  Click to listen to the songs  What simple worshipful songs indeed that move us to tears—even when we don’t understand the language!  Songs that unite every voice, young and old, in a worship symphony. Have we rediscovered true worship, where Christ alone is the centre—uncluttered by noise, untouched by modern distraction?  Could this be the sound of heaven’s own symphony of praise—familiar melodies that stir the soul and awaken eternity within us? Have we lost it through our pursuit of modern trend of music that leaves many of us spiritually dry, especially when we cannot keep up with the pace?  This YouTube link someone  shared with me leads to a live worship session that beautifully embodies the true spirit of worship—gentle, reverent, and Christ-focused. Agree, say, Amen? I believe this is how the angelic host and the twenty-four elders worship before the throne of God. And is this not also how we are called to worship—in spirit and in truth, with Chri...

Read on to understand why I want to promote theological education.  These days, theological schools offer online classes via Zoom and other platforms, making theological education more accessible. There are a variety of programmes available (www.mbts.org.my). To register, simply fill out the form here: MBTS Registration . I have particularly enjoyed the Old Testament and New Testament modules I’ve completed over the past eight years. Looking back, I should have started much earlier. Now, as I pursue my doctoral programme with MBTS, I’d like to share some of the programmes they have organised. Theological schools play a crucial role in equipping even lay leaders, especially in teaching and preaching ministries. This has been evident in how I now unpack the book of Romans using an approach I had never previously experimented with, as I seek to contextualise the word of God to our local community of believers and make the Bible easily understood by ordinary believers.  You will a...

  At Seremban Life Assembly  Unpacking the book of Romans (part 1) March 9, 2025 Unpacking the book of Romans (part 2) May 4, 2025 Post Script:  Please read this for the sake of greater clarity in my efforts to unpack the book of Romans: In part 2 of Romans, I intended to emphasise that the Law of God is spiritual and good. However, its standards surpass human ability to bring us into a right relationship with God.  Righteousness based on obedience to God's laws remains unattainable, as our sinful nature ultimately prevails, leaving us condemned under the law of sin and death. At the Kairos moment, God intervened, sending Christ to pay the debt of our sins. As a result, we are no longer bound by the law of Moses, which cannot restore our relationship with God—we are now under grace. If we respond to God's grace in faith, accepting the gift of righteousness freely offered through Christ, secured by His blood shed on the cross, we will no longer face condemnation. Inst...

Can Christians go for Chin Beng? Answer : Yes. Treat it as a family reunion. But memory of the deceased should not be only once a year. The sacrifices that the deceased should always remain in our hearts as a form of our gratitude. More importantly is when the person is alive, we treat them well, as the deceased is either in Heaven or in the lake of fire. There is a vast chasm between the living and the dead.  Can Christians participate in praying to the deceased? Answer : No. Prayer is associated with the spirit world and it is usually associated with what are known as the fallen angels, not the spirit of the deceased. We pray to only one triune God, who loves us and died for us.  Can Christians eat food offered to the deceased or to an idol? Answer : yes and no. Yes, because of Paul’s rationale: “Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one. For even if there are s...

Understanding Greek verb forms can be like learning the different moves in a game. Let's break them down with simple explanations and examples. In grammar, the “ indicative ” mood is used for statements of fact , like saying “She is happy.” In Greek grammar, the subjective mood is often used to express actions or ideas that are uncertain, possible, hypothetical, or desired, rather than facts . The subjunctive often appears in situations like: Wishes: I wish she were here. Possibilities: If I were rich, I would travel the world Suggestions or requests: It’s important that he study for the exam. In ancient Greek, the subjunctive mood was used in a similar way, often after certain verbs, conjunctions, or phrases that imply uncertainty, possibility, or necessity. For example, in Ancient Greek, you might see something like: • ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃς (so that you may not die), where the verb “ἀποθάνῃς” is in the subjunctive to express a potential action. So, in short, the subjunctive (subjecti...
