Thinking Blogger, Moi?
2008-02-06 09:56:00 Dan at BibleDude.net has been most kind to award me with this Thinking Blogger Award for being ‘relevant and interesting’. Frankly, I never thought I would deserve such an award because I just put down whatever was on my mind. Admittedly, those thoughts are most often a result of a bad case of insomnia which strikes ...

Tongues, Healing And Gifts Of The Spirit
2008-02-05 16:11:00 There’s an interesting debate going on in response to my post “Short Takes” that went up over the weekend on the issue of tongues, healing and the gifts of the Spirit. I’m staying out of it for good reason, but I hope the brothers debating will do it in the spirit of brotherly love. It is also ... More About: Christianity , Gifts , Spirits , Debate , Healing
The Sicarii Theme
2008-02-04 17:36:00 Well, I finally got to modifying a theme I like to how I want it to look. Sure, it looks nothing as spectacular as Justin’s, which I really like, but hey! it’s my own effort and I think it looks better than the last one which I modified off Kubrick. It’s got elements from some of ... More About: Blogging , Word , Press , Themes , Theme
Short Takes
2008-02-03 08:38:00 Losing A Taste For The World My wife and I have just returned from a trip to one of the newest and largest shopping malls in Singapore — Vivocity — to turn in the set-top box and to cancel our cable TV subscription. None of the shops there fascinated us at all, and nothing seemed to catch ... More About: Shopping , Commentary , Bible , Cakes , Weekend
Christian Wives Should Not See This!
2008-02-01 10:54:00 Who would have thought that the joke that my wife always loves to use on me when I’d inevitably get lost while driving would have made it as a comic? Yes, she’d always tell me that the reason why Moses was in the 40 years in the desert with the Israel ites was because he, being a ... More About: Christian , Humor , Comic , Marriage
Faith And Technology
2008-01-31 18:25:00 It’s worrying me a little. I’ve been slow on the adoption of ‘new’ technologies in the past couple of years. Take, for example, this wonderful technology called a ‘podcast’. I’ve seen it everywhere, but never really paid any attention to it, nor took the time to find out what it does or how it can benefit me. In ...

Obesity A Problem Because We Have Not Evolved
2008-01-30 11:46:00 I heard this over BBC Radio last evening and had a chuckle. According to the scientist (I think) on the program, the reason why there are so many obese people in developed and even in developing counties is because humans have not evolved from our primal needs for food. Where once our ancestors hunted animals for food, ... More About: Health , Commentary , Food , Evolution
B-lood-What?!
2008-01-29 19:46:00 I kid you not when I say that there are just some really, really bad ‘Christian’ T-shirt folks out there. So, if you plan on proclaiming your faith with a Christian T-shirt, please do it with some discernment. I present to you three of the worst examples: The Blood -Wiser The blood that our Lord Jesus Christ shed on ... More About: Christianity , T-Shirts , Evangelism , Tongues
Go Share Your Faith!
2008-01-28 16:36:00 I had intended to post my take on some other issue initially, but decided to pass on this video instead after watching it in the hopes that it shall also encourage and inspire you as it did me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbuV53kJz1 M Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of ...

Burnt Warnings
2008-01-27 21:19:00 In Jeremiah 36, we read of how Jeremiah the prophet was instructed by God to write down all the warnings against Israel and Judah on a scroll and have it read to King Jehoiakim and the people of Judah during the fourth year of the latter’s reign. This was during the time when the Babylonians under ... More About: Christianity , Prophet , Timothy
How Would The Mass Media Of Today Report The Crucifixion?
2008-01-26 19:24:00 Reading all the hoopla surrounding the deaths of famous people like the recently-departed Heath Ledger and others in years past made me just wonder what today’s mass media might say about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ if the event were to be set in these days. It just amazes me sometimes how much people grieve and ... More About: Media , Commentary , Celebrity , Analysis , Today
Which Theologian Are You?
2008-01-24 07:44:00 Here’s the result of a pretty fun quiz that I did just awhile ago. It’s just quite surprising that I’d be identified with John Calvin. Hmm… Which theologian would you be? Which theologian are you? created with Quiz Farm.com You scored as John Calvin. Much of what is now called Calvinism had more to do with his followers than Calvin himself, ...

The Ecumenical Movement And The Golden Rule
2008-01-23 11:49:00 Is this the beginnings of the one-world faith/religion that shall come in the Last Days? I don’t think so because the movement has been in effect for some time, but this is definitely an open declaration that the movement is well and is being pushed to all and sundry from the United Nations, starting with the ...

