You have probably never heard a sermon on Plato. You have almost certainly never been told, in a small group or a Sunday school class, that the way your church organises its spiritual life owes a significant debt to a fourth-century-BC Athenian who ...

Let's start with the question everyone actually asks: How far is too far? It sounds responsible. You're trying to honour God. You just want to know the rules. But here's the problem: the question itself is the problem. "How far is too far?" is lookin...

Every Christian is in full-time ministry. The teacher. The engineer. The hawker stall owner. The NSF counting down his ORD date. The insurance agent. The stay-at-home parent who hasn't had an uninterrupted conversation in three years.All of them: fu...

The church tells you to "be a light at work." Share your testimony over lunch. Invite your colleagues to Alpha. Leave a devotional on your desk. The message, stated or implied, is that your job matters spiritually to the extent that it gives you acc...

Job wanted answers. After losing his children, his wealth, and his health in a cascade of catastrophe, he had one request. Not restoration. Not revenge. Just an explanation. A reason. Something — anything — that would make the suffering make sense.G...

You worship on Sunday. You work on Monday. And somewhere between the car park and your desk, you become a different person. Not a worse person, necessarily. Just a different one. Sunday-you sings about surrender and trusts God with everything. Monda...

Ask most Christians what the book of Job is about and you'll get some version of the same answer: patience in suffering. Job lost everything, stayed faithful, and God rewarded him in the end. Be like Job. Endure. Wait it out. God has a plan. It's a ...

You've chosen your best photos. You've crafted a bio that's witty without trying too hard. You've set your preferences — distance, age, education, church background if the app allows it. And then you swipe. Left. Left. Right. Left. Right. Each flick...

Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to live a small life. It doesn't happen like that. The cage assembles itself slowly — one avoided conversation, one unchallenged fear, one small compromise at a time — until one day you look around and realise...
