BLC Children Christmas offering 2008 – Away in a Manger from Sivin Kit on Vimeo.
For me, this has been a simple and yet meaningful Christmas. And there are many reasons to say that. The church decorations were just right not too much compared to the glamorous displays in the malls,
The worship liturgy was not flowery but with childlike trust. The “offerings” (presentations) by the children, the carolers, and a duet were not professionally perfect but sincere.
As I shared the message based on John 1:1-14, our new “friends” whom we …

The old song says that “love is a many- splendoured thing”, but reality tells us that “love” can be bittersweet.
For its 2008/2009 season, Footstool Players is proud to present Crazy Little Thing Called Love: poignant portraits of the ties that bind – and sometimes knot – in a collection of sketches pertaining to the themes of love, courtship, marriage and family relationships.
The play features a mix of comedy and drama, but all thought-provoking in some way in highlighting issues pertaining to relationships. There’s innocence, idealism, joy, humour, reassurance, hope, regret, …
During times like this, we are tempted to use many words to present our feelings, arguments and suggestions. There was much already said and repeated with much vigor and clarity which does not need repeating. Media Rakyat’s post Forum: Abolish ISA has three clips.
For me, one moment stood our during the Abolish ISA Forum last night. I struggled to hold back my tears when everyone in the all gave a standing ovation when Raja Petra’s wife Marina Lee stepped on to the stage.
Standing Ovation for RPK and …

“The church’s ministry to children is broken…It’s broken when church leaders and senior pastors see children’s ministry primarily as a marketing tool…Something is broken when we trivialize God to our children…It’s broken when we depend on our programs and our curriculum to introduce our children to God—not our families and communities…And perhaps most importantly, it’s broken when the church tells parents that its programs can spiritually nurture their children better than they can.”
