"Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. ...

Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." — Romans 12:1-2, The Message

Artificial Intelligence (AI) came to widespread public attention in 2022 with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Since then, an explosion of companies (including Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and multiple startups) has launched their own version of generative AI. Today, AI is pervasive in workplaces

"God knows what season you're in, and there's grace for that season." — Nicol Meyer

“A woman can have it all, one thing at a time.” I learnt this adage at one of the lowest points in my life. As a stay-at-home mum (SAHM) with a baby and a toddler, I had neither domestic help nor parents and in-laws available to lend a hand. I experienced a moment of blind panic: &ld

"All creation is meant to be a finger pointing us to ultimate glory, the only glory that can ever satisfy the human heart, the glory of God."—Paul David Tripp

This month, I had to be in Korea for my cousin's wedding, and some of my friends asked if I was going to do any fillers. (I didn’t!) Whatever I got done on my face—cheek filler, nose filler, jaw filler or the like—would merely be temporary. As time passed, age and weathering wo

"Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” – Matthew 11:29, MSG

I recently finished reading a very interesting book: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. In one of the chapters, “The Secret of the Easy Yoke”, he makes a reference to Matthew 11:28–30: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you

"Open your discourse with a jest, and let your hearts laugh a little; then become serious." – Jewish Talmud

I was teaching recently at a seminar in Indonesia. As usual, I tried to break the ice by beginning with a humorous story. No one laughed. Except maybe my interpreter. Later, I asked why. “You are a pastor,” I was told, “Pastors are supposed to be serious.” Really? In the

“Any time we practice hospitality we follow in the steps of our lavishly hospitable God.”

— Dustin Willis & Brandon Clements, The Simplest Way to Change the World

The COVID-19 pandemic was officially declared by the World Health Organization in early 2020. [1] The suspending or limiting of activities not only brought panic and anger, but also highlighted the sense of loneliness and alienation that many people felt. Catholic theologian and priest Henri Nouw

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit." — Ps 34:18

In preparation for our upcoming Sexual Assault Conference, I thought I would do well to revisit all that we had packed into the 344 pages of the book we published in 2023 on this very topic of Sexual Assault in the Church. I was humbled by the honesty of the narratives we captured within these pages
