Malaysian Christian Writes

Before I begin, the more personal account of the wedding (stories, experiences, highs and lows) could be found here . Prologue I know and I empathize to what some of you might say. And yes I have heard them. "I want the sort of wedding where there are hundreds of people looking at me in my white gown as I enter the hall in a shy manner" or "I would just love the colour coordination and theme that would be so cool" It would be so nice to have that dream wedding. That one day moment. And I totally get it. So allow me to respond to give context before providing you the guide. God instituted marriage and being married is a good thing (not the ultimatum). But in light of that, it is God that ultimately dictates how one gets married not the ideals of human traditions. Again not saying that those traditions are wrong. And if you are willing to wait to have that experience by all means. But marriage is a good design by God and when you have the biblical benchmarks ready one

Journey of a persistent widow (Online Wedding) I figured that after all that has happened, I would need to document this down. My hopes for you readers is as you read this, you would be able to see the hand of God moving in this and that your response would be "Wow God, you truly are great" All glory to Him. If you are interested in how my in laws accepted me, the post is here . It is a very humbling experience. The photo itself reveals a snapshot of generally how getting married in 2020 has been. Before I share with you my story let me say that there has been polarizing views on our wedding. The first half are the ones who are in full support and are excited that we are getting married online. The second half think we are rushing things and being selfish in some sense. I will briefly respond to the second half first. First we are not rushing things, we are just getting things on schedule. No one ever told me that a marriage needs to have a great dinner with all the bells and

One word. It is a privilege to do what I do here with Malaysian Christian Memes. I acknowledged that God who enables me is in total control of this. Here is me sharing the vision because this vision is held not just by one person. What do I mean by that and how is Malaysian Christian Memes (MCM) going to move forward? I will break it down into three phases: 1. What did it initially start off as? 2. How did it evolve? 3. Where will it move towards (The part where is most fun)?   What did it initially start off as? First off, it didn’t occur to me the notion of God using memes for ministry. Meme creation or His glory. When I started this out, all I had in mind was I need to reach out to the younger generation and spark in them a love for Christ, why not through memes? Started in December 2019, now in June 2020 it has 500 plus followers.  “Hey buddy, that is not much, and you had 6 months to grow!” True. But if that was your thoughts, it is you who is sorely mistak

The Spiritual MCO (Jesus and the church) Before anything, if anyone is interested to read a short article on what God is actually asking us to see in 2020, click here .   So, my fiancée and I, we video call often when we cannot meet each other for long periods of time. Why do we call? Because of that darn Movement Control Order. Because of that, we miss each other’s presence. Smelling her scent, holding her hand. The goodbye hugs. But now, I get to see her through a glass, hear her voice, and update each other on what matters. While video calls have stripped us down to focus on the important bits and not take each other for granted, it still does not beat the tangible physical presence of each other. And every time we video call each other we will always talk about the hope and the joy when we finally meet and get married (which is soon by God’s grace) and we end in prayer entrusting that God knows best and has the best timing. Upon reflection and talking this out
