A Voice In The Wilderness

In the wilderness, I look around and see nothing... So I look inside and behold I see terror! Then, I look up and see beauty.

The Dying Process

“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. ” Romans 8:20-23 ESV Introduction My mum died of lung cancer in 2007. Witnessing her suffering and going through the painful process of dying was deeply traumatic for me. I wonder why God extended her life just to let her suffer. If He is not going to heal her, why not just take her home? What’s the point of letting her suffer in agony? I wonder what is the purpose of the dying process. It took me several months to process the experience before God. While I have learnt to trust His hea...

Work Without Wonder: When Doing Right Goes Wrong

A Reflection on Revelation 2:2–5 Revelation 2:[2] “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. [3] I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. [4] But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. It is hard to comprehend that Christ was not pleased with the church at Ephesus. This was a church commended for its tireless labor, intolerance of evil, and steadfast endurance for His name. How can such commendable deeds still fall short? Perhaps the issue was not what they were doing, but why they were doing it. It seems their works, though outwardly commendable, were driven by wrong motives. The Work Of A Workaholic “I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance…” (Revelation 2:2a) The workaholic is one who serves tirelessly, but to f...

The Thirst of Christ

By the time Christ hung on the cross, He had gone without water for at least nine hours. He endured a long night of interrogations. In the morning, He was scourged and whipped repeatedly, losing much fluid from His body. He was then forced to carry the heavy cross through the streets, His sweat mingling with blood that ran down His torn back. He must have been severely dehydrated— overwhelmingly thirsty. Yet, even in that abyss of physical agony, Christ remained fixed on obedience. Pain did not distract Him from the will of God; it became the very place where Scripture was fulfilled. From the cross, He uttered, “I thirst.” It wasn't just a primal human need. It was an intentional act to fulfill the Scripture. "After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture) , “I thirst". Jn 19:28 How do we hold onto the Word when our physical desires stage a revolt, and every nerve ending is clamour...
