Child’s Play

11 August 2021 blogpastor Leave a comment

This picture caught my attention more than others I took that day. Sometimes I intuitively sense that the photo has more than lines, light and shadows. It is more than just an interesting composition. It is worth going back to it, gaze at it in stillness and silence, and let the Spirit blow as he […]

Sacred Reading or “Lectio Divina”

16 July 2021 blogpastor Leave a comment

The “lectio divina”(Latin) or “sacred reading” is the bread and butter of my time with the Lord. It is the method I use the most. Maybe it is because of its familiarity. Most Christians who are familiar with the Quiet Time would see its resemblance to the four movements of lectio divina. In the past, […]

2 July 2021 blogpastor Leave a comment

Memorising verses was something I did as a spiritual discipline in the early years of my spiritual growth.

Time for reflection: December

9 December 2012 blogpastor 2 Comments

Christmas is the season for reflection. It is December. Its the year’s end. Often it is seen as a time to holiday and wind down. Nothing wrong with that. It is time also to look back on the year. God has been with you every day of the whole year. We forget his inconspicuous presence […]

Meditation: good to embrace

4 October 2010 blogpastor 11 Comments

Interest in meditation increased with a New York Times interview with Lee Kuan Yew, where he opened a small window into his soul: he was an agnostic, but he had learned meditation from a Christian friend whom he admired. With eyes closed and body relaxed, he now repeated in his “innermost heart” a “mantra”. He […]
