The document discusses a story from the Bible where a prostitute anoints Jesus with oil and washes his feet with her tears. It notes that Jesus forgave the woman even before saying it aloud. It then discusses how forgiveness means seeing others and being compassionate towards those who have been hurt or objectified. The document contrasts the Pharisees, who were forgiven little and loved little, with Jesus, who welcomed the prostitute and calls the church to help and bring light to the world's poor and suffering.

In the Gospel of John, we are told that Andrew met Jesus, with that burning zeal went and found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, but you shall be called Cephas". What did Jesus saw in Peter? What does Jesus sees in you today? How does one keep the flame alive? In what ways do I share or give testimony of the love of Jesus to others? As leaders, we are to seek Him, receive Him, know Him, love Him, serve Him and be like Him, you know….. it’s all about Jesus.

Slides for a TEDx talk delivered at University of Malaya on March, 23rd (2019).
It is a common but not unrealistic stereotype of Asian students that educational success is a matter of personal identity and status. As such, achieving distinctions in as many subjects as possible (the popular target of becoming a ‘straight A’ student) is usually a non-negotiable objective nurtured by both parents and educators. Such an obsessive pursuit of academic excellence produces both laudable outcomes (e.g. the tendency of Asian students to outperform their counterparts) as well as dangerous ones (e.g. worrying rates of mental health problems). This paper hopes to apply the concept of anti-fragility developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb─in particular one of its methods known as the Barbell Strategy─towards student learning, in the hope of a) maintaining a trajectory of academic excellence whilst b) avoiding the psychological pressures which usually accompany Asian students.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
