Discernment: The Long Way
Challies.com gave a great illustration why we need to learn to discern for ourselves. He compare it with doing long division. Sometimes it is the long way that is the right way. No Google. No blogs. No opinions. Just between me, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Long way is never easy. As I always […]
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 […]
In awe
Christmas is coming soon. And as I look back, reflect now, it seems I can be quite a busy body. Busy reading many blogs. Busy reading many books. Busy reading the Bible. Busy moving around. Ministries…meeting up with friends. Last night, I was sharing with a brother that when I think about Christ, I am […]

Gospel Living: From program to lifestyle
Yesterday before service, I was sharing at praying room that I am trying to train people to be not just good at event planning or doing. But rather to be living the gospel as a lifestyle. I don’t think I say all that as I often rumble and say a few things and miss a […]
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 […]
