Desire
A desire to see God working among the world. A desire to see heaven coming down. A desire to see bring fourth justice and free the oppress. A desire to clothe the naked and to feed the hungry. A desire to rejoice in the hope of a better World. ….it is this desire that keep […]
Religion causes wars
As a Christian, there were conversations in which I have to defend what I believe in. Often times, it is focus on attack on religion. Perhaps this is the outset of living in a post modern world. Where people tend to suspect institutions and organizations of all sorts. I remember a while back my friend, […]
Intentional spending
Today is Thanksgiving in Canada. I went on a ride. It was rather breezy and I put on my winter gears to keep me warm. Because of the holiday, the roads were empty. It was a cyclist heaven. I weave in and out of the streets of Mississauga which normally were packed with traffic. Instead […]
Contest the Good Contest
12Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, […]
Share the Good News!
When it’s all said and done..more is said. That was my response to a friend a while ago over the topic of evangelism and outreach in our local church. We study the passage to death (Matthew 28:18-20). We have events to fire up people to go out and share the Good News. We have group […]
What did you do?
In my church, we had a new English pastor for 6 months now. Before him, we were without a pastor for about a year and a half. A friend once asked us how we got a new English pastor. I replied that we prayed really hard. We prayed every Wed (our weekly prayer meeting) and […]
Future and distant future
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. – C S Lewis What Jesus (Matthew 6:25-34) […]
How do one know…
How do I know what I enjoy is what God wants rather than what I, selfish, fleshly desires? What if what I am ‘enjoying’ doing is from my fleshly desire? How does one discern that than what glorify God?
Persecution
I read this from Challies.com. It is a post from a passage from a book, Calvin. It focused in the 1500s when Protestants were systematically persecuted by the Catholic Church: I saw two burnt there. Their death inspired in me differing sentiments. If you had been there, you would have hoped for a less severe […]
What I miss from Australia
It has been about 2-3 weeks back here in Mississauga and things are back to normal. What I miss from Australia is that every thing I did, even the small thing, like finding my way in Brisbane transit, I feel great accomplishment and grateful. Maybe because it was new experience. I should see things differently […]
