By Pr Herna Kong Being still is something alien to most of us, especially in our living in the fast-paced developed country of Singapore. This fast-paced expectation has even seeped not only into our daily routines but also into our ministries, so much so that it leaves little room for us to selah — to…
By Ps Ho Wei Liang As busy and performance-oriented Singaporeans, our focus is often on the tasks we must accomplish. Sometimes we bring that mentality into our church ministries. Yes, the tasks are necessary and important, but let us bear in mind that they are not the end goal. Remember, we are serving the church.…
By Rev Dr Edward Goh In encouraging us to conduct ourselves honourably before others by putting our trust in God, 1 Peter 3:10-12 cites Psalm 34, which has a subtitle suggesting it was written by David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, the king of Achish.

By Rev Dr Clive Chin First Peter was a circular letter sent to multiple churches dispersed in Asia Minor (i.e., Turkey). These churches were comprised mostly of Gentile converts, who were harassed and persecuted by their Roman neighbours for their Christian faith (2:12; 3:16; 4:16). Under pressure, many were tempted to relapse morally and to…
