Titan Mak (M.Div. 1) Titan Mak, his wife Ruizhen and his son Maibo were in the senior grade of primary school. When I decided to believe in the Lord at the gospel camp held in school, I was only half-believing and half-doubting in my heart. My initial church life only lasted for one or two months. Thank God for not forgetting me and for arranging an angel for me. By chance, I met a friend who brought me to church, and since then church life has opened a new chapter in my life! ...

Kwok Tak-sum (B.Th. 1), Bachelor of Theology, Year 1. Tak-sum with his wife Min-yee and their daughters Xin-yue and Shang-shang. “Waste Youth” Experiences in Theological Seminary When I was in junior high school, I loved sports. I played football and ran every day. I represented the school in competitions and won numerous awards. However, my academic performance was far from satisfactory. In Form 3, I was even expelled from school due to poor academic performance. This experience made me feel worthless and hopeless, and I was unhappy every day. After transferring to another school, I gradually became a bad student, making trouble in class, smoking, and fighting with others. It can be said that before I believed in the Lord, I was a hopeless and worthless "waste youth". Precisely because they cannot find the value of their own lives, they resort to all kinds of abnormal behaviors to try to find and affirm their own value. ...

Nathan Ng Professor of Christian Thought (Church History) Augustine's creationism is undeniable. From a historical perspective, "environmental protection" has never been a topic of concern to the early church fathers or religious reformers. It is only because of the increasing global pollution and the continued intensification of climate warming in modern times that environmental protection has received attention from the church community. However, this does not mean that past church history documents are worthless when discussing relevant issues. In fact, the Bible does not directly discuss environmental protection, but it is the main reference basis for Christians today. Likewise, church history contains many valuable documents that can provide inspiration for the modern church. The author here attempts to use the famous church father Augustine (Augustine,...

Andres Tang Professor of Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) Anthropocentrism? In recent years, Chinese church groups have become more and more concerned about the ecological environment, and many brothers and sisters have taken action to practice low-carbon green living in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. But why should we care about the ecological environment? Why should we live a low-carbon green life? Is this because the church has gradually realized that human beings should not only care about themselves, but also care about the ecological environment, and expand "love your neighbor" to "love the earth"? Is this because the church has gradually realized that Christianity, as a religion of love, should not be centered on humans, but should instead take other creatures into consideration? This is worth our consideration. ...
