Choices

By -
We really have a lot of choices when it comes to communication today.

In the past, we only have pigeons and postmen.

Then, we have telephones and telegraphs.

After that, comes mobile phone, emails and instant messaging over computers.

With all advances in technologies, we now have smartphones which can log into internet to allow emails and instant messaging on the go.

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 New Testament Foundation and Reflections

By -
There have been a few interesting points which I have reflected over the course of my study in New Testament Foundation module and I thought it profitable to share over here. Firstly, studying Mark 8 makes me reflect on what being a disciple of Christ is really all about. Mark 8:34-38 and Matthew 16:24-27 state the reality of being a disciple of Christ - that it is not an easy route and it requires some level of submission to God and sacrifice in our individual lives. This makes me ponder about the health and wealth gospel that we hear so frequently - that God will bless his people with health and wealth. But if we were to admit that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, then we need to realise that it is not going to be a bed of roses as some preachers will assert. We thus need to understand, as I have asserted somewhere in this blog before, that there is a price to pay for being a disciple of Christ. Secondly, it is about the righteousness of God.

Wearing the cross

By -
Court to decide if Christians can wear a cross openly at work LONDON: The British government is set to argue that Christians do not have the right to wear a cross or crucifix openly at work, in a landmark court case which will be heard by the European Court of Human Rights. The case will seek to establish the human rights of two British women to display the cross, while the government will argue that because the Christian faith does not 'require' them to wear the cross, it does not fall under the remit of human rights. The two women took their fight to the European Court last year after both faced disciplinary action for wearing a cross at work. One of them had lost an earlier employment tribunal decision at the Court of Appeal and was also refused permission to go to the Supreme Court. This is the first time that the British government has been forced to state whether it backs the rights of Christians to wear the symbol at work, the Sunday Telegraph reported. It comes soon af...
