UPDATE! TO WATCH THE VIDEO PLEASE SCROLL DOWN Hi parents,  I just wrote an interview article about Rev Tryphena.  Note that I mentioned 20% of Gen Z in America identify themselves as LGBTQ and this number is expected to increase. We are already seeing the influence of the LGBT movement here in Malaysia, albeit very subtly.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Come back to this page if you miss the event. If I have the video I will try to upload it here. If not, contact help@pluc.org.my for the video. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please click the photo to open the article in Focus Malaysia. Join the meeting to learn more about this important subject.  The PJ Gospel Hall Ladies In Touch ministry warmly welcomes you to the  next session in our series CONFLICTED WORLD, CONSTANT GOD.  Sunday 4 June 2023 @4pm (zoom session). It will deal with an issue which has become a global talking point.

  Nowadays, the constantly emerging new media and new technologies are impacting the church. As a result, today's church faces many challenges, like adapting to new technology, experimenting with new ministry platforms or approachers, and even new forms of theological heresies that may threaten the very nature of the gospel. Therefore, we would like to use this meeting to help churches reflect on the topic of "Ecclesiology" in modern society. The four-day event consists of: (1) Sharing from the main speaker Dr. Mikko Sivonen, he is the Associate Dean at Agricola Theological Seminary in Finland; (2) Workshops where students can learn some tips on improving academic research writing skills; (3) Presentations from post-grad students exploring regarding the topic of "Ecclesiology" and other theological themes in-depth. We invite you to join us! Theme: Ecclesiology Date: 20-23 June (Tuesday-Friday) Time: 8.30am-1.00pm Main Speaker: Dr. Mikko Sivonen Platform: Hybrid

This is a very useful tool for research students.      Last year, I bought iPhone 13 using the Maxis package, paying only about RM100 + a month for three years. I noticed that on Whatsapp, they have "Scan Text."      When I decided to click on it, I found it interesting. It is able to recognise text from a printed page. In short, I can now scan any paragraph from a book and save it on my Word document used for Research Notes.        To do this, first, you place your phone on top of the paragraph. Not sure if it works with any other Applications, but it certainly does with Whatsapp. When you put your finger, it will show you the option "Scan text." Click on this.     Make sure that the highlight  covers an entire paragraph (or section) and send it to yourself.      By installing Whatsapp on your laptop, you can automatically access the text on Whatsapp. Copy and paste the text into your notes.      Now, I know some of you may ask how to send Whatsapp to yourself.

   This, too, is online.  In Malaysia, we have many seminaries that produce graduates with MDiv. BUT, what's next? Since teaching is so crucial to churches and teaching happens within the context of a one-to-one discipleship, small groups, Sunday school classes, church training programmes and schools, as well as  from the church pulpit, MTh is a good choice especially for non-cleric church leaders!

  I would like to strongly recommend this module offered by Dr Siew Woh at AOIC in May, 2022 especially since it is now available online.           Dr Siew Woh is currently based in Sydney, Australia. I have attended his class on Introduction of the Old Testament before and he has a way to make learning the Old Testament fun.           You will enjoy all the anecdotes that he would inject into his classes.

Introduction           Coming from different backgrounds, the two apostles, Peter and Paul became great leaders in their own ways. Peter was handpicked by Jesus along with the other disciples to become the apostle to the Jews while Paul was a persecutor of the church but later he became the greatest apostle to the Gentiles (Romans 1:13). He became the founder of churches in Asia Minor and Greece, and he had great influence on the Church through the centuries (Buttrick 1962, 681).           Peter, whose original name was Simon (or Simeon), was also known as “Cephas” (Aramaic) or “Petra” (Greek). Translated, it means “Rock” or “Stone” (Gundry 1981, 121, 147). He was a man with low education, and somewhat unrefined in his character. A fisherman by profession, Peter was later called to fish for men (Matthew 4:19). He was designated as the leader of the Jerusalem church for at least the first 15 years of the church (Acts 1-12) (Buttrick 1962, 753).         Meanwhile, Paul was an educated Ph

(This assignment is a partial fulfilment for the module on Old Testament Survey. In all, there are three assignments that must be submitted) In Genesis 12:1-3, we see God's promise was made with Abram, and those who bless Abram will be blessed, and those who curse Abram will be cursed. I will show you why it is Abraham and not Israel. Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; 2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”         Later, in Genesis 17:1-2, God reiterated again His covenant with Abram who was re-named Abraham: Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him,“I am God Almighty;Walk before Me, and be blameless
