by Jenni Ho-Huan The longing Growing up in faith, I have always felt something was missing. Today, I know what I longed for was fellowship. Not that I did not belong to several ‘fellowships’; I did. I was president of the Christian fellowship in school (IVCF). We had youth fellowship in church. Later, there would […]
Decision making is far more than listing down the Pros and Cons. It involves more than thinking through the options and seeking godly counsel. It is more far reaching than being able to meet a dateline and therefore moving on to the next thing. As a leader, decision making is a discipline, a process, and […]
What do you reply when someone asks, “How is church?”. I recently asked this of two persons from the same church. “It’s…okay..”, came the response. It isn’t an easy question to answer is it?

I am reaching my personal jubilee and have started thinking about things which I never did; such as retirement.

Do we have any idea how easy it is to lose our way – in the thick of serving God no less. This post is being prompted by a few things: 1. my son is fascinated with all things army-like: the brotherhood, the tough stuff, the strain and the glory. It’s a guy’s dirty, glorious […]
The 5-fold office, as they are described by some in Ephesians 4 offers us an important insight into Christian maturity. That is after all, the context in which they are mentioned: To prepare God’s people for works of service So that The boy of Christ may be built up Until we reach unity in the […]
