John 5:17-30 You : Hi Jesus, it’s me. Jesus : Hello, how nice to see you again! You seem a bit down… You : Well, I have a problem, Lord. Jesus : Yes I know but maybe you’d like to tell me… You : Well, it’s like this. There’s so many things I want to…
Lent 28.1: FELT LIKE GIVING UP LATELY?
John 5:1-16 In today’s reading, we read about an invalid man who was lying down near the pool of Bethesda, known for it’s healing powers when an angel of the Lord would come down to stir up its waters from time to time. The first person to enter the pool when the waters are stirred…

Click here and have a conversation with iGod *grin*. I found it an interesting experience with a sense of humor 🙂 Here’s a sample of our conversation: Me: Hello God: Hello, my child. What is your name? Me: Sivin God: How are you, Sivin. Me: Do you like curry? God: What is not to like…
Do you want to be made well?
Here’s some “inspiration” for the John 5:1-8 Text reading in Sacred Space, I think it’s more of raising questions we need to hear than being very “motivating” – more of helping us to “move on”. “What a strange question Jesus asked: Do you want to be made well? Yet for those who have been sick…
Lent 27.1: BELIEVE IT OR NOT
John 4:43-54 The story that we read about in the passage never ceases to amaze me. We read about the return of Jesus to Cana in Galilee after staying two days in Samaria. A royal official had heard that Jesus was in town and so came looking for Jesus to beg him to heal his…
Lent 26.1: ‘LOST’
The next couple of meditations is written by Rhema who’s been traveling Malaysia serving the youth alongside Chris Rao (who happens to be her husband!) I was impressed by the youth devotions I saw her do some years ago so I asked her last minute to join the Lent meditations: Nails and Thorns (pdf) project!…
Lent 25.1: HEAVEN’S BY-PRODUCT
*One more from Alwyn Lau (sorry for the delay) I’ll need to let the mediations catch up ~ Sivin* Luke 18.9-14 Garfield has a cute way with words. I recall a cartoon in which our friendly fat cat says, “It’s so difficult to be humble – when you’re so great.” I like that. Jokes aside,…

Random Thoughts after some better sleep
I love Dave Walker’s cartoons like the one above. I like the free hand style and the content. It was wonderful to have my aunty from the USA come and join us for worship yesterday. Because of her, my other aunty Alice and uncle Jack came along as well. Aunty Grace has been a catalyst…
Lent 24.1: TOUGH LOVE
Mk 12.28-34 Try to do a survey. Ask your friends, whenever they think of Christians, what word comes to mind? I can bet you a Big Mac (or whatever high-sodium horse food you like) that most of them will say one of the following: Truth, Hypocrisy, Old-fashioned, Holy holy, Bible, Christmas and Church. A few…
