The Parable of the Wedding Feast reminds me that God’s invitation to enter His Kingdom is freely offered to everyone, but it also calls for a response. The king prepares a magnificent wedding feast for his son, symbolizing God’s desire to share His joy and salvation with us. Yet, surprisingly, those who were originally invited … Continue reading Have I changed?
Five loaves and two fishes
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the disciples are witness to Jesus’ miracle of multiplying the five loafs and two fishes to feed a crowd of more than five thousand people. They were asking Jesus to dismiss the crowd by evening time so that they could go settle their own meals, but Jesus challenged them to “give … Continue reading Five loaves and two fishes
Music Production Update
After a year of mucking around with my very lo-fi setup. My wife and I decided to switch working spaces in the house and I managed to get a proper room for my music gear.

Obey
I usually pick up a Bible verse at the Landings retreats I attend. Here's the latest message..
Peace be with you
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the disciples are huddled behind locked doors — not just physically, but spiritually. Fear has sealed them shut.

This was John’s mission: to be the steadfast voice crying out in the wilderness and a guiding finger pointing directly to … Continue reading Our faith story
Who’s your King?
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the people stayed there before the cross, watching Jesus as he hung on the cross. Above him was an inscription: ‘This is the King of the Jews’. Whenever the end of November rolls around and we reach the solemnity of Christ the King, I am also reminded of my wedding vows … Continue reading Who’s your King?
Who’s at your gate?
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. First and foremost, it is a story about being empathetic to our neighbour in need. If we have the means to help the people who are placed in front of us, not doing so has eternal consequences. I remember this … Continue reading Who’s at your gate?
Enough is enough
This Sunday’s Gospel recounts Jesus telling the parable of the rich man who built bigger barns to store up his riches so he can relax but God demands his soul that very night. This reading will probably hit home for a lot of us. Isn’t the whole point of getting good grades at PSLE, to … Continue reading Enough is enough
