Month: July 2003

A short episode but carries long term effects on me. Reflected on 2 Kings 4:42-44 and the phrase (a kind of promise from the Lord) saying “they shall eat and some left over” (v. 43) grabbed me! When I think about what I have now. God’s “provision” is enough for me, but actually in many…

Finnish guy came for worship after visiting BLC website! Wow! Gareth starting to make funny faces. Bruce Lee’s fights are so intense. Love the F1 style howls and the post enerygy release on his face. The “symbolic acts” in “Fist of fury” was cool e.g. kicking the chinese and dogs not allowed signboard in pieces…

Robbie Williams oh Robbie Williams why is it thy MTVs give me such impressions that I need to get stuff off my chest to feel better? The “Lord make me a better man” has glittered I dunno how many messages, private comments, and personal thoughts. And now, “Manufactured Miracles”… Participants who would go to the…

“Apologetics” at first seems to be about apologizing. It’s not. According to the AnsMe.com dictionary, here goes: apologetics (noun) – 1. the branch of theology that is concerned with the defense of Christian doctrines And yet, though I realize this is kind of a official definition. I feel that tends to give an overtly strong…

I never liked military imagery much to present Christianity because of the abuse nowadays in the media and some freaky Christians (Lord forgive me for being a little unkind here!) But, C.S. Lewis didn’t shy away using it for his purposes in times surrounded by war and conflict. In fact, I felt he rightly uses…

“BLC oozes passion!” was such an encouragement some one gave us. I know we aren’t really that passionate all the time … but this phrase ignites more passion in me at least! Translating from one language to another is quite an uphill task. One needs to first understand what the author is trying to convey,…

My mentor in-many-many-ways Robert Brow has a simple definition for Ordination in his WORD THOUGHTS: A Dictionary of Religions and key words I thought it’s important to deepen what it means for me to be ordained. I don’t like to see it as a promotion (as some people have hinted honestly). Because I believe responding…

i didn’t know C.S. Lewis’ THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS was dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien. Cool! Anyway, I think that THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS (T.S.L) ranks high on my list of my favorite books on Spiritual Warfare (I use the term to include the battle with sin & temptation as well as the demon stuff)! I picked it…

The date is set on the 31st August 2003 Sunday. The place will be Luther House Chapel. The event is the closing worship service of the LCMS convention (and one day after the 50th Anniversary LCMS Worship Celebration & Banquet). And this will be the day of my ORDINATION. I attended my first full ministerium…

I’m waiting here at Taman Midah Lutheran Church office and they are kind enough to let me use their internet access. One by one the ordination candidates will be interviewed by the other ordained pastors. so, for now .. relaxlah! Thought about C.S. Lewis. So, checked him on Google (my favorite search engine) and found…
