IBS

I travelled to Bangkok, Thailand today.

I sympathized with Columbus in Zombieland who suffered from irritable bowel syndrome because I think I have the same problem.

God Given Success

We perform according to how are are measured. A former boss and friend told me this. I think it is important how we view success in life. If we focus on the wrong things, we will be wasting our resources AND not reaching our potentials. We will not be living out the purpose God have for us.

Peace be with you

Peace be With You
Pastor Gao Chuan Long
DUMC Chinese Service

Joh 20:19-23 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." (20) When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. (21) Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." (22) And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (23) If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld."

Christians don’t retire. We retire when our names are called in heaven. Some doubt old people cannot do much because one leg is already in the coffin. Who asked us to put our legs in the coffin? Take it out. Age is just a number.

Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude

Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude
Pastor Dr. Ling

(The Learner's Note: I have seen this quote a few times in my tweet stream. I guess I have a great attitude in my social network, a good attitude at work, an okay one at home and a lousy one in the church. If the 'altitude' is anything to go by.)

Attitude comes from the heart and the inner life. Attitude towards God determines how we are blessed. Starting from 1 Samuel, we read often comparisons to David. Jesus is also identified as from the line of David.
