Filial Blessing     By Liliana Chan        
There are not many commandments in the Bible that carries a promised reward from God. Honoring our parents is one of them. May today’s devotional give us a timely reminder of the need to love our parents, the ones who have loved us first.

Seek Your Servant     By Stephen Ku        
The Lord is My Shepherd. This we know. In times when our knowledge of His word and our own strivings are not enough to keep us close to Him, let us not forget to call out to Him. Let us call upon the Lord to seek us out, on the basis that we have not forgotten His commandments and want to return to Him.

God's Work Starts at Home     By Angela Ho        
Our zeal for God in doing church work should not cause us to overlook our family commitments. In fact, providing for our family is part and parcel of doing God’s work. It is the starting point and the basis of godly service in the church: “for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?” (1 Tim 3:5).

Music to the Lord     By Hain-Lee Hsueh        
Music is a form of expression in our daily lives, whether through our iPods on the street or from the radio in our cars. What melodies are most likely to be stuck in our heads and hummed from our mouths? What place does the word of God have in the songs we listen to?

Mission Statement     By Rupert Cass        
Every morning as we get out of bed, we have a choice as to how we want to spend the rest of the day. We have choices as to what we want to accomplish in a week, or month, or year. For what do we live? As a church, we should have the same considerations when implementing programs. Do we have a mission statement that concurs with God’s salvation plan?

To the Rock that Is Higher than I     By Sarah Lin        
When David was at his wits’ end, he asked to be led to the Rock that is higher than him. It is all so easy to feel overwhelmed when troubles flood our days. Whether it is something requiring our action or things beyond our control, we often find ourselves troubled and weary, even harboring grievances. That’s why we need to turn to God, and move up to the Rock higher than all our troubles.

While It Is Day     By Stephen Ku        
It is human nature to procrastinate. In our life of faith — our relationship with God and service to Him — it is often the case. What would you do differently if you realize that time may not be in your hands?

An Unremarkable Gesture     By Hain-Lee Hsieh        
When we think of testimonies, we think of big miracles. Actually, everyday is full of testimonies of the Lord’s mercy and love for us. We just have to be more attuned to the many seemingly unremarkable miracles God performs for us each and every day.

Not a Leftover     By Liliana Chan        
Most people do not enjoy eating leftovers. Leftovers are always low on our priority lists. Yet, unknowingly, many of us have relegated God to a position of being a leftover, turning to God only when all else fails, or when we are well-entertained by other things of the world.

The Greatest Love     By Hoanne Chu        
“For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” (Luke 15:24). God does not rejoice in the fall of any of His children. In fact, he is always waiting for the return of the prodigal sons and daughters. When you think you have fallen, you must all the more repent and return to God.
