More of Grace

Posted on 2 December, 20072 December, 2007 by Sivin Kit

THIS YEAR NEEDS ADVENT Needs a keeping space Of silence and of darkness nearing down, Someplace where all that can be still is stilled And everything but hope and fear are gone, Where there is less of me and more of grace. There in the waiting moments you have willed Likes healing for an often-wounded…

Merdeka 2007: Revolution of Hope

Posted on 17 November, 200727 November, 2007 by Sivin Kit

I’ve been a little busy with the new born baby no.3, before I’m off to another set of responsibilities, I better not forget informing you of a special time of reflection together as Christians next Sunday. For those of you who remember my good friend – “the guy with the cool hair” – Jesuit Father…

Are you part of the mess?

Posted on 1 November, 200731 October, 2007 by Sivin Kit

* Note from me: I suspect this post emerges out of our recent Friends in conversation Gathering. Good to see our conversations on Saturday have some rippling effect. * Are you part of the mess? I was at a forum on Saturday, one which talked about “Christianity and Politics”. It was more like an open…

Friends in Conversation: Mosaic of Possibilities

Posted on 31 October, 200731 October, 2007 by Sivin Kit

I was delightfully surprised with who turned up for the Friends in Conversation gathering on “Politics and the Kingdom”. At least 30 people participated in a pretty free flowing conversation beginning with initial starters from our 2 guests: Goh Keat Peng and Rev. Dr. Hermen Shastri. It was good to see some new or less…

Reformation Day: Beginnings of change and not the end of discussion!

Posted on 31 October, 2007 by Sivin Kit

The last whole month I’ve enjoyed the chance (and the discipline) to speak based on four of the five Solas. In fact, the pastors in our two districts in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor all did the same which I thought was a good idea. Here are the slides (in pdf) I used for each sermon…

Making Friends in Noah’s Ark

Posted on 29 October, 200729 October, 2007 by Sivin Kit

As usual my good friend Alwyn Lau beats me in getting his notes and reflections up on the recent Friends in Conversation gathering on “Politics and the Kingdom” last Saturday afternoon. Before, I catch up with my own thoughts, please feel free to listen to his. He does have a way with words – a…

I’m blocking out this Saturday, October 27, 2.30 – 4.30pm at Bangsar Lutheran Church for some conversations that I think are worth having. And here’s the email we sent out to invite people, you are welcome too 🙂 Dear friend, It has been a while since our last conversation, although I’m sure during this time…

Reformation Polka

Posted on 17 October, 2007 by Sivin Kit

I’ve enjoyed doing the series on “Reformation Principles” for two weeks. I started with Scripture Alone and then did Faith Alone last Sunday. This week will be Grace alone and climaxed with Christ Alone next Sunday. This Polka is a nice supplement to the more serious diet of preaching.
