https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/18/witness-in-the-workplace A big question all of us will face every now and then is whether to continue at our workplace or to leave for another opportunity. In the Malaysian context, less are inclined to make that call if they are in government service as government servants work for life because of the life long medicalContinue reading “To Stay or To Leave”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/17/this-changes-everything There is nothing more fundamental in the Christian faith than the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. Paul took great pains to preach this and was willing to be arrested so that he could preach the same to Agrippa, the Roman Emperor at Rome, the pinnacle of the knownContinue reading “He is Risen!”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/15/simon-of-cyrene https://www.biblword.net/what-is-the-weight-of-the-cross-that-jesus-carried/ The cross has over time become a symbol of our faith. Catholics make the sign of the cross as a way to prepare for prayer but more importantly to symbolise that they are Catholics. Non believers wear the cross as a pendant, an ornament but I believe those who do so harbour anContinue reading “Carrying the Cross”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/14/and-it-was-night-2 I’m quite sure everyone had experienced betrayal to a certain degree at least once in our lives. Perhaps it was something as simple as someone having promised to keep a secret but started babbling like a canary the moment he was asked the question. Or something as serious as someone we loved having leftContinue reading “Betrayal of the Son of Man”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/13/carried-by-love When we read the Old Testament, we see that the LORD when speaking to the Israelites through His prophets like Isaiah were speaking more of their lives while on earth. If they worshipped Him and no other gods and obey His commandments, He will protect them against their enemies. He will help them winContinue reading “God Will Carry Us Through”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/12/like-us-for-us As the pioneer of our faith, the founder, originator and author, Jesus Christ was God and yet fully human in every way. He was human and yet sinless so that He could become the perfect sacrifice for the atonement of our sins, the Lamb of God that redeemed mankind once and for all, havingContinue reading “Fully Human In Every Way”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/11/making-every-moment-count We know the LORD our God is compassionate and forgiving. So even as we sin, we know when we go back to Him, He will forgive us. We need to of course repent but as we are work in progress, we may still commit the same sin after repentance. More effort needs to putContinue reading “Count Our Moments”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/10/a-king-on-a-donkey Today is Palm Sunday, the day when we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem in a donkey and fulfilling a 500 year old prophesy then that the Prince or Messiah, God’s chosen one, will be riding in a donkey into Jerusalem – righteous and victorious and yet humble and lowly. This event is significant asContinue reading “The King Riding In On A Donkey”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/08/permanent-address Those of us who have moved homes will know what a major hassle that is. I moved from my varsity days from rooms to rooms and finally to two rented homes shared with my brother in law when I got married. Later we moved to our own home, bought at a time when newContinue reading “A Permanent Address”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/04/07/real-hospitality It didn’t happen often but there were times during my Varsity days when I had to skip a meal or downgrade a meal to something simpler like a packet of nasi lemak or just roti canai because I had ran out of money that month. I remembered that my pastor then was perplexed thatContinue reading “Showing A Little Kindness”
