Ryan O'Connor's Journal: Chinese language update in the war
http://ryanoc.blogspot.com/2009/07/chinese-update.html
A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Thursday, July 9, 2009. Chinese language update in the war. So learning Chinese is going pretty well. It's a lot easier to pick up new words now. I've been chatting to people online using livemocha. Which is a pretty sweet free language learning tool. Things are going pretty well, I can have simple conversations, and share about God's love for people as the reason I'm learning. Posted by Ryan O'Connor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ryan O'Connor's Journal: Ryan's daily prayer
http://ryanoc.blogspot.com/2009/07/ryans-daily-prayer.html
A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Lord, help me to embrace suffering and not pursue comfort in this life. Give me a heart that is willing to endure through life and death for you. Make me strong in the midst of spiritual battles that I can’t see. Thank you for your wounds, taken for me; they are your glorious trophies and honour. Thank you for your sacrificial love; who am I that you gave your life for me? Thank you for your absolute holiness. Fill me, lead me, a...

A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Thursday, March 20, 2008. Faith, what is it? I was reading back into some of Charles H. Spurgeon's teachings "All of Grace" in e-sword, of which there is a very nice rendition here: http:/ www.spurgeon.org/all of g.htm, and I came accross this in Chapter 8 "Faith, what is it? About half way through:. Posted by Ryan O'Connor. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. The Strength of a Man. The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders. 169; July 15, 1999.

Ryan O'Connor's Journal: How does Satan speak to us?
http://ryanoc.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-does-satan-speak-to-us.html
A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. How does Satan speak to us? Do you have any "negative self talk"? What do you say to yourself when no one else is listening? There is a war waging there. A very real war. But did you notice, the lies so often come in the 3rd person. Do I always refer to myself in the 3rd person? No Why then do these thoughts or voices in my head talk to me as though someone else is saying them to me? Not only does God speak to us, but there are dae...

A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Thursday, September 24, 2009. The curse of gorse. Gen 3:16 To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.". Gen 3:18 "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field;. What do you do when there's a recession and your company goes bankrupt or you get made redundant? Why are men often s...

Ryan O'Connor's Journal: November 2007
http://ryanoc.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Monday, November 5, 2007. Well, I'm going to try and keep blogging to hold myself accountable to learning. While support raising efforts are maxed out, I'm not necessarily growing spiritually anymore. This is pretty critical; actually, I believe it to be the most important thing on earth. So I need to do it. I was a little put off by blogging because I know that I will be judged more strictly if I teach. And so I don't want to teach wrongly!

A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. I didn't really know him, but I lead him in prayer for Christ to come into his life and forgive him of his sins (knowing it's his heart that God is really concerned about). Praise the Lord! I explained how Christ would never leave him according to the scriptures, and we did a little bible study on confession. I'll follow him up tomorrow with some more assurance of salvation material. What a wicked decision!

A missionary's life at the University of Waikato. Thursday, July 23, 2009. The Great Commission in-depth. I've been studying the so-called Great Commission. Many believers quote the last couple of verses in the book of Matthew as a consistent reference that we should take the initiative and share our faith. But does this verse in Matthew teach that? And was this really Jesus' last words? Mk 16:15 (pt 1). AND HE SAID (TO) THEM,. Mt 28:19 (pt 1), ref Mk 16:15 (pt 2). Mt 28:19 (pt 2). Mk 16:15 (pt 3). NASB)...
