Christian Growth
Christian growth doesn’t happen by working hard to get something you don’t have. Christian growth happens by working hard to live in the reality of what you do have. – Tullian Tchividjian http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tullian/2010/05/19/growth-by-remembering-2/ Will give more thoughts on this later tonight.
A Creative God at play
D is a 70 yr old man that live in Mississauga. He is a competitive rower and since I am a triathlete, we have a lot in common in regards to racing and competition. D is unemployed, struggling to pay bills and has family problems as well. Through the years of hanging out with him, […]
Anger!
Google Reader today pull out a post made by Tullian a while back. The post is the difference between God-Centered anger and Self-Centered anger. A definitely good read. The world so often senses our anger — but do they ever sense our grief? They think we’re angry simply because we’re not getting our way, but […]
The Living God that Speaks
Of all the miracles that happen upon my life, there is none more vivid than when the Lord spoke to me. Looking back, I often don’t think this was important.

Like Paul wrote in Ephesian 2:10: For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (NIV) Here’s mine […]

Before Jesus was taken up to Heaven, He told the disciples the following: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8) The verse is an introduction for the […]
Repost: Everyday Justification
Picked this up from Tim Chester’s blog. This is quite a good post on how to live everyday as a Christian. So that now that we are saved, so what? It becomes clear to me, that everyday living, there is a lot of angst, frustration and worries, which digging deeper are me trying to prove […]
Take the first step: asking for forgiveness
In my meditation upon the book of Habakkuk a few nights ago, the LORD has impressed me to go make peace with brothers and sisters who I have wronged them. With the things I experienced through in the past few days…I am reminded by what Jesus call us to do…love your God and love your […]
Let us not our souls to one another
Yesterday during worship, we sing Give Us Clean Hands by Chris Tomlin. Here is part of the lyric: We bow our hearts We bend our knees Oh Spirit come make us humble We turn our eyes From evil things Oh Lord we cast down our idols Oh give us clean hands and give us pure […]
