Not Impressed by the Reputations of Men
“God had given me a clear revelation to go and confer with the other apostles concerning the message of grace I was preaching to the non-Jewish people. I spoke privately with those who were viewed as senior leaders of the church. I wanted to make certain that my labor and ministry for the Messiah had not been based on a false understanding of the gospel...Even the most honored and esteemed among the brothers were not able to add anything to my message. Who they are before men makes no difference to me, for God is not impressed by the reputations of men.” (Galatians 2:2, 6 TPT)
I love the apostle Paul’s mindset. He was not ‘starstruck’ by Peter, James, and John.
Whereas others would have been intimidated by the fame and reputation of the apostles in Jerusalem, Paul wasn’t.
He was led by God to go and meet them, and the only reason he wanted to speak with them was to confirm that he was preaching the correct Gospel.
Paul valued praise from God, not the praises of men.
If God is not impressed by the reputations of men, then as His children we shouldn’t be impressed too.
There is no need to feel intimidated when speaking to someone with a glorified title.
“When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.” (Luke 14:1 WEB)
Jesus went to a party where the most respected Pharisees were, and He still spoke straightforwardly, without mincing His words. He was not afraid to speak the truth, even if it offended reputable men.
“He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them, “When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him, and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”” (Luke 14:7-14 WEB)
Jesus’ words above are essentially meaning that the guests at the party were pretentious hypocrites, all trying to curry favor with the rich and famous. Think about how offensive these words would be to most people at the party.
We are a new creation in Christ in contrast to the children of Adam. We are the new and improved version 2.0. Children of Adam are transgressors, whereas children of God are royal priests and heirs of His estate.
Even the wealthiest unbeliever is only like a piece of firewood, due to be thrown in the unquenchable fires of Hell when he dies.
As for speaking to fellow believers, God’s word says that we are one in Christ and that titles don’t matter—we are all of equal standing. We are all saved by one Lord, born-again of the same Spirit, and none of us earned this salvation—it’s all by grace through faith.
“For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28 WEB)
Don’t get me wrong, Paul respected the office of apostle which Peter, James, and John held. These positions are given by God. Paul also teaches us to respect the governing bodies and submit to them for the Lord’s sake.
We should also respect our leaders in church for the sake of the offices that they hold since they are ordained by God. Give them proper honor for the sake of the office. Submit to those who have the authority over us, as this authority was given by God.
However, we don’t need to fear reputable men. You don’t have to shrink back, feeling like you are somehow less important, less worthy, or less loved. God loves you even as (as much as) He loves Jesus—that’s how important you are to Him!
If people abuse their office of authority and mistreat you, they themselves will be accountability for it before Jesus. Maybe their eternal rewards will be given to you instead, to restore you for the injustice.
“Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”” (John 19:11 WEB)
No one can harm you when God is protecting you. Men have no power of their own. Therefore, be bold and have confidence in Christ. Straighten your shoulders and back, and raise your chin up. Be set free from the fear of reputations of men!
I shared more about the time when Jesus went to that Pharisee’s party in my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”. Did you know that He healed a man with dropsy there? There is a spectacular lesson in it. See God’s Grace and love towards you in all the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ, and let faith arise for your own supernatural breakthroughs: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

[時事英文] 為何台灣僅42例新冠病毒確診*
Why Taiwan Has Just 42 Coronavirus Cases
Taiwan sits near Japan, China and South Korea, three countries with some of the world’s worst outbreaks of the deadly coronavirus, but the island itself has just 42 isolated cases.
1. sit near 位於…附近、鄰近
2. outbreaks of the deadly coronavirus 致命新冠病毒的爆發
3. isolated cases 個別案件
台灣鄰近日、中國和韓國,這三個國家是致命新冠病毒爆發最嚴重的國家,然台灣僅有42例個案確診。
*Coronavirus Update (Live): https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Chalk it up to extra early, effective preparedness, analysts and policymakers say – so effective that people’s approval of the government unexpectedly soared last month.
