Engage the culture
I was thinking the way I share the gospel. I rather how often I use church terms and lingos to talk to unbelievers. I remember one time I use the word fellowship and the other person scroff and said, ‘What was that…Lord of the rings?’ Too true too true. I don’t think non-believers care about […]
My King is moving
Today I attended BASIC Toronto’s Conference call Heart Matters in the City. It is a youth worship conference to rally them to love the city as Jesus would. Through the worship, all I can think about is Open Door and Mississauga. I was listening to Reggie McNeal the other day. He was talking about the […]
Prayer Jog…walk!?!
Yesterday, I decided to go out for a jog. I am very out of shape. I haven’t run since the Half Ironman I did a week and a half ago. Fitness drops sharply when we don’t exercise. A jog quickly become a puffing content and I decided to walk instead. As I walked around my […]
Health of a fellowship
I was speaking with my fellowship leader earlier this week. We were talking about the health of the fellowship. The question is how do you define if your fellowship is successful? By numbers? By committed people? By how many people show up? By the growth of the fellowship? As often as it sounds, I do […]
Racing and Christian Living
It is hard for me to describe the connection between racing and being a Christian. Found this from Eric Liddell…. “I want to compare faith to running in a race. It’s hard. It requires concentration of will, energy of soul. You experience elation when the winner breaks the tape – especially if you’ve got a […]
Pain, suffering and Christ follower
I have been doing triathlon for four years. Looking back, I changed quite a bit on my approach in how I train. In this season, I am working on more intense sessions. Time wise they are shorter but they are much more ‘painful’. I am sharing about this pain is because it relates to living […]
To serve…to love…
Once a month, some Christian friends and I go to Open Door to help out. On Thurs night, they serve food to anyone who wants it. The tiny room is usually packed with hungry parents, the elderly and kids. For the past two months, I was in charge of organising games after they had dinner. […]
Sharing the Gospel in the Gay Village
Picked this up from Challies.com. It is his pastor friend sharing how he is sharing the Gospel in Toronto’s gay community. He ended with: I do all this because I love the LGBT community. They are a community comprised of individual eternal souls. Sadly, they are culture that has almost no contact with biblical Christianity […]
A passion for the city
Tonight I had a great privilege to be part of the a short term mission training in my church. It was a spirit-filled time. Lots of laughter, sharing and praying. The team is made up of majority youths and I am excited to see the values we are instilling among the youths (that prayer is […]
Thankful
I am thankful that I have brothers and sisters whom I can serve among… I am thankful that we all desire to be Biblical base and Christ centered… I am thankful for having a church that I can grow… I am thankful for the Holy Spirit. Who dwell among us and convict us of right […]
