Back to the Battlefield
In the blink of an eye, the summer holidays have come to an end, signifying a new start to the school year. As we re-enter the busyness of routine, it is easy to fall into temptation or neglect our faith. This year, may we not lose sight of our true calling as Christian students.
Let Him Be the Potter
The image of a potter and his clay is closely parallel to the way God works in our lives. God is the potter, that designs and continually shapes us, the clay. But too often we are prideful; we harden our hearts and prefer to live comfortably in our sins. God doesn’t force us to submit, but may we grow to understand that our lives with Him as the potter is the best joy we can ever have.
Purposeful and Persistent Prayer
What do we often pray about? Maybe for good grades, our future career, or perhaps even for a godly spouse. But prayer shouldn’t simply be asking God to fulfil our needs or heart’s desires. Instead, our prayers should ultimately point back to God’s will and glory. I hope we can learn together to pray with purpose and persistence!
Sowing Gospel Seeds
In increasingly secularist society, merely mentioning religion in a conversation seems daunting and awkward enough, let alone evangelising. Despite many misconceptions and fears, God calls Christian teenagers to evangelise. So wherever we are in our life’s contexts, in full reliance to God, let us start sowing gospel seeds.
Now, Not Later
Procrastination. It’s our generation’s infamous struggle. We can’t seem to stop, and it’s frustrating – why does our heart long to indulge in every worldly pleasure out there, instead of doing the tasks we actually need to do? It’s time to face the reality of this sinful habit.
The Hope Amidst Our Loneliness
Despite having easy access to social interactions online and off, our generation faces the major problem of loneliness. In this article, let’s explore how God’s providence links to loneliness, and how He is our source of hope, comfort and strength.
Contentment in the Wilderness
Do you often find yourself complaining about the many little unpleasant things that happen in your life? Whenever something doesn’t go our way, our first impulse is to complain. However, we both should and can choose gratitude, and practise giving thanks even in our teenage years.
