Prayer for a peaceful farewell
Merton or Bodine, Spires and halls What God watched me then, Is He that watches all. The same God of my past Is the God of your future So with the gospel your mast Make His Word your life’s anchor. Bow your knees at His throne Every day, every night Keep on in what you’ve learnt Use it well in your fight. Crucify youthful passions Flee all appearance of wrong Drink deep from...

From Passion 2011: Words that brought clarity and...
Tonight as I sat in the carpark after hearing this sermon, I prayed a prayer of thanksgiving, reminded of how gracious and good God is to a sinner like me. These 7 truths showed me afresh the truth that God makes much of me BY freeing me to make much of God. In other words, by being God-centered in how He loves me, God is loving me most. Loving God is the highest joy there is, and God loves me...

– John Piper at conference on prayer, panel discussion, speaking of the intellectual difficulties brought about by a sovereign God and our responsibility - addressing someone who might be fatalistic. Brilliant!

Does anyone care about faithfulness?
We live in a world of indexes, of measurement and calculation. We live in a world where success is king, and value is determined by what you achieve, what you attain, what results you obtain. As a teacher, I insist my students perform - that they produce, that they prove and validate themselves somehow- mostly through standardized assessment. But it would seem that God delights not in having us do...

After tonight’s lecture by Dr. Rick Griffith, I did a quick scramble of resources, which below. The goal is to get a better understanding of the idealist view - since the futurist view is heavily represented and quite familiar to me already!

Yesterday's conversation: how technology can/is...
At supper yesterday after prayer meeting, I was talking to some brothers and sisters and this conversation came up: should the church start a blog?
Initially, the issue was raised as one of random interest- would it be helpful if someone started liveblogging during the sermon (now our series is in Ephesians), taking down the major points, capturing the cross-references etc. Would it be helpful...

How sharing the gospel is not like MLM
Tonight I had a great conversation with J and a friend of J’s, who’s had some experience with MLM. Ironically, we talked a lot before the spiritual conversation about MLMs and ways that people make the sell, persuade, and the kind of rhetoric and language that gets used. The comparison was made, between how we use apologetics and evangelism like an MLM - after all, we are getting...

This is the year of the dragon
This year’s CNY was quick and fast-moving. Following the Christmas celebrations that seem like they were yesterday, this year’s CNY came on fast and furious. The tinsel and colorful trees quickly gave way to festive wire dragons and gordy decorations- decorations that were soothingly trite and tacky-familiar at the same time. With a flash of bright red firecrackers, angpaos, Mandarin...

Man, like the grass
Into the woods and o’er the hills The path rolls on and ever still Flanked thus by shrubs and gentle flow’rs I walked and walked and walked for hours.
I recalled the Book says man, like grass Is here today, but will not last Beyond three score years and ten Before man is one with grass again.
So walking on the wide, green earth Considering man’s little worth I asked the Maker,...
