This past week there is some god who is being celebrated here in Tainan. I am
not sure which one.
But, there has been lots and lots of temple activity going on for about two weeks now. For the past week, each night from my study window I have seen about five different firework shows from various temples. One was only one street in front of my apartment.
The fireworks were awesome; the reason behind them heartbreaking. Banquets, burning paper money, fireworks, and lots of worship . . . it is heartbreaking.
"Their land is filled with idols;
they bow down to the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made" (Isaiah 2:8).
"I am the Lord; that is my name;
my glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to carved idols" (Isaiah 42:8).
