LIM AH PIN CHURCH OF CHRIST

Recently, I had the privilege to learn more about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Last month, I attended a 2-day AI course organized by SMU academy, and also, during the Four Seas Lectureship, bro Jonathan Burns delivered an insightful lesson about using AI in our Bible study. In both sessions, I have learnt a similar takeaway: AI may be powerful, but we need to be wary of the potential pitfalls. In using AI chatbots (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity etc.), we have the power to

As we approach the end of the year, we catch up with sis Seow Hui, a mother of 3 kids who busies herself with doing the Lord’s work. Read on to find out more about her Christian journey, and her continued contribution in different areas of the church while balancing family and work.  Michelle: For a start, could you tell me more about yourself?  Seow Hui: To be honest, it's hard for me to describe a typical day as there have been many changes in our lives recently, especially

The year was 2002, in the month of December. I was 11 years old. We were having a Gospel Meeting at a hotel. I can’t even remember which hotel it was. I can’t even remember the name of the American speaker, neither can I recall the topic that was preached. But I do remember that this particular gospel moved me to be baptized 1 month later. A person cannot be converted in one night… do Gospel Meetings work? The Philippian jailor was converted in one night (Acts 16:25-33). Howe

It is often said that distance makes the heart grow fonder. After spending my first two years of married life separated by the Pacific Ocean and then some, I feel that this is a rather unique experience that I have learned and strengthened my faith from. Long-distance marriages symbolize a profound commitment challenged by physical separation, communication barriers, and emotional longing. Through struggling through and overcoming these challenges together with my wife, Farah

When we pass on from this life into eternity, will we know our fellow Christians who have passed on before us? Will I know my family members who were so dear to me in this life? I believe the Scriptures say “Yes.” 1. Death – In Genesis 25:8 – “Then Abraham gave up the ghost, …. was gathered to his people .” The phrase “gathered to his people” is also used in Genesis 25:17, Genesis 49:29 & 33, Deuteronomy 32:50. Coffman commentary - “It denotes the reunion in Sheol (Hades) wi

I love seeing our hamster Niku enthusiastically dash out of his burrow during feeding time. There is so much pleasure watching him hold a treat between his tiny paws, chewing and chomping with zest. I know I’m not the only one who enjoys watching little animals nom; a booming business is built around animal feeding in zoos and farms.  Parents whose young children eat well are blessed, as those with picky eaters might say. After all, eating is what we are naturally meant to do

Is it a good thing to have a parent or grandparent who is faithful to God? Surely, this would be an ideal household for a child to grow up in. From a child, the child would be taught to know and apply the Scriptures, just as Timothy was taught the Scriptures from the time he was a child (cf. 2 Timothy 3:15; 1:5). From a child, the child would be “trained up in the way he should go” (cf. Proverbs 22:6). However, we must be careful not to fall into the trap of thinking that the

In just over two weeks’ time, we will have our yearly gospel meeting based on the theme “Are You Sure?”  Much work has gone on behind the scenes to plan the topics, coordinate with the speakers. The speakers themselves have diligently prepared their lessons, and they will soon be flying halfway around the world to speak to us from 27 to 29 November. Much work has already been done – but so much more remains for us to do! Are You Sure…  that you will be joining us for the gosp

“As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man” (Proverbs 27:19 ESV) The surface of the water projects the reflection of the face. Similarly, the man projects what’s in the heart. In other words, what we see in the man tells us what is in the heart. That is the lesson from Proverbs 27:19. What wisdom can we learn from this interesting proverb? 1. Can we see what’s in the heart? a)  Man sees the face; God sees the heart. Sometimes, outward appearances ca
