Lent 8.1: I Want To
Luke 11.29-32 My son Gareth (who’s 3 years plus) has this book I read to him last night (or every other night). It’s called “I Don’t Want to”. It’s about this boy Jonah (and his dog) that doesn’t want to go and preach to the people in Nineveh lands up in the squishy and phewy…
Lent 7.1: The Lord’s Prayer (and Manifesto?)
Matthew 6.7-15 My youth fellowship teacher challenged me to pray this prayer everyday when I was 15. So I did every morning as I walked to school. It took 10 minutes to reach the school gate, so besides praying the Lord’s prayer I landed up praying with my eyes opened J for whatever came to…
Random Thoughts after a 10am-10:38pm Meeting
Today was another one of those LONG LONG meetings … lots of important deliberations, discussions, and decisions made. Sometimes, one is tempted to move on faster but we need to work through the issues and concerns as well. I’m learning to laugh as well as try to listen to not just the words from people’s…
Lent 6.1: Nothing much to say?
Matthew 25.31-46 ” …Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat” It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to…
Lent 5.1: The Wilderness
Mark 1.12-15 Reflection: Are you afraid of the dry seasons or the wilderness when it seems you have to face your inner struggles, sins and outer temptations? How can you be open to the Holy Spirit during times like this as you see yourself clearer? What is God leading you towards after the testing season?
Random Thoughts after some nice Orange Juice
I noticed that since I’m “fasting” from potato crisps, they glare at me when I’m in the supermarket. Or wherever I go, somehow … there’s a hold on me 🙂 Glad I could still make it for the LiFE Group today even though at the last moment. It was good to see the group keep…
Nails and Thorns
Here’s the Nails and Thorns: Lent Meditations (pdf) where I’ll be posting daily meditations from. Some months ago, my fellow Methodist pastor Rev. Ting Moy Hong invited me to write for the Malaysian TRAC Methodist Youth version lent Meditations. I said why don’t we make it a joint Lutheran and Methodist project. Of course, all…
Lent 4.1: Interlude ~ A Prayer for Lent
Ps 86.1-6 Lord, help me see You are not far away and unapproachable, You are more than willing to help. It’s a dangerous world I live in, my devotion to You is constantly being challenged. My trust and service to you is often shaky. Extra protection would be good. That’s why I need to call…
Lent 3.1: Fasting or Feasting
Matthew 9.14-15 I’m one of those who struggle with fasting. Every time I decide to fast especially together with developing some discipline on the body and prayer, I’m always tempted by my favourite Potato chips (which is hard to resist!) But does the ability to fast makes one a better Christian? Jesus said, “Should wedding…
