Deep down in your heart….

D

An interesting conversation tonight at Tim Horton… Pastor:  So what’s deep down in your heart.  What do you want to do? Me: To share the gospel. Pastor: Have you go shared it with people down the street? Me: No….(then went on telling about R who live on the street in his wheelchair and D who I have pho with and became got Baptized earlier this month). Pastor: Is that...

Unexpected Encouragement

U

Sometimes encouragement comes from unexpected ways.. On Sat night, we had gym night for the University Fellowship.  Before we head off to eat, I decided to do a little sharing from John 15 (the vine and the branch).  I relate to how I am going Singapore for a mission role.  Someone brought some guests to our gym night and one of the guests afterwards came over and pray for me...

Keep Moving

K

I know this blog has been pretty quiet lately.  The past few posts I felt that I didn’t really shared what’s going on in my life. Snipped in a devotion here.  Shared a random thought there. In reality, the past few months were very busy.  Looking back from Jan till May, it felt like everyday there was something to do.  Between juggling ministries, application for...

When in doubt…

W

If you are following God….or in pursuit of Him…or when He called you…. in those times when you are in doubt…. it is not a reason to stop… rather, the feeling of doubt and uncertainty is more of a reason to keep going. …I know I know..this post is quite vague…will explain later… For now…need to take a bigger step…move forward..not slow...

Ministry Success and Personal Relationship with God

M

A quick thought at the airport before I fly to Boston/Rhode Island for the weekend. We should never equate success of ministry with our relationship with God.  It is dangerous to think that we are close to God when there are plenty of fruits in our ministry (aka conversions, numbers showing up, people are interested in hearing about Jesus etc.)  These are all prompted and led by the...

Devotion: Alone at your “Jordan”, your “Jericho”, and your “Bethel”

D

I found yesterday’s devotion particularly relate-able. It is not wrong for you to depend on your “Elijah” for as long as God gives him to you. But remember that the time will come when he must leave and will no longer be your guide and your leader, because God does not intend for him to stay. Even the thought of that causes you to say, “I cannot continue without my ’Elijah.’ ” Yet God...

Giving up stuff

G

“Do you really need to sell your bike? Can’t you bring it to Singapore?” This is probably the most frequently asked questions lately.  Why do you need to sell your bike? Just bring it over to Singapore.  You can still ride it there. I love my bike. I love my Cervelo Dual.  It is my first tri bike. I still remembered the golden days when I am more fit and could rip...

Not ability but of poverty

N

A devotion I had been reflecting on for a while… We tend to say that because a person has natural ability, he will make a good Christian. It is not a matter of our equipment, but a matter of our poverty; not of what we bring with us, but of what God puts into us; not a matter of natural virtues, of strength of character, of knowledge, or of experience— all of that is of no avail in this...

Encouragement

E

I was digging through some of my old stuff and found this note… Date: Nov 05 Dear Cliff, Julian and I would like to help you with fixing your teeth. We know that you don’t have a dental plan and it’ll be very expensive. I know it’s not too much but I hope the enclosed cheque does help. I am so encouraged by your attitude Cliff. You are so positive and faithful. Though you...

Procrasination

P

There are a few things I need to do.  Forms I need to fill.  Letters I need to write. Why am I procrastinate? Busy-ness? Of course.  Tired? Maybe. I think deep down it is because these forms and letters are a clear indication that things will change in a few months.  The Lord has opened the doors and I am stepping through them.  Ok, maybe stepping through in...
