What are the keys? - from key terms in BT to returning the keys to the owners

In Bible translation, one of the key issues is about rendering of key term. How do we define key term. Key terms usually are those Christian or churches' jargons(e.g. church, christ, tabernacle, fellowship) which are significant in understand the theme of the books and the whole Bible.

Bible translation practitioners spend a lot of time and effort to find the best way to re-express these key terms in the target languages. One of the earliest steps doing so is to understand the meaning of the key terms.

In one of the devotional meeting of the 9th CCCOWE meeting in Taipei, the speaker Rev. Edmund Chan invited the participants to give back their keys to the owners. I have no problem with that. However, I have a number of questions, as I am asking about the meaning of these keys:

1. What are these keys?

2. Who owns these keys?

3. Why these keys are at my hands?

4. How do I relate with the owners?

5. What does the owner want me to do with these keys?

6. How can I make good use of these keys according to the owner entrusting them to me?

7. Should I keep the keys or pass them on to someone else? How?

I think some of the answers can be found in Rev. Edmund Chan's book, "A Certain Kind."

Thank you Rev. Chan. Sharing your insight.

Separating spirituality/Sanctuary from daily life

I have been busy traveling in last two months. Around April, I tried to slow down a bit and pay more attention to God's guidance in 50 days. There was no significant change, then I started serving with team but I realize that 50 days should not be the limit. I should always be alert and pay attention to God.

In CCCOWE the exegesis and devotion session of the first day, the speaker Rev. Edmund Chan of IDMC(Intentional Disciple Making Church) was sharing Psalm 73 and inviting people to the sanctuary and refuge. As in John 4 the place of the worship was no longer in Jerusalem nor certain mountain. Before I came to Taiwan for CCCOWE, I brought a booklet, "The practice of the presence of God" from South Asia. As I was asking advice about personal devotion with a founder of a theological college. His told me that his quiet time and prayer life is merging in his daily life. He was kind of surprise himself as he thought he didn't separate his daily ministry and devotional time. Yes, worship, devotion, meditating God's Words, ministry, serving .... should be involuntary part in our life. Yes, we should be aware that there are no different between the sanctuary, refuge, worship and the presence of God. I think the key is to worship with the Spirit and the truth.
