monotony

what do you do on those days…
when His hand doesn’t seem to be present…
in any particularly spectacular way?
what do you do on those days…
when life just passes you by so quickly
you enjoy yourself for the moment
but collapse on your bed feeling as if…
nothing eternally significant took place?
what do you do on those days…
when you don’t [...]

The feeling’s still rather surreal, sitting in my bedroom, blogging on wordpress. It feels like a dream to be back in Singapore – just 28 hours ago, we set off from a tiny hotel in London, flew to Doha, spent 6 hours in transit, and flew again. After the preceding events of the past two [...]

It was one of the important commands of Jesus to ‘make disciples of all men’ and to spread the Word of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. As a believer, one should not be ashamed of the Gospel, but should boldly proclaim it to others.
As I spoke to my Catholic roommate today, it [...]

re:re:piano

in spite of what you may think,
i know how it feels
trampling over broken
pieces.
having looked at both sides now
one side, pain.
the other side, guilt
in the end, the same
it’s still pain.
why must you prolong the hurt for yourself?

there’s a God who still cares for thee.
the years weren’t wasted.

two years on, i’ll let you know
that [...]

to a God of love

shall i be honest with You?
there are times when i wonder what happens to those who don’t hear the gospel
- is it fair that they go to hell?
there are times when i wonder how is it that you love all men
- when some are elected, and others not.
there are times when i wonder how you [...]

exodus 26

“so what did you learn from this passage?”
i was blank for a bit. and so he spoke
“well first, you learn how to build a tabernacle, that’s useful…
…and then you learn that sometimes there are boring parts of life
practical parts of life, like doing math or studying natural science or biology.
not everything’s always about theology and [...]

piano

i found a piano today. it was the kind that you would have wanted.

silent knowing

it’s been so long since i’ve last written, and so much has transpired. but i shall take it one step at a time. today it shall be about the state of spiritual affairs in my own walk, which has of late been somewhat distressing.
the feeling is strange. increasingly i dread sin, hate it, want to [...]

intellect

I just didn’t know what was wrong this morning. It was going to be a great day, a monday with only one lecture (from 10 to 11) and the rest of it off. And yet as I plonked myself at my usual QT spot against the side of my bed, there was once again nothing, [...]

blindness

I scoured the shelves of Oxfam (a pretty neat charity shop in Cambridge, which sells second-hand goods), hoping to find a meaningful book on Christianity. There was C.S. Lewis’ ‘The Four Loves’, which I endeavor to read one day, but something else caught my eye, and that was a book called ‘What’s Wrong‘, written by [...]
