God Calls Us to Mutual Care, Respect

Brian McLaren so far is the only one from the “emergent”/”emerging church” scene or you will still see him closer to the “evangelical” spectrum that has been consistently highlighting the plight in Gaza. I’m quoting him in full:

I’m sick [...]

Church Groups Deplore Harm to Gaza Civilians

As a father of three children, I’m always asking what’s happening to the children?

Home Ministry bans Herald’s Malay supplement

My comments to Anil clearly stated below marking a disappointing start for the year!

This move by the Home Ministry on the Malay-Language section is disappointing. It’s like denying the National Language’s ownership to Christians especially in the light of many of our brothers and sisters who use it [...]

Sivin Kit's Garden - Stumbling into 2009: Reign in Our Hearts

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:00:02 -0600

Cameron Highlands was a good place to be from 28 December to 31 December. A good 4 days 3 nights away from Kuala Lumpur (and away from the internet more by choice this time and the comforts of the Lutheran Mission Bungalow ). I’ll have more to say once I get back into the groove. For now, the prayer below represents very much what’s on my heart.

Sivin Kit's Garden - Claiming our Reconciliation

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 21:15:02 -0600

How do we work for reconciliation? First and foremost by claiming for ourselves that God through Christ has reconciled us to God. It is not enough to believe this with our heads. We have to [...]

The Wilful Sunflower - Christmas greetings!

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 11:52:02 -0600

Hope everyone had a great Christmas :)

I've been a complete grinch this year, to the point that Erna sent me a text message saying she was worried about me. Yes, I was feeling extremely antisocial.... but I've realised something: that doesn't necessarily mean I don't want to see anyone, it means I only want to see certain people :P

So, while I opted not to join in the church's Christmas carolling this year, and didn't at [...]
