1 . Body mass and explain in words
Education in ancient China, there is a basic principle: Example is better than precept . Here the so-called education , mainly refers to teaching people how to do a real person. Lewis (CS Lewis) wrote: old education is a heritage : to teach people the truth in life to another person; modern education is merely a propaganda .
Here, we see the Western Education in the Ancient one thing in common : that is to help students become a real person , as the core of education and the highest goal. In the process of achieving this goal , the teacher 's own example , his character , personality, and even manners are very important . That is what he is really the person on the best note .
Education thought of people from the faith , think of the gospel "preaching " the word . "Biography" in addition to " explain in words "(including "T Biography " ) , but also must have a "body mass ": the life of the Road, shown , with my Christian life to manifest the life of our Lord Jesus Christ . Preach the gospel to the people , especially to those familiar with their own people the gospel , the "body mass " more often than " persuasion " is more important. If a hard mass of Christians , is not the exercise of his , that he was preaching , who would dare to believe it?
body mass is more important than explain in words , this is the basic principle of the gospel .

" cast aside the extreme terms of individual forests , such as "never " , in general , his observation is very pertinent . He added: " see a practice of Christ 's mercy , and the concern of every individual Christian, the Christian will often lead me to close a bit . there is no doctrine of unilateral , can be as effective as it unilaterally . " (Note 1 )
on the Mainland Chinese must not forget that people from the mainland for the big, or false , empty , already had enough . They are eager to personally experienced is real love . The reason why some of my friends on the Christian Gospel is offensive , perhaps because he thought he knew that some Christians not very good , not as good as him .
