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.

Don't Waste Your Sickness

So often when we fall ill, our natural instinct is to pursue healing. Our minds are pre-occupied with wanting to recover as soon as possible. However we fail to pause and consider what the Lord may be saying to us and risk wasting the sickness altogether. My appeal is that even as we pursue recovery, let us also take time to seek the Lord and discern the cause(s) of our sickness so that we can pray more appropriately for healing. 1. Careless Living It is a known fact that the lack of balanced diet and exercise will lead to several physical ailments. Our physical body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19); and we are to glorify Him with our body. Glorifying God with our body includes being good stewards of our body. Observing a balanced diet and having a healthy dose of exercise will help us prevent chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure. Observing Sabbath rest also allows the body to be renewed and refreshed. If we have been guilty of careless living, we need t...

Excellence is not Perfection but Optimum

“Aim for the optimum and not perfection.” Ps Edmund Chan In our daily work, we must be careful lest we fall into the incessant whirlpool of striving for perfection. We overdo a particular task or overcommit ourselves to a particular work assignment at the expense of others. This leads to a snowballing effect whereby our daily work begin to pile up and we constantly feel overwhelmed and burn out. The Scripture promotes excellence (Col 3:23; 2 Cor 8:7; 2 Tim 2:15). However we may misunderstand our striving for perfection as the pursuit of excellence. The strive for perfection is often egocentric and self-serving. We seek perfection in order to meet our own standards and please ourselves. Biblical excellence however seeks to please God. Biblical excellence means we seek to give God our best in every work assignment and responsibility He has called us to do at work, home or church community. Biblical excellence is holistic in nature. We can't excel in one assignment at the expense of...

The Family of Christ

A reflection on discipleship and community Almost every Christian has a story of disappointment with the church. Conflicts have always plagued the church. We quarrel about the choice of worship style, the order of worship, theological stances, use of church funds and the conduct of church ministries. Yet more often than not, quarrels in church happen because of personality crashes and relational misunderstandings. How would you describe your relationship with the church? Do you have certain expectations on what the family of Christ should be and when she did not meet those expectations, you become disillusioned and disappointed? Are your expectations based on biblical understandings? In Eph 2:11-22, Paul sought to remind the Gentile believers of how God in His mercy has included them into His redemptive plan. God has brought them to share the joy of God’s salvation together with the Jews. The Gentiles and the Jews were two very distinct cultural groups that had deep enmity against...
