I threw myself on my bed. My face was wet, tear tracks clearly seen. I couldn't stop crying. Every thought of mine stabbed me deeper, causing my tear to flow like a broken damp. I'm afraid that I will go There, where he will not belong. Out of love, I cried! I prayed so hard, pleading LORD to answer my questions:" Where were You when I needed You to defend me?! Where were You?! Have You forsaken me? Have You forgot what You promised?!" Doubts struck me hard enough, hard enough to crush my tiny faith, frayed into pieces. "Yea! Maybe he is right about You! You are just some lies told by some idiots! The so-called You Words is just a stupid book written by some nothing-to-do people. Why did I trust in You in the beginning? Shouldn't even have known You in the first place. Who am I praying to? To You or to something imaginative and doesn't even exist?! Talk to me! TELL ME!" "Who am I to You?! Your child You said. But will a Father not defend His chi...

Tonight, I watched a movie on TV2, it was about how a group of unlucky firemen risked their life in order to save victims from road accidents, suicides, and of course, fire. Towards the end of the story, the group of firemen (a firewoman) was trapped in a seriously burning factory. The fire was burning enormously fierce and the vision was poor. The fire reigned over the factory mercilessly, burning the place with heat, exhausting them. There was a scene where a fire hose with its water still turned on left spraying alone, unable to fight against the exploding fire and burned into ash. Two women were reported trapped in the factory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagine yourself as the two women trapped in fire, helplessly, waiting for death, waiting to be devoured by fire. That describes Hell , in fact, Hell is far worse. If you are thrown into Hell by God , surely, there is only one option, eternal death . No other option. You will be spiritual...

Today, I walked around the corridor in front of my grandma's house. I was waiting for someone to call, or maybe, message me. I was troubled, not as troubled as the one I'm waiting for. My grandma's house is on the fifth floor, I can get a pretty clear view there. Someone was playing a kite, probably 300 meter or more away from my grandma's house. I thought the one playing the kite was kinda stupid playing in place surrounded by trees. I could see the kite floating up and down, powerless, helpless. In a narrow place like that, surrounded by tree, it's kinda hard for the kite to actually fly high. In the end, the kite got stuck on some branches, never came down again. In our life, sometimes we can find ourselves depart from a narrow place just like the kite. Peer pressure, financial, relationships, and etc. And when we depart from that point, we might face a lot of problems or obstacles, slowing us down, helplessly, powerlessly. Then when we started to find ourselves ...

God 's patience and perseverance had paid Him reward. Year 2008, my Form 5 year was the year I found Him and recognized Him . He sent me wonderful people to bring me nearer to Him . And it was all miracle how things happened. Abigail was the one He sent. And that was how my wonderful journey with Him started. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a miracle how I met Abigail . Somehow, you wouldn't expect to pick up a random friend and then develop into a strong friendship. I'll tell the story of Abigail and I much deeper because it was her who God sent and let me recognize Him . I still couldn't believe. It all started from a forwarded e-mail from Woo Xian Lum, a librarian. It was a mail about......well I call it spam. I opened and read it. I didn't give a damn about that mail anyway. When I was about to hit the [Back to Inbox] button, the word " Abigail " caught my sight. I don...

I moved up to Form 3. Chapel period was getting bigger for me. From Wesley Tower's Multipurpose Hall, we moved to the church. The place got bigger and better, so was the preaching work. But I never listen. I was arrogant. Thought that I can handle anything. Only weak asses need Him , I thought. I used to sleep, I used to joke, I used to talk whenever a speaker or a preacher is speaking. I changed praises for God into vile, ugly words. I always turned Him down. He is great, surely He is. His grace, His mercy on me, is limitless. In spite of all the things that I had done to Him , He blessed me instead of punishing me. He blessed me with friends that I ever needed. In that very year I started Locasha , my first online chit-chat forum with 110 members in it. I became a webmaster that very year, not to say successful, but it was that online forum that God sent me friends and tied us up together. He blessed me with result of flying colours. I scored 8A's in my PMR that ver...

2 and 3 May 2008, Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar. 12 May 2008, Sichuan Magnitude 8 earthquake. Disaster! Death! Cries! Homeless! I questioned God, why?! What is Your plan? Aren't they clear enough? [Luke 21:11There will be great earthquakes , famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.] Still not clear enough? [Matthew 24:7 ......There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.] Clear enough? Yes, these signs are happening, He is coming! The Saviour is coming! Jesus is coming! Do you believe me? Do not believe me, believe what the Scripture says. Scripture says when all these occurs, these are signs indicating Jesus is coming! WHAO, you heard it? He is coming! Hey wait, first of all, are you ready for His Second Coming? Matthew 24:4-11 says "Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name , claiming , ' I am the Christ , ' and will deceive many . You will hear of wars and ...

A young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his questions. Finally, his parents were able to find a scholar. Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions? Scholar: I am one of willing, I will be able to answer your questions. Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions . Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of God Young Man: I have 3 questions 1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape. 2. What is fate? 3. If Devil was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Devil and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far? Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard. Young Man(feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me? Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your th...

Before I am a Christian, I used to say:" There's no God! Believe me......Who give a damn about it?!" I did not believe, because I believed "seeing is believing". When we say "believe", we are really committed to something. It is that you are totally convinced of something due to some EXPERIENCE . I included the word " EXPERIENCE " in the definition because it is through EXPERIENCE , you are convinced of something. Even if I put something so real in front of you and say:" Believe me, it will blow ." For so sure you will tell me:" I don't believe that, it is just a piece of metal! " But if that cold, hard metal really explodes, hits your face and blows you off, you will shout out:" Holy cow! I believe now! " The same thing applies here in Christianity. I can't just tell you:" Believe in Jesus, He will do good for you! ", it is like I'm telling you to believe that the seemed-to-be-nothing piec...
