This week
Last night I was sharing with a friend that in the five years of becoming a Christian, the past week I can say it had been some of the most trying times in being a Christian. A lot of reconciliation..a lot of seeking Him alone for answers..a lot of pleaing for the Holy Spirit to […]
Take the first step: asking for forgiveness

Jesus You are Worthy

Isolation
In the midst of darkness and isolation, I smile. For I know I am not alone. The last half of last year, I have been feeling up and down. Perhaps this is a bit of naive thinking, I always thought when someone has a desire to share the Gospel, the Christian circle will encourage. This […]
Man enough
One of the most popular post in this blog is the Adrian Plass’ poem. I was re-reading it today. For the past few weeks…since November, my emotion had been up and down. I really wanted to follow Christ. Yet the passion is not there. What seemed to be easy task like sending out an email […]
