When someone is going through a difficult time, we often feel the need to say something. “It’s okay.” “He/she is in a better place.” “I understand.” “I feel you.” “God must have a reason.” “Everything happens for a reason.” “Be strong.” These are phrases we commonly use when someone is grieving or going through a difficult season. None of them are necessarily wrong. In fact, there are moments when these words can genuinely encourage someone. The problem is not always what we

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18, NKJV) Mark 16:17–18 is often used in prayer as though proclaiming these words is part of exercising spiritual authority in casting out demons or praying for healing. A closer observation of t

One of the painful things we see among many young people, and perhaps even among adults, is how abusive behaviour can sometimes be disguised as love. “I'm telling you this because I love you.” “For the sake of our relationship, don't do that.” “If you really love me, you won't talk to that person.” “I don't want you to go there.” “You should dress this way.” “You don't need those friends anymore.” At first, such words may sound like concern. Sometimes they may even come fro

The recent 80s trend has brought nostalgia for an old fashion that had almost been forgotten. The trend shows how much time has passed, with many of us not even born during that era. Yet, seeing these old styles come back has also made us think about how much life has changed over just a few decades. What was once an ordinary way of life now looks nostalgic to us, and perhaps there is more to this nostalgia than just fashion. It makes us wonder what life was like before techn

Not only does the Constitution give us the right to have an opinion, but having our own voice is also a basic human right. Everyone has the freedom to think and express their views, even when those views are different from others. When God created man, He gave him the free will to choose right and wrong, to express himself before the Creator and before other creatures. Man was created with a will to express himself. We seem to be living in a time when almost everything has be

In a world that has almost everything—social media that connects us to people across the globe, artificial intelligence that can do what once seemed impossible, and technologies that continue to reshape the way we live—there is still something many people quietly long for. HOPE For all our progress, we have not solved the deepest struggles of the human heart. We look around us and wonder where hope can be found. Politics promises change but often disappoints. The economy

Intensive youth camps have become powerful platforms to reach seekers, strengthen believers, and build Christian communities. Today, many churches and ministries organize these camps regularly, recognizing their value and influence in shaping lives. Yet, despite their impact and influence, many of these changes fade with time. Every year, many young people return from youth camps filled with joy and fresh commitment. They sing louder, pray longer, and speak about change wit

"Renew Thy Church" has become a familiar theme preached in many churches today. It is both timely and necessary, especially in an age when the church is increasingly vulnerable to compromise. I have listened to many excellent sermons, teachings, and articles on this subject, and I have benefited greatly from them. Yet I believe that genuine renewal begins with simple, yet profound, steps. In times such as ours, when Scripture is often sidelined, faith is overshadowed by strat

Have you ever heard people talking about you, only to realize they were describing something you had never even experienced? Perhaps by the time you found out, the story had already passed through several people. What was even more surprising was not simply that the story existed, but how confidently it was repeated. People spoke as though they knew exactly what had happened, yet you knew the story was inaccurate because you were the person at the centre of it. Experience

"Can Theological Truth Comfort Grief?" There are moments when the absence of a loved one is felt more deeply than at other times. A familiar memory, a significant occasion, or an unexpected reminder can bring to mind someone who is no longer here. While many people celebrate and give thanks for those they love, others are reminded of a loss that remains deeply felt even after the passing of time. In moments like these, Christians often hear well-meaning words: "You have a

Recent events have once again shocked our communities. News of a minor being sexually assaulted has stirred anger, grief, and countless discussions. As details emerge, many demand justice. Others search for explanations. Yet amidst the noise, one question continues to surface in different forms – Whose fault was it? The answer, at one level, is clear. The responsibility for such a crime rest with those who chose to commit it. No victim, whether child or adult, should bear

Every generation speaks about change. We desire a better society. We long for honest leaders, fair systems, justice for the vulnerable, and peace within our communities. We condemn corruption, criticize exploitation, and speak against the many social evils that continue to affect our world. Yet despite our concerns, many of these problems remain. Corruption continues to flourish. The powerful often exploit the weak. Truth is sacrificed for personal gain. Communities remain

The growing debate across social platforms over whether the church and politics should remain completely separate continues to draw attention from many people. Some strongly argue that faith should remain within the walls of the church, while others believe Christianity must actively engage with public and political life. As long as the world continues to exist, this debate may probably never truly come to an end. This article does not seek to argue every position within th

The question you are not asking We all live with questions. Some are small, some are deep. But there is one question we often ignore—the one that matters most . Every day, we live with questions. From the moment we wake up, our minds begin to ask— Should I get up now, or stay in bed a little longer? What should I wear today? What should I eat? What should I study? And as life moves forward, the questions grow deeper— What is the purpose of my life? Why am I here? Why am I fac

You type a message to send to someone and read it again. It is not wrong, it makes sense, and it says what you want to say. Yet instead of sending it, you pause and start questioning the tone, the wording, and how it might be received. You wonder whether it could sound better, clearer, or safer. The message itself has not changed, but your confidence in it has. This is how overthinking often shows up — not as obvious mistakes, but as quiet doubt over what is already enough.

In a world where division and isolation dominate the pursuit of individual liberty, the Christian community shines as a beacon of hope, love, and unity. As believers, we are called to build a flourishing community that reflects the heart of God, embodying the transformative love of Christ. A community is a group of individuals united by shared characteristics and experiences. This community aims to include people from diverse backgrounds, embracing and celebrating the diversi

One afternoon, I was talking with a friend about a student who was finally coming to fellowship. I expected excitement, maybe even a small celebration. But instead, he said, “He should.” I stopped mid-thought. “He should?” I asked. “Yes,” my friend replied. “He’s been gone for a while, but he’s coming back. It’s expected.” I paused and stared at him. There was no joy in his voice, no sense of gratitude, no spark of celebration for someone returning to the fellowship. Ju

Why is it so hard to read the Bible daily, even when we know it is important? Why do we feel guilty when we miss it, yet still struggle to remain consistent? And what do we really expect when we open the Bible? Perhaps the issue is not only about discipline, but about how we understand Scripture itself. We own the Bible, treasure it, and carry it to every meeting and every church gathering. Some read it occasionally, others daily, yet the struggle remains. Reading becomes l

The message of the resurrection stands at the very heart of the Christian faith. Without it, Christianity loses its foundation, its meaning, and its hope. Paul, in First Epistle to the Corinthians 15, reminds believers of the gospel he preached—a message they had received, in which they stand, and by which they are being saved. As Paul describes the gospel, it is important to recognize that it is not merely a collection of wise teachings or moral instructions. The gospel is n

Many Christians believe that the biblical teaching of love should be so inclusive that sin in our communities is left unchallenged for the sake of “love.” There are instances where, in the name of “understanding people with love,” sin is openly tolerated even within Christian homes and communities. Does the biblical teaching of love include tolerating sin in our daily lives? Is tolerating sin truly an act of love? Many of us think that sin spreads because people commit it. We
