A Voice In The Wilderness

In the wilderness, I look around and see nothing. So I look inside but see terror. Then, I look up and see beauty.

Sip or Slip: Navigating the Drinking Culture as a Christian

Sip or Slip: Navigating the Drinking Culture as a Christian I’ve noticed something rather interesting in many modern Korean dramas. You don’t have to watch too many episodes before you see people drinking — and a lot of it. Friends entering legal age for drinking gather for their “first drink” to celebrate their coming of age. Colleagues go out for drinks after work, hopping from one bar to another to unwind. People drink when they’re happy, and they also drink when they’re sad. Drinking is portrayed as a way of life — almost like breathing. It is the social lubricant that keeps relationships flowing. In these dramas, even drunkenness is often made to look funny, endearing, or harmless. Everyone laughs off the scene of someone stumbling home drunk or pouring their heart out under the influence. But beneath the laughter lies something worth thinking about. The Worldly Spirit behind Drinking In today’s world, drinking often carries symbolic meaning beyond the act itself. ...

“Touch, Temptation & Truth: Navigating Massage Culture as a Christian

Touch, Temptation & Truth: Navigating Massage Culture as a Christian When I was serving my National Service, we would sometimes go for overseas trainings. These trips often ended with a few days of R&R – Rest and Relaxation. I remember one particular evening when a group of my army mates quickly gulped down their dinner and slipped out of the restaurant in a rather sheepish manner. Curious, I followed them, wondering what exciting adventure awaited. It didn’t take long before I realised where they were heading — to a row of poorly lit “massage parlours”, and the atmosphere was heavy with suggestion. Instinctively, I made a quick U-turn and walked away. Later, I found out that these parlours offered more than massages; they offered sexual services, the so-called “happy endings.” During my reservist days, I saw the same thing happening. It was almost an unspoken norm for some reservist men (married included!) to frequent such places during overseas R&R. It became so c...

Don't Waste Your Sickness

So often when we fall ill, our natural instinct is to pursue healing. Our minds are pre-occupied with wanting to recover as soon as possible. However we fail to pause and consider what the Lord may be saying to us and risk wasting the sickness altogether. My appeal is that even as we pursue recovery, let us also take time to seek the Lord and discern the cause(s) of our sickness so that we can pray more appropriately for healing. 1. Careless Living It is a known fact that the lack of balanced diet and exercise will lead to several physical ailments. Our physical body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19); and we are to glorify Him with our body. Glorifying God with our body includes being good stewards of our body. Observing a balanced diet and having a healthy dose of exercise will help us prevent chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure. Observing Sabbath rest also allows the body to be renewed and refreshed. If we have been guilty of careless living, we need t...
