The More, The Much More, and The Much Much More!

Thursday, 19th February 2026

I was just updating the links to my "blog list" to remove those that are broken and happen to click on the link to my ex-church, Paya Lebar Methodist Church ("PLMC").

Guess what their theme for this year is!!!

I seriously kid you not!

Last year, God prompted me to bid $10,500 for a painting done by Darren Teo, the Head of Prophetic Arts of PLMC because the drawing had the same name as our church's theme for 2025, Third Day!

You can read more about that Kairos encounter here:

At the Crossroads (Part 5)

This year, the law-based, anti-NewCre PIC (let's call him K) of PLMC came up with a theme somewhat similar to NewCre's.

But of course, being grace-based, NewCre's theme is MUCH more, ie. 更多更盛

Perhaps God is telling me to get ready because He is going to cause Ps Alvin Chan, son of Robert Chan, to return back home in 2027, after completing his sabbatical, to replace K as PIC?

Background info: while Robert was in leadership, he did not want his son to be posted to PLMC lest he be accused of cronyism.  Well, Robert has since retired from active leadership so that concern of his is no longer valid, and his son can finally return home.

So let's all pray in agreement for that to come to pass!  Then PLMC, like NewCre, can experience God's MUCH MUCH more!

Recently, I teased Ps Alvin, who is a hardcore Liverpool supporter, that his team waited 30 years for a Premier League title.  He graduated from Trinity Theological College in 1995, so that's coming to 31 years being out of the "promised land".

England last won the World Cup in 1966, and are favourites to win it this year, 60 years on.  May Ps Alvin not have to wait that long to return home. After all, in the year 2055, we would all either have been raptured or most of us would have returned to our true home in heaven.

"He's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming. Alvin's coming home!"

By the way, some PLMC members have warned me not to "sabotage" Ps Alvin's posting, but I will tell them I am so small and insignificant in the overall scheme of things.

My dad has gone back to be with the Lord, while I myself am not even attending PLMC. If it is God's will for Ps Alvin to be posted there, then not even the devil can stop it.

Just like how I went public in July 2010 about my relationship with Ps Reuben Ng, which you can read about here:

Confessions of a Denominational Church Escapee

That did not in any way stop him from becoming TRAC President in 2025 (and who knows, even the Bishop one day?) because it is God Himself who was, is, and will be, the one to orchestrate everything to establish His kingdom purposes. Amen? 

Let's all believe for God to give us much, much, more!

Oh ya, speaking of Ps Alvin, both he and me grew up in Sunday School together, and our dads were the best of pals, serving faithfully for decades in the LCEC and PPRSC together.

While tidying up the Study. I came across this one of us guys celebrating CJ's 21st birthday in July 1988. We were the only ones wearing blue.  A sign? ;-)

From L to R: Vincent Chang, Alvin Chan, Jeff Mok, Andy Toh, CJ, Philip Huan, Kervin Tan, me, Andrew Chiang, Charles Chee, Raymond Huan.

CJ, the rose among the thorns.