4. chalk something up to something …歸因於…
5. effective preparedness有效的預備狀態
6. approval of the government soared 對政府的認可驟升
分析人士和政策制定者表示,歸因於及早的有效的抗疫準備,斐然成果讓上個月人們對政府的認可意外驟升。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Taiwanese health officials saw the virus taking shape in the central Chinese Wuhan in December and began checking passengers who flew in from there. They also cut off flights from much of China, the outbreak origin, before a lot of peers around Asia did.
7. take shape 成形
8. cut off flights 中斷航班
9. the outbreak origin 疫情的起源
10. epicenter of the outbreak 疫情的起源點
台灣衛生署官員在12月發現該病毒的疫情於中國中部武漢市初具規模,便開始檢驗自該地搭機來台的乘客。更在其他亞洲國家有所反應前,便中斷從中國大部分地區(疫情的起源)出發的航班。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Now almost every public building in Taipei offers hand sanitizer and a lot of them, such as schools, require that anyone entering submit to a fever check. Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control announces any new cases every day. In February it began rationing facemask purchases to head off panic buying.
11. hand sanitizer 洗手抗菌劑,消毒劑
12. a fever check 發燒檢查
13. announce new cases 發布新的確診案例
14. ration (v.) facemask purchases 口罩配給購買
15. head off 防止
16. panic buying 恐慌性搶購
現在,台北幾乎每棟公共建築都提供洗手消毒液,很多公共機關例如學校,都要求來者接受體溫測試。台灣衛生福利部疾病管制署每天都會發布是否有新的確診案例。在二月份,疾管署開始口罩配給購買,以杜絕恐慌性搶購。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“With the hit from Wuhan pneumonia, most people originally figured Taiwan was going to be miserable this time because of [sic]* ties with mainland China are so close, and that it couldn’t be avoided,” said You Ying-lung, chairman of the Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation polling agency, using a local term for the disease officially dubbed COVID-19.
17. figure (v.) 認為
18. ties with與…連結
19. could not be avoided 無法避免
*because, please check the comments
「受武漢市肺炎的衝擊,大多數人原以為這次台灣將因與中國大陸的緊密連繫而疫情嚴重且無法避免」民調機構台灣民意基金會董事長游盈隆表示,他以正式命名為COVID-19病毒的俗稱(武漢肺炎)談論疫情。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“But as the things became clear, it turned out Taiwan wasn’t so miserable and in fact compared to other countries in the world, it’s got the best performance,” he said.
20. become clear 變得清楚
21. turn out …地發生(或發展);結果是(尤指出乎意料的結果)
22. the best performance最好的表現
「但是隨著事情變得明朗,事實證明台灣並沒有那麼嚴重,實際上,與世界其他國家相比,台灣表現最好。」游董事長表示。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The government first took notice of the virus in December as people in China began talking about it informally. In response, the Centers for Disease Control started onboard quarantine of all direct flights from Wuhan on December 31. The centers said on its website that by January 9 it had “inspected” 14 flights with 1,317 passengers and attendants.
23. take notice of 注意
24. in response 作為因應
隨著中國人民開始非正式地談論該病毒,台灣政府於12月關注到此事。作為因應,疾管署於12月31日開始對武漢所有直航進行機上隔離檢疫。疾管署於其網站上表示,截至1月9日,已經檢驗了14班航班,共 1,317名乘客與空服員。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The disease caught the attention of other countries in late January. Although numbers of new cases are dropping in China, Japan and South Korea are grappling with recent outbreaks.
25. catch the attention of... 引起...的注意
26. grapple with... 與…搏鬥
該疾病於一月下旬引起了其他國家的注意。儘管在中國,新的確診案例數量正在下降,但日本和韓國正與疫情近期的境內爆發搏鬥。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Taiwanese citizens, Lo said, consider transparency “very important.” The government hopes to release information that keeps people on guard without inciting any panic, analysts believe.
