It was great to catch up with an old friend today (He’s pretty young actually still in his twenties)… I’m amazed and encouraged how far he has come as a young man and matured in his Christian faith … there are times when I feel “disappointed”, “discouraged” or “disillusioned” with the development of Christianity that’s…

Notes for the Panel What will the future church look like? Here’s an attempted answer. Jesus on/in the Mainline It’s encouraging to see the hope in what is often pronounced as a hopeless church scene. Congregation and Aggregation I’ve been using the language of church scattered and church gathered for a while now in my…

EM04 Vegetarian Appetizer
I’m very thankful that the Emergent Malaysia “Open” Meeting went well with its load of surprises here and there with lots of food for thought as well as areas that causes me to think deeper (more on this later) 🙂 I’m amazed that this is actually our fourth time we’ve organized this kind of meeting….

The Mega Church That’s Reinventing Itself I’ve found this article interesting because Walt Kallestad is our “renown” Lutheran version of a Mega Church pastor … I wonder how will those who advocate the mega church model feel after reading this article. Darfur in Darkness again there’s hardly any news on Darfur in our local Malaysian…
Motivation & Discipline
These thoughts will carry me this week … Thanks Conrad! “You know the difference between motivation and discipline, right? Motivation is a feeling; it’s about arranging your brain so that you feel like doing something you know you want to do, or arranging things around you so that they arrange your brain to feel like…
What is REAL?
It was nice to be at Yew Khuen & Jo-Ann’s garden wedding last weekend (the most different wedding I conducted was on a beach! So this is the most unique venue I attended thus far!) I liked the Beatle Wedding car … cool and counter-cultural?! I found the two readings very moving … the first…
