@Rachel, I contacted their customer support and they replied back saying the Bibles are NIV.

Wonderful to hear of this book project and I believe with you that it will be refreshing to many. Pace yourself well as you work on this; eager to hear of your insights for Sabbath in the 21st century - much needed.

Thanks for sharing these lessons from church planting. Astute observations and I believe they'll be very helpful to others who are church planters and people who stumble upon a newly-started young church, so they go in with eyes open and with reasonable expectations.

Lizwi, thanks for your question Matthew 27:53 was making a reference to the future time when Jesus resurrected. When you follow the chronology of Matthew 27:54-65, Jesus' dead body was taken off the cross, wrapped in linen, and placed in a guarded tomb. The resurrection happens after that, 3 days later, as described in Matthew 28:1-10. He is risen!

Oh, may the Lord have mercy. It's so hard when someone is unwilling or doesn't recognize their need for getting help. When we are helpless, we can ask God to breakthru and intervene. Oh, Lord, you are the powerful one who can open the eyes and hearts of those who are hurting, hurting themselves and others. Please step in and bring him to his senses.

May God's grace be sufficient for you and others impacted by this situation.

Re: The Internet and the Rise of Christian Mobs

djchuang — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 19:46:48 -0000

Ah, yes, the mob mentality. It can affect Christians too, because we're in the same human conditions as everyone else. One thing with the web is the availability for anyone and everyone to have a voice. That being the case, watchdog blogs—the ones that have no accountability when criticizing other Christian leaders in their so-called discernment ministries—have used their voices quite actively.

If more of the good ones would use their voices online regularly, perhaps we can tip the balance away from the mobs and the watchdogs.

Re: Our Experience at Museum of the Bible

I didn't get to go pre-launch, but I did get to http://museum.bible during the first week of opening. Had a great time but didn't get to see everything. One expert says it would take at least a week to see everything, as in, read every placard.

I did write up 7 tips for others to go to Museum of the Bible, and a reminder to myself, for my next visits. http://djchuang.com/motb

Great to see you getting into vlogging, though it would have been so much quicker for me to read your 5 reasons in a blog post :)

TL;DR: SquareSpace for simplicity, WordPress for complexity.

Re: The Museum Of the Bible Is Open!

djchuang — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 21:07:32 -0000

Very blessed to visit the Museum of the Bible during the first week of its opening! Quite an amazing experience, and got to share it with my family. I think in one day, Black Friday, I only saw maybe 50% of the exhibits; and that's a quick walkthru. I hope to visit again, at least a handful of times, though that will take some effort because I live in California.

I would love to see the videos that were produced. It'd be a great companion to the book by Cary Summers with the museum's back story too.

Plus, I took the time to blog some of my tips for visiting the museum and hope they're helpful- http://djchuang.com/2017/7-...

Re: We Went To The Museum Of The Bible So You Don’t Have To – The Forward

djchuang — Sat, 25 Nov 2017 00:13:25 -0000

Thanks for sharing your honest feelings. Perhaps the corollary to “For the people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing that they will like.” is that people who hate this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing that they will hate. :)

One idea that would make the Judeo-Christian value of this museum more prominent is to have an entire exhibit curated by Jews for how the Bible’s sacred text holds meaning. Voila.

Brilliant insight that Seth Godin gave. And thanks for sharing how you made the decision for yourself about your business. Yes, it's good to discern and decide what fits: whether to scale up a business to be bigger, run a business to be profitable and sustainable, or even not to run a business at all!

Thank you, Jeremy, for untangling the Chinese cultural instincts that we are instilled into us by our family of origin and even in many ethnic Chinese churches and bringing the Gospel of grace into the light. It's a much more wonderful thing to be living a grace-filled life that overflows from gratitude and thanksgiving for all that God's given to us and lavishes us with. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'd add 3 more things that has to be gotten in person: 1. touch (and hugs), 2. smells (for those kinds of churches), 3. corporate experience - neurological research finding data that suggest that pepole experiencing a movie and a event differently when it's in person with many other people vs. being alone watching a movie or event.