27. consider transparency to be important認為透明度很重要
28. release information 發布資訊
29. keep people on guard 保持警惕
30. incite panic 煽動恐慌
羅(立委)表示,台灣公民認為透明度「非常重要」。分析者認為,政府希望發布能夠使人們保持警惕的消息,而不引起任何恐慌。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Officials are looking for ways now to minimize economic impacts of the virus.
Parliament approved a $1.96 billion stimulus package last month for companies shaken by the outbreak. After the virus subsides, Lo said, the government will come out with discount vouchers to encourage spending. More might be in the pipeline.
31. minimize economic impact 減少經濟影響
32. a stimulus package 振興方案
33. be shaken by the outbreak 受疫情爆發所震盪、削弱
34. discount voucher 優惠券
35. encourage spending 鼓勵消費
36. in the pipeline 在籌劃中;在進行中
官員們正在尋找使病毒的經濟影響最小化的方法。
國會上個月批准了用於受疫情爆發所震盪的公司企業的19.6億美元振興紓困特別預算案。盧表示病毒平息後,政府將提供優惠券以鼓勵消費。可能還有更多措施在籌畫當中。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“We need to do something to help the small and medium-sized enterprises to pass through this kind of difficult period,” Lo said. “The government for example needs to lower the interest rates and to help the people or the companies, or factories, to borrow new loans from the bank, so this is the first stage.”
37. pass through this difficult period 渡過這個艱難的時期
38. lower interest rate 降低利率
「我們需要做些事情來幫助中小企業渡過這種困難時期。」 盧還表示:「“例如,政府需要降低利率,並幫助人民、公司或工廠從銀行借貸,這是第一步。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Action against the coronavirus to date has boosted President Tsai Ing-wen’s approval rating to 68.5% in February up from 56.7% in January and on par with what she polled right after taking office in 2016, a Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation poll showed February 24. Local television network TVBS gave the government an 82% approval rating for its handling of the outbreak.
“The meaning is the Tsai government is doing pretty well,” You said.
39. boost approval rating 提高支持率
40. on par with… 與...相當
41. its handling of the outbreak 它對疫情的處理
42. do well 做得好
台灣民意基金會2月24日的一項民意調查顯示,迄今為止,針對冠狀病毒的行動已將蔡英文總統的支持率從1月份的56.7%提升至2月份的68.5%,與她在2016年上任後的民調持平。本地電視網絡TVBS對政府的疫情處理給予82%的認可度。
「這表示蔡政府的表現很好。」游董事長表示。

I chose to paint hydrangeas or hortensia in Dutch on this goat because I think hydrangeas is an iconic flower of Giethoorn. Everyone who visits Giethoorn will awed and takes pictures of the hydrangeas and every house 🏡 in Giethoorn will have at least one hydrangeas in their garden.
Bokken Parade is organized by https://ilovegiethoorn.nl/ where villagers or participants in fairytale village Giethoorn (meaning goat hoorn/ 羊角村)pimp goats and set them at their locations. These goats will be at different location forming a “goat parade” cycling 🚲and walking 🚶🏻♀️route . If you scan the QR code you will see the route and following this route you can choose 3 best goats by filling in cards retrieve and submit to any participants, to be one of the 7 winners to be on the “ Gondelvaart” boat parade summer of 2020 in Giethoorn.

Lyrics:
Fly Away
To the sky
Shining bright
Like a sunshine
Dreaming high
Like the stars
Dancing through
With the cloud
And everyday
We search a meaning
Every cloud has silver lining
As long as you are still, breathing
Don’t waste your time
Keep fighting
Even if you drift and fall
Look the mountain, still stand tall
Believe yourself and keep on running
Don’t look back
Stay Dreaming
#7clouds #Dreaming #Lyrics #chill #輕電音
