Obedience

As a parent, I expect my children to obey me - to study hard, to practise the piano, not to be on computer all the time, to be in God's house. Yet, more often than not, they do only 50% of all that I tell them (or maybe even less than 50%), and that frustrates...

What is God’s will for me?

This was always the question in my mind, especially when I come to crossroads in my life, like choosing a career, a life partner, and other big decisions in life. But this question is always so "me"-centric, and I always don't seem to be able to find the answer for this. Yet the will of...

Godliness?

Merriam-Webstar defines "godliness" as the quality or state of being spiritually pure or virtuous. And with this definition implies that the person who is considered godly is perfectly sinless. Well, at least that's the impression I had. Until I learnt from Ps 32:6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a...

What do people think of me?

I have probably shared about this before, about how I grew up conscious of how people look at me - from family, to relatives, to friends.

Spiritual Retreat #7 – Looking for Depth

Knowledge is important, but when knowledge is applied with insight and good judgement, that is wisdom. But there are also different levels of wisdom! Are you contented just to have knowledge? What about wisdom? What if deep wisdom is offered to us too? Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom...

Spiritual Retreat #6 – Knowledge and Wisdom

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM was something that I had desired to have since my younger days. As a student, I studied to gain knowledge. As a doctor, I studied to gain more knowledge. But knowledge is not the same as wisdom. From Merriam-Webster dictionary, Knowledge = the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained...

Spiritual Retreat #4

SAYING THE RIGHT WORDS We are often so conscious about what we say to others. Did I say the right thing? Did I just offend a friend? Could I have said something better? Yet we are not conscious of what we say to the Lord.... When God told Solomon, "Ask! What shall I give you?"....
