What does it mean to be salt and light?

✨

"The thing about salt and light is that their influence is not based on what they say or do, but simply by being who they are. Salt works by being present, light works by being there. It’s their distinctiveness that makes them special.

"So your presence, wherever God placed you, makes a difference," says Senior Pastor Benny Ho of Faith Community Church.

As a younger Christian, how should I be managing my money?

Singaporean Gen Z on surviving childhood cancer thrice

💪

Running around, playing catching, and football were what most kids my age were doing. But my childhood was spent getting poked by needles and going in and out of the hospital for chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions.

I had always felt crippled and constrained, until a special day came when I discovered true freedom.

5 people in the Bible who teach us patience

Is loneliness addictive? 🥳

Since trying to be with people was so uncertain, difficult and painful – I figured it was much easier to be by myself.

I felt like I just did not fit in, and it was easier to just stay in my own bubble. But the thing is, our bubbles work until they don’t.

Where have all my church friends gone?

🗽

I went to look at old cell group photos, and realised that many members have already left the church – and even the faith.

These were the people who chided me when I chose to skip cell group for no good reason. They pursued me when I was on the slippery slope of falling out of church. They championed evangelical events and got me involved even in the busiest of exam seasons.

We used to run the race together. Now I look around and they’re no longer here with me.
