My Theological Musings

  The same questions are often asked about prophecies in the last days, especially whether President Donald Trump was going to be re-elected as the President of America. Many  false prophets  have rode on the popularithy of the American presidential race to build a name for themselves.          The questions about Joel's prophecies that in the last days, our sons and daughters  will prophesy, old men will dream dreams, young men will see visions  (Joel 2:28) and of course, the evergreen question of baptism of the Holy Spirit will always resurface whenever the story of Pentecost is recounted.          Having studied this subject and being an inter-denominational person for over 40 years, allow me to elaborate:  1. In the last day, God reveals Himself through the Son, no longer through the prophets or any angels. (Heb 1:1-3).  2. The Holy Spirit through the Written Word of God points us to the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Himself.          There is no more guessing game as in a 'm

  I was asked about a so-called 'mission' group known as InterCP International from Korea.          A friend of a fellow OCFer has a daughter who is supposed to join  a short trip with  a “mission” group. The father wanted to know more about this organisation, and started enquiring about it more.          I thought this was the Mission Frontiers  that I had known back in Australia.  Even the title of the brochure used words that were similar to the organisation.           However, something prompted me to take a look at the organisation's website again. I made enquiries with a number of people,  but no one appears to know anything about this organisation which has set its base in Malaysia, until a missionary friend of mine responded. She said she would check with a Korean missionary counterpart of hers.           This is his advice. I have modified the names of the people in the chat to protect their identity. Marilyn James is my friend while Richard Richardson is a Korean.

  The Biggest Test of Riches that will Last Forever Are your riches built of gold, silver and all the precious stones, or of chaff that can be burnt or blown away by the wind? By Stephen Ng Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 IN the above passage, young pastor Timothy was advised by his mentor, the Apostle Paul to instruct the rich people, who were many times more experienced in life than Timothy himself. They were told that whatever millions or billions that they were hoarding are nothing but the "uncertainty of riches." When Job, a man of great wealth, experienced calamities that struck
