I am currently taking a course, Know Your Bible. One of the assignments is to write a five page paper on two of the Major Prophets. After writing so many papers from University, you would think I can handle a five page essay easy peasy. It wasn’t. I chose Isaiah and Jeremiah because I desired to know more about them. In order to write this paper, I read most of their books. Mind you, that’s 66...
If God is Soverign, how can we have free will? If God is in control of everything, doesn’t that mean we really don’t have free will? How do we answer to that? God is Soverign and He is in control of everything. At the same time, we all have free will and we can make our own decision whether to follow Him or not. Does it sound irrational? Doesn’t make sense? Or even a bit...
When Wai Jia and I planned our wedding a few months ago, we wanted to share with the world our story. A friend introduced us a very talented videographer, Josiah Ng. If you haven’t watched it, I hope you can take the next 13 minutes to watch the video below. It is God’s story weaving into ours. There was a sentence at the end of the video; I will risk myself on you. The...
I promise to love you, to comfort you, to honor and protect you, forsaking all others and remain faithful to you for as long as both of us shall live. I acknowledge you, Tan Wai Jia, to be my wife, to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and honour, according to God’s Holy Law and this is my solemn vow. I...
This post is a thinking and a reflection…. For the past few months, a few brothers and sisters, sometimes during praying times and sometimes during fellowship, will share they like to know what’s God’s Will for their lives. After doing daily devotions from Oswald Chamber’s My Utmost for His Highest, it dawn on me that Oswald will often reflect that the very circumstance...
D asked me this question… Why do we have to die in order to get to heaven? Why do we have to die in order to attain a good life? I stopped eating my pho, put my chop sticks down, looked squarely into D’s eyes in which I replied…. You are asking the wrong question. The question we should all be asking to ourselves is why do God willing to let His Son died for us to get to...
A chat with a non believer yesterday. We were talking about my liver transplant and my triathlon story. This morning I was reading Ephesians for my devotion. All I can focus on is God’s Workmanship For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship...
A repost from Hagar International. My parents used to make me eat pig slop. You might wonder what pig slop tastes like, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. To be honest, I got used to it. But what was worse was when my parents would yell at me. Or they’d hit me. Or they would dip my clothes in pig manure because I wanted to take a school exam. That hurt a lot. Because eating pig slop is...
Something I’ve been mulling over. I come to a conclusion that God doesn’t need me to run His church. God doesn’t need my skills, talents, expertise, resources for His ministry. If there is something that needs to be done, God can do it with or without me, regardless. … At the thought of this, it humbles me….(granted, one ain’t really humble when they admit they...
Some ideas from reading an interview of Tim Chester on his book, You Can Change. In one of the questions, he mentioned that God is great, God is glorious, Good is good and God is gracious. These are some of the common characteristics of God which as a Christian I learnt quite often at church, fellowship, Bible Study and Sunday School. What I enjoyed reading from this interview is...
