Remember the poor
For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we […]
Commitment and the Kingdom of God
We never enter into the Kingdom of God by having our head questions answered, but only by commitment. – Oswald Chambers
Blood Pressure, Reassurance and Kingdom Living
My blood pressure has been high for the past 2-3 months. It is up at 150/100. That’s hypertension level 1. Ever since I came back from Cambodia, I made a huge change in my diet and start exercising again. I went to a Pharmacy last night to check my blood pressure. It is the same. I, for […]
Go….
Hanging out with R on the street….reading Jackie Pullinger and her accounts of sharing the gospel in Walled City… … I can still remember that night when I was out on the street in a cold Canadian winter night. I was at Nathan Philip Square. The howling wind made every pedestrian walked faster. It was […]
Five Hundred Dollars
Starcraft 2 is a computer game that came out earlier this week. If you are into computer gaming and real time strategy, this is by far one of the most exciting news for a long time. People are lining up over night, pre-order to get a hold of this game. I really like the original. […]

Dignity
“Why are you giving this to me in this place? Can’t you see there are people I know around here?” – R replied as we are standing in an underground food court. My friend was holding a sleeping bag that was for R. He was offended. A good lesson on dignity. No one enjoys being […]
Lunch
How do you know if you are a Christian? My friend asked me over lunch a while ago. I didn’t have an answer. I simply told him that you know you are a Christian when you know. I thought about that. Not quite the answer I liked. Today, over pho, we talked about being a […]
Intentional spending
Today is Thanksgiving in Canada. I went on a ride. It was rather breezy and I put on my winter gears to keep me warm. Because of the holiday, the roads were empty. It was a cyclist heaven. I weave in and out of the streets of Mississauga which normally were packed with traffic. Instead […]
Share the Good News!
When it’s all said and done..more is said. That was my response to a friend a while ago over the topic of evangelism and outreach in our local church. We study the passage to death (Matthew 28:18-20). We have events to fire up people to go out and share the Good News. We have group […]
