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.

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…
Job 29 : 15 -16
Posted on 24 January 2011 by Peter Young
I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame,
Father to the needy,
and champion of abused aliens. (Job 29:15-16, The Message)
Do we as individuals and as local churches follow the example of Job who gave this personal testimony?
John 10:14-15

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10:14-15, NIV)
We have such a wonderful shepherd. How well do we know him?…
Hebrews 13:8
Posted on 10 January 2011 by Peter Young
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, NIV)
2011 will bring changes in many aspects of our lives. Some of these may not seem too welcome. However, we will not face them alone because Jesus Christ, who never changes, will be with us to see…
2 Corinthians 9:15
Posted on 03 January 2011 by Peter Young
‘Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!’ (2 Corinthians 9:15, NIV)
The gift, of course, is Jesus Christ. Other versions of the Bible describe the gift as: ‘priceless’, ‘beyond words’ and ‘too wonderful for words’. And so, each day of 2011, whatever the circumstances may be, our waking thoughts…
Another year is dawning
Posted on 27 December 2010 by Administrator
Another year is dawning,
Dear Master, let it be,
In working, or in waiting,
Another year with Thee.
Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace;
Another year of gladness
In the shining of Thy face.
Another year of progress,
Another year of praise,
Another year of proving
Thy presence…
John 3 : 16
Posted on 27 December 2010 by Peter Young
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV)
During this season of Christmas and the New Year, it is good for us to remind ourselves of both God’s…
Be like the wisemen

Text: Matthew 2:1-12
It is interesting to note that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, another town some 120 kilometres away or about 2 days journey by foot from Nazareth, the town where Mary and Joseph was living at that time. Because Caesar Augustus, the Roman emperor called for a population…
My snapshots of Christmas 2010
Posted on 20 December 2010 by TK Tan
Yes, I know Christmas is still a few days away. Still I don’t think anything else I see will define my Christmas as these few images that have left an imprint on my conscience.
The first was at dinner last week. It was already dark, around 7.30pm, when I saw…
Luke 2:13-14
Posted on 20 December 2010 by Peter Young
‘At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God’s praises:
Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
Peace to all men and women on earth who please him’ (Luke 2:13-14, The Message)
This Christmas evening event reminds us that we should give glory to God not…
Colossians 3:12-14
Posted on 13 December 2010 by Peter Young
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put…
Zechariah 14:9
Posted on 06 December 2010 by Peter Young
9The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name. (Zechariah 14:9, NIV)
As we serve the LORD, NOW we should also have a deep longing for what WILL BE.
