It’s such a super idea we have a day devoted to our one loved one. Nothing replaces giving somebody your utmost attention. Nothing replaces companionship, friendship, commitment. Or love. Indeed Jesus is the greatest friend. He saves you before you know him. There are too many philosophical debates over that…
Series starts here. The cost you pay to run an online church is huge. It might cost you some money, but how long, just how loooooooooong, have you spent doing something to get it suitable for use in online church. It’s far beyond what we have done for a single…
The finest flour is the best of yourself in God (see previous blog). It is not quite taking all improvement exercises, methods in mindfulness or self-emptying, wellness enhancement such as balanced diet, deep breath, or wholeness; or any such combinations of the above. Some of these are good. The point though…
The Holy Spirit is the enabler for us to worship God in truth. Leviticus chapter 2 speaks about Holy Spirit in the form of oil and frankincense. The use of oil sounds like anointing, a kind of seal, that our worship is acceptable to God. The use of frankincense speaks…
Making choices is nothing new – even this statement is a little strange, everybody makes choices all the time. For example, you can watch a film about a story when a book form is also available. You might prefer to go this way so you can also enjoy the…
All things online don’t work well for churches. Church is about people. Having a church online goes against what you want to do as a church. The whole point about reaching out to people is they come to learn and share about the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is about…
History makers. That means they make history. What they did, said, or some other things associated with them, was so phenomenal that it entered history and we will remember them. Well, like moon landing. As time moves on, we move with it. Something that is even more phenomenal is one…
We have been reminded about showing kindness recently. Remember the memory verse we had a few Sundays ago? Hint: Micah 6:8 has “love kindness” in the RSV, Good News has “show constant love”, while NIV has “love mercy”. Love is everywhere! It’s also action-packed: to ‘show’ love. Mercy and kindness are two…
We went to the bank, well another branch of the same bank. We want to clarify a bank account. I had the same issue some time ago, and that was sorted out there and then at a branch, well the third branch some distance away. I just happened to be…
Sounding astonished himself, he told me his mom travelled back from North America on her own. You mean you didn’t know, I asked. In fact, it was not clear to the rest of the family who would be travelling with her on the way back. Like, he said, with a…
Me me me. The root of much of today’s social, economic and political problems is selfishness. To be more exact, putting me first without taking consideration about how my action could put others in a far less favourable condition. However, I don’t think we should live a life of complete…
We are social people. Each of us has so much we can take with respect to our social scale. Some of us prefer more time to ourselves, others prefer more times with familiar and loved ones, while others enjoy making new friends. No matter what, we have our circle of…
