Sing, Play, Shout!
By Eugene Seah, 23, Singapore “Sing to him a new song; play skilfully, and shout for joy.” —Psalm 33:3 (NIV) Have you ever felt nervous during praise and worship?

Kingdom Pieties: Praying
By Lydia Lee Growing up in church, my friends and I used to do the naughtiest things during service. We would time our pastor when he prayed, anticipating if he would break last week’s record!
