By Ps Ho Wei Liang Comparing our gifts and status to those of the person sitting next to us on the same pew (or in a time like this, next to us on the Zoom gallery view) is a very dangerous thing to do. Judging ourselves by this standard belittles or inflates what we have…
By Pr Herna Kong Since the Pentecost, we have lived in the age of the Holy Spirit in which the Holy Spirit works miraculously to fulfil the Father’s plan. The apostle Peter says, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you…
