A Response to the Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

Today I listened to a message by Dr. R.C. Sproul. For some time I have thought of writing an article on the health issues and psychological problems of homosexuality. I was quite surprised with US legalising of same sex marriage this year. And then I wondered on how Christians in the US responded. This message had the following points which I found enlightening ·    
  • Sins of homosexuality
  • Role of state 
  • Living under an unjust state
  • Obedience to God and state
Here’s the message
Renewing your Mind by Dr RC Sproul

Friday, June 26, 2015 the United States Supreme Court issued a 5-to-4 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in all fifty states. In this special edition of Renewing Your Mind, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr., and Chris Larson join Lee Webb to discuss what this ruling means for the church and Christian institutions, and to address how Christians should respond.

How to focus on God and be a good healthcare worker

I gave an opening message at Cru medical welcome tea for medical & nursing freshman at Yong Loo Lin school of medicine. Freshman who were interested in a christian medical ministry were invited. It was held on 13 Aug 15.  

My message was on "How to focus on God and be a good healthcare worker" I had the following points
  • Odds of the freshmen entering medicine
  • Medicine is a noble profession
  • Jesus was a teacher and healer
  • Pay is good and sufficient though not as high as lawyers of finance industry
  • William Osler " Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability "
  • But God does not play dice Proverbs 16:33
  • How to train as a Dr? Study hard, see patients, present cases, get criticized, Lots of tests and exams. Suffer a lot. Needs discipline and dedication.
  • Training is tough for the next 10 years but worth it
  • Growing as a Christian also needs training. It is not natural. Read the bible, pray, obey and practice God's commands. Go through lots of tests and exams called trials, temptations and tribulations. Suffer a lot.  Needs discipline and dedication.
  • If a famous HOD offered you a coveted residency position would you take it?
  • Romans 8:17. God has offered us a position as co-heirs with Christ
  • Student years are the best years to grow spiritually.

My colleagues works

I have put up 2 of my colleagues work, both with their permission, The 1st is a case study by my family medicine fellowship course mate. We would post our case studies via email and then our colleagues would provide feedback.  I commented on his case with some self reflections and bible verses. I have place the case under Q&A section. Check the link below.

Being ADL independant

Another of my colleague gave a presentation of 3 medical cases from Nepal and India. The talk was done in my clinic to doctors and nurses.  He does frequent medical trips to these areas. The 3 cases were very interesting as they were different from routine clinic. My colleague reflected on the quality of life in a poorer country and their belief system.


I have place this video in a new page under Resources / Video collection

Remembering Mr Lee Kuan Yew

Picture
Last Monday 23 May 2015, Singapore founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, passed away at the age of 91. Singapore had a week of morning which ended with a state funeral on 29 March. Mr Lee is well respected by many Singaporeans for his strength of character, tenacity and foresight in building Singapore into a modern city. I have put together a collection of Mr Lee personal ideas of staying healthy, aging, caring for his sick wife, and thoughts of dying. And a eulogy by his daughter Dr Lee Wei Ling who described her father's last days. 

Thank you Mr Lee

Demons

Demons

Ephesians 6;12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

There is a lot of misconceptions on what goes on in the spirit world and how it affects our lives, even our health and the way we think. Many of our ideas on demons are strung together by bits of bible, Hollywood myths. Biblical sound doctrines on demons are few and discussions by medical experts on demon possession are rarer. 
Demons is a feature section where I try to piece facts on a difficult topic to help medical practitioners understand the spiritual world

Medical preparation for trips

Church camp 2014

Medical support for a overseas trip

I have added 1 new article and 1 new Q&A. And they happen to related. I was the camp doctor for my church camp this June 2014. I had to handle a food poisoning outbreak and have documented my experience in Church camp 2014. A fellow nurse volunteered to be in charge of first aid for her church overseas mission trip. She requested for some tips and my answers are in the latest Q&A post.

4 Spiritual Laws

How can I repay the Lord?


I wrote 2 articles about my spiritual lessons and placed them under Reflections.  4 Spiritual Laws briefly describes how I came to know Jesus. And to thank Him for the gift of eternal life and earthly blessings, is a wonderful devotion by Lam Kok Hiang in How can I replay the Lord?
