I remember it very well. I was in Bega which is famous for its milkshakes. So, of course, I ordered and drank a milkshake. 1 hour later, I could feel my stomach grumbling, moaning and distending. That’s when I realised, “Yep, I’ve joined the 90%” You see, 90% of Asians are lactose intolerant. And 75% of African-Americans, Mexican-Americans …
Do you struggle with mentioning the name “Jesus” to your non-Christian friends? Perhaps you wrestle with some of these thoughts: “What will people think?” “How will my non-Christian friends react?” “What would my family members say to me?” I personally struggle with these thoughts every so often.

Or, some project group mates did not tell you that they needed help—until the deadline came. Or maybe you had good friends …
Since young, I’ve had the privilege of having friends with brilliant minds who went on to achieve enviable success in school and at work. Many of them graduated from prestigious schools and are now holding well-paying positions as computer engineers, doctors, lawyers, judges, and financial experts. Some even went on to do their doctorates at …
Loving some people can be hard, especially when they’re unlovable. But that doesn’t mean we can just shrug our shoulders and shrug off our responsibility. It’s been said that we are the only Jesus people see. So we need to be a light to the world—and that only happens by love. These are three lessons …
Imagine you’re in deep trouble. Some people are after you and you need somewhere to hide. Home isn’t an option—they know where you live. Whom will you go to? A dependable friend, probably. Someone you can trust, who is reliable, and who is always on your side. Does it sound familiar? That’s what David was …
In my last pastoral letter, we explored briefly “The Power within Us” (Eph 3:20). What is the nature of this power?
