For He Knows The Plans He Has For Me?
May this example of the Israelites in exile and God’s instructions through Jeremiah help us move out of an inactive, confused or numb season, into one that brings us to look deeper into different areas of our lives.

The Church Must Be Ready For Endemic
With daily COVID infected cases easily exceeding more than a thousand together, and potentially reaching a few thousands in weeks to come, how should the church handle this crisis?

Not Just A “Lip Service” Kind Of Faith
How many times have we said we should rely on faith, we should look to God, we should pray more, we should give thanks for His grace, yet it only becomes lip service? Our words are tools of deception that we use on ourselves and others. So we must carefully look at how we make our decisions for time, on people, on our situations, to reflect on the state of our hearts.
Humility Is Not About Accepting Every View
The liberal culture of the present times is advocating a kind of “humility”, whereby every view needs to be respected or accepted. Gone are the days where we need to seek truths. Giving strong and definite views are shunned as it is easily seen as “not humble”. When this kind of culture make its way into the church, humility will be seen as accepting all kinds of teaching, doctrines and methodology, without making an imperative critique. We must reject this kind of humility at all cost, as it is a form of disguise to make way for more adulterated teachings into the church.
Re-looking At Freedom

Why Do We Strangely Choose Something that Clearly Harms Us?
Have you ever regretted some of your foolish decisions or actions?

Cover Our Relative Matters With The Absolute Truth
Many times we can be influenced and even fall into Satan’s deceptive traps, causing us to almost lost sight of God. But let us test our hearts today to reveal the areas of relativity in our situations and what requires the cover of God’s absolute truth. When we know and start right with His Word, we will then be guided by the right voice. Let us restore the new way of living by faith in our circumstances.
Should The Church Accept Female Preachers?
The issue of having female preachers in the church has been a controversial one. While we have seen more churches nowadays accepting female preachers and ministers serving on the stage, how should we do justice to the text when the scriptural instruction plainly states that a woman should not teach or to assume authority over a man? And is it biblical to readily and unreservedly ordain female minsters as Pastors and Elders in the Church? This week’s devotion sees Pastor Vincent Choo weighing in on this controversial topic that has plagued the church for centuries.
