Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 When we turn from sin and come to Christ we become a new creation. The Bible says that each person who has experienced this new birth is a saint.

How can we encourage and praise our strong-willed children? Our oldest child, Skyler, was a spirited toddler. She was vocal, determined (she started walking at 9 months), extremely active and perceptive. We thought that we had our hands full with her, until her brother came along. Our second child, Elijah, was a strong-willed child right

As we prepare to usher in the Chinese New Year, we revisit a devotional by the late Michael Ross-Watson who ‘practiced what he preached’ and led, by example,  a life that truly finished well.

What to do when you discover that your child has discovered pornography? It is only a matter of time when our children will be exposed to pornography, if they haven’t been already. A 2016 Straits Times report revealed that nine in every 10 teenage boys and one in 10 girls in Singapore have admitted to watching or

What would it be like if our world was always day, with no night? I asked myself this question while on a plane from San Francisco to Singapore – a 16-hour flight, with nearly all of it in daylight because of the time zone differences. Because I love sunlight so much, I figured I wouldn’t
