” … it is in the Devil’s interest to make Christians look weird.” ~ Richard Lovelace For the context of this statement it’s good to check out the article Do Nigerian Miracle Ministries Discredit the Faith? The dangers and challenges we face in Asia is not too far removed from our African brothers and sisters.

Vroom … VROOM!
Thanks Raymond for this photo … I love it! Gareth loves driving … he’ll go “vroom … VROOM!”, and hit the “horn” (like a good Malaysian), make sure the wiper and signal lights is in good functioning order (before he breaks it!). he’s very particular about the air-conditioning 🙂 … For a closer look at…
Random Thoughts after the Anniversary Dinner
I think there are around 40+ of us from BLC and 30+guests. It was nice to see people at ease around tables (seems to be our current trademark!) enjoying the pretty good buffet I may say! And it was good to see people interacting, I really appreciate John for being there at one table just…
Sculptor
“A thick and shapeless tree trunk would never believe that it could become a statue, admired as a miracle of sculptor, and would never submit itself to the chisel of the sculptor, who sees by her genius what she can make of it.” ~ Ignatius, from SacredGateway. There’s so much to be “shaped”, some stuff…
Worship Today
“We have to make worship out of the things of our lives – while subverting the gods of our age.” ~ From PoMoMuSiNgs I must say Adam Cleaveland’s coverage of the Emergent convention in Nashville is simple fantastic. I’m also looking forward to read DJ Chuang’s coverage side by side maybe tomorrow and allow some…
Looking Back 3 – Break in!
when May Chin & I just decided to pay the Father’s House a friendly visit on that day (3rd June 2001), we were totally shocked when the front grill was TORN DOWN (as you can see in the 2 pictures)! The was the first of actually two “break-ins” we have experienced in our four year…
Looking Back 2 – Second Chance
Rev. Robert Neff (a missionary from the USA) was the founder of the original BLC in the 60’s. By the time I arrived in the year 2000, the church had passed through a couple of pastors and was technically “dead” (no members, no activities, no anything … kaput!) . But I love the phrase from…
Random Thoughts after “Open Doors”
Four years ago when we re-started BLC, I’ve always wanted us to play some part in participating in actitivities around BLC. So, I joined Toastmasters Bangsar (I’m still their member and still actively do speeches), visited a couple of Bangsar Rotaract Club (couldn’t continue because hey I’m but one person with limited time), and with…
Looking Back 1 – abandoned?
We’re celebrating our 4th Anniversary this sunday because we didn’t want it too close to Easter (it’s suppose to be on 1st April … yes, BLC was resurrected on April fools day and I remember I spoke on “being fool’s for Christ!”). This is a picture of the Father’s House when I first saw it…
Top Ten Most Profound Movies?
Well, I’ve watched almost all that’s mentioned in Fitzpatrick’s list. I’m still waiting for a change to watch Luther (I saw the preview and reviews which says good stuff! and I am a Lutheran!*grin*) and The Passion of Christ (yes! I haven’t watched it yet!). Never saw High Fidelity though.
