What is Biblical Parenting?
When we started our homeschooling journey last year, we’ve met a number of homeschooling parents in Singapore. They are also Christian and a number of them rave about this Christian teaching methodology. I, too, desire my children to learn Jesus. So I went online and to find out more about this ‘methodology’. In a short […]
Do I want to go back to ministry? – a reflection
A special shoutout for my wife for putting the kids to sleep so I can write this blog 😀 I will jot a few thoughts about being a stay-at-home dad and someone who used to be in ministry. Today someone asked me this question, “do I want to go back to ministry?” The answer is […]
Good and Good Enough
I had a conversation on FB and I like to share it here. The person wrote the following: Please define good and what is considered as good “enough”. Because we are all work in progress and we will never be good enough. Here’s my response: This is a ‘good’ question. It will be a longer-ish […]
The Subtlety of Pride
As someone with a liver transplant for thirty years, tests were done on me all the time. One common test is the blood test to measure my liver functions and the medication level in my bloodstream. Once in a while, I will have an ultrasound to scan the liver and make sure everything is ok. […]
When work is our idol
The other day, I saw a post about Charles Spurgeon and his work for the Lord. Known as the “Prince of Preachers”, he wrote about 150 books and preached four to ten times every week. This is not including running a megachurch, directing a theological college, ran an orphanage, and oversaw 66 Christian charities. Ok, […]
It Is Not Your Love That Sustains the Marriage – Meaning and Christian Reflection
“It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.” This powerful quote is commonly attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, written in a wedding sermon from prison in 1943. Over the years, it has become one of the most quoted lines in Christian weddings. But what does […]
Hear From God
When I hear speakers talk about how to hear from God, I often hear the importance of worship, to listen and to read the Bible. These aren’t wrong. But one thing that I find very effective in hearing from God is making sure my heart is in the right place.In other words, sins, especially sins […]
Word Study
Last night I was doing a word study from the Bible. It helped me answer some questions I had, and at the same time, I have more questions I haven’t thought of before. A long time ago, a teacher once said that the more you dig into the Bible, the deeper it goes, and you […]
A Disciplined Life
Today, Ps Yang preached on the need to persevere, especially in the end times. A portion of his sermon he focused on the need to live a disciplined life. When I was training for Ironman, I was super disciplined. In order to eat healthily, I went down the aisle to find the cereal with the […]
God of the ORdinary (and Extraordinary)
Jesus has done many miracles and taught with great wisdom. Yet, one thing that continued to astonish me is Jesus washing the feet of the disciples. It is so ordinary. It is so mundane. It is so low. Yet, Jesus did it without hesitation. I love how John described this scene in John 13. First, […]
