I can’t seem to end my affair
I have surprised myself by having a relationship with someone outside my marriage. I have tried to stop it but somehow it keeps continuing and sometimes I even feel that I have stopped loving my spouse. But my children are very dear to me, and I don’t know how they can manage all of these.
The restorative power of worship
The world is currently facing urgent challenges related to inequality, poverty, discrimination, and fractured families. Amid these difficulties, we have a responsibility to fully understand and tackle the complex issues affecting our communities.
A more hands-on husband in the home please
I wish my husband was more hands- on in the home. We both work outside the home, but meal planning and household chores always fall on me. I’m not sure how it came to be like this, but I suppose I had always taken on this responsibility before the kids arrived. I have voiced my frustration, but his efforts are never consistent or sustained. What should I do?
Loving God’s Word
The Psalmist’s love for God’s written Word was shared by Methodism’s founder, John Wesley, who wrote, “Let me be homo unius libri” (Aquinas’ Latin phrase for “a person of one book”). Wesley was referring to the Bible, the written Word of God.
How can I honour my mother who is trying to end my relationship with my fiancé?
My partner and I are in our mid-20s. We have been together for five years and are certain of our commitment to marry. My mom has made the wedding planning process a nightmare and eventually got us to cancel the wedding. Our relationship took a huge hit but we are working on it. My mom has overstepped her boundaries and undermined our decisions multiple times, even going to extreme ways like physically hurting herself. How do I draw the boundaries with my non-Christian mom and go ahead with our decision to get married?
Which scoundrel is beside you?
The biblical account of Jesus hanging on the cross, a cruel instrument of capital punishment the Roman Empire reserved for its worst criminals, tells of two others who were being crucified beside him. One of the criminals cried out to Jesus for mercy and forgiveness.
Studying the Word changed my life
I accepted Christ in my teenage years through the Girls’ Brigade and have been a Kampong Kapor Methodist Church member since 2019. To me, being a Methodist means being connected to a broader group of churches committed to making disciples of Christ: disciples who, being saved through God’s grace, bear testimony through pursuing holiness in all areas of their life. After all, as Wesley wrote, a Methodist is “one who lives according to the method laid down in the Bible”.
Should I blow the whistle on a colleague who trusts me?
My colleague was unhappy that I reported an error which occurred to my bosses. As per protocol, this involved listing the names of all of the personnel involved in the incident. He later confessed to me over text that he had not been reporting such incidents to my bosses due to fear of negative repercussions. I feel that this is not the right thing to do. Should I blow the whistle on this colleague to my supervisor?
A timeless purpose, her lasting legacy
Over two decades ago, Winnie Tan’s mentors shared this Bible verse with her when she first embarked on her journey as a teaching assistant at Charis Student Care Centre, now known as MWS Christalite Student Care Centre. Little did she know that this verse would become the beacon for her 23-year journey.
