Prayer and the Gospel
There is no question of the importance of prayer. Onwuchekwa puts it well in his book, “prayer is something essential to our existence” and “prayerlessness is spiritual suicide”. Yet, although most Christians agree in theory that prayer is essential, in practice it is often neglected. Frequently, our prayers are sparse and sporadic...
Peranan Pemikiran Dan Logik Di Dalam Iman Kristian
Seringkali kita mendengar frasa yang datangnya dari ramai orang Kristian yang berbunyi begini: “jangan persoalkan, terima saja dengan iman.” Secara umumnya, frasa ini datang daripada orang Kristian yang ikhlas mempercayai Alkitab. Masalahnya, frasa ini selalu digunakan untuk menepis soalan-soalan yang dalam dan susah dijawab berkaitan dengan Alkitab...

Living as Faithful Citizens
“Saya anak Malaysia” sings my son with joy as Merdeka approaches another year. Merdeka is a precious time for every Malaysian, an opportunity to pause from our everyday lives to thank God for the freedom and blessings he’s poured upon this land, and to commit the nation to his loving care...
Memahami Doktrin Tritunggal
Walaupun istilah “tritunggal” atau “triniti” tidak terungkap dalam Alkitab, namun konsepnya terbentang luas dan menyeluruh dalam Kitab Suci, bermula dari Kitab Kejadian hingga ke Kitab Wahyu. Misal kata, konsept tersebut ada terbentang di Kitab Kejadian dimana Allah bersama-sama Roh-Nya dan Firman-Nya menciptakan alam semesta...
The Speed and Efficiency Mindset
Let me confess from the start that the Covid-19 pandemic changed me in ways that I’m still growing to realize. Before the pandemic, I was quite concerned about efficiency and progress. I was the type of person that would log my calories, pay close attention to my exercise minutes, keep a habit tracker...
Biblical Theology of Race
Although Christians are familiar with the Biblical injunction that faith in Jesus Christ means, among other things, the rejection of racism (e.g., Gal. 3:28; Eph. 2:14), the history of Christianity leaves much to be desired of. The Holy Writ was abused by Nazi Germany to espouse anti-Semitism and the promotion of the Aryan master race...
Living by Plan or Living by Promise?
If the last 2 years have taught us anything, it’s that our plans are fickle and fragile. Plans to study abroad, to change jobs, to move cities and even to marry have been crushed by a microscopic virus. When we stop and reflect, some of us might realise that even without this pandemic, life often isn’t...
Christian Unity
In most societies, the majority is usually the stronger group while smaller groups are the weaker minority. In Romans 14 and 15 however, Paul shows us a gospel-centred model of unity, which contrasts strongly with how the world works. Gospel-centred unity is driven by love, pursues peace, and is sustained by hope...
The Colour of Forgiveness and Hope: CNY Message 2022
After two years of pandemic, what a joy it is to be reunited with our loved ones again this Chinese New Year! As we do every year, we’re busy decorating our houses with red: red paper, red lanterns, red clothing, red firecrackers, and of course getting ready to hand our hong bao full of money to our loved ones. Why is the colour red so important to Chinese New Year? How can the colour red remind us of the lasting security and blessing we have in Christ?
The Christmas Command: How should we respond to Christmas?
How should we respond to Christmas? The Bible’s answer may be summed up by the word “worship.” One key word for “worship” in the New Testament refers to “the act of prostration in homage or reverence”. This act of service or devotion is rendered by rational creatures to God alone. But how should we view this exhortation in light of the Christmas season? How has Christmas added to our understanding of the worship of God?
