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.

The Sweet Psalmist of Israel     By Hain-Lee Hsueh        
Day to day, we may study diligently and work tirelessly hoping to be remembered by some small but lasting contribution to the world. However, in the end, how and by whom will we be remembered?

Hearts Hardened Towards Loaves     By Hain-Lee Hsueh        
In Romans 1:20-21, Paul writes that we have no excuse not to glorify and be thankful to God. The ordinary everyday things—daily provision, protection, and safety—manifest God's greatness just as much as the extraordinary.

Music to the Lord     By Hain-Lee Hsueh

It is human tendency to want to feel settled. In our spiritual walk however, to sit back and relax in complacency will not get us closer to God. We need to actively seek out the weaknesses inside of ourselves and engage in perpetual battle to improve ourselves.

Where Do We Stand?     By Hain-Lee Hsueh        
"And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked . . ." Joshua knew he had a mission to conquer Jericho, a decadent city of sin. What do we see when confronted with the Jerichos of our lives?

When the Going Is Good     By Hain-Lee Hsueh        
Reaching out to God in times of trouble is pretty natural. But what about the period in between, after our problems are resolved and before the next hardship comes our way?

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.

Workers' Self-examination     By FF Chong
