By Rev Dr Clive Chin As the Christian church around the world marks the 504th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, there is a desperate need to renew our commitment to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is at the heart of the Reformation, because it is the key to Jesus’ teaching: “‘The time has come,’ he said. ‘The kingdom of God is near. Repent and…

By Rev Dr Edward Goh There are two appointments in life no one will ever miss. They are death and judgment. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 9:27 that it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment. We cannot see the judgment to come. It is in the future. But we can see death…

By Dr Dominic Kuek During my time as a doctor, I quickly learnt that there’s no such thing as taking a break from my profession. I got used to the idea that, even on a day off, I could be asked to give medical advice when meeting friends, be expected to help if someone faints in a mall, and even called to respond if there’s a medical emergency on the plane. Thankfully,…

By Ps Tan Hui Ru One of John Piper’s more famous quotes is “Missions exist because worship doesn’t” — his point is that we proclaim God’s name to all nations so that God will be worshipped by all nations.

As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’” (John 20:21) John Piper says that “Missions exists because worship doesn’t.” Adapting his motto just a little, my lecturer in mission at Trinity Theological College would say, “Mission exists because worship doesn’t.” What’s so different between the two? As our church…

By Pr Herna Kong “And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 3:15). Do we read the Bible every day? Some of us may say, “I don’t have the time.” However, don’t we still make time for other things? We often struggle to make the time to read the Bible, even though we know that…

By Dr Dominic Kuek “So how are you going to apply the sermon today?” I remember being quite taken aback when the lady sitting next to me in church asked me that very question after service. Quite frankly, my mind had been preoccupied with lunch plans at that moment, and the thought of discussing the sermon (and the implications it has on my life) with someone else had…

By Rev Dr Edward Goh Channel News Asia recently reported that some teachers’ mental health is at an all-time low. An engagement survey shows thirty per cent of the MOE teachers are struggling to cope with the increased work stress brought about by the need to generate new lesson plans, online quizzes, and monitor the emotional cum mental health of students amid the…

By Dr Agnes Tan At the beginning of our COVID-19 lockdown, the choir chose an anthem called “A Community of Faith” as their first audio recording project and as a reminder of what a community of faith should look like, even when facing a global pandemic. The refrain of the anthem goes like this, “A community of faith, loving one another. A community of grace, reaching out…
