头盔先生(Mr Helmet)








生命有时候不就是尤如这组漫画里所表达的那样吗?
很多时候我们费尽心思,想方设法保护自己免受伤害(漫画里主人翁的头盔),但至终却发觉充其量只能让自己免于那麽一丁点儿的小伤害(一颗小石头)...但神是万能的!他让万物互相效力,最终却能让我们免于大害(大石头)。

Three Nails

"Three Nails", Ink on Paper, 2007. (Private Collection)


I remember before I did this drawing, I was thinking - ever since year 2001 when I began to do a lot of illustrations for schools, I never had chance to show to people because they were all confidential. (Ha! Maybe only school students have had the chance to see them, especially during their examination time.)

So eventually I tell myself: I want to use the similar type of school-illustration images (or we can call it "style") to do this drawing... So, as you can see, the forms and shapes of the figures are very "school-like"...right? Ha!Ha!

The Christian Fellowship

"The Christian Fellowship", Acrylic on Canvas, 2006. (Private Collection)


Ha! Many people like this painting very much! Some people even comment that most of the cakes I have created look like local cakes instead of "international" variety!
Painting shows that Christians resting in Christ will lead to developing sweet character(like a piece of sweet cake) and also can benefit one another...
Yesterday I was celebrating Christmas with many brothers- and sisters-in-Christ at a couple's house. From the beginning till the end of the celebration, the whole scenario was similar to this painting-"Sweet Christian Fellowship!"

Fruitful John

"Fruitful John", Acrylic on Canvas, 2005, ( Private Collection)


"We love him, because he first loved us." (1 John 4:19)
Years ago, I kept asking myself : " Do I love God?" or " I must love God! or else..."
Eventually, I found out that if I always force myself to love God, I am actually putting myself under law! Which means I try very hard to love him...but seem so difficult to love him in my efforts! So in the end, the only way I can do is just simply enjoy and rest in God's love daily... Slowly, I found out - the more I enjoy his love, the more love overflows from me! In the end, I can just love him naturally and sometimes not aware of it!

多管闲事

有一等人,专爱管闲事。

跟这等人交往,就算是同桌吃一顿饭也感到压力重重!

首先,他们会非常仔细观察你的一举一动,稍微发现有不顺眼的地方,便会对你进行批评!——这批评是按照他(她)们的个人标准而定的。

批评完毕,便对你说:“这是为了你好!”(这时你已被他(她)们搞得在众人面前显得非常尴尬了!)试问爱做这等事的朋友:“这真是为了对方好吗?”是否知道你(们)这麽做是在为对方立下许多“应该做这!不应该做那!”的“律法”?给对方打上一张不合格的成绩单?(感谢主!在上帝眼里我永远合格。)而且是否有为别人的处境,面子及自尊心着想?更甚的是有些还会向你瞪眼睛,张开狮子口(狮子乃是象征王者,这里比作有的人觉得自己比皇帝老爷还大!)向你叫骂:“你不该讲这话或那话!”感觉上讲话也得看人的脸色讲...为这事,在几个月前我已疏远了一名朋友,不再交往了...。

若你是喜欢做这等事的朋友,我劝你并希望你知道:“没有人是完美的!若果我的态度或谈吐是极度令你反感的话...与其当面令我难堪(事实是你这麽做只会令事情变得更糟!)为何不选择在背地里为我进行祈祷祝福呢?你的恩典在哪里?”


上图:真正的王者——狮子(这里指“基督”)对人表现出爱心,用爱来吸引人亲近他,而非应用王的权柄来审判人。
