God is like the wind...

Reading Paul Arden's "God Explained In A Taxi Ride" (2007, Penguin Books) is like reading the "Laughter" page off the Reader's Digest --- always a pleasure to read and at times tinted with a bitter after-taste.

Take this example in one of Paul's topics, "The Answer Is Blowing In the Wind":

A young child asked his father if he could prove there is no God.
'I can't prove it,' he said.
'It's like the wind. You can feel it, but you can't see it.'

How abstract, yet such simple truth! Now this is what I call faith! As Paul puts it, "are you brave enough not to believe in God", if you can't prove that He doesn't exist?

Light Up This Christmas With Hope

Yesterday, we had the privilege of watching the performance of Chinese oldie songs and self-penned Chinese worship songs by Pastor Henry Chong (张汉林牧师) & Raymond Lei Sheng Xiong (雷圣雄) at the Mandarin service, FCBC.

Pastor Chong has been a gospel singer for over 20 years and have travelled the world in bringing hope to the lost with his songs and preaching. Before this, he was the winner of the Chinese Talentime on national TV many years ago! Pastor Chan Hon Shek likened Pastor Chong to the equivalent of Cliff Richard of the east. I thank God for Pastor Chong's dedication to reach out to the lost through his voice and songs.
