Being Strong

To be strong is not a personal issue. It is choosing something that outweighs your individual value. When you choose to be strong, you’re choosing to show others that they can do the same. It is showing others that they too can push on. This is different from being arrogant. You can be arrogant by [...]

When Grace Abounds

Yesterday was a day of turmoil, frustration, temptations, desperation, dejection, stress and pain. Everything that could have gone wrong did. But somehow in His miraculous ways, the truest of it’s meaning was revealed. Grace paved a way for the day. When my heart stirs into an endless whirl, He comes over with His hand to [...]

the woman’s worth

I saw this from a friend’s blog (yes glori, i read your blog *gasp!*). And i thought that it was very encouraging (from a girl’s point of view), and it really reminds me to treat a girl like a girl (which we men usually forget). I dedicate this to my mum cos she really fits [...]

exploring modern day martyrdom

The recent news informs us of the tragedy in Afghanistan where yesterday a second hostage was killed due demands not met between both parties. It was my mum who broke the news to the family. And the first time I heard it, I honestly didn’t know how to respond. I was indifferent. I didn’t know [...]

Romans: Book of Riches

This is going to be a long a super duper long article, taken from the book ‘Knowing God’ by J.I. Packer. It is an excellent commentary on the books of Romans (which was actually meant to describe the adequacy of God). A must read for all Christians and those who seek to understand the laws [...]

the first rule.

take time to read and digest. When the resurrected Jesus appeared to Peter, who had betrayed him three times, he asked three questions which were really the same question: ‘Do you love me?’ Somehow our love means something incalculable to God of the universe. Once, when asked to identify the most important rule in life, [...]

12 rules for marriage

Just in case i need this in the near future. My sister asked me, as part of her wedding ceremony, to Say Something About Marriage. I’ve been married for over two years, so obviously I have way too much insight on this issue than could reasonably be fit into the middle of an otherwise fairly [...]

epoh

it is the very thing that enables a striker to get up and keep going, knowing that the game isn’t over yet and there is still a fighting chance. it is the very thing that enables a starving man along the street to keep moving, because he knows there must be a purpose behind everything. [...]

saily dtruggles

Somehow for myself, i found keeping close to God easier in examination and trying times than those that i have nothing-to-do-and-bum-around. Ironies of my life. I found it easy to rely on God in those times because i realised that i have nothing in myself to keep myself ‘alive’ in my situations. Therefore i fall [...]

the better samaritan

Being brought up in a Christian family would have one being told countless parables from the Bible. The “Good Samaritan” is one of them telling of how a man got assaulted and robbed, but picked up by a neighbour. 27He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your [...]

A girl worth fighting for

I was just suddenly reminded of the song in the Disney Movie, Mulan. The movie about a decent chinese girl, fighting for a decently old papa in a decent Chinese war. A film about filial piety (a phrase that till today, i still cant quite pronounce quite properly sigh.), a virtue valued by my chinese [...]
