The campaign event and dinner party for Kenny Guinn to be the Governor of Nevada in 1998 was a big success with Dr. Tony Lei's invitation of 100 guests including business owners, community leaders, professional executives, educational administrators, and multimedia representatives. In order to advance the proclamation and creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), it has also launched and participated a series of event and dinner parties for a special tribute to the people who contribute to the promotion of the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada. WBTI emphasizes the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit since its establishment in January 8, 1996. Feature articles had published by "Nevada Examiner", "Seniors United Highlights Maganzine", and among others for many times to unite all the Asian American communities for the event and party to pay a special tribute to Harry Reid as U. S. Senator and Majority Whip of the Senate initiated by WBTI. In perspective, we need to follow the above two examples of the united forces of all our Asian Americans to win the recognition by the Mainstream of our efforts and wisdom for our community involvement in Nevada. Viewing the following record, it is encouraged that we all the Asian Americans did build our "Great Wall" in this Silver State for community involvement:

1 Timothy 1:1-2

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope, To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
By Paul saying, "Timothy my true son in the faith", we see the relationship between Timothy and Paul is very close. This close relationship is seen in a couple of different ways. First, Timothy is led to the Lord by Paul. Paul meets Timothy while he is preaching the gospel in Lystra. Timothy's mother is a Jew and father is a Greek. From his childhood, Timothy has been influenced by his mother and has a desire for God. When Paul preaches the gospel to him, he opens his heart to God and commits himself to follow God.
Second, Timothy follows Paul. During Paul's evangelistic travels, Timothy is always a faithful coworker. Where Paul goes, Timothy also follows him there. Later, Paul assigns Timothy to stay in the Ephesian church. Timothy obediently accepts his assignment and understands how to co-work with other people. Therefore, Paul calls him his true son in the faith. I believe this is because of Timothy's faithfulness and obedience.
Do you know how to co-work with other people? When we serve, we often regard ourselves highly, each person has his own opinion, and no one submits to anyone. This has caused hindrance to the expansion of God's work. The first step in serving God is to begin by serving people. In the early days of seminary, as part of the first year course, the students are assigned to clean toilets and serve in the kitchen. This is because a person who doesn't know how to serve others cannot become a person who serves God.
Third, Timothy depends on God. The root word of Timothy means "timid". By his original nature, Timothy is not a courageous person. Many times Paul encourages Timothy to be strong and courageous and not be afraid. Not only is Timothy's personality not courageous, but his body is not that strong as well. This is why Paul urges him to drink some wine because his stomach is not very good. However, this person the world regards as weak becomes an instrument greatly used by God in the early church. It is because Timothy depends on God. By depending on God, we can turn from weakness to strength, from fear to peace.
When Paul writes this letter, Timothy is serving in the Ephesian church. At the time, Ephesus is the most difficult place to share the gospel. Even though Timothy is in a very difficult situation, yet he depends on God and overcomes all the attacks of the enemy. Can we also learn from the example of Timothy in his faithfulness, obedience, and dependence on God?
LVRJ/wbti: Pray with Pastor Tong --Dear Lord, please teach me to serve humbly and co-work with others. Help me understand before I can serve you I need to first go serve others. Give me a heart committed to serve and an attitude of a servant, so that I may be pleasing in your sight. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!

1 Timothy 1:3-4

As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work-which is by faith.

Paul reminds Timothy to admonish those who teach in the church. First, they should not teach heresy. What is heresy? The simplest way to discern heresy is to use the following four questions:

First, do they believe in the Trinity? This is critically important in our faith. If they do not acknowledge the truth of the Trinity, they do not acknowledge Jesus' equality with God. Then Jesus is not God and cannot be our Lord and Savior.

Second, do they believe in Jesus' incarnation? There are many people who don't believe in the incarnation. They only believe that Jesus has been deified by people, like Guan Gong and Matsu in China. If Jesus is only a man, he can't save himself, at the most is only a great person, and cannot be our Lord and Savior.

Third, do they believe the Bible is the revelation from God and is complete? Many heresies add another book outside of the Bible, and often use that book in place of the Bible. In fact, the Bible is the foundation of our entire faith. If one leaves God's word, they will stumble in their faith because they are building their faith on the sand.

Fourth, do they believe in justification by faith? Many heresies teach justification by "works", because people like to be justified by works. They like to use works to prove their faith, to show "I can do it", and it is easy for them to feel they are perfect. In reality, no matter how good the "works" are, there is no way we can stand on them, because they are just like filthy rags before a Holy God. Salvation is never by works but by faith, being willing to believe in the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Next, Paul reminds Timothy to teach the people not to listen to myths and endless genealogies, because they are just words and man's regulations. They only make people prideful, arrogant, and self-righteousness. Also, they lead to controversies because everyone thinks they are right. But for a person who knows the truth, he will only humble himself to receive the truth. What is the foundation which you are building your faith on? Is it on man's traditions? Is it on experiences? Or is it on doctrinal teachings? If a person doesn't build his faith on the living word of God, it is easy for him to stumble in the faith journey. May God help us!

LVRJ/wbti: Pray with Pastor Tong -- Dear Lord, I thank you because your word is the foundation of my faith. Your word is the lamp for my feet and light on my path, the guide for my daily life. Lord, please give me a humble and teachable heart to receive you word and obey you more in my life. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!
