I’ve always had this idea for a song based on the entire Psalm 23. The first melodic seeds were planted way back in 2007 (back in the Songcraft heyday), and in 2008 I made another serious attempt to complete the song, but somehow it never saw the light of day. All these years the melody [...]

Slow To Anger
Monday, 26 April, 2010
Occasionally you would bump into a daily spiritual passage that is so pertinent that it seems as if God were speaking directly to you, and I don’t believe that such occurrences are mere coincidences. One passage I came across very recently was “Put A Lid On It” by Joe Stowell (here). It dealt with the [...]
Be Still, And Know That I Am God
Wednesday, 14 October, 2009
I really liked today’s Daily Bread entry (here). I thought it was a very timely reminder. To quote: “Lord, we know that true rest can be found only in You. Help us to end our striving and to trust that You will provide. In Your loving arms we find rest. Amen.” Indeed, I can’t think [...]
Our Faithful Friend

I heard this great line from a podcast recently about God being our faithful friend. And the line went – If God seems so far away, guess who moved? I thought it was an awesome line.
Abraham, Sarai, And The Search For A Life Partner
Tuesday, 12 May, 2009
Some of our recent sermons have been on Genesis, and I was reminded of the story of Abraham, Sarai and Hagar. This story is found in Genesis 16 (here), and basically describes how Abaraham’s wife Sarai was convinced that she was barren even though the Lord had promised a son, and decided to take things [...]
Remembering Through Song
Friday, 17 October, 2008
Personally, I think one great way to help children remember bible verses is to teach them through song. Not to say bible classes and memorizing memory verses are not important. They are definitely very important. But one thing I’ve discovered is that children can remember a song they’ve learnt for many many years. You’d be [...]
True Wealth
Wednesday, 8 October, 2008
“All man’s efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.” – Ecclesiastes 6:7 Tonight I was particularly moved by the Pastor’s bible exposition, in a way that I have not been for a long time. It seemed as if almost every word cut right to the bone. On a day when the [...]
Christmas Rant
Tuesday, 25 December, 2007
I think it’s lamentable that many a times it’s so easy for us to lose track of the true meaning of Christmas. To most of us, Christmas means one or more of the following: – A time to show your loved ones how much they mean to you – A time to make merry – [...]
Our Daily Bread – “Herd Instinct”
Wednesday, 18 April, 2007
(Taken from Our Daily Bread, RBC Ministries, 17th April ’07. Visit www.rbc.org.) Near the village of Gevas in eastern Turkey, while shepherds ate their breakfast, one of their sheep jumped off a 45-foot cliff to its death. Then, as the stunned shepherds looked on, the rest of the flock followed. In all, 1,500 sheep mindlessly [...]
These Are Tough Times…
Saturday, 3 March, 2007
Well, these are tough times for my church. Y’know, you used to read in 1st Corinthians chapter 3 about factions in the church and all that, and you used to think to yourself that this kind of thing only happened in those churches back in those days…but it’s times like these when you realize that such things are so [...]
