Slowing Down
I love getting stuff done and getting them done fast. There is no better feeling than checking off my to-do list. I quickly learn that when I take my girls out, I have to slow down. Life is not about rushing to get stuff done. Instead, it is finding opportunities in the ordinary day to […]
Not Going Back
“How come you are not interested in pornography?” Of all the questions I can think of, this one is not what I expected from my wife. I watched porn during University. I wasn’t a believer then, and it was so easy to download off the internet. After a while, I loss interested in it. I […]
Sowing Into My Children
Investing in Your Children Spiritually (Even When It Feels Small) When I first became a stay-at-home dad, I struggled with something I didn’t expect. I felt… unproductive. No meetings.No milestones.No obvious results. Just diapers, meals, messes, and repeat. It honestly felt like I wasn’t doing anything meaningful. But over time, God began to shift my […]

Walking Rightly
This was written a few days before we moved to Singapore.…We are currently in the midst of transiting from Canada to Singapore. I did the same thing back in 2011, and I thought it was difficult. Now having two kids, I realized ‘difficult’ is a matter of perspective. In the past two months, there were […]
My Goal is God Himself
My goal is God Himself, not joy nor peace,Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God. Taken from today’s Utmost devotion.
Influence
It is not uncommon for Christians to bless one another to be “people of influence.” What is influence? What does it mean in God’s eyes compared to how the world sees it? Influence may be defined as: the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on […]
Quote: A. B. Simpson on renouncing our rights
I solemnly believe that most of the blessings that have been given to me in my life and ministry have come because of the evil things people have said of me, and because God made me willing to allow them to say them.A. B. Simpson
