The Third Meeting

Dear fellow Whinklings,
what an awesome Wednesday night it was! :)
I am so grateful that our God has provided us this opportunity to discuss frankly about our thoughts on Ryan's topic: Sexuality and Christianity.
There were a lot of questions that appeared during the meeting and I provided you some of them.

Theological Questions
1. Is homosexuality born with or not?
2. Can God, through His supernatural power, eliminate homosexuality?
3. Can men reach the point where they become completely free from being sinful, that is homosexual?
4. I homosexuality different from other sin? (In the meeting, some people believed that homosexuality touches the core party of human being as it involves relationship)
5. Is there a hierarchical structure of sin? In other words, is one sin worse than the other or do all sins weigh the same?
6. Can true love be established through homosexual love?

Psychological Questions
1. How would my perspective on homosexuality influence my clinical practice?

In the third meeting, we mainly focused on the theological implication in homosexuality. We hope that in any of the upcoming meeting, we could focus more on the psychological implication.

My respectable Whinklings!
Here are the things that you should remember to do before the next meeting.
1. Our next meeting will be held in Karisa's house on Wednesday 7:30 pm.
2. We need your mission statement! Please think of one to share in the meeting.
3. Our next topic will be Karsten's I dunno yet~ :) Once I receive the topic, I will post it in the blog.

Thank you so much for being such wonderful supporters!
Truly, God is working through you and we, as a community in Christ, praise for His marvelous work through us!

From the Whinklings.

The Second Meeting

Dear fellow Whinklings,
Last Monday, the first Whinklings meeting was held! Yeah~~~~
Although the weather was a little unfavorable to our taste, it could not prevent us from enjoying those wonderfully-grilled hot dogs, those mouth-watering Heineken beers, that amazing bonfire, and of course!!! Those intellectually and spiritually stimulating discussions! :)
Because few Whinklings could not attend the first meeting, we decided to present each Whinklings' mission statements in the upcoming one.
There are three things to remember!
1) The next meeting will be held on May 26, 7:30 pm at Karisa's house.
2) Ryan will present his second integration paper and we courteously ask all the Whinklings to read his paper before attending the meeting (his paper is attached in the second post). After Ryan's presentation, we will have time to discuss his ideas and ask questions.
3) Bring your mission statement for the Whinklings.

Thank you so much for your prayer and support!
Through the Whinklings, may only our God be glorified.
God bless you all!

Yours sincerely,
the Whinklings
