Tues July 19
Over the past week MercyHK social work Simon has spent much time
going with an elderly local homeless man (who sleeps at the Cultural Centre in
Tsim Sha Tsui ... and is not a drug addict) for medical appointments to a kind
local doctor who provides pro bono help for needy people.
I spent most of yesterday at the desk, one job being to produce combined PDF files of the Simple Bible: Old Testament (English) ... now here!
Cameron
Smith (a fellow-Queenslander!) won
the British Open Golf Tournament at the weekend. In some reports he tells
how failure last year spurred him to work harder for success this year. His
improvement is an encouraging lesson as we "try to do better".

Song 5:
The bride:
I sleep, but my heart is awake.
I hear my beloved knocking.
I open my door, but he is gone.
I search for him, but cannot find him.
Lord, please help me search for
you until I find you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
16: Please protect me, Lord, I take refuge in
you.
You are the only source of all true happiness. I bless you, Lord, who guide and lead me.
Even at night you direct my heart. And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad.
My body shall rest in safety now and always. You will show me the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand, happiness for ever. Thank you, Lord, for the little
joys you give us each day
....and the big joy you've prepared for us in Heaven.
Listen
Revelation
3.1-3: He gave me this message for the church
in Sardis: "I know all about you. You are a shining
red apple on the outside,
but inside you are rotten. Wake up, revive your faith and
love.
Remember the eagerness you showed
when you first heard the Good News. Listen to this message and repent"
Jesus, don't ever let me become a rotten
apple
Listen
Luke
1.1-4: Dear
Friend of God, there are already many reports written about
Jesus.
These reports come from people who were the earliest
eyewitnesses and ministers of the Good News.
After checking the whole story, I also have decided to write a report, so
that you may see for yourself the truth and accuracy of the Good News
Jesus, help me understand
your Good News
Listen
Reflection: As we continue to faithfully read the Bible each day, it's truth and accuracy becomes clearer to us ... and more deeply influences our lives

Song of
Songs 3-4:
The bride:
On my bed at night,
I sought him whom my heart loves.
The groom:
How beautiful you are, my love.
You are wholly beautiful, my love,
and without blemish.
Lord, please help me understand
how much you love me

Psalms
14-15: So many people live and act as if God doesn't exist.
Some foolish people even say there is no
God. So many people have left the way of justice and truth.
So many people follow the way of falsehood. Lord, help us to live as we should.
Help us not to slander, help us not to wrong others.
Lord,
help us to stand firm in the
way of goodness

Revelation
2.18-22: He gave me this message for the church in
Thyatira: "I know how charitable you are.
I see your faith and devotion, and your courage in suffering. But some of you are being misled by
a false teacher.
You are imitating her bad behavior. Listen to this message and repent"
Jesus, please don't let me imitate bad
behavior
Listen
Mark
16.9-20: After he rose from the dead, Jesus appeared
first to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had cast out 7 devils. Next
he appeared to two of his disciples while they were on a journey. Then he appeared to the 11 apostles. He said
to them "Go everywhere in the world. Proclaim the Good News to all
creation.
Anyone who believes and is baptized, will be saved.
Anyone who refuses to believe, will be condemned.
These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils,
they will have the gift of tongues, they will pick up snakes in their hands, they will be unharmed if they drink poison,
they will lay their hands on the sick, who will be healed".
And so, the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to
them, was taken up to heaven, while they, going out, preached everywhere,
the Lord working with them and confirming their message by the miracles that
accompanied the message
Lord Jesus, may more and more
people all over the world believe in you

Genesis
18: One
day at Mamre, God
and two angels appeared to Abraham. At first, God and the angels looked
like men.
Following the ancient custom of hospitality Abraham prepared a feast for them.
God told Abraham that the town of Sodom was going to be destroyed because of the
evil done there. Abraham pleaded with God not to destroy Sodom. God agreed to
postpone Sodom's destruction for a while.
Dear God, please help people avoid sodomy

matters".

Two nights ago, MercyHK social worker Lucia was called out at
10.30 to receive a newly homeless domestic helper .... followed by another one
at 11.30 (a Covid positive case) ... followed by another one at 2.30am! God
bless Lucia for her dedication to helping such urgent cases!
At yesterday afternoon's weekly gathering for homeless people at the Dr Jesus Centre there were lovely meal gifts from members of a local Evangelical church .... before which we read the story of the Good Samaritan and then watched Bishop Joseph Ha's video commentary on the same. After reflecting so much about the concern we should have for our neighbour I showed something slightly off the topic (we usually have a time for something lighter) ... in fact the opposite of loving your neighbour .... video highlights of last Wednesday's victory by my home state of Queensland over arch rivals New South Wales in the final of this year's State of Origin series!

Songs 1-2: The bride says:
Kiss me. Your love is better than wine.
How right it is to love you, you whom my heart loves.
The bridegroom says:
How beautiful you are,
my love, how beautiful you are.
The bride:
He has taken me to his
banquet hall
and his banner over me is love.
The groom:
Come then, my love, my
lovely one, come.
Show me your face and let me hear your voice,

My beloved is mine and
I am his.

You have so often rescued me from trouble. Thank you! You are the best helper for people in trouble.

