Listen to Dean Furness here: https://youtu.be/IOrmS8vJDQw 听听这个人（Dean Furness）的经历 https://youtu.be/IOrmS8vJDQw Whakarongo ki te wheako a tenei tangata (Dean Furness’s) https://youtu.be/IOrmS8vJDQw Dean Furness’s True Life Story Life is full of uncertainties. While we are rejoicing in our glories, we need to prepare our minds for unfortunate accidents, like the one that happened to Dean Furness that December day in the year 2011. When the world collapsed on him, he found that he had to relive a new life, a new ‘me’ as he puts it. 生活充满不确定性。当我们为荣耀而高兴时，我们需要为不幸的事故做好准备，例如2011年12月那一天发生在迪恩·弗内斯（Dean Furness）身上的那场事故。当世界崩溃于他时，他发现他不得不重新生活，就像他所说的那样，是一个新的“我”。 Transcriber: Joseph Geni Reviewer: Joanna Pietrulewicz It seems we have been measured almost all of our […]

Have we heard of a person named Poh Fang Chia? This is how https://ourdailybread.ca/author/pohfangchia/ describes her: Poh Fang Chia never dreamed of being in a language-related profession; chemistry was her first love. The turning point came when she received Jesus as her Saviour as a 15-year-old and expressed to Jesus that she would like to create books that touch lives. She serves with Our Daily Bread Ministries at the Singapore office as an editor and is also a member of the Chinese editorial review committee. Poh Fang says: “I really enjoy exploring the Scripture and finding passages that bring a […]

Blessed Assurance 有福的確據

This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour, all day long. https://youtu.be/rDeiy9-t2GE Let us allow our thoughts to drift back to those days before we commit to Christ. Back in my secondary school days, two of my classmates had repeatedly told me about the Christian faith and how happy they were because of their faith and how easy examinations appeared to be for them. I thought they were insane and kept my distance from them. When I finished my Cambridge ‘O’ level, I worked as a Primary School teacher and went to the Teachers Training College. Again, […]

Give Thanks to Him 给祂来个感恩

Praise be to God. Kia whakapaingia te Atua. 赞美归于上帝。 การสรรเสริญเป็นของพระเจ้า. Segala puji bagi Allah. Amazing Grace (Chinese Version) 奇翼恩典 https://youtu.be/b5Iw0njiKdI Amazing grace! How sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like me!I once was lost, but now am found;Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears relieved;How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils, and snares,I have already come;’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me,His Word my hope secures;He will my Shield and […]

Put GOD First 将上帝放在第一位

We are not afraid of the arrows flying in the day, the plague of the night, or the poison of extinction aimed at getting rid of us. We saw thousands of people falling beside us, tens of thousands falling to the right and to the left of us, but we are not afraid. We know that this is God’s overall plan for mankind. We know that the Lord is our refuge and that we are dwelling in His place. Yes, Coronavirus, COVID 19, is here. It reached New Zealand soil so suddenly in February 2020. It caught New Zealand by […]

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ 耶稣基督的复活

April 10, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

(Chinese) 耶稣基督的复活 (Pinyin) Yēsū jīdū de fùhuó (Maori) TE TOHUANGA O IESU KRISTO Let us transport ourselves back to the days just before the time when Jesus Christ was crucified. (Chinese) 让我们回到耶稣基督被钉十字架之前的日子。(Pinyin) Ràng wǒmen huí dào yēsū jīdū bèi dīng shízìjià zhīqián de rìzi. (Maori) Kia hoki tatou ka hoki ano ki nga ra i mua tonu o te wa i ripekatia a Ihu Karaiti. Those were dark days for all who believed in Jesus Christ. His Heavenly Father had abandoned Him. He has been silenced by earthly authorities. His title of “The Messiah” appeared to be just another false […]

Job - A Modern version of the Story: 约白的现代的故事

February 2, 2020 FLAI40 Leave a comment

Mr. Job Li is not his real name. But this story is based on the true story of the life of a faithful Christian person who lives in Singapore. 李承谋不是他的真名。但是，这个故事是根据一个生活在新加坡的虔诚基督徒的真实故事改编的。NOTE: A full version of this story in Chinese will be posted later. Since time immemorial, our Almighty God had set up a team of four of His angels charged with the sole responsibility of developing and strengthening the Christian faith of His people. This responsibility also included the testing of a Christian’s faith in God. This story is therefore about the testing of the faith of this person, Job […]

For God so loved the World …

December 13, 2019 FLAI40 Leave a comment

Have we to be Christians before we understand the love of God? Certainly not. But, for those who are Christians, the sources of the quotations here are familiar ones. I am addressing this article to all readers, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs alike and for some of these readers, any biblical reference can turn their interests off. Therefore, all references to the Bible remain unsaid. Yes, it is the month of December again and the Christmas lights are on. The lights are particularly noticed in Singapore where Christmas street lights are colorfully displayed along Orchard Road and many localized […]

Let us start this topic with a prayer. 让我们以祈祷开始这个话题。 Tatou ka tiimata tenei kaupapa ma te inoi. Heavenly Father, we give thanks to You for taking care of us and of our needs. We give thanks to you Lord for the many blessings that You have showered upon us. We give thanks to You for all the opportunities that You have open up for us. But, Lord, more than ever, we give thanks to You for all the hardships and sufferings we have been through along the ways in which You teach us and You mold us into the golden […]

Quest is Fun!

I have seven grandchildren, two of whom are young adults, four of whom are teenagers and one just a two-year-old toddler. I want to introduce to them and to all those within their age groups - young adults up to 25 years old, teenagers up to the age of 19 and toddlers up to the age of say four - the young Kiwi Whiz Kid, Tristan Pang, who has reportedly obtained his PhD in Mathematics and Physics, from Auckland University. That report, from one of mainland China’s Bejing TV stations, broadcasted live this morning (4.30am NZ time Saturday 9th August […]
