하나님을 아빠라고 부름

2009 November 4

Wolfius에 의하면 히브리 사회에서 종은 자기 주인을 “아빠”(אבא)라고 혹은 주모를 “아이마”(אימא)라고 부르지 못하도록 되어 있었다고 한다. 그러나 “성령이 친히 우리의 영과 더불어 우리가 하나님의 자녀인 것을 증언하시나니” (롬 8:16) “우리가 아빠 아버지라고 부르짖느니라” (롬 8:15) “무릇 하나님의 영으로 인도함을 받는 사람은 곧 하나님의 아들이라” (롬 8:14)

조두순 성폭행 사건

조두순 씨의 성폭행으로 많은 사람들이 분개하고 있다.

그런데, 조두순 씨는 술에 취했다 하더라도, 술에 취하지도 않은 멀쩡한 정신의 어른들에 의해 매년 35만 명 이상의 태아들이 (상당수가 어른들의 편의를 위해) 엄마의 뱃속에서 죽임을 당하고 있다. 상당수 시술이 보고가 되지 않는다는 점을 고려할 때 실제 낙태 실태는 매년 150만~200만 건에 이를 것으로 추정된다. 사람들은 언제쯤 이런 것에 대해 분개하게 될까…

(참고: 강호순, 생명경시, 그리고 낙태)

추가: 범인의 이름이 밝혀짐에 따라 피해자의 이름을 생략하는 것이 좋겠다고 생각이 들어 글을 고쳤습니다.

Joining Wireless Network with Airport Express

2009 September 20
by hun

I have an existing wireless network with a 3rd party router. I tried to connect Airport Express; everything worked fine using the Airport Utility, except that after updating the configuration and Airport Express restarted, it could not be detected anymore.

Solution:

  1. Plug in Airport Express to a power source.
  2. Reset Airport Express by pressing the reset button. (We have to wait until the LED light flashes.)
  3. Connect Airport Express to the router with via ethernet.
  4. Connect to the wireless network provided by Airport Express. (The network name looks like “Airport Base Station …”)
  5. Using Airport Utility, set up Airport Express so that it joins the wireless network we already had.
  6. Wait until Airport Utility reports that the update was successful.
  7. Disconnect the ethernet cable from Airport Express. We’re done.

요나와 예수님의 차이

요나서 1장 1–3절 강해

요나는 니느웨 사람들이 구원받느니 차라리 자신이 하나님의 나라에서 끊여지길 원하였다. 요나는 밤새워 고민을 했는지, 폭풍을 만난 배에서 잠을 잘 정도였다.

우리의 모습이다; 자신의 욕구 때문에 하나님과의 교통을 내팽겨쳐 버리는 그런 존재다.

그러나 그리스도께서는, 영원히 버림 받고 죽어 마땅한 그런 우리들을 구원하시고자, 우리가 받아 마땅한 저주와 끊겨짐을 대신 받길 다짐하셨다.

Why Samson is a Hero of Faith

2009 September 7

As we read the story of Samson in the Book of Judges it is hard not to notice the distress he went through. At the same time we wonder “How come Samson is mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11 as a hero of faith?” Most of preachers or commentators that I read would give explanation such as “Samson did not give up trusting/believing God till the end.” But that doesn’t seem to be an enough reason to be cited as a hero of faith, considering the overall teachings of the Bible.

The question regarding Samson’s faith was finally answered in a very important stage in my life through the published sermons of Dr. Hong-chun Kim. Thanks to God for sending a preacher like Dr. Kim to the church. His sermons helped me tremendously in appreciating the historic reformed faith.

In this post, I will try to summarize and translate the main points of Dr. Kim’s exposition. It will inevitably reflect my understanding; so if there is any mistake, it is due to the error in my part. I encourage you to read Dr. Kim’s original sermon which is much more detailed and thorough.

The state of the church in our day and age is not too different than that of the days of Samson. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless us in reading the story of Samson, open our eyes, and allow us to see the necessity of the faith that Samson had.

Calvin on Romans 7:24-25

2009 September 4

And further, lest they should indulge their torpor, Paul, by his own example, stimulates them to anxious groanings, and bids them, as long as they sojourn on earth, to desire death, as the only true remedy to their evils; and this is the right object in desiring death. Despair does indeed drive the profane often to such a wish; but they strangely desire death, because they are weary of the present life, and not because they loathe their iniquity. But it must be added, that though the faithful level at the true mark, they are not yet carried away by an unbridled desire in wishing for death, but submit themselves to the will of God, to whom it behoves us both to live and to die: hence they clamor not with displeasure against God, but humbly deposit their anxieties in his bosom; for they do not so dwell on the thoughts of their misery, but that being mindful of grace received, they blend their grief with joy, as we find in what follows.
[...] But what is sufficient to bridle impatience and to cherish resignation, is the thought, that they have been received under the protection of God, that they may never perish, and that they have already been favored with the first-fruits of the Spirit, which make certain their hope of the eternal inheritance. Though they enjoy not as yet the promised glory of heaven, at the same time, being content with the measure which they have obtained, they are never without reasons for joy.
— Calvin, Commentary on Romans 7:24-25

많은 성도들이 로마서에서 큰 위로를 받습니다. 우리의 죄악을 넘어서는 하나님의 크신 사랑을 보기 때문입니다. 이런 것을 잘 밝히고 설명해 준 칼빈 선생을 교회에 보내주신 하나님의 은혜에 감사드립니다.

Snow Leopard and Quicksilver

2009 August 28

Yes, I am one of those guys who ordered Snow Leopard to arrive at my door step this morning. (It was free shipping by the way.) I think it is well worth the upgrade money. The upgrade actually gave an extra 10 Gbytes of free space.

Snow Leopard officially launched today.

Snow Leopard officially launched today. Seamless upgrade; it simply "works".

After installing Snow Leopard, I found that Quicksilver that I installed in the past did not function properly (the Preference would not load). This problem was solved by deleting the folder “~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver” and installing version B56a7.

Update:

  • The Services Menu Module crashes with Snow Leopard. So don’t install that.
  • The trigger “Select (null) in command window” will not work in Snow Leopard. But one can always use Command+G (⌘+G) for that purpose after opening the Quicksilver command window.

Just got Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. (Google shopping page here.) It’s a great mouse, and the reviews are nice.

Now, this mouse has a 3rd and 4th button. One can configure it on a mac so that say, the 3rd button works with Exposé and the 4th opens the Dashboard. These can be configured in System Preferences > Exposé & Spaces

외모와 내면의 분리

2009 August 7

하나님은 사람의 외모가 아닌 중심을 보신다고 하셨습니다. 육체는 보이지 않는 인격을 담는 형체이기 때문에 그 사람이 누구냐 하는 것은 내면에 담겨 있는 것임이 당연합니다.

그런데 외모 만 놓고 그 사람을 칭송하거나 외모만 탐닉하는 것은 그 사람의 영혼에는 관심이 없다는 것입니다. 그 사람의 육와 영을 분리 시키는 이러한 행위는 살인과 연결 되어 있다는 생각이 듭니다.

관련된 것으로, 음란의 문제가 있습니다. 음욕을 품거나 포르노그라피를 즐기는 것이 이러한 예에 해당합니다.
