Knowing how to give good gifts

Posted on 20 June 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

- a Father’s Day message Christians march to the tune of Christ. Where He sends, we will go. This was a lesson learned and executed by the paralytic whom Christ healed in Matthew 9.6,7: …he then said to the Paralytic—”rise, take up your bed and go home.” And he rose…

A mere whimper of a prayer

Posted on 01 June 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

My attempts late last night and early this morning at describing the meaning of Gaza and the plight of its people have all ended with neither coherence nor completion. Words fail. I could find no mind or talent or technique equal to the task. So much needs to be done…

We Don’t Take Such Money

Posted on 17 May 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Regardless of the results of the Sibu parliamentary by-elections, the reported “special grants” of RM1.75 million to four Methodist churches on the eve of polling day is very troubling to me as a Christian who attends a Methodist church and I am sure to many other Christians. It is always…

Why does a Chicken cross the road?

Posted on 21 April 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Child Abuse is an Adult Crime

Posted on 01 April 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Children are God’s most wonderful and precious gifts to us. The world may be run and monopolised by grown-ups but a world without children will be deprived of the unique ways in which children force us grown-ups to view, learn and understand the fundamentals of life.  The child’s perspective is…

The Discomfort of Getting Off the Fence

Posted on 15 March 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

No matter how uncomfortable a fence may be as an improvised seat, the alternative to sitting on it, that is, to get off from it may for many be not a very comfortable option. The human anatomy having got used to a certain position or posture may prefer to stay…

The Discomfort Of Sitting On The Fence

Posted on 04 March 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Of all the places one can think of, the fence must be about the most uncomfortable place on earth to sit (or perch) on. To sit on the fence for a while may be alright but certainly not for long. Fences will poke and scratch us in our most tender…

Did They Remember To Take Off Their Shoes?

Posted on 22 January 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, a spiritually poignant moment occurred when Moses “.. came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the…
