George spends some time sharing his thoughts about Bible interpretation and his views on why some scripture may not be used to justify a point.  He catches up from last week and discusses Leviticus 18:22 / Romans and feels this may not be scripture that can be used against homosexuality. Pastor Ong announced he would continue with Romans during his sermon for the day. The audio version of  Pastor's sermon's  is available on the FCBC website: http://www.fcbc-sf.org/sermons/pdf/list.pdf http://www.fcbc-sf.org/sermons/audio/Sermon_060318.mp3 Pastor Ong says, continue to listen to each other, even if we believe we are right.

In the beginning was the word 2. And The  word was with God 3. And The word was God 4. And The word became flesh 4. And he lived among us.

Victor's father came to America in 1905. He worked for 15 years in America and went back to China and brought his wife over when he was 31 and his wife was 18 at the time. He was able to return to San Francisco while Victor's mom lived on Angel Island for 10 days before moving here. Victor is the only boy of 8 children and he didn't really know his father very well. He was very busy working different jobs and fortunately, Victor spent much of his time growing up at the Chinatown YMCA. Years later, Victor and his sisters honored him by installing a plaque with his name and their mother's name on a wall on Angel Island. Victor spoke about his appreciation for the life his father gave to him here in San Francisco and remembers the sacrifices made knowing his Dad worked very hard to provide for his 8 children and hoped the family would have a better life here. Everyone broke into groups and was given an opportunity to share thoughts about their father. He ask...
