Malaysian Christian Writes

1. The context Before anything, do follow  @malaysianchristianmemes  on  insta . Click here to find out what will be the best gift for my wife. I have no intention to be clickity-baity but it just happens. Now before I do expound on what I am going to say I need to define family just in case you are thinking which family rejected him?. Family does include immediate and community and yes I love my family so much. To say one accepted me is not to say the other didn't. Nonetheless, I am alluding to a key point within a family culture of success that varies from one to another.  Before I begin, I want to humbly point out that we are a broken broken society. The world is a broken society. Where their god is their belly. Their desires are what they want and what the world offers. And their achievements go as far as only what the eyes see. So bear with me readers as I carefully express the culture. However, I will mainly focus on two events and both with...

Before anything, do follow  @malaysianchristianmemes  on  insta . I am in my fourth year teaching what some may call a niche subject, a useless subject, waste of time, least important subject. But... I have been teaching it for three years and I am still here. What retains me? And what have I learnt from all of this? Before you continue reading, please do not take anything to heart, I am laying these insights as it is and of course it is a learning process. But all would make sense if you wait to the end or else just  skip to the end. 13  Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do:  forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,   14  I press on toward the goal for  the prize of the upward  call of God in Christ Jesus.   15  Let those of us who are  mature think this way, and if in anything  you think otherwise,  God will reveal that also to you. 16...

There is no Joshua generation Before anything, do follow  @malaysianchristianmemes  on  insta . Martin Luther the one synonymous to the word Reformation said that the church was “ a high, deep, hidden thing” Simply meant that it was a mystery too deep to fully comprehend. Many call it the invisible church. The church that is united by the Holy Spirit coming under the rule of Jesus Christ our King where there is now no Jew nor gentile, slave nor master, male nor female. We are all one in Christ. Yet the invisible church is only truly seen in the visible church. You know, the usual every Sunday or Saturday where we come together sing praise together and listen to God’s word. I am oversimplifying it but that is not the main point of what I am writing today. If anything, the church or as the Greek text would have it ekklesia simply means a gathering of God’s people. Yet such a unity doesn’t seem to be apparent these days. Granted I am but one person. I am limited in ...

2017 truly has been something. It is the year of the unfathomable(s) where you'd just never thought this would happen. But to give you an idea, let's just say it was a roller coaster ride that doesn't stop but immediately transitions to the ext roller coaster to 2018. As the ride comes to a slow, it is also moving back up for the next dip. But this is not about 2018. It is about 2017. We shall go through the unfathomable(s) chronologically-ish through key moments.  Both good and bad. 1. The start of M.O.T.H The program that I was preparing in the past 7 months in 2016 had finally been brought to fruition. Matters of the Heart or MOTH was going to be tested out among the MCKL students on discovering identity. Obviously up till now the module is constantly being revamped to fit the student's needs and growth. But the idea here is never would I have thought of creating a program from scratch let alone run it. Truly humbling because I came to realize how much work...

What does it mean to be in the in between? Macam yes tapi bukan? Malcom in the middle? What what? I need to be clear.  But then again that is how I actually find myself most of the time. Unclear. Truth is I have been the guy that never had to plan till now. Even now I am being unclear. God truly has been gracious to me. Constantly making mistakes but sending the right people at the right time to just guide me.  Sure I am growing. But to grow I need to realize where I am falling short first.  Some person might ask "How did you get so far in such a short time? How did you do all this?" or "Please lah you? Pffft". It is the...In Betweeeeeen * Whispers * The answer is ultimately of course God's providence. But basically let me break it down to you in 3 areas. What do I mean when I say 'IN BETWEEN', What is the truth of the matter, and what do I need to do. What do I mean when I say 'IN BETWEEN' I feel right now I get ...

Never would I have thought... Such a phrase is usually accompanied with awe, shock, and surprise. Such a phrase has been used in my life one too many times. Then again, let me start off with this statement. If you serve God where Oxford dictionary would define for monotheistic religions as " the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being."...  then what is impossible? God transcends every dimension and is all present, all knowing and all powerful. I know the world I am living in. At least based on my perception. It is a world where the point of reference begins with the self. What is truth, what is my origins, what is morality, all begins with the self. You need not move on any further than if this if you take another position. We are living in a triggered world. But this story is shared with great hopes that it encourages you. But again I reiterate, There are three connecting conditions that I would like to lay before you ...

1 Peter 3:14-16 " 14  But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed.   Have no fear of them ,  nor be troubled,   15  but  in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy ,  always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and  respect ,   16  having a good conscience , so that,  when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame ." You may have read this before many times. To some who knows this might be something new. For those who have seen it... Feel free to just roll your eyes like the picture below. Seen this, read it, known it....pfffft So let us let scripture speak for itself. It starts off with that if you should suffer for righteousness you will be blessed. Let's pause there. Fact check me, but in Hebrew one of the many translations of blessed is Ashrei which means ha...
