I finished exam

Finally done with my examinations....

It has been a tiring three weeks in school, camping over and being the guard duty personnel for the classroom and as well as the PR personnel for the security guards. Certainly I won't miss sleeping in the sleeping bags although I know I will be doing so in every exam period as long as we enjoy good relations with the security guards at E1A.

Our classroom is certainly the most famous study room in E1A this period. People walked outside the classroom and were amazed by our food... Think they may be envious of what we have... They also saw the sign the Lord is with us, and were amazed. I was also quite amazed to know of the Cellulites who studied at the other classroom near ours. They are a group of Christians also.

Certainly, the memories of this exam would be precious to all, especially those who will be moving on, since this is the last time they will ever experience life as a student in E1A. Closer relationships were also fostered, thanks to the Double Happiness game and the time spent at night with each other. Certainly times have been changing, I really expect that we will see new faces and forge new friendships next sem and beyond. The homely feeling of the classroom is certainly another highlight, esp my corner... you should see my corner to know what is it like to treat the classroom as a home.

Christmas is coming. This I will repeat over and over again until Christmas comes. Christmas is coming. Thank God for Christmas. I really sense that it will be exciting in the upcoming years. Should be starting on ministry business from next year onwards, but that's pending further discussion with the church leaders. Might be going to God@yourbiz conference in Bangkok next year but that's also pending further discussion and should be decided by thursday after talking with Ben about it, since the final decision has to be made on friday. Should be joining BLM soon, but again, that's pending for further discussion. Also thinking of giving up my NOC trip, also pending further discussion. The rationale: I suddenly feel that if I really achieve something in NOC, it will only for myself, but if I stay, probably I can make bigger impact... Then again all these are pending discussion with the leaders.

Christmas is coming, and Jesus Christ is coming to all!!!!!!!!

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c...

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries. Reflecting back on...

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship ...
