Worship and Theology 敬拜與神學

Joshua Law

Professor Joshua Law teaches voice, choir and East Asian music at CCSF since 1972. As a boy, Joshua was fond of singing. He found interest in music in his preteen years when he started to learn to play the piano from his cousin Julia, sang in a church choir, learned music theory from his choir director Jenny K. Wong. Joshua began his music life as a violin player at his high school orchestra. He played trumpet as a teenager and started cello lessons in college because the small college orchestra needed one cellist. He was given free voice lessons in exchange for correcting music theory papers for a voice teacher. At his senior year at college, majoring in Social Work, he won first place in a city wide singing contest that landed him an European tour immediately after his graduation. Joshua was accepted into the graduate music program at Cal State L. A. from which he got his master's degree in music studying voice with Esther Andreas and William Vennard. He is specialized in voice pedagogy and was selected as a vocal workshop singer by Richard Miller. In addition to playing the above mentioned musical instruments, Joshua plays the baritone horn, the trombone, the saxophone and a number of other instruments. Joshua performed, in numerous occasions, leading roles in operas and oratorios, directed oratorio productions and Broadway shows, sang solo concerts, produced many concerts and many music for radio and TV programs and served in numerous singing contests as chief judge. Being known as an excellent vocalist and choir director, Joshua was invited by local and international churches for advice and workshops. To equip himself for such frequent invitations, he had pursued theological education which gave him two more post graduate degrees in theology and pastoral ministry. He maintains a piano tuning and rebuilding workshop at his house and in frequent occasions is invited to give sermons in churches, lectures on the principles and practices of church music all over this country, in Asia, South America and Canada.

與神和好 — 羅天樂英著漢譯

與神和好 羅天樂英著漢譯

『與神和好』,在希臘原文的意思,是『向神在基本的思想,感情,意志,態度上徹底的改變』。我們原來是和神出了事的,所以我們需要向神有一個徹底的改變。我們向神徹底的改變,就是我們與神和好。

請我們注意,聖經沒有說神與我們和好,只說我們與神和好。因為神從來沒有和我們出過事,所以祂不需要與我們和好;乃是我們和祂出了事,所以我們需要與祂和好。因此祂要救我們,就在祂的救恩裏,特別為我們作事,好使我們與祂和好。
