Passion of the Church

Passion of the Church

Pretty much throughout the early Naughts, I sojourned from one to the next church. Like a journeyman, I stayed for a short time in one before I made tracks and moved on to the next. It was only in 2008 that I finally settled on a church once and for all. As some of you may know, that church finally closed its doors some seven years later.

Understanding Eschatology and the Different Doctrinal Models (Study Notes)

Understanding Eschatology and the Different Doctrinal Models

Agape Faith Care Group, Kledang Community Chapel  |  March 2018

These are study notes that were prepared for use by our Care Group at the church I am attending now. They deal specifically with the myriad models that concern Eschatology. Seeing that these models can be very confusing to many, I thought it would be useful for summarise them in a more orderly manner so that it is easier to see what their distinctions are, where their supporters find 'support' in the Bible and also where Scripture challenges their validity as well. 

There is nowhere in the Bible that asserts the superiority and unquestioned authority of one model over the rest. We just don't know what the Lord has in store although we can use Scripture to find some form of assurance or certainty but always be careful that ultimately, God has not said anything about the time when everything will come to an end, let alone which of these many models actually work. And so in the end, we must practise the courtesy of 'Agree to Disagree' about fellow Christians and treat it as a spiritually healthy exercise and not much more than that. In a nutshell, the biggest question when it comes to the End Times - as unpredictable as it is - is whether or not we are all prepared for it because we just don't know when it will come.

Feel free to make these notes available for your church or your care/cell group but kindly provide attribution. Thanks.

The Circle – Movie Review

This article was originally written as a point of discussion concerning online social media for my private English Communication class. Just as it was important for the youth to understand the critical dangers involved, I decided to reproduce it here for my readers. If you're wondering about the slightly different format here, that's because it was meant for students. 

In a separate article, which I will publish here within the next two days, I will provide the Discussion Points where I present twelve topical questions. Feel free to use them for your own purposes. When you do use them, I presume you understand about acknowledging the original writer of these articles.

Empowerment through Testimony

Testimonies are far more than just convincing unbelievers

Most of us consider that testimonies are a great way to bring unbelievers to Christ and that is true. But if that’s all there is to testimonies, we’re selling them short because we would be underestimating its power to pin the devil to the wall. Testimonies, as we may not realise, are a hidden potent tool and weapon against evil and sooner we know this, the better equipped we are!

Book of Revelation (Part Eighteen/Final)

Eighteenth and Final Part of the New Testament Survey Series

Even for non-Christians, the Book of Revelation is long since been preceded by its very own eschatological reputation. Not only that, this Book can be so cryptic that many Christians consider it an extremely difficult book to read let alone understand and in many cases, it is often the last book they would pick up and try to decipher.

There is no doubt that the reputation of the Book of Revelation is broadly based on the detailed compendium of barely unbelievable visions of the Last Days prior to Christ’s Second Coming as well as the heralding of the New Heaven and New Earth. For the modern man, these visions are nigh impossible to comprehend let alone accept because the imageries are very hard to humanly relate to.

If It's Your Last Chance, Will You Reconcile with God?

Movie Review – The Remaining

It never came to Malaysia and it probably won’t. It would be surprising if it even make it to the DVD shops. To watch ‘The Remaining,’ you’d have a better chance watching it on the Internet. Still for all the controversy of mixing Hollywood horror genre with Christian faith values, it was worth the trouble.
