Reasons not to blog
In the past year I have been nibbling on the idea of a blog funeral for blogpastor.net. One reason was my burnout. My blog entries went downhill and I wrote less often. My heart was not there and inspiration waned. Another was the temptation to follow the crowd. Many blogs have in [...]

To blog or not to blog
the New Covenant Church: by grace through faith
New media networking
An exciting weekend gave me further encouragement to blog. The invitation to preach at the New Covenant Church came through the new media. Peter Sze had been reading blogpastor.net for two years and we became friends on Facebook. He announced one day that he was starting a new church and I politely mentioned [...]
Old blogpastor files edited and re-published
I have begun to upload old blogpastor posts. Some I do for sentimental reasons, like the one in memory of my mum, which was an edited version of my online eulogy of her when she slipped into glory last year.

Most importantly I preached and taught hundreds of times.

These were mainly my devotional jottings, prayers, feelings, and sermon ideas. However in recent years, I have experienced an unrelenting [...]
The new blogpastor.net
While I was taking a break from blogging, my blogpastor.net website was hacked. By whom and for what reason, I do not know . Attempts were made to remove the fraudulent sites, but when that failed, the webmaster had to shut the site down.
Thank God the old files were not lost. This meant that about [...]
