Man Up on Relationship
I figure I jot this down while the thoughts are still fresh in my head (and in my heart)…. I’ve been through a number of discussion, especially with the male counterparts, about what it means to be Christian man. I often joke that as guys we grunt, eat meat or other male stereotypes. Sometimes, the […]
Blogging and transition
I haven’t blogging as much. I have a few blog posts saved. A few thoughts started. But never finished. Being in Singapore, I have Internet connection on my phone, with an Internet stick, at home and at work. Yet, to sit still and formulate a thought (or a post), is rare. I am learning again […]
Embrace Trials
One of the tips given on the mission field is that the greatest challenge is not reaching those who do not know Christ, it is working with the team on the field. Because the team can be formed from various of backgrounds, values, cultures, expectations and denominations, your team can be a great source of […]
Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God
This post title was a replied from a Pharisee or an expert in Luke 14 after Jesus said to the host to invite those who cannot pay them back. It is quite ironic as I read the chapter tonight that there are those who God invited to come to feast with Him are not interested. […]
Rest for your souls
Sometimes in life we face disappointment and frustrations. Sometimes it is our own doing. Sometimes it is as if we are not in control. Upon reflecting my own personal struggles right now (too personal to share right now), a missionary friend of my mine lost her brother in Vietnam. Her and her brother (and the […]
They arrived!
A month ago, I purchased ten Bibles and shipped them to Nigeria to help a Christian brother out. I blogged about it and shared how hard it was for me to do so. The Bibles took a month to get to Nigeria. Since I ordered it, I often wondered if they would get there. Because […]
He has risen!
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who […]
Good Friday
Surely this man was the Son of God! Said the centurion as he saw Jesus dying on the cross. When you look at Jesus through the lens of Mark the Gospel, you will see full of ironies. Jesus repeated three times He would died on the cross to His disciples (Mark 8:31, 9:31, 10:33), yet […]
Ten Bibles and Seeking His Kingdom
Earlier this year, an email came into my inbox… Greetings in Jesus name, May this letter find you blessed in Christ. I am writing from West Africa and it is a blessing getting to you in the other part of the world. It is my prayer that you become a friend of me and the […]
Encouragement
Sometime encouragement comes in the unlikely places. This is from Jason. A friend who followed my blog for a few years. He was coming through Singapore a few months ago on his way to Cambodia. We had a chance to stop by for a coffee. This is the email he wrote after he went home […]
