A few people asked us why Uganda given that Uganda is Christianized. Since the 1800s, Christian missionaries have been to Uganda to share the gospel. If you asked most of the locals their religion, they will call themselves Christians. So why we are here if most of Uganda is already reached? On our recce trip to Uganda back in February, I stumbled upon the local news that in Northern Uganda there...
Wai Jia and I brought a number of books to Uganda. One of them is Most Important Year in a Woman’s Life, The/The Most Important Year in a Man’s Life by Robert and Bobbie Wolgemuth. The whole premise of this book is to emphasize the first year of marriage as the most important investment for the couple. This is actually two books, one for the groom and one for the bride. Even though we...
Bible Society published an article on how you can help the Christians getting persecuted in Iraq. One of the ways to help is to write to your MP (Member of Parliament). I never written to my MP before. Sometimes I get stuck with the idea that writing one letter will not make a difference in light of what’s going on. However, I decided this time I needed to do my part and voice out for...
“Cliff, I think there is a man lying on the road.” Wai Jia said this morning as we were driving to church. Last month I preached on loving your neighbours using the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10). I ended off the sermon describing how I avoided someone who needed help with his car because I was rushing back to church in Canada. It was deja vu all over again. Except this time...
If God is Soverign, how can we have free will? If God is in control of everything, doesn’t that mean we really don’t have free will? How do we answer to that? God is Soverign and He is in control of everything. At the same time, we all have free will and we can make our own decision whether to follow Him or not. Does it sound irrational? Doesn’t make sense? Or even a bit...
This is taken from Oswald Chambers’ So I send You & Workmen of God. How to go – Acts 1:8 There is always the danger of starting up false enthusiasm in missionary work. “Oh yes, I will go; where shall I go?” That is like making a false start in a race and having to go back to the starting point. Our Lord’s word go simply means live, and Acts 1:8 describes the...
I remember when I was younger, when I was still in University. As a guy, 90% the time we think about is how to impress girls. What to wear. What to say. How to act. In fact, my friend and I bought this eBook on how to get the girl of our dreams. It is all about how to act like the alpha male in the room. The book gives every detail from what to say, what to wear, what flowers to get, how to play...
This post will make some Christians feel uncomfortable. I like to talk about my experiences with prophecy. To some Christians, especially Evangelicals, they believe that with the death of the Apostles, certain gifts of the Holy Spirit creased. They are known as Cessationism. If you are Charismatic, you will believe that the gifts ain’t cease and miracles still happen today (known as...
Prayer to us is not practical, it is stupid, and until we do see that prayer is stupid, stupid from the ordinary, natural, common sense point of view, we will never pray. But that is what Jesus says He will do. It sounds stupid, but it is a stupidity based on His redemption. The reason that our prayers are not answered is that we are not stupid enough to believe what Jesus says. It is a child...
