Brand of Christianity

NIKE. ADIDAS. KATE SPADE. MACDONALDS. STARBUCKS...

All are world renowned brands that transcend almost all communities globally. These brands are able to strike a chord with us because they mean something be it our social status, earning power and essentially our identity. 
Not that these brands determine who we are but there's this connection that makes us want to be associated with these labels. 

What will the 'brand of Christianity' be and look like then? If I were to create a logo/symbol representing Christianity, what would it be? When we share the gospel or tell of who Jesus is, how will these pre-believers envision what Christianity is and ultimately, who will they become when they put on this brand?

a) Ephesians 
5:1 - "Therefore be imitators of God as dear children."
5:8 - "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light."

b) Philippians
1:27 - "Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ..."
2:14-15 - "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world."

One thing is for sure; the brand of Christianity will stand the test of times. It will never lose its essence or appeal because Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end. He is the brand's Creator and may our identity be shaped and moulded into one that is closely synonymous with who Christ is.

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...

Worthy 2 Quote

" There's no higher than The Most High." - Uncle Ed Pousson " Walking right doesn't make God-lovers. Walking right just makes it easier for Him to bless and use you." - Uncle Ross Patterson. 2 powered statements from 2 power servants of God in 2 power weeks. What more can I say? Let my words be few then.