The Accuracy Of Biblical Prophecy
2008-01-22 16:08:00 How great is our God, for He is the living God! What the LORD has said He has brought to pass to the day, and testified to not only in the Bible, but by archaeological facts, and even by the writings of secular historians. Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember the ... More About: Prophecy , Biblical
Your Word Is A Lamp To My Feet
2008-01-21 16:48:00 Everyone knows what a lamp is for — without lamps many of us would be walking blind in the darkness of night, especially me. I have a degree of night blindness that does not allow me to see much of the landscape at night and I often go bumping into some object when on military ... More About: Word , Feet , Lamp
The Heart Of Rock And Roll
2008-01-20 16:49:00 If you still love secular music, this 4-part series will explicitly remind you of the warning given of God when Paul wrote: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. – ...

The Encouragement Of Saints
2008-01-18 14:11:00 Here are some of my favorite quotes from two of the most faithful and true teachers of God’s Word — John Piper and Paul Washer . I hope that they, too, encourage you and spur you on to examine your Christian walk. John Piper “Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God ...

The Graham Formula
2008-01-17 17:25:00 I have just finished watching this really interesting seven-part series that illustrates the evolution of evangelism methods from pre-20th Century to the watered-down versions of altar calls and pre-made repeat-after-me “sinner’s prayers” that we today experience. The series is a video presentation based on the book of the same title by Patrick McIntyre. By explaining the ... More About: Christianity , Faith , Formula , Salvation , Evangelism
The Fallacies That Stumble
2008-01-16 14:00:00 Have you ever considered why we back-slide now and then and fall away sometimes, or just don’t have the motivation to read the Bible, pray and sing praises to God? While it’s a fact that we all go through dry spells, why then do some of us slip away so much that there’s an actual term ... More About: Christianity , Faith , Thanksgiving , Stumble , Fear

Social Networking For Christians
2008-01-15 11:17:00 I’ve been a member at two new social networking sites specifically tailored for Christians for some time now. Now, I am no longer a big fan of social networking for the sole reason that Facebook has simply put me off a little with all the hassles. No, no, I appreciate all the ’superpokes’ and stuff that ...

The LORD Heals
2008-01-14 17:42:00 Thank you, everyone, who has remembered me and the pain I was going through in your prayers! The LORD heals indeed! Hallelu et Adonai!

The Prodigal Son
2008-01-08 14:44:00 The parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps the most loved parable of Jesus Christ among many Christians, and probably the most told as well. Why the popularity, so to speak? For one, it speaks volumes of God’s love for us sinners. Secondly, most of us see ourselves in the prodigal son that returned to his father ...

The Parables Of Christ Jesus: A Series
2008-01-07 18:44:00 I love the parables that our Lord Christ Jesus taught in the Bible . I love that the parables are such simple stories that teach so much about the kingdom of God. Why did our Lord Jesus Christ teach using parables? By teaching in parables, two prophecies were fulfilled — one is Isaiah 6:9-10, and the other in ... More About: Series , Prophecy

A Leper Shows Us How To Ask
2008-01-04 10:26:00 During His ministry on earth, our Lord Jesus Christ cleansed a good number of lepers as recorded in the Gospels. Perhaps the best-known and oft-preached story of such cleansings is in the account of the 10 lepers (Luke 17:11-19). In fact, the Hebrew word in the Masoretic texts for leprosy is tzaraath, which is an incurable ... More About: God , Prayer , Devotional , Healing
Ooh, This Just Makes Me So Mad!
2008-01-03 02:20:00 I get both really riled up and sad at the same time whenever I hear or read of those who profess to be serving God fleece gullible people out of their hard-earned money while giving them false promises.

Hating Sin
2008-01-02 06:09:00 We are all taught that God is love, and that’s all we seem to hear very often nowadays, from the pulpits down to bumper stickers. Yet, very few people remember to remind themselves that above all, God is holy! Oh, we all get that fuzzy feeling that God loves us despite of all our shortcomings, but ...

More articles from this author:2008-01-01 10:29:00 Perhaps there comes a time in your walk with God where you realize that maybe you have learned so much falsehoods or teachings that have been twisted in one way or another from church and even the most respected pastors and teachers, that you think that perhaps you haven’t really lived a real Christian life.
