2013 in Review: A Year of Open Doors

I can’t believe we’ve come to the end of another year. In preparation for the new year, which I am calling the “Year of His Presence”, Ling and I have spent most of the last couple of days trying to remodel and reimagine our study room. The piano (not that I play it) and guitar […]

12 Fruit for 12 Months: The Year of Unceasing Fruitfulness in Review

So we come to the last day of 2012 and it’s always good to end by revisiting the premise set forth at the beginning. It helps us to see how far we have come and how faithful God is. As I shared in an earlier post, we were at the first and last services of […]

Blessings Reel – September 2012

It’s a long time coming, but I’ve finally had the time to sit down and put down my thoughts about God’s blessings in my life for September in this Year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. I think that my reflections for September are best captured in Zechariah 4:6: So he said to me, “This is the word […]

Blessings Reel – July 2012

At the beginning of the year, following Joseph Prince’s first sermon of the year, I posted that 2012 would be for me a Year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. Reflecting over the 7 months that has already come and gone, I am all the more convinced of this. Last week, I was watching the movie adaptation of […]

Blessings Reel – June 2012

I know we are already well into July, so reflecting on June has come just a bit late. Last week at cell group, as we were ending the worship time, one of the cell members blurted out an extempore prayer reflecting on God’s goodness and our need for perspective. “Perspective” is an important word because […]

The Day the Holy Spirit Fell

Pastor Benny Ho’s message on “Activating the Gifts of the Holy Spirit” today at Faith Community Church was amazing. It seemed to me that God was orchestrating a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on FCC. Pastor Benny began his message by sharing on the common theme of the four church camps from which he […]

Blessings Reel – May 2012

May has been a big month! I was so busy that I hardly found any time to write any new posts. But it’s been a great month, part of the continuum of this year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. May was also a month when I learnt to rest in Christ’s strength. Certainly, being part of Converge […]

Blessings Reel – April 2012

It’s amazing to think that a third of the year has just flown by. And not just any year, but the Year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. I like the idea of fruitfulness, because it has got nothing to do with what you do and what you can achieve; rather it has to do with where you […]

Blessings Reel – March 2012

Psalm 23:5-6 says: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life. The Message versions says His “beauty and love chase after me every day of my life!” What […]
