doctrine 8 - Tradition

"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." (2 Thessalonians 2:15)

The word tradition literally means "a giving over by word of mouth or writing". It refers to teachings handed down from one person to another. Tradition is not in and of itself wrong; it is only wrong when opposed to the Word of God. In the early church, good tradition was the principal means of Christian instruction (Luke 1:2). Paul used this word to describe his teachings, especially at Corinth and Thessalonica (2 Thess. 3:6 also). False tradition ends up as heresy or apostasy.
Illustration: The religious leaders of Jesus' day erred in placing the traditions of men above the Word of God (Matt. 15:1-9). In contrast, Luke sifted through existing records and apparently interviewed witnesses in writing an inspired record to instruct Theophilus in the faith (Luke 1:1-4).
Application: Christians need to sit under the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, but when the content conflicts with the Scriptures, the teaching of men should be disregarded for the certain truth of the Bible.

Me and my good friend, Ju-Yeun, at "Red Mango".

"Red Mango" fruit yogurt and green tea duk (rice cake). Look good? It tasted even better than it looks!

Just when I thought I had seen everything possible sold out of the back of Korean trucks... (socks, videos, vegetables, pigs heads...) This was the first "welfare-version-amusement-park-ride" I have ever seen. Not sure if I'd want to put my kids on that thing!

Pigs head or pigs feet anyone?! No? Me either!
