Proverbs 18:24A man of many companions may come to ruin,but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.This verse has been playing in mind few days now.Hands up any who do not want friends like that? Hahaha. I think I have friends like that. I think. From my past. Who grew up together, knew each other enough to give (and take!) criticism to spur each other on..!Just thankful to God for

Matt 28:11... While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' 14 If this report

“What do you do for Christ each day?”a faithful Christian said.And I replied, “I drive a truckand fill the stores with bread.”He said, “I know of your bread routeBut that is not the thing.I mean what do you do each dayFor Jesus Christ the King?”I said, “But I believe a man canwork in such a wayThat selling bread is work for ChristA sacrament each day.”Once more the man inquired, “But sir,If this

Have you ever been just absolutely “bowled over” when the blessings dried up?Sometimes we are sitting on top of the world and the windows of Heaven have been opened so that our lives are filled with blessings, then all of a sudden, the blessings seem to stop and we are left in spiritual shock wondering what happened.Here’s a little story to illustrate this point: Chippie the parakeet never saw it

I re-visited a place I had called "home" for 9 long years. Hadn't been back in a few months. Five months. Somehow it seemed longer. I had missed it. Never realised that. They'd been busy.

And it took like a few days before I could get myself centered again.I've been busy these past few months, fighting an uphill battle sometimes it seems.

I had a very interesting conversation recently, with a Christian leader from a mega church. We were talking 'church' when this statement was exhaled "why does the church need to disciple anyone.." The context being that it was the duty of the Church to present Christ to the unbelievers, and thereafter as the Holy Spirit worked on the life of the individual, they would eventually come to a place

The term ‘Malaysia’ acquired its current precise political connotation only in 1963.The word was apparently first coined in the 1830s and by the end of the nineteenth century was in general usage to describe a geographic-zoological-botanical region comprising the Malay peninsula, Singapore, Borneo, Sumatra and Java.This was something I came across today. Very interesting. Have not read or seen

"Man is great," says Baptist theologian Millard Erickson, "but what makes him great is that God has created him. The name Stradivari speaks of quality in a violin; its maker was the best . . . Of man it can be said that he has been made by the best and wisest of all beings, God." This has got me thinking. The measure of a man's greatness - is not in himself.

One of the positives of the BOH organisation, is that they have times of retreat as a family, where is factored in, as well as a time to come apart as a team, and to also reward the faithful and realign for coming year ahead.So, the BOH Retreat is an annual thing for each country.

"Friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of themAnd a friend will not say never, cause the welcome will not endThough it's hard to let you goIn the Father's hands I knowThat a lifetime's not too long... to live as friends."-Michael W Smith- This was a song we used to sing, almost yearly when I was in the youth group - as a member, not a pastor! Every year, it came time for someone/s

Its funny isn't it? You pray for something. Then when an answer comes, you really don't know how to react. If you should react or not.Been having a tussle. Move on or stay put.Stay put - comfortable; familiar; work still to be done.Move on - more opportunities; more support maybe (or maybe not); ministry opportunities.I have been praying. My life should be in good stewardship. My lack of serving

It happened a few days ago. Atmosphere was charged. Enjoyable even. For me at least. I scanned the room - yup the usual: some really giving themselves to it, some mildly getting their toes wet, many merely making up the numbers. Same old, same old.Then I saw him. I was sitting nearby. You know how you seldom notice those seated closest? This was one of those times. I watched him, saddened. He

Dragged myself outta bed extra early this morning, cos I knew had to beat rush-hour USJ traffic to get out and at the school by 10am. Didnt help that I hadn't been there before, had no map to guide me, and armed with just a few verbal instructions that I was too proud to show my hand and ask for more detailed directions...!First praise report - managed to get out of USJ, and to the exact venue

Read this recently... quite humourous...A few years ago there was a true story about a man in New York City who was kidnapped. His kidnappers called his wife and asked for $100,000 ransom. She talked them down to $30,000.The story had a happy ending: the man returned home unharmed, the money was recovered, and the kidnappers were caught and sent to jail.But, don't you wonder what happened when

Was invited to speak to a group of church leaders - adult leaders of various ministries of a church in Puchong. Actually the invite came like 2 months ago. The pastor - a personal friend - when we sat down and he heard a little of the BOH ministry, offered to invite me to preach for his church, as well as present the ministry to his leaders. A gesture of friendship I believe, as I doubt he knew

Interesting day. Woke up this morning groggy - yet decided to take a drive down to the BOH warehouse in the boondocks somewhere (ok, actually near Sg Buloh), to get familiarised with the location of this place as I'd only been there once before.The total contents of this warehouse stands at roughly 300,000 books or 1500 boxes - less those already taken out to be distributed. These again are of

