Month: August 2003

I asked God for strength that I might achieve, I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy, I was given poverty that I…

Here’s a segment from Scazzero’s book “The Emotionally Healthy Church” that energized me and encouraged me as I’m preparing for another phase in my discipleship and ministry. It’s very humbling … ___________________________________________________ We constantly remind people that the only kind of people God uses are those who do not depend on their own gifts or…

I was intrigued by some “insightful” sharing on how The book of Proverbs has impacted some BLC members life lately. I used to have this slogan when I read one chapter a day during my teenage Christian journey, “A Proverb a day, keeps the devil away” (ok .. I know that’s stretching it I was…

Ordination Day on the 31st August 2003 Sunday at 11am. It’ll be a “robe-ful” experience for me who’s been so used to casual smart dress for Sundays or anywhere I go for ministry with my little green burmese bag!

Picked up The Emotionally Healthy Church by Peter Scazzero at the Glad Sounds sales yesterday. I was caught red handed by May Chin once again for another book purchase.
