A lady was advising me to not eat more than two eggs per week. She cited her doctor, supposedly a consultant, for advising that. I eat more than 20 eggs per week. I ignored her ill-informed advice but also amused at the lack of knowledge of a “consultant doctor.”

Granted there was a time when people mistakenly believed that you could ingest cholesterol through eggs orally. This was debunked eons ago. Yet, there are still doctors telling people to avoid eggs. Eggs, incidentally, are a ‘super food’ that is high in a lot of nutrients.

There are always lessons and knowledge that we learnt over the years. As time goes by, situations and technology change. It only gets faster as we move on ahead. Things that were once familiar are now becoming obsolete, for example – coinaphones. Someday even cash will become obsolete.

In short, we must keep learning and improving. Our knowledge base will grow old and outdated as more research data becomes available. There is no place for complacency. Staying put is in reality regressing. Progress or be left behind. And this is coming at you and me at a speed that is unimaginable. It will drive all of us mad.

Brothers and sisters, what is in store in the future if this is the case? Can we even catch up? Will we run out of breath before we catch up or keep getting dragged along? That will likely be the case if we do not have the anchor in our lives. The anchor, my friends, is the Word of God – Jesus Christ. He is the sure and steadfast rock that holds our lives steady. He will never change and is totally trustworthy.

It is time for us, brothers and sisters, to be clear of our beliefs, our stand in Jesus Christ. Without Jesus, we will be left chasing the wind. We will never win. With Jesus, we will be victorious. The world will try to tell us that it is folly to follow Jesus. The reality is that following Jesus is the only way to remain sane and victorious.

God bless,

一名女士建议我在一个星期内不能吃超过两个鸡蛋。她引述她的医生（应该是一名顾问医生）的话向我建议。 我一个星期内吃超过20个鸡蛋。我无视她无知的言论但同时也很惊讶一名 “顾问医生” 的学识不足。

确实有一段时间，大家都错误地相信食用鸡蛋会让你摄取胆固醇，但这说法在好几个世代前都已经被推翻了。然而，还有医生告诉大家要避免鸡蛋。顺带一提，鸡蛋其实是富有大量营养的“超级”食物。

多年以来，我们都学习了不少的学问和知识。年复一年，境况和科技在改变。在我们前进的同时，变化也越来越快。曾经是熟悉的东西如今也被淘汰了，例如——投币电话。有一天甚至连现金也会被淘汰。

简单的说，我们一定要持续地学习及进步。我们的知识库存会随着研究数据的垂手可得而变得陈旧及过时，没有自满的余地。原地踏步实际上就是倒退。进步抑或落后。这一切都在以无法想象的速度冲向你和我。它会令我们抓狂。

弟兄姐妹，如果是这样的情况，未来将会是怎么样的？我们能追得上吗？我们会在追上之前就气喘吁吁，还是继续被拖拉着？如果我们的生命中没有了锚，恐怕就会出现这种情况。我的朋友，锚，就是上帝的话语——耶稣基督。祂稳固支撑我们生命，是即真实又坚定的磐石。祂永不改变且是完全值得信靠的。

弟兄姐妹，是时候坚定我们的信仰，以及在耶稣基督里的立场。没有了耶稣，我们只是捕风。我们永远不会赢。有了耶稣，我们就是得胜的。世界会试图告诉我们，跟随耶稣是愚蠢的。事实上，跟随耶稣是保持明智及胜利的唯一途径。

上帝赐福，
在基督里同工的，