Please let peoples in all countries know they must avoid evil and live a

Revelation
2.12-16: He gave me this message for the church in
Pergamum: "I know you live in a place where idol
worship is strong.
I know you have stayed faithful, even after one of you was killed. But some of you have compromised yourselves by
eating food sacrificed to idols. And some of you have followed false
teachers. Listen to this message and repent"
Jesus, don't let me ever compromise my faith
Listen
Mark
16.1-8: Jesus died on Friday afternoon.
Early on Sunday morning, Mary of
Magdala and two other women went to
Jesus' tomb to anoint his body with spices.
They had been wondering how they would roll away the large stone, but when they arrived,
the stone had already been rolled away.
When they went into the tomb, they saw a young
man in a white robe and they were full of awe. But he said to them
"Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is
not here. He has risen from the dead. Go and tell his disciples he
will see them in Galilee".
Jesus,
when life seems
hopeless, like a dead body in a tomb, please
help us remember how you rose from the dead....and you can help us
"rise" from any "hopeless" situation
Listen
Reflection: "Hopeless" is not in God's dictionary!

group for drug addicts ... which marvellously engaged the addicts'
attention!

Ecclesiastes 10-11: Foolish people are lazy, and careless
in speech.
Wise people are diligent, and careful in speech. Young people, rejoice in your
youth.
Young people, remember your Creator in the days of your youth. Let everyone remember: our life
is short.
Don't waste your life. Live life well. Our days pass quickly
and old age is soon at the doorstep. Old age: when to go uphill is
difficult
and even walking is not easy. In all we do, let us love and
honor the Lord our God.
At the end of our lives on earth, it is to God we will have to give an
account of the way we have lived.
Lord, make us know the
shortness of our life so that we may have more wisdom in living our lives
My

Psalm
8: How great is your name, O Lord our God,
through all the earth. When I see the heavens, the work of your
hands,
the moon and stars which you have arranged,
then I stop and think:
what are we insignificant humans that you should care about us? Yet you have put us in charge of the world.
Everything is subject to our control.

our God, through all the earth

you. Do not be afraid of suffering, afraid of
prison.
Even if you have to die, keep
faithful,
and I will give you the prize of eternal life"

trials and suffering

Mark
15.42-47: Joseph from Arimathaea was a rich
man who had become a disciple of Jesus. After Jesus died on Friday, he
asked Governor Pilate for Jesus' body. Joseph wrapped the body in a clean
burial cloth and put it in a tomb in a rock cave. He then put a large
stone at the cave's entrance. Mary of Magdala and another woman watched Joseph as he put Jesus' body in the tomb
Jesus in the tomb, please give
eternal life to everyone who dies today

Ecclesiastes 8-9:
I see injustice in the world:
good people are treated badly; bad people are treated well.
I do know, however,
that good people are in the special care of God. We must try to be happy as much
as we can.
We must try to make the most of our lives. Spend your life with the woman
you love.

your goodness to me.

Mark
15.33-39:
Jesus was put on the cross sometime after 9am.
From about noon until 3pm there was darkness over all the land. About 3pm Jesus cried out the
words of Psalm 22
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" A little while later he again
cried out in a loud voice.
Then he died. At that moment the holy curtain in the Temple was torn in
two from top to bottom. The leader of the Roman soldiers
who crucified Jesus, when he saw how Jesus died, said "Truly this man
was a son of God"
Jesus, thank you for dying on
the cross for the salvation of the world

went to Mei Foo and in 20 mins (including 15 mins after-needle recovery time) I
was finished. Not one second of waiting time!
At
the Dr Jesus Centre yesterday MercyHK social workers Simon and Patrick organised
a "how to use a mobile" session for a group of people for whom MercyHK
is providing accommodation ... explaining how to use WhatsApp etc.
Also yesterday afternoon 500 copies of Simple Bible: New Testament, revised English edition, arrived at the Dr Jesus Centre. I will try to put the whole text on www in the next week or two. I can't praise PrintShop too highly .... superb job ... no price increase for many years ... and as usual ... delivery was a day or two early!
JOB WANTED! One of MercyHK's Filipina guests was yesterday given a visa for 14 days ... which means she has 14 days to find a new employer or she must leave HK. If anyone can help, please call our social worker Lucia Leung 63812277 or myself 67095674

6-7: Even if a person studies wisdom, what use is

Wise person and fool both must die. Yet wisdom gives protection and

And wisdom reminds us that all of us make mistakes.
Therefore we should be slow to condemn others.

Revelation
1.9-17: I, John, share your sufferings. I was on the
island of Patmos, imprisoned for having preached about Jesus. One Sunday the
Spirit possessed me. I heard a
voice shouting
"Write down all you see, and send it to the seven churches of
Ephesus, Smyrna,
Pergamum, Thyatira,
Sardis, Philadelphia and
Laodicea". I turned to see who had spoken to me, and I
saw Jesus,
full of glory. His face was like the sun shining with all its force. He said to me "Do not be afraid. It is I,
the First and the Last. I am the Living One".
Jesus, Living One, we praise and adore you,
Lord
Listen
Mark
15.21-32:
As Jesus was taken to the place of crucifixion,
a man named Simon, from Cyrene, was made to carry Jesus' cross. Sometime after 9am, Jesus was nailed to the cross.
Two robbers were crucified
with him, one on his right and one on his left.
Above Jesus' head was a sign with the charge against him.
The sign said "The King of the Jews". People passing by that place made
fun of Jesus.
So did the religious leaders. They mocked and taunted him.
Jesus on the Cross,
thank you for suffering so much for the salvation of the world
