Remembering Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore : 1940- 2025

Image
It was with great sadness that I received the news of Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore’s passing on the 20th of June, at the age of 84.  Though our hearts grieve, we do not mourn as those without hope.  As Psalm 116:15  reminds us: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.” Uncle Malcolm (as he was fondly called) was truly one of God’s faithful servants, a man whose life was marked by worship, prayer, evangelism, generosity, and love for both God and people. I remember not just someone who lived long, but someone who lived well, for the glory of God. A man of worship One thing that stands out in his life is that Uncle Malcolm was a gifted musician. He played the violin not as a performer, but as a worshipper. When he played, it was as if heaven drew near. His music ushered in the presence of God, just like the Levites in the Old Testament, who ministered before the Lord with stringed instruments. 1 Chronicles 25:6 ...

His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u...

God’s Faithfulness in Our Nation - Blessed National Day Singapore

Text:   “The Lord did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your ancestors…”  –  Deuteronomy 7:7–8   When God chose Israel, it was not because of their size, power, or wealth. In fact, they were a small, vulnerable nation surrounded by mighty empires. Yet God’s choice was based solely on His love and covenant faithfulness.   Moses spoke these words to Israel, he was reminding them of an important truth:   Their survival and success  When  were not because of their strength, resources, or wisdom — but because of God’s faithfulness and mercy.   Singapore’s story mirrors this in remarkable ways. In 1965, we were a tiny island with no natural resources, no hinterland, and little global influence. Kicked out of Malaysia, many wondered if we could even survive. By every human calculatio...
