And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Ministry at Evangel Reformed Seminary and Evangel B-P Church at PJ
(17-23 Sep 2018)
As I would be away for an entire week, I spent some time on Sunday evening with my mother and others in the extended family.
I flew with AirAsia on the 7.35 am flight to KL on Monday morning (17/9). It was a pleasant ride from KLIA to the Seminary in PJ. Thank God that former deacon, Johnny Teoh, (who had served in Brunei B-P Church for ten years) called me a day earlier to say that he would meet me at KLIA. He drove the one-hour journey to the Seminary, and took the route which avoided the daily jam in KL. Thank God also that Rev Dr Lim Yew Cheng was able to take the morning devotion, and part of the introduction to the book of Deuteronomy before I stepped into the classroom.

FAITHFUL MAN
“Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?” (Proverbs 20:6)
There is a stark contrast here between ‘most men’ and ‘a faithful man’. The first half of the proverb states that most men proclaim their own goodness. Please note that it does not say that most men are good. It says that whenever most men are given the opportunity to talk, they will talk about their own goodness. It’s all talk but no action. In contrast to that, the latter half of this proverb is not about a person who talks about his own faithfulness. It is about someone who in actual fact is faithful in doing good. A person like that is very hard to find. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVI : 37”
James 1 : 12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Ephesians 4 : 26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
What causes us to have an unforgiving spirit – a lot has to do with anger. We have also seen how pride could be a wrongful cause of our frustrations. But there’s another possible reason that is more subtle – and perhaps more deadly. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVI : 36”
Luke 6 : 47
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Joshua 1 : 9
… Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Facing Daily Temptations
As Christians, we face many temptations every day. Temptations draw us away from God, and lead us into doing things which are contrary to what is taught in His Word, the Bible. The more we yield to temptation, the more we feel guilty, and soon we avoid reading God’s Word or want to listen to it. Attending church worship becomes a duty; in fact, to some it has become a burden or a dreadful thing. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVI : 35”
Ephesians 4 : 1-3
…beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
