I have been a Christian since young but have never really done anything much to develop my own growth as a Christian apart from attending youth meetings and worship services. I think it is high time I take some responsibility for my faith. I have attended some programmes the church organised but I find it …

A friend sent me this short article by Edmund Chen and I thought it reflects my concerns but very nicely prescribes good habits to strengthen our spiritual health. Unfortunately I find that churches almost never dwell on how we should maintain our spiritual health, not even regularly encouraging members to faithfully practice daily devotions and …

My Christian friend took a shit on me for enjoying time and laughing at crude jokes with some friends, even calling me a sinner. “Lord, I want to get to know people but it’s challenging to wrestle with our differences. You hold yourself to the highest moral values, yet because you loved us so much, …

(Admin: Someone shared this article with me and I found it very useful and decided to reproduce it here. You can find it on crossway.org) It is a marvel how personally the Bible applies. The words pointedly address the concerns of long-ago people in faraway places, facing specific problems, many of which no longer exist. …
