    Essence of Death

    By Julian Abraham Chua, 20, Singapore Death is often associated with the idea of losing. It is especially harder to swallow when it occurs to someone who passes on at a young age. From the perception of the living, it is often a waste to go so young when life has just begun. It is [...]

    From Icky Insects to our Great God

    By Megan Low, Australia   On my way to church yesterday, I spotted a worm dangling from a tree. I watched it as I approached and saw that it was slowly climbing up the invisible thread that it had produced. At first I was laughing at it. For the worm was no bigger than three-quarters [...]

    Goodbye

    By Debra Ayis, Nigeria Tears fill my eyes In this world of goodbyes As I look down this rugged cliff. Years have passed When to this cliff I cleaved As the water hits jagged rocks My life seems to have reached its dock This pen seems my only solace In a life once filled with [...]

    Your Love

    By Megan Low, Australia How boundless is Your love, O Lord! Vast as eternity Unfailing as the oceans tides that wave from sea to sea.

    Going Forward or Backward?

    By Ruth Lawrence, UK Thessalonica was the capital of Roman Macedonia and set along an important trade route. In this city was a hive of activities—activities that were considered normal by the pagans but to be avoided by the Thessalonian Christians. By living in this counter-cultural way they would have stood out in sharp contrast [...]

    The truth will set you free

    By Jude Dias, 20, Sri Lanka I was so excited when I bought a new Bible for myself. For years, our family shared a common Bible. Since it was used by all of us, it is old and discolored. But no matter how old it got, the words in the Book remained forever unchanged. Nevertheless, [...]

    Chopsticks and Failure

    By Ian Gustafson, 19, USA I grew up in the United States but for now I’m spending some time in Asia. When in a different culture, there are always adjustments to be made. There are things to get used to, new things to try, and some old things to go without. Naturally, when you’re a [...]

    By Joshua Ochefu, Nigeria You alone came down from heaven You alone were born in a stable You alone stayed at the temple Oh, lonely man You alone turned water into wine You alone calmed the stormy sea You alone healed not a few You alone, oh my Savior You alone were burdened with sorrows [...]

    Forget Me Not

    By Tracy Phua, 22, Singapore On my most recent trip to Nepal, I visited a village school that a Nepalese friend of mine helped to start up. Upon arrival, I was greeted by toothy grins and cheeky looks from the 72 students. It was definitely love at first garland as they piled never-ending heaps of [...]
