we saw someone driving out demons in your name

My Sunday Scripture, 2009.9.27

At that time, John said to Jesus,
"Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."
Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
because you belong to Christ,
amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
it would be better for him if a great millstone
were put around his neck
and he were thrown into the sea.
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to enter into life maimed
than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
into the unquenchable fire.
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
It is better for you to enter into life crippled
than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye
than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
where 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'"

Saint Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

My Reading Notes:
------------------
Preventing people to do good deeds, is the major evil nowadays
Only because those people is not in the same sect, then
all their deeds are to be stopped.......

And what does it mean?

It means that those who prevent others doing good, are in fact
not doing anything good at all.

I dont know why my blog is not allowed in China.

I mean no harm, but I am prevented to say anything.
