Holy Matrimony

Posted by Ka Wong on

“And here’s a second offense: You fill the place of worship with your whining and sniveling because you don’t get what you want from God. Do you know why? Simple. Because God was there as a witness when you spoke your marriage vows to your young bride, and now you’ve...

Gifts from God

Posted by Derrick Liu on

Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him! Matthew...

He Came to Be in the Fire

Posted by Karlson Wong on

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 I attended a wedding a few weeks back and really lost myself in tears during worship (love it when that happens!). We...

Christmas and All That

Posted by Stephen Birkett on

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders; and He will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father...

If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. Luke 9:23–24 Fear is a catalyst that drives people to make certain decisions. At...

The Process of Change

Posted by Dawn Lau on

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 Most of us are creatures of habit and we are resistant to change. It is easy to tread the well-worn path and do what we’ve always done...

The Cost of Grace

Posted by Kevin Lau on

I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! Galatians 2:21 I remember a story I once heard about a man who placed biographical books on a bookshelf. The ‘better’ the people, the higher up on the shelf they...

Fake News

Posted by Joseph Mohan on

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them – bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and...

I Have Only Done My Duty

Posted by on

Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat?’ Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink...

Time Is on Our Side. Is It?

Posted by Karlson Wong on

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 I have been thinking about time a lot lately. As working parents of a young toddler, time is scarce, and it forces you to plan each week wisely. A few months back, my wife and I were reading through some parenting...
