The tone woods that are used in the guitar construction affect your guitar cost above everything else. Unlike electric guitars, there are not many other significant factors involved. Pickups, vibrato tailpieces and special strings are not often used in acoustic guitars(unless you aspire to mod it yourself or want to buy a acoustic plugin guitar). [...]

Conclusion to the Power of Brokenness

There are shakings happening right now all around us in the church and in the world, at all levels. Nationwide During the recent AWARE Saga, it was suddenly a disgrace to be called a Christian in Singapore, because of infighting within AWARE between the Christians.

Mark 14:1-9: “Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2“But not during the Feast,” they said, “or the people may riot.” 3While he was in Bethany, reclining at [...]

Isa 54:2-3: Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.

Be it spiritually, emotionally or even [...]

What does brokenness do(Part 1)?

Brokenness break s the roofs over our lives! Mark 2:1-12 is a beautiful story of a paralytic who received his miracle in a unusual way.

Love, love, love

1 Cor 13:13- And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Had a great talk with Gary today. Hearing him share his stories about how just by dreaming big, loving and believing in youths, many of his cell members have risen up to become generals in God’s army! [...]

How does a unbroken man look like?

In summary, I’ve observed there are 4 main characteristics that describe a unbroken man: 1. Full of Self Symptoms: Overly conscious of self. Not willing to lift hands in worship. What will my friends think about me? What will the girl I like thinks about me? Everything has got to do with him/herself. Often, their mindset is [...]
