When I first got the news that these young Malaysian songwriters (namely untamed vessels) wanted to try something, as usual I’m supportive (furthermore we had and have a relationship that goes way back to my former church). And the question goes how far would I support them. Can BLC play a little part as encouragement?…
Faith, Health & Prosperity
I found this book edited by Andrew Perriman to be an engaging read as I’m preparing in re-looking at “Faith, Health & Prosperity”. I found the whole treatment on the history and teaching of the “Word of Faith” Movement to be both informative and insightful. Thus, I munched 5 chapters yesterday. The discussion on “Prosperity…
We want to go far … together!
“if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” ~ African saying I read Brian’s African Report with much interest. Strangely, he went south to Africa, I went North to Germany 🙂 I’m no Brian McLaren and have much less wisdom and insight to contribute *grin*. This humble…

When some of us started blogging and I speak especially for myself, I don’t think we could imagine some of the “blessings” that came out of the exercise-discipline-habit-obsession?! It’s always nice when someone else…

Unnatural Toil
“Unnatural, frantic, anxious work, work done under pressure of greed or fear or any other inordinate passion, cannot properly speaking be dedicated to God, because God never wills such work directly. He may permit that, through no fault of our own, we may have to work madly and distractly, due to our sins, and to…
Inside Worship
I think this library of a variety of articles and videos would be more accessible to those who had difficulty with the more theological stuff in the last post.
