About Me

This blog is the documented thoughts of a broken man touched by the gospel and grace of Jesus Christ, a pouring out of undeserved mercies.

Its primary purpose is to be an open journal to remember the goodness of the Saviour at various points of his life, through seasons of suffering and seasons of joy. Each bringing a greater sense of a deeper understanding of the love of Jesus Christ.

I praise God if you have been ministered by anything at all that you have read in this blog.

Why "The Gospel According to yeeks"?

"yeeks" was a nickname given to me by a fellow sister in church. To be very honest, I hated it at first because it sounded like a thing you would exclaim when you see a cockroach.

Over time however, it caught on with the rest of the church. I have since accepted it as the name that my family in Christ addresses me.

The Gospel According to yeeks is therefore not an attempt at adding to the Canonical gospels. It is the story of the gospel changing and transforming me from one degree of glory to another as I experience its daily power.

It is also an attempt to tell the same old gospel with my own words and with the circumstances I have been put through, and with the gifts that God has so graciously provided to those whom He uses.

人日

Yesterday was 人日, the 7th day of Chinese New Year. According to Chinese customs, this was the day humans were created. In modern times it is common to see people greet everyone "Happy birthday" on 人日. But what exactly is 人? This is probably the first Chinese character that everyone learns. Scripture tells us: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." (Gen 1:27) This has tremendous implications. Man was taken from dust and given the breath of life. He or she bears the divine image of the God of the Universe. This simple verse means at least a few things for us: (1) Because humans are made in His image, everyone bears the image of God. This includes people we don't like, or don't get along with. It includes people from a different race. It includes the disabled whom the world considers valueless. It means we should treat everyone by remembering they are a fellow image bearer. (2) In our lives ho...

2 Samuel 3 - Civil War in Israel and when Generals Run Amok

2 Samuel 3 – Civil War in Israel and when Generals Run Amok      The setting of 2 Samuel 3 describes Civil War in Israel. Perhaps Bible summaries have done us a disservice by describing David as the Second King of Israel after Saul and that is right, to some extent. But before David was king, there was Civil War in Israel where David was king in Judah, and Saul’s son Ish-bosheth was king over the Benjamin, and the rest of Israel. 2 Sam 3:1 documents for us: “There was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. And David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul became weaker and weaker.” We as readers know what will happen, for 1 Samuel already describes for us a time when Saul’s kingdom will go to David. But 2 Sam 3 is important for us. In both kingdoms, there are two generals, who overrule their kings. Abner overrules Ish-bosheth and Joab overrules David in these two kingdoms. First Abner, who by this time has gr...

The Love of God is Greater Far

Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky. "Verse 3 was penciled on the wall of a narrow room in an insane asylum by a man said to have been demented. The profound lines were discovered when they laid him in his coffin." http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/The_Love_of_God/
