Quotes from the Baby Conference–15 Jul 10

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I recently had the pleasure of taking my family to the Baby Conference which was hosted by Vision Forum in San Antonio, TX.  At the conference, Mr. Geoff Botkin made the following observations:

“Definition of the American dream–an adulterous love affair with mammon at the expense of Biblical obedience.”

Interestingly, he found the following quote from Life magazine in early 1950s:

“The greatest challenge to American Christianity today is a popular, bland, respectable faith termed secular humanism.”

In combating the degenerating worldview around us, he said he exhorts his children that, “we live on a battleground, not on a playground.” This was in the context that many of our youth do not see the seriousness of the spiritual and cultural battles of our day.  Do we adults see it?  A good question, indeed.

On July 4, 2010, at approximately 11pm, our dear mother, Sono Sato Harris, passed away and went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ. It was an entirely peaceful parting. Our family is grieving, and yet grieving as those who have hope because of Jesus’ death and resurrection for us. Goodnight, Mama.

Where are the good Samaritans? 24 Apr 10

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”  Matt 24:12

NY Post–A heroic homeless man, stabbed after saving a Queens woman from a knife-wielding attacker, lay dying in a pool of blood for more than an hour as nearly 25 people indifferently strolled past him, a shocking surveillance video obtained by the New York Post reveals.

Some of the passers-by paused to stare at Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax last Sunday morning and others leaned down to look at his face.

He had jumped to the aid of a woman attacked on 144th Street at 88th Road in Jamaica, Queens, at 5:40 a.m., was stabbed several times in the chest and collapsed as he chased his assailant.

In the wake of the bloodshed, a man came out of a nearby building and chillingly took a cellphone photo of the victim before leaving. And in several instances, pairs of people gawked at Tale-Yax without doing anything.

Later, another man stopped, leaned over and vigorously shook Tale-Yax’s body. After lifting the victim’s head and body to reveal a pool of blood, he also walked off.

Not until some 15 minutes after he was shaken by the pedestrian — more than an hour and 20 minutes after the victim collapsed — did firefighters finally arrive and discover that Tale-Yax, 31, had died.

Firefighters were responding to a 911 call of a non-life-threatening injury at 7:23 a.m. when they found his body.

Sigh…
