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.
Second Thoughts on “Speed”
Posted on 05 February 2011 by Sivin Kit
”Speed” – I’ve been thinking about speed lately. In a lot of discussions on making choices and making judgments, it’s reduced to limited options of whether one should or shouldn’t choose, can we or must we judge. But perhaps the issue is more about speed than anything else.

Second Thoughts on “self-centered prayer”
Posted on 25 January 2011 by Sivin Kit
”Simple Prayer is necessary, even essential, to the spiritual life. The only way we move beyond “self-centred prayer” (if indeed we ever do) is by going through it, not by making a detour around it.
- Richard J. Foster, Prayer, p. 11
My earliest memories of prayer is when…
A Modest Faith?
Posted on 25 December 2009 by Sivin Kit
The classic four weeks in the season of Advent leading to Christmas has become for me a significant way for reflection. Of course, the word “reflection” might seem a little passive where one just sits back to observe and do some thinking, but for me it’s little paths to grow…

Ripples Of Hope ..
Posted on 17 June 2009 by Sivin Kit
I’m glad the “People Like Us” Open Forum on Friday, June 12, co-organized by Muslims Professionals Forum and Friends-in-Conversation went well. In fact, it was much better than I expected! Marina Mahathir was kind enough to give the event extra publicity on her blog which generated some interesting comments.

Good News For Your City: Kuala Lumpur
Posted on 20 April 2009 by Sivin Kit
There has been a lot of bad news in Malaysia for quite a while. Perhaps more will come. The fabric of Malaysian society in public and in private are faced with forces pulling people apart and pulling people down ..
The Washing Of The Feet
Posted on 14 April 2009 by Sivin Kit
The whole practice of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet has always been intriguing for me. Occasionally, I read about it in the papers where a prominent church leader does the ritual before the watchful eye of the media. I’ve done it a couple of times myself in various church…
Pastor for Palestine, Imam for Israel?
Posted on 23 February 2009 by Sivin Kit
A couple of weeks ago, before our media became pre-occupied with the crisis in Perak and the gutter politics over the last one week, The Nut Graph conducted an interview with me on the Gaza crisis and some wider thoughts on The Israeli-Palestine conflict from a Christian perspective.
Notes offering…
Agents of Change – Conversation With Steven Sim
Posted on 23 February 2009 by Sivin Kit
In the light of these trying times that Malaysia is going through, one may wonder what can be done for betterment of society. What’s crucial is who is is stepping out to do what needs to be done. This is especially true when we consider the social and political engagement…
No More Tears: A Solidarity Speech and Prayer
Posted on 02 February 2009 by Sivin Kit
My new friend Zun from Pertubuhan Jemaah Islah Malaysia (JIM), Selangor whom I got to know at the COMPLETE meetings asked a couple of weeks ago whether I could speak for about 5 minutes at an event they planned to organise on the 31st of January 2009. I responded by…
Take Away Jesus And I’ll Be A Coward
Posted on 25 January 2009 by Sivin Kit
“Our country enters the phase of naked display of aggression. When a regime is morally bankrupt it will use immoral means to hold on to power. We might be weak but we still have the power of prayer & silent witnessing. . The unjust may break our bones but they…
A Conversation On The Palestine-Israel Conflict
Posted on 19 January 2009 by Sivin Kit
I’m intrigued by the responses and reactions generated by one rare petition I forwarded out to all my email contacts, perhaps my load of recent links sparked by the Gaza crisis, and also my participation in COMPLETE.
An interesting email came today which mentioned the few Christian voices in Malaysia…
