LIM AH PIN CHURCH OF CHRIST

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

(This article is a follow up from my ladies class lesson in June 2025) What is your attitude when reading gossip or reports of celebrities’ wrongdoings?  What about casual lunchtime conversations with colleagues about someone’s faults, mistakes or sins? Have you watched movies or TV dramas that depict themes such as extramarital affairs or cohabitation? I am not suggesting that we should completely avoid having conversations or watching TV. But in engaging in such activities,

Life can be busy. Between work, family responsibilities, appointments, and the many unexpected things that come up in a week, our days often feel full before they’ve even begun. It’s not that we don’t care about others—it’s just that life has a way of pulling us in many directions. Yet in the midst of it all, the Scripture gently reminds us: “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ”  (Galatians 6:2). As a church family, we’re called not just to worship

On 3 October 2025, the Church of England announced that Sarah Mulally would become the first ever female Archbishop of Canterbury – thus...
