LIM AH PIN CHURCH OF CHRIST

1 September 2026 marked 10 years in my service as a full-time preacher for the church of Christ at Lim Ah Pin Road (LAPCOC). How time flies, it seemed like only yesterday that I had just stepped into this role. As I reflect on the decade past, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for all who have been part of my personal journey. 1. I am thankful for my wife and children In the beginning, God saw that it was not good for the man to be alone, and so He created

During this Teachers’ Day, I would like to reflect on the important role that teachers play in the church. I thank God for all the Bible class teachers in the church. In Hosea 4:6, God says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” It is a sobering reminder that ignorance of God’s truth is not harmless. In Hosea’s time, the people were suffering because the priests and scribes had failed in their sacred duty to teach and guide them in God’s Law. This resulted in i

“No matter what yesterday was like, birds always start the new day with a song. May your heart sing with hope and your spirit soar with joy!” These words, shared from the heart of a sister who has weathered many storms, speak volumes about the grace and strength that God provides. Whether we are thriving or barely hanging on, whether life feels like a mountain top or a slow trudge through the valley, God remains faithful. Many of us, especially sisters juggling the demands of

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, KJV) Solomon wrote that a long time before pickleball came along, but every time I step on the court with my wife Precious as my doubles partner, I understand what he meant a little more. We did not start out playing pickleball. Precious and I

In 2 Samuel 23:8-13, we read an interesting account concerning David’s 3 mighty men. Their names were Adino, Eleazar, and Shammah. The Scriptures record their acts of bravery and might. In particular, there was something incredible that they did for their king. In 2 Samuel 23:15-17, we read that David was thirsty and desirous for a drink from the well at Bethlehem. Unfortunately, during that time, Bethlehem was in the hands of the Philistines. To fulfil David’s desire, his 3

In 2017, I had the opportunity to travel to Uganda, Africa, with my colleagues in business. The mission work was organised through a denominational group. At that time, I was still relatively unfamiliar with the scope of global evangelism. The trip was truly an eye-opening experience. Coming from Singapore and the Philippines, I had never fully realised how diverse the world is and how many communities remain spiritually under-served. As we visited different places and met pe

Today, it is not always clear what most people mean when they use the term “quality time”. Sometimes, parents may use the phrase to make themselves feel better when time with their children is in short supply. Yet children do not only need occasional moments fitted into our schedules. They need the steady presence, attention and guidance of their parents. Ronald Levant, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School, once observed that “quality time” can sometimes become a way of

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." — Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV) If there is one thing that the past few years have taught us, it is that life is full of uncertainty. Even in Singapore, uncertainty has become part of everyday life. The cost of living continues to rise. Electricity bills, groceries, and transport fares are more expensive than they used to be. Companies res

After 27 years of being off the shelves, pig blood products have made a comeback to supermarkets and restaurants in Singapore. Animal blood food products had previously been prohibited in Singapore due to the 1999 Nipah virus outbreak. With the comeback of such food, what should be the Christian response? Can we eat such? Symbolism of Blood Under the Law of Moses, the Israelites were prohibited from eating blood. They were warned that those who ate blood would be cut off from
