Thank God for this App

Updated: Aug 4, 2022

By Stephen Ng

Realising the importance of Scripture Memory, which I did as a youth, I have tried going back to the flash cards which I prepared some 40 years ago.


I was just praying for a way I could better manage these memory cards. Thank God for this Appp -- `Bible Memory Verses,' which you can also download from App Store.


A lot Scriptures have been provided based on the themes -- and you can also choose the version that you would like to memorise the verses, too! They are organised in folders.


This is also useful when you want to share the Four Spiritual Laws with your friends. Everything is available at the tip of your index finger. To choose a particular folder, you just have to highlight the button beside the folder. Likewise, if you do not want to view the folder, you unclick it.


There are different modes that the verses will appear, but the one that I show you here is my favourte. You just have to choose the icon.




It is easy to use, but to familiarise yourself with it, you have to first play around with the App. It allows you to look at the Scripture reference; then, you can easily flip the memory card to read the verse behind it. You can also reverse the order.


To go to the next memory verse, you just simply slide it with your finger to the left.


I found out that you can also add verses of your own. It's easy! Just go to Library, click on the + icon, then add the verses manually. Click on the 'Set Address' to create the scripture reference. This is particularly useful for me to add verses I want to memorise in Hebrew and Greek. I can then put them into two separate folders.


Thank God for the technology!

Chatting Informally with Dan

Updated: Jul 22, 2022

Building Bridges Session


July 22, 2022

We had a great session with Dan today. By the way, Dan is not the short form for Daniel. Dan is the name of the 12 sons of Jacob who was later named Israel. It is also the name of the 12 tribes of Israel. Daniel is the name of one of the prophets in the Old Testament.


Let me briefly provide you some of the resources that he shared with me:

Every country has a right to share about her own achievements.


Some bits and pieces about the culture and the people of Israel today:

Famous Golda Ice Cream


The Golda Icre Cream is found at every corner of the street all over Israel during hot summer months. Can you read the Hebrew word?

Recipes:

National Dish Falafel


Pita Bread



Episode 2 - Pita Bread

Jerusalem Mixed Grill (Meorav Yerushalmi):


Fact Check: Abu Ali Express


This is the fact check on Instagram or Twitter account provided by Dan to fight against propaganda.

About the Druze community (דְרוּזִים)



Roll of Honour

These are the Israelis who have contributed a lot to their country (look out for the for the Druze soldier and see how many Muslim Arabs are also part of Israel’s independence)




Something about their independence days over the years...



The Father of Modern Hebrew

Google for the Father of Modern Hebrew, and the name Elizer Ben Yehuda will appear...



This is a good opportunity to build bridges -- and for people to meet a young man living in modern Israel to find out more about the country before you get the opportunity to go for your pilgrimage.


Dan is what you call the modern, secular Jewish young man, not the typical Hasidic Jewish religious rabbi that you have seen images of on the Internet.

The 21-year-old will share with us about the culture and the people in modern Israel. He was the one who got me interested in trying out some recipes of traditional Middle Eastern dishes that are popular in Israel. Maybe, some day when I have sufficient budget to travel to Israel, I would love to try out the food there.


You will also hear about the hoopoe, their national bird, and find out more about the nice places to visit when you try to Israel. He will also bring us to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth.


As Dan is now serving the army as part of their national service, I have asked him to share with us about the Iron Dome as well.


Don't miss this opportunity to meet Dan on Zoom!

Our First Hummus

Updated: Jul 13, 2022

By Stephen Ng


I have never tried this dish known as Hummus, but when Adeline Lau, a student of Hebrew from Kota Kinabalu, shared this picture after she had prepared the dish, I was impressed.


I just have to find time to try out my first Hummus. It is "a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. The standard garnish in the Middle East includes olive oil, a few whole chickpeas, parsley, and paprika." Read more here.


Just in case you can't find tahini, Adeline has this advice for us: "I did not have Tahini. So I pan fried black sesame seeds until it gave out a good fragrance. Added that into it to blend." Susie Thyaharaj let us know that we can get our tahini from either JAYA Grocer or Village Grocer.


You can watch this video to learn how to whip up your homemade hummus. This was shared earlier by another sister, Julie Victoria Jael.

This is the Turkish version:


Can we see more Hummus by others?
