TUHAN telah memberitahu kita apa yang baik.
Perkara yang dituntut oleh TUHAN daripada kita adalah supaya kita berlaku adil,
selalu mengamalkan kasih, dan dengan rendah hati hidup bersatu dengan Allah kita.
- Mikha 6:8Perkara yang dituntut oleh TUHAN daripada kita adalah supaya kita berlaku adil,
selalu mengamalkan kasih, dan dengan rendah hati hidup bersatu dengan Allah kita.

Towering leaders
Posted on 26 October 2010 by TK Tan
Rightly or wrongly, the core of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak’s efforts to reform Malaysia’s economy and kickstart once again its efforts to gain developed nation status by 2020, is now symbolized by the 100-storey Warisan Merdeka tower that has been proposed in the 2010 budget.
To the…
Authentic partnerships
Posted on 25 October 2010 by Vinoth Ramachandra
I wish to expand on comments about partnerships that I have made earlier. Those of us who live in centres of political and financial power can, through simple neighbourly actions—writing a letter to a national newspaper, buying shares in a corporation so that one can attend the annual general meeting…
Ephesians 1:17
Posted on 25 October 2010 by Peter Young
17I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. (Ephesians 1:17, NIV)
As we pray this prayer for others, we also need to change the ‘you’ to ‘me’ and…
Nursing a grudge
Posted on 25 October 2010 by Peter Young
The following historical story tells us what happened when King Herod’s wife Herodias, nursed a grudge against John the Baptist.
Mark 6:14 -29
King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is…
The media, violence and partnership
Posted on 20 October 2010 by Vinoth Ramachandra
Recently we saw a pitiful demonstration of the power of the Internet, coupled with the way global media corporations love to promote religious extremists. Why did the media seize on the words of an obscure, sectarian pastor of an unknown Florida church with less than 50 members and broadcast it…
Do we need another skyscraper?
Posted on 20 October 2010 by Allen Tan
Finance Minister cum Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has tabled the 2011 budget. It amounts to RM212 billion which is the highest ever in Malaysian history.
Unfortunately with the huge sum of money to be spent, it does not benefit the people at large. Does Najib have the…
Zephaniah 3 : 17
Posted on 18 October 2010 by Peter Young
17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3 :17, NIV)
Note what the Lord our God IS and also what he WILL…

Posted on 18 October 2010 by Peter Young
B FORGIVING THOSE WHO HAVE WOUNDED US (cont’d)

We have already dealt with this and it can be summed up in the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:14 – 15
14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will…
Rising above ground, self and country
Posted on 15 October 2010 by Goh Keat Peng
The story of the restoration of the thirty-three trapped miners to their loved ones will live long in our memories and be amongst inspirational human stories which tug at our hearts and give us courage and encouragement in times of frail nerves and hopeless thoughts. The odds of being given…
2 Corinthians 1 : 21 -22
Posted on 11 October 2010 by Peter Young
21Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. (2 Corinthians 1: 21-22, NIV)
Have we received this wonderful seal…
Managing change
Posted on 11 October 2010 by TK Tan
Someone, in writing about “managing change,” made the point that when change is first envisioned it is usually in very broad idealistic terms. That vision needs to be broken down into manageable stages with goals that are more realistic and have a shorter time frame. The point is that a…
The need for the wounded to forgive (part 1)
Posted on 11 October 2010 by Peter Young
When we have been wounded, whom do we need to forgive?
A FORGIVING GOD?
When we face a family or personal crisis (such as criminal attacks, accidents, disease or disability, marriage failure, redundancy, natural disasters, etc), it is tempting to blame God for allowing such events to take place. If…
