My new work schedule is keeping my busy. There are a lot of challenges working in this place. I have somewhat neglected this space because nothing inspiring has been really happening. Until now...
On Feb 25 this year I blogged about perhaps writing a book one day (http://yeekiat.blogspot.sg/2015/02/new-writings-page.html). Well that has came sooner than expected. I will be joining two other brothers to write a book on the Gospel of Mark. I was given a huge privilege to teach a series of classes at the start of this year on the Book of Mark. Most of the content from those sessions will now be replicated into a book form. I look forward especially to writing on Mark 6 - specifically why Herod's beheading of John the Baptist is an important digression for us to understand Jesus' feeding of the five thousand. Without Mark digressing to write about John the Baptist's death, we will not understand the miracle. I hope to bring those links to light.
It will also be a contribution that we are making for the church's building fund. We have embarked on a new building project. All proceeds from the sale of this go to this fund.
God-willing that this will actually take off. If it does, I aim to also bring this book home to Sarawak.
