well, I’ll be missing from this Garden for a couple of days … and also one week … but I’ll be in action with DUMC’s Campus Camp. The camp theme is “Not Ashamed ..” Obviously, I think the general feeling is that many “Christians” are ashamed of the Gospel … for whatever reason! Sad but…

My Brain Usage Profile
Got linked to Mind Media Life Enhancement Network – And my results are … (still trying to understand myself huh?) Auditory : 37% Visual : 62% Left : 29% Right : 70% Sivin, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing….
The Hound of Heaven
I first came across this Poem is by Francis Thompson (1859 – 1907) in the Seminary library … though I’m not much of a poet and literature freak, the imagery and language caught me and dragged me through it’s passion and intensity (I had to perservere to finish this long poem! phew!!) A member at…
A Moment of Quietness
I picked up this little booklet by Tom Wright and read it while trying to get Gareth to sleep. It didn’t work, but his little glares at me with such stillness was rewarding enough. I jotted down some gems in my journal. Share some here … “I love Quietness … because there comes a time…

Choices & Consequences
Last week, a fellow LiFE Group member said that “ACT 2 : The Fall” was the juicy bit of Griffin’s Article “STORY”. ACT 1 was on Creation. We’re supposed to talk about what Christian’s have traditionally called “the Fall” tonight. I’ve long given up just seeing it as a historical past event alone. I realized…
Prayer of ILLUMINATION
This prayer popped out from the JB Wesley Bulletin few Sundays ago when we were worshipping at KUKUP, Johor. It’s meant to be used before the Scripture readings and the Sermon. Well .. I just like it! “Lord, Open our hearts and minds by the power of Your Holy Spirit, that, as the Scriptures are…
Top Three – Books on “Preaching”
After preaching almost weekly at BLC for the past three years plus, sharing whenever there’s a chance given to me and recalling my Homiletic classes both during seminary days and after, as well as struggling with sweat and sleepless nights simply hoping to present what I believe to be God’s message to us in our…
Thoughts On “Preaching”
“Preaching” as a term or a word seems to be in people’s bad books. “To be preached at ..” is considered unpleasant if not distastful. “I’m not here to preach at you …” would appear to be more acceptable. But, originally .. the word “to preach” is an ordinary word – simply meaning “to announce”…
The Hulk – Smash Up!
It’s all my assistant’s fault (hehehe). I played for the first time an online game (a Hulk smash up game!) at the Hulk Website (what a website! Some of the details are staggering not just in style but also substance!) – WOW! Anyway, the smashing buildings bit and thumping cars as well as cracking the…
