He has shown all you people what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.
- Micah 6:8And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.

Uniting for the good of the country
Posted on 27 September 2010 by TK Tan
I like what Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said in a speech at a function in Batu Pahat yesterday. In a report by The Malaysian Insider, Zaid was quoted to have called upon PR to stand together with BN on issues that needed to be resolved.
“A show of unity would send…
While I was sleeping
Posted on 27 September 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
I have woken up to the state of affairs in Malaysia: my rights have been eroded. Previously I wrote of being lifted from gloom by four stories veteran lawyer Datuk Azzat Kamaludin told at NCOI5 on 16 September 2010. Here, I will try to do justice to retired Justice Datuk…
The need for those inflicting wounds to be forgiven (Part 1)
Posted on 27 September 2010 by Peter Young
We have already noted that our sins – ungodly attitudes, thoughts, words and actions (sins of commission) and failure to do what we know to be good (sins of omission) always wound GOD, OTHERS AND OURSELVES. Therefore, we stand in need of forgiveness. In this PPP, we will consider our…
Matthew 5:3
Posted on 27 September 2010 by Peter Young
God blesses those who realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them. (Matthew 5:3, NEW LIVING TRANSLATION)
Do we realize our need for God as we begin each day?

CCM Youth Press Release
Kuala Lumpur – 22 Sept 2010. CCM Youth issued a press statement today, referring to various news reports received of a Temiar Orang Asli church in Pos Pasik, Kelantan facing threats of demolition, without any valid reason given by the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli (JHEOA).…
Move on my dear fellow
Posted on 22 September 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
The latest spat between UMNO and PAS in Kelantan reminds me of the dear blonde who was hogging a vending machine. Many were waiting behind her. She had taken ten cans out, but continued to put in coins and get out cans. When someone said “hey, get a move on,”…
Religious harmony
Posted on 20 September 2010 by TK Tan
Today I read a Bernama article about a meeting between the Inter-Religious Committee to Promote Mutual Understanding and Harmony among Religions and the Prime Minister at the PM’s office. If you remember this committee got off to a rocky start when the muslim clerics objected to Dr Koh Tsu Koon’s…
Joshua 1:9
Posted on 20 September 2010 by Peter Young
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9, NIV)
How we need to obey this command and experience this promise!
The costly wounds of God’s forgiveness
Posted on 20 September 2010 by Peter Young
God is a holy God and therefore, when we do wrong and ask for mercy, he cannot just say:’tidak apa, it does not matter. I forgive you.’ Our sin has to be dealt with and punished. And, at great cost: THE FATHER GAVE HIS SON and THE SON GAVE…
Comment on “A plea for empathy by Dr. Chandra Muzaffar”
Posted on 15 September 2010 by Ramon Navaratnam
Prof Chandra Muzaffar’s interview in the NST dated September 8th 2010 comes out quite balanced, although he glosses over some important issues.
These significant issues need to be clarified if the ‘empathy’ that he appeals for, in his NST interview entitled A Plea for EMPATHY IN ETHNIC RELATIONS, is…
Hannah Yeoh on Re-Building Malaysia
Posted on 15 September 2010 by Alwyn Lau
It was a pleasure and inspiration to listen to Hannah Yeoh’s address on Christians and the Church’s Role in Nation-Building (on September 5th at Luther House Chapel). It isn’t every Sunday our congregation is treated to (and challenged by?) stories, pleas and exhortations to take up the mantle of…
The Koran, Flag Burning and the Role of Government
Posted on 15 September 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
A call by the leader of “that church” in the United States to burn the Koran on 11 September has been widely reported and discussed. There has been much burning – not of books but of hearts. The indignation has been widespread, with Christians at the forefront. Indignant Malaysian Christians…
