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 […]
Using terms loosely
Had a rather interesting conversation with a brother last night… One topic that came up was that terms were often use without a full understanding of them… for example.. mission, missional, counter cultural (with respect of being a Christian). Even the word Glory and praise…. hmmm…. I will add some jargon in there….how about eschatology […]

Tour De France I hope Lance Armstrong trains hard next year. Forget about Contador. Richard is going to own the mountains.
Holy Spirit and Fellowship
After being back to Canada for about a week, a part of me still misses Australia. Perhap not so of the geographic area (I still love those beaches). More so of the quiet time and the freedom I have. I am leaning more that perhaps this is a sign that I am carrying too much […]
Transplant Games Pictures I am back home for a week and slowly getting adjusted back to the chilly Canadian weather. Here’s a few pictures from the Transplant Games. This is Captain Canada and taken before my 5 km run race. He was standing about a km from the finish line and yelled at me, ‘Cliff, […]
Rich and poor
Last night, I was sharing with a friend that I still have trouble explaining how come Christians are living with so much wealth when there is so much poverty and oppression in the world. Luke 16:13
What I thought was small…
I was at Open Door last night sorting clothes. I was speaking with a lady who regularly attend the dinners which my fellowship served earlier this year. She recognized me and got into a conversation. During the dinner, we organized a Bingo game to get everyone involved. To be honest, I didn’t thought too much […]
What really matters…
This is from a Christian perspective.. At Australia, I was studying Romans 5:6-11 with my friend’s fellowship. 6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8But Goddemonstrates […]
