A New Hope
By Edna Ho, Malaysia Many things have happened around me lately. Most of them have been bad. But amidst all these, I am compelled to still shout, “God is good!” because His goodness never ends. 2012 was a year of ups and downs for me. In the first half of the year, everything was good. [...]

Transient Existence
By Megan Low, Singapore What is permanent? What is certain? What can we be sure of in this temporary phase, this transient existence, this passing reality we call life? If we were to strip away the material things, what sureties would be left behind? When almost everything in this drifting reality is merely an illusion [...]

God’s Lighthouse
The Mission Point Lighthouse was built in 1870 on a peninsula in Northern Michigan to warn ships of sand bars and rocky shores along Lake Michigan. That lighthouse got its name from another kind of lighthouse, a mission church, which was built 31 years earlier.
Is There Anyone Up There?
By Sean Tong, UK “Faith is a torment. It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call.” —Antonius Block in The Seventh Seal (1957 Swedish film, directed by Ingmar Bergman) Ingmar Bergman’s seminal film The Seventh Seal remains a masterpiece of film-making since [...]

Love Is…
By Melisa Manampiring, Indonesia Love is a word that we often hear. Everyone has experienced it. Love is a wonderful thing and everyone wants to love and be loved. Love is a part of human life.

Wait
In an act of impatience, a man in San Francisco, California, tried to beat traffic by swerving around a lane of cars that had come to a stop. However, the lane he pulled into had just been laid with fresh cement, and his Porsche 911 got stuck. This driver paid a high price for his impatience.
It’s Mine, Mine, Mine!
By Sean Tong, UK I was awestruck. Mesmerised. I hadn’t even imagined that it would be this good! After several hours of painful toil in setting everything up to be just right—speaker cables into the tiny terminals, with the surround speakers placed just at the right height, and the amplifier set to do all the [...]

Gifted To Serve
It occurred to me one day that my right foot does all the pedal work when I’m driving my automatic transmission car. It alone works the accelerator and the brake. The left foot is idle. What happens if I decide that to be equitable, my left foot ought to replace my right foot half the time when I am driving? If you have never done so, please don’t try it!
Godspeed!
In 1962, John Glenn made history as the first American to orbit the Earth. As the rocket ascended, ground control said, “Godspeed, John Glenn.” “Godspeed” comes from the expression, “May God prosper you.”
Every Breath You Take
By Alan Humphrey, UK Breathing is incredible, when you stop and think about it. Though I’m no biologist (far too squeamish to be one), I know a few basic things about it: (1) It not only draws in gases that are vital to our survival, it also expels gases that would otherwise poison us. That [...]
