Closer Day By Day

Bible Passage:  Acts 20 Reading many of the previous blog postings and comments on Acts of the Apostles, I see a great focus on evangelism.  And this is right because that is what the Church is supposed to be… a place where God’s truth and news of Salvation is to be preached from Jerusalem, all [...]

We are living in a multi-racial and multi-religious country; therefore, being tolerant is very vital to maintain the harmonious environment. We have to be sensitive to the people around us. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Rom 12:18 In today’s reading, we will see that Apostle [...]

Sometimes, it’s quite amazing how the events and places recorded in the Bible parallel the things that happen in our lives as well as the world we live in today. It just shows how timeless the word of God is and how blessed we are to have it guide us today. In the chapter for [...]

Bible Passage:  Acts 14 The year is 2010.. The place is Singapore.. We are living in a peaceful era, in a peaceful place. When I say peaceful, I’m referring to the context of living in an environment of religious freedom, where we as Christians can worship our God in peace and with almost no restrictions, [...]

Bible Passage:  Acts 11 Except for our early worker Barnanas Chang, I cannot quite recall if I know of any church member by the name of Barnabas (if you know me and I have forgotten about you.. please forgive me! (: ) It is surprising that so few are called Barnabas … but maybe not… [...]
