Leadership Attracts Opposition

Leadership attracts opposition. When you are unknown nobody really cares about you. However, when you occupy a leadership position everybody wants to pick on you. All eyes on you.

Why? Because leadership initiates change and change threatens the survival of those who have thrived on existing structures. This naturally breeds opposition. My advice: Expect opposition but plan to overcome it with persuasion and the right attitude. Opposition can fuel a leader’s performance when received positively but could bring distraction when handled inappropriately.

Learn from the apostle Paul. When he faced opposition (read 2 Corinthians 11:23-27), he stands firm in his faith, attitude, and integrity - and so God sustained and made him an example for all leaders #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader

I Can Do All Things through a Bible Verse Out of Context

People love to quote their favorite verses to encourage and inspire each other - but sometimes, those verses get taken out of context. What can you do to avoid twisting a verse’s meaning and minimize the damage of misusing it? It starts with three simple questions:

> What's the main theme of the book/letter/chapter(s)?

> What is the context of the verse?

> What does it mean?

With these three basic questions, you can quote the verse faithfully and with confidence. If you're nearby in the Kuching area, join us in the chapter-by-chapter Bible Study #DugDownDeep every THURSDAY evening  By properly studying the Bible in its context you can better apply the truth in your life... and share the Good News to others #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader

Apabila Berdoa, Jangan Guna Pembesar Suara (Matius 6:5-8)

Ada orang suka 'berdoa' untuk dilihat oleh orang lain. Ada juga yang sengaja mahu membiarkan orang lain tahu dengan mengumumkannya. Ada yang berdoa dengan kata-kata yang tidak bermakna. Sebut tetapi hati jauh daripada TUHAN dan/atau bercakap dengan tidak menggunakan akal. Ada lagi yang berdoa panjang seolah-olah TUHAN memerlukan laporan dan boleh dimanipulasikan. Apakah prinsip dan kebenaran tentang berdoa yang kita boleh belajar daripada Yesus melalui petikan firman Matius 6:5-8 ini? #ServeToLead

The Law of the Mirror #3 You Must See Value In Yourself to Add Value to Yourself

Why do so many people fail to grow and reach their potential? One main reason: low self-esteem. Many people don't believe in themselves. They don't see the possibilities. They are convinced that they won't be able to learn and grow. "If you don't realize that you have genuine value and that you are worth investing in," writes John C. Maxwell, "then you will never put in the time and effort needed to grow to your potential."

Books that Help Me to Think Like an Informed-Atheist

Most Christians (or theists, for the fact) don't read books that can challenge their faith. Perhaps Christianity itself is perceived as difficult, and so, to add issues to the complexity of the religious beliefs can be troublesome. To me, truth is truth. If Christianity proved to be false, then, by integrity, I have to reject it. And so, in my quest to seek the truth, I explore other alternatives such as atheism. The outcome? Well, after about a year of searching, I can't get rid of the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is too real to be the product of imagination. I believe that He is the way, the truth, and the life
  

Btw, here are 5 books (among others, you can ask me for more info) that I read to explore and experiment with the idea of atheism. The good things about reading these books and others are that they can expand my rational thinking, be compassionate with their arguments, and better understand their perspectives (I agreed a lot). But two cautions that you need to take into account are that they can be very blasphemous (I almost can't stand how they using the name of God in vain) and in their pride to be rational are actually illogical in most of their basic arguments. Read these books at your own risk! #ServeToLead #LeadersAreReaders #TestYourFaith

I'm Saving My Past Self

Nanjing's Yangtze River Bridge has been one of the world's most popular suicide spots. One man named Chen Si has been volunteering on the bridge every weekend for the past 15 years. He has saved more than 330+ people so far.

To the news reporter, Mr. Si said, "When I talk to those people who want to commit suicide, they are really kind and nice people, they just made a small mistake, took a wrong step." One man can make a difference! You probably can't save 330+ people (but possible), but you can help one person at a time. Perhaps, you can start by being a listener to one right now

#1Book1Week February 2020

Francois Fenelon claims to be said that: "If all the crowns of Europe were placed at my disposal on condition that I should abandon my books and studies, I should spurn the crowns away and stand by the books." Wow! Imagine spurning the crown and choosing books instead. I'm a bit skeptical about this quote, but I can identify with his passion for books and learning. Here are my #1Book1Week lists for February 2020:

2) Is Jesus God? The Answer Matters (2015) by Our Daily Bread Ministries

3) Time of Your Life: 3 Steps to Take Control of Your Life (2007) by Anthony Robbins
