Things that happened in the past day

ByVanessa Tan

The Catholic Church, and the rest of the world, lost a great leader today. I think the Pope did the best he could in a world of turmoil, as a faithful servant of Christ. Now we have to wait and see who the new Pope will be.
My Vicar announced he is stepping down from our church. Came as a slight surprise to me. We too are waiting to see who the new Vicar will be.
And I’ve officially left my Bible Study group. I think I’ll take a break from any sort of bible study gatherings for a while. Anyway I’m busy three days a week with Alpha. I had great memories of my first Alpha and I hope this time will be as good – no judgments made, everybody welcome, no pressure, we’ll try our best to answer your questions but ultimately, it’s entirely up to you.

Baptism is the outward sign by which I show my commitment to Christ. However it is what’s inside that is more important – not how many ceremonies you’ve gone through. My journey so far…

  • Prelude to The Passion

    ByVanessa Tan

    My church group and I are finally watching The Passion this Thursday. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so enthusiastic watching a show full of gore and violence. It isn’t for the faint-hearted; already two people have died (a woman and a minister) of a heart attack from watching it. Interestingly, watching The Passion has…

  • Matchmaker

    ByVanessa Tan

    God has a sense of humour. And matchmaking skills, to boot. A few months ago, a new church mate joined my Bible Studies group. We hadn’t met her before, but a few of us had seen her singing in the choir. She was either referred, or felt drawn to, our group, perhaps because we were…

  • Work as an Idol

    ‘Started playing around with eBible again as I’ve got some Christianity Explored homework to do. They have some useful resources. As I can’t link directly to the search results page, here’s a meaningful extract on the topic of Addiction: Just as the Israelites worshiped the work of their hands (Jeremiah 10:3–4, 8–9), don’t many of…
