Not much to say

By -
I guess it has been quite a taxing time for the past and the next few weeks. So far, let's see what have I left after clearing the test yesterday:

EU1101E - cleared tests and simulation
JS1101E - Project paper 90% done, due 13 April
FNA1002 - Project report 25% done, due 10 April, cleared test and presentation
HY2229 - cleared tests
HY2245 - Project simulation due 17 April, cleared essay and book review

Now, I have the last test of my semester yesterday. I must admit, I didn't really studied for the test (a bit too complacent) and I just read my lecture notes 2 hours before the test. As usual, I can only pray for God's grace and mercy to be upon me. I must say, the test turned out to be rather... interesting. If one were to enter LT11 in the midst of the test, you wouldn't be able to locate where I am, since I was covered in smoke, as a result of the smoke grenades that I keep throwing. But on a more serious note, despite the lack of preparations, I was really quite ready to answer the questions, and I must say, due to time management, I couldn't really have the time to bring across all my points for the questions. But overall, it was okay. Thank God for that. Hallelujah. If not for You, Lord... if not for You.

Okay, I just found out that my project simulation is on the 17 April, which means that I have to sacrifice 4 days of my reading week preparing for that simulation and it just so happens that Friday that week is my first paper which happens to be HY2245. I pray Farrell better know what he is doing. Playing as Cortez, my group really is in for a difficult time, since the charges being brought forward by the prosecution are a bit easy to counter on the whole, and man, I'm blessed with a team which is willing to do research for the project. Anyway, everything feels so effie, so blur. No one exactly know what is going on. But I think my class is much more better than the other which is doing the same thing as upon looking at their forum, I realised that they ae not exactly as professional as my prosecution, but then, what can I say? Each group has its own characteristics.

To end off.

I pray that you will receive Christ Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour into your life. I have faith that you will, one day which is not far away. I have faith that He will reveal Himself to you like how He has revealed Himself to all of us. I have faith that you will come to know His goodness and love for us. All this I pray, in Jesus's name. Amen.

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries.

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship in Christ
