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.

A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF DATO' DR DAVID GUNARATNAM: Missions Statesman, first chairman of OMF Home Council Malaysia

By
This paper is published again on 12 October 2021 to encourage more young people who are considering Missions as their calling. Prior to this, this paper was on placed on "draft" format in this blog. By Stephen Ng   Introduction             Jim Wilson in his chapter, “Reaching Youth in Asia,” wrote: “…church chroniclers, and other data gatherers estimate that somewhere in the area of 92% of the people of Asia are uncommitted to Christ” (Douglas, 61) .             Much of the early work of pioneering churches in Malaysia was therefore done by the missionaries from the West. Between 1951 and 1972, over 150 missionaries from China Inland Missions (CIM) invested their lives in helping to meet the practical needs of the locals such as medical work and education. [1] A team of young and faithful men and women who came under the direct influence of these missionaries were, in return, able to nurture the next generation that, after these Western missionaries had to leave Malays

WHY A THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT FOR THE MARKETPLACE MEN AND WOMEN

By
A former seminary lecturer, Dr Philip Koh, upon reading this blog post , wrote me a short message on whatsapp:  Stephen, your essay insisting on a right understanding of the literary genre of Revelation is lucid in expression, succinct in form, and systematic in presentation. I too wrote a lot of theological essays... which led to the cultivation of the higher order thinking skills of Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive learning outcomes.        Dr Koh is right. In fact, after embarking on my pursuit of a theological  education in two seminaries (1) , this is one thing that I can testify to: it has helped me to crystallize my thinking as I put my thoughts in writing.           In a follow up message, he wrote: As l had to grapple with different and often dialectically opposite theological positions on the Second Coming of Jesus or the Millenial kingdom of Jesus on this earth.  Theological education not only trains a person in how to engage in abstract philosophical

Importance of Literary Genre in Interpreting the Book of Revelations

By
A look at how literary genre affects the interpretation of Book of Revelations  By Stephen Ng Introduction   In the world of literature, genre simply means the ‘kind of writing’ (Keener 1993, 825) used in the literature. Gorman defines it as “a set of texts with common, distinctive feature” (Gorman 2001, 76) . It determines how a passage is to be interpreted   (Marshall, Travis and Paul 2002, 324) . Therefore, based on the conventions that an author uses, the genre can be broadly described as letter, narrative, historical, biography or poem. It is important that the genre is correctly identified as it would define how a particular passage or text is to be interpreted. Revelation is a book of hope. In the same manner that the Old Testament prophets spoke of a coming Messiah; in Revelation, we are looking forward to be with Christ in his full glory. When interpreting Revelation, it is important to have this overall context in mind. Revelation – A Brief Discussion on its Gen

EVERY COVENANT IS PART OF GOD'S DIVINE PLAN

By
(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

“A GREAT PROMISE: I SHALL RETURN” An Exegetical Paper on Ezekiel 43:1-5

By
By Stephen Ng Text: Ezekiel 43:1-5 (NASB) Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing toward the east;   2  and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east.             And His voice was like the sound of many waters;                         and the earth shone with His glory.                                       3  And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw,                                                               like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city.                                     And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar;                                             and I fell on my face.   4  And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.              5  And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court;                         and behold, the glory of the  Lord  filled the house.