Heya - looks like my days in obscurity coming to an end. Whaddaya mean? Hahaha... nvm!!Its late yet somehow sleep is not on my mind - saw a TV show once that said "plenty of time for sleep when I'm dead...." Hahaha - don't get me wrong, I love my sleep too - sleeps's great, waking up... that's the pain!!Somehow logged in late, was asked to read one blog, then jumped to another, and another, and

Yup, its the title of that movie, 300. For once I can say this without it sounding rude - its a BLOODY movie! I mean some will use brick and mortar and stones for their building of walls... the Spartans used BODIES.... dead thankfully, but human nonetheless! Of their enemies. A pretty gory warning to others who may have intentions against them - and that I believe is the underlying intent!Been

I know its been said before - its a whole different ballgame when you step outta your comfort zone. And well, seeing as how I've been cocooned for the past zillion years, I guess taking it slow and steady shouldn't be denied me - at least at this stage, eh?Past two and a half months have been spent trying to introduce an alien concept to a sheltered populace.... and so it would seem!

February was a short month - even more for me as I spent 10 of those days out of Malaysia... went to Manila for a BOH event as well as some hands-on training! Was truly an eye-opening experience seeing the passion of BOH gurus in the Philippines - 'gurus' becos of the fact that in 10 years they have distributed 14million copies of BOH - and their plan for '07 is about 5 million! Awe-inspiring.

"One month down, eleven to go!""What??? One month over already? Where'd it go?""We're in 2007 already? Since when?"Hmm... different strokes for different folks I guess.Its been an interesting month, I would say. Spoke for a youth retreat. Returned to preach at GRYP's Parent Open Day. Invited to share for lunch hour meeting in KL. Along the way, was blessed to be able to introduce BOH material and

Hello to anyone out there! Yup - over 3 weeks into the new year, and now i'm welcoming It! Haha. To my defence, like I told friends, my year end break is only beginning now.... have been on the go with one thing hot on the heels of the previous all the way since November 2006 I think. Culminating with last week end's Retreat for Agape Gospel!A lot has happened - maybe not in terms of actions but

There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, a studious man who taught at a small college in the western United States.Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity at this particular institution. Every student was required to take this course his or her freshman year, regardless of his or her major.Although Dr. Christianson tried hard to communicate the

From A Strictly Mathematical Point of ViewWhat equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H

Hmm.... interesting word. What does it really mean? Does it always mean the same thing? As a Christian, can I be a success? Does it mean I'll just be accepted to God and have joy and security in Heaven. What about on earth? Can I be successful on earth & still be a great Christian? Or are they competing thought, over which I have to choose either one or the other?If someone tells me - well as a

Wow! This must be a new record - maybe I am turning into a blogger.... or just have too much free time!!! Haha... Dinner last night. Well I survived. Quite pleasant truth be told - not at all what I feared - to my dinner companion - thanks for the sushi treat! Yup, those who know me will be, "what...?" And, nope - no plans to return for another sushi meal in awhile... a long while!Communication -

When you want something (someone?), you're never gonna take a simple NO for an answer are you? Receive the answer and walk away? NO WAY...You gonna keep on asking n asking n maybe even twisting hands a little to achieve what you hope for!I recently was asked for something. My almost immediate answer was 'No, sorry!' Which honestly, I wasn't. Answer came out automatically! This had happened

It happened yesterday. For a long while, I havent really been seeking God for any specific testimonies - or even asking actively for anything materially. And honestly, I still am not. Yesterday, I decided I needed to check out some shoes. So there I was walking around - comparing notes on 3 different pairs - hesitating between them - that it happened!   What's a "512 moment"??? Well, the

LAst night we were at a worship conference - went for the last night of the series - so we only got a lick of the pan - of wat's going on there! Can tell that those with me felt kinda outta place - whole new experience. I'm talking way out!!! True to the words of the speaker actually!Tuesday we had been to a church's youth concert. That too was different - more to our taste, I must say! And of

Woke up this morning with this thought running thru my head ... one month ago... all that rushing around... the COLD... the crowds... the new scenery... HILLSONG Conference!!! It was an awesome conference - for me more like a reminder, but for the team - could see it in some of their faces. Some almost not wanting to blink.../ and even wanting to pinch themselves almost!!

Woke up extra early this morning. Just jolted up. Wondered what to do? Decided I'd go for exercise - for me that meant a walk in the nearby park - needed to clear my head, and just allow Him to speak into me.Was pretty good weather - saw the people exercising - have not been here almost 3 months I think - its clearly 'showing'!!! Saw new fads in the exercise freaks here too..... hmm, need to
