Just got my "PH.D Degree"!


I am sure that others might wonder how did I get the "PH.D Degree" without going to school. I have written several posts about The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott.

Well, I will have to confess that to study The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott does required to have PH.D degree. It is the hardest books I ever had read. I had learned a lot and will continue to learn a lot more later when I reread that book again. It will not be that soon to read it again. It is a very challenging book to read and over my head too.

I am looking forward to read The Peacemaker by Ken Sande, Lord willing. I don't have that book yet and hope to be able to borrow that book if I can. Of course, I will not be able to mark it up. I do hope this one will be easy for me to study and learn from. Also I am looking forward to another book after this one too.

I would encourage you all to be involve in a Theology Study. At our church, we do have Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast. It is wonderful to learn a lot in that. Maybe you can start one in your own church family or with your Christian circle who doesn't go to the same church as you do. You will be very amazing how much you will learned from this kind of Theology Study

I have a lot to learn!

I do need to get a PH.D degree!

Yep! I do need to get a PH.D degree. Why? Because I am currently reading The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott. It is a very challenging book to read with a lot of history and argument that we don't normally hear about. Although, I am enjoying reading and learning from it. Still, I haven't quite got the hold of understanding the argument and the pro and the con the argument in his book.

I do wish that he had written it for us, normal people without degree that doesn't need to know about the argument of the belief.

Anselm is mention a lot in there. I truly enjoying learning more about Anselm since my kitty-cat is named after him. Its mostly talked about Why God Became Man (Cur Deus Homo?)

I have learned a lot of the history about The Cross of Christ, and its purpose and how people relate to that. It is very interesting to see how people see the purpose of the Cross of Christ differently than I do.

Right now, I am on chapter nine and still have a long way to go.

The Cross of Christ #2

Today we had Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast, and it was wonderful. I did like to share with you all my pastor's link about this: The Cross of Christ.

This was a very challenge chapter to read. A lot different from reading John Piper's book.

I am looking forward to read the next chapter that is Why did Christ die? That is the 2nd chapter.

Hungry to learn more and to eat His Word,

The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott

I am currently reading The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott. One of my wonderful church family gave me this book, and I am so thankful for a wonderful friend.

Right now, I am in the first chapter. WHOA! What a lot of information to learn from that! I know that I am looking forward to be part of the Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast with my wonderful church family. We are studying this for Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast together with the questions in the back of the book (especially if you have the 20th edition).

In the first chapter is full of the history about the cross and most of it I never had known about the history of it. Wow! It also explained about the cross and tree and about why Christ die for us and His purpose too. It is also full of scriptures for us to look up and some are quoted in the book.

I haven't finished the first chapter yet. It is a very long chapter. I know that I got a lot to learn as I am reading this book.

I would encourage you all to read this book too.

I am hungry to learn more from The Cross of Christ and hungry to eat His Word too!
