Last night, a friend of mine asked me why God is so inefficient, choosing this bunch of people who turned to sin so often, how come He doesn't do things in a better way?
God doesn't want "efficiency" like what we want, He has His own plans, better plans. That's why it is ridiculous when modern churches tried to do things like commercial firms. =P
And interesting point she raised is that Jesus chose to come 2000 years ago, when there was no TV, no internet =P, that is why she doesn't think TV evangelism is a good way of spreading the Gospel. haha!
sigh... I have always thought our way of dealing with the Gospel is not good. "God is love, we have sinned, we have to repent and get eternal life" is only a partial view of the Good News from Jesus, I think this is more of a package for the West.
The parts we have neglected may appeal to the practicality of Chinese, who are kinda like Jews I think. When will we get the more complete picture?? hmm...
