I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.’
“Then those ’sheep’ are going to say, ‘Master, what are [...]
From Father Henri Nouwen’s Return of the Prodigal Son
“Often I have asked friends to give me their first impression of Rembrandt’s Prodigal Son. Inevitably, they point to the wise old man who forgives his son: the benevolent patriarch.
“The longer I look at ‘the patriarch’, the clearer it becomes to me that Rembrandt has done something [...]
I think I’ve said it a lot of times, and you probably heard it many more times within the Church…in my PKV (varsity christian fellowship) days, the question we asked ourselves and one another was, how can we be “relevant”, especially to the society we live and work in.
I still operate by that question, but [...]
I was just thinking of the old legend of Lilith, no time to divulge much info here…go wiki “Lilith”.
Anyway, the story goes that Lilith, Adam’s first wife, spoke god’s name and attained power to liberate herself from Adam.
The thing about names in the Bible…there is something of a person, not just his personality, but a [...]
Kit Siang called Teresa Kok a saint.
St. Teresa of Seputeh
I think she’s somewhat of a prophet as well…
Excerpt from an interview of YB Teresa Kok by Guang Ming Daily the same week after her release from unjust detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA)
Q: Will this arrest affect the way you do things in the [...]
As we are all waiting for the dawn of a new era for our beloved Malaysia, let us take some time to listen to conscientious voices from former times…
The ancient social reformer Isaiah Ben Amoz said these words to a corrupted nation, and I think he speaks to us today as well, both as a warning…
Damn [...]
My previous post on the Ahmad Ismail-Koh Tsu Koon episode was published in the Micah Mandate website today, albeit with some alteration (too partisan?? hehehe…)
I have been receiving SMS-es to boycott nasi kandar restaurants for their purported support of Ahmad Ismail’s unapologetic racism and just a few moments ago another SMS asking people to stay [...]
A friend sent me a mail purportedly a testimony of a former Catholic (who claimed to have mastered the Bible, specifically the four gospels) who is now a Muslim….in the email there were challenges thrown on the Christian belief on the Trinity. Below was my short response to my friend who asked for some clarification…
Same [...]
Just came back from St. Anne’s Novena…latin rites. No wonder some people love them. They do really give an “out of this world” taste to the whole sacred mass thing. You get the shiver when they chant the Creedo in latino et al.
And prester Steven Liew (so I heard his name) with mitre on [...]
Luke recorded for us a very interesting story, about two travelers, one anonymous one named Cleopas, on the road to Emmaus.
Richard Bauckham wrote that Cleopas (highly likely the same chap in John 19:25 and according to Eusibus, a relative of Jesus) was probably the main reference of this tradition and therefore his name being highlighted [...]
