The Kingdom of God, our Final Destination

What is the kingdom and how do you define it? According to various people, ‘kingdom’ can mean several things. To some, the definition of the kingdom is a palace or a castle, where rulers live with a high level of protection..

  • Little Things Everywhere

    For the past six years, I’ve had a tradition on New Year’s Eve. I sit down at my computer desk, and type a list of my achievements over the course of the year. Every significant one. I filled one sheet of paper, some with handwritten scribbles on the ledges for achievements I forgot to type.

  • Global Government 

    Globalism, one-worldism, post-nationalism, no borders, global-citizen... All these identifiers and slogans stem from the movement and plan to abolish the sovereignty of the nation-state.

  • Walking in your Relationship with Jesus

    Over this summer period, I have been away on holiday. It has been a great time getting refreshed and renewed as I embark on a big year of ministry in 2019. The other day, I had some reflecting time.

  • Russian doll

    Reflecting on years gone by, I often imagine each season as a different version of myself characterised by life events, accomplishments and lessons, and a Taylor Swift song. My life then hangs, a string of polaroid snapshots of what seems to be a different girl.

  • (New Year’s) Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards

    I know it’s the New Year and everybody probably spent a good hour or so drafting up their new year’s resolution. I have a few things on my list for sure, and embarrassingly some of them had been on my list for a couple of years now with zero progress thus far.

  • New mindset for 2019

    A famous speaker once quoted, “No matter what struggles, circumstances or experience you’ve had, it’s how you interpret it that will shape your world.” I believe there is truth to this statement. What we believe, we live out, and it would eventually shape our future.

  • A duty of care

    Our fragmented world desperately cries out for mercy - while we feebly attempt to shelter our minds from acknowledging the brokenness, remaining ignorant to others suffering in conflict-stricken nations or those who are trapped in cycles of poverty.

  • A conversation with my old friends

    Before moving to New Zealand last year, my days would consist of going to school, hanging out with friends outside of school, and other small things here and there. This group of friends I had were gathered over my middle school and beginning of high school days.

  • We all need a Logan

    A few days ago, a grandfather like figure in my life passed away. I first met Logan four years ago when I began pastoring at my current church. One Sunday after our morning service, he invited me to his 90th birthday party.

  • Reflections on Christmas 

    Christmas can come and go so quickly, often we hear the same Christmas story at church as we do every year. The Christmas story is a very powerful and significant event in the life of Christians but it can become mundane too. 

  • The Konversations, Klashes and Kristianity

    So apparently, now it could be a rude thing to ask an Asian person, “Where are you from?”. Given that that person could have been born in the country the questioner is from, trying to figure out where exactly the Asian person’s family originally came from could be seen as an act of ‘proving’ that he or she is ‘not of us’.
