Always read the label: diagnosing me and my church pains I’ve heard loads of excuses .. packaged with either spiritual or spiritual sounding sophistication . 🙂 Paul Mayers gets to the point where some might prefer he doesn’t. Symptom 1: I’d rather do something else on a sunday than going to church My time is…

If You Want Me
I think I might watch the movie Once again soon 🙂 This is one very memorable scene. I remember May Chin telling me, “Wow, she walked pretty far to get those batteries!” Worth a whole song I guess .
The Voice: New Testament
I’m so excited to get my copy today! Check out the Voice website for more information. I love the subtitle, “The Liberating King and the Church” partly because the word “liberating” has been buzzing in my mind for quite a while.

Freedom … PJ Candlelight Vigil
Hishamuddin Rais on “Freedom” from Second Thoughts on Vimeo. It was a delight to hear Hishamuddin Rais during the PJ Candlelight Vigil on Sunday.

Luther and Liberation
I got a copy of this book years ago at the Lutheran World Federation HQ, and I scanned through it here and there. But last week was when I got to dig into some gems. Sometimes when it comes to books the relevance of it comes more because we are at a different stage of…
