From Fisherman to Shepherd to Cancer Patient to Seminary Student

The Weide Wang Master of Divinity program started in 2000. God spoke to me through the words of the Bible and some experiences in my life. Because God loves me, he calls me to get closer to Him and to serve Him throughout my life. In 2004, I suffered from blood cancer. God used this terrible disease to let me know how much He loves me and asked me to learn to trust Him wholeheartedly. He made me deeply realize that no matter what kind of person I am, He will never leave me! God also gave me the courage to break through the barrier of faith and respond to His call. Today, I very much hope to enter the seminary while I am still young to equip myself well, learn to offer my best, and serve God with my life. ...

God’s Wondrous and Abundant Love Befalls Me

Fung Kit-ying Master of Divinity Course 1. Belief in the Lord, Growth and Service When I was in primary school, I followed my teacher to Tai Kok Tsui Baptist Church and felt that the people in the church were very friendly. After I decided to believe in the Lord in middle school, I returned to the "Corner Baptism". At first, my mother opposed me, which made the church life unstable, and then stopped. In 1982, I felt very disappointed due to emotional problems and completely lost faith in people. However, I remembered that God’s love is eternal and I wanted to return to the embrace of the Lord. I was worried about my mother’s opposition, so I silently prayed to God to open a way, and promised Him: “If You lead me back to the church, I am willing to serve You in the church.”…

A Familiar Community

Interview with Rev. Ip King-tak. Alumnus Ip King-tak serves as a voluntary internship supervisor in our college and just returned to school last month to deliver a special lecture. He has been on the road to ministry for more than 20 years. In 1984, when he was about to complete the Master of Divinity program at the Baptist College, he had already started working as the Liaison Officer for Christian Student Activities in the Chaplaincy Office of Hong Kong Baptist College. Three years later, he applied for a leave of absence and went to the United States to study for a master's degree in theology. One year after graduation, he continued to study in the UK. Unexpectedly, after obtaining his doctorate there, he would return to this institution to teach. He also did not expect that after more than ten years of trouble-free teaching career, God would lead him back to his original campus pastoral office last year─this time. , but he became a school chaplain. This time, he faced challenges he had never encountered before...

The Problem of Identifying with Biblical Persons and Times

Jerry E. Moye Professor of Old Testament and Spirituality As preachers and as teachers of the Bible and theology, we are faced with an inevitable problem, and it is also a good problem, that is, we must go back and forth between between theoretical academic research and practical application of knowledge. These two aspects are complementary to each other. As a Bible teacher, consultant pastor, and preacher, the author has tried to connect issues of Bible study and exegesis with spirituality, and has received a lot of help from them. On the one hand, we pay attention to correct biblical exegesis to prevent the abuse of the basic tool of the faith community. On the other hand, we also pay attention to a sound and fulfilling spirituality, so that we can have more fear of God and be upright. ...
