Our mental health appears to be under siege now maybe more than at any time before. In particular, the use of social media and its links to depression, anxiety, stress, cyber-bullying and body image concerns is troubling. What is the impact of social media on how we see ourselves?
I believe that youths are the future of our nation. It is therefore my mission to love and walk with them.

Does making a game replayable inherently make them addictive?
I am a working mother with two young children, both under the age of five. I rely on a helper and my mother-in-law to watch my children while I’m at work. I have always wanted to be a stay-at-home-mum. However, my husband feels that it is better for me to work so that we can have two incomes, though I would rather make the financial sacrifices to be at home. He grew up with a working mother and thinks that all women should work unless there is no help at home. I am frustrated because he does not understand my desire to watch my young children grow up and thinks I should be thankful to have help. I also do not agree with the way my mother-in-law manages my helper and children. As a result, I end up arguing with my husband. How do I get him to see my point of view? ~ wannabeSAHM
Almost overnight, the lives of Ms Crystal Goh, 38, and Ms Emily Lim-Leh, 53, changed because of spasmodic dysphonia (SD), a rare neurological condition. This condition, in which the muscles of the voice box spasm involuntarily, causes a person’s voice to break or have a strained sound. People with SD have little control over their voices and therefore lose a critical means of communication.
We live in a culture which, despite its obsessive preoccupation with identity, is suffering from an acute case of identity crisis. In this chaos and confusion about identities that plague the postmodern world, how are Christians to think of their own identity?
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ~ Galatians 3:28 (NIV)
This year, as The Methodist Church of Singapore celebrates its 140 years in Singapore, Methodist Message (MM) collated a selection of my over 200 articles into a book entitled Restoration. Among the congratulatory messages received when the book was published, there was one unusual comment.
I have been married for five years now and my husband is a backslidden Christian. In the last one to two years, we have drifted apart as he is a ride-hailing driver and works during the night when I am asleep. We are no longer a couple but more like friends. We are headed towards divorce if this continues as he has no intention for any counselling or does not seem to want to work on the marriage. What should I do? ~ Confused
