On Sunday, I was encouraged by the testimony of Albert Tai in how he did the right thing and followed his convictions. I’m sure that we can think of many times in our lives where we accidentally did something or made a mistake and could easily “get away with it” or sweep it under the rug and no one would know. But Albert demonstrated the costs it sometimes takes to live a life of fruitfulness. Although it cost Albert $600…

We had the amazing privilege to hear from Aunty Patricia Koh this past Sunday. She spoke on the story of Esther and how God uses the ordinary to do the extraordinary. There were so many gems that Aunty Patricia gave us and amazing lessons – but I want to share a testimony that highlighted what she spoke on. After our Sunday celebration, we had a leadership meeting upstairs in the fireside room. In the middle of the meeting, a gentleman…

Dear LifeSpring Family, As we celebrate Grandparents’ Month, I am reminded of the wisdom in Psalm 92:12-15. As someone in my sixties and a grandparent, I sometimes feel the urge to slow down. However, the Lord reminds me, and all grandparents, that we are called to continue walking in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. We must allow the fruit of the Holy Spirit to flow through us to our children, grandchildren, and everyone within our circle of influence, and intentionally…

Learning to be in the presence of the Lord and to hear his voice comes at a cost. It means you have to listen and obey. When God asks us to do things that don’t align with our own will or reasoning, we have to consider the kingdom and what it means for God to have lordship over our lives. Kingdom plans don’t always make sense. Jesus was given authority and power to do amazing things, but he did not…

We had an amazing privilege to hear from Gma Donna this past Sunday. As always, she brought so much depth that it will take time to unpack all that she brought to the Lifespring family. One of the gems that jumped out to me was she recognized a spirit that is working against the saints worldwide. Similar to how Jesus was able to recognize spirits and deal with them directly, Donna’s travels and discernment have helped her recognize spirits that…

I was recently watching some videos on the dismal state of the world, and it got me thinking about all that’s happening in the world and how it could affect my future. I started worrying and obsessing over it, and it honestly wasn’t good for my mental state. After forcing myself to stop trying to solve every problem out there and dwelling on hopelessness, I realized that in my moments of worry, it was purely me dwelling on the bad…

“There are different spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; and there are different ministries and the same Lord; and there are different activities but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good.” – 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 If the phrase “It’s in you to give” sounds familiar to you, that’s for a good reason. You can thank the Canadian Blood Services, who use that as…

Blessed is the one    who does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners take    or sit in the company of mockers,2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,    and who meditates on his law day and night.3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,    which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither—    whatever they do prospers. – Psalms 1:1-3 Blessings of Fruitfulness comes from being planted in the living waters of Jesus Christ. A close relationship with Jesus bears much fruits. …

I’d like to re-introduce to you one of the most rare and uncommon ancient practices that may drastically improve your life – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. Some of you might have heard of it before and for others it may be a new concept. As the title suggests, I am referring to the practice of meditating on the scripture. Perry’s message on Sunday offered us insight in the power of meditating on the scripture. He gave us four…

One of the things Uncle Perry touched on when he spoke last Sunday was the importance of reading and remaining in God’s Word. “Jesus answered, ‘It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” – Matthew 4:4/Deuteronomy 8:3. In this day and age, there are a million ways to consume the Word of God, whether that’s through audio Bible recordings, sermon recordings, devotions, podcasts, or audiobooks. While they can…

This past Sunday we had the amazing privilege of hearing a testimony from Alvin Koh, Steven Tse, and a message from our dear Grandpa Perry. Please take a moment to listen to them – you will be blessed! As Grandpa Perry was sharing his words of wisdom from his experience, I couldn’t help but think back of all the people that have made an impact in my own life. As a young man, I was trying to discover who I…

In my previous career as an educational assistant, I had the opportunity to visit different schools and work with a variety of children in different grades as well as working alongside many different teachers. One of the most impactful teachers I got to work with was a gym teacher in an elementary school. I was working in a grade 1 class at the time and he was their gym teacher. What made him stand out to me was his approach…
