Editor's Picks

Identity · Life

Dear Kallos: I often feel like I’m not ‘American’ enough for the Americans, and not ‘Singaporean’ enough for the Singaporeans.

Straddling two different cultures and trying to find one’s footing or perhaps you may identify with the term ‘Third Culture Kid’ (or TCK for short), and just feel like you don’t fit in anywhere? KALLOS answers your questions.

Faith

God will not give me more than I can bear … right?

Have you ever told yourself or others to hang in there because God will not give you more than you can handle? SHARYN NG explains why this verse doesn’t mean what you think!

Faith · Restoration

Where were You when I needed You, God?

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deut 31:8) 

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Ps 118:6)

Faith · Music

Christian music became my idol

Growing up in a family of musicians, I have always been a music nerd. But as I immerse myself in music, not all of it is entirely godly. Some of these songs feature explicit lyrics, or cover dark themes. As a result, I once decided to challenge myself to only listen to Christian music and no secular songs for two months. I did this because I wanted to center myself in godliness and honour God with the songs I consume.

Doubt · Faith

Is it OK to doubt God?

When you have doubts about God and His word, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. JACKIE HWANG digs deeper into how we can wrestle with our doubts in a healthy way.

Faith · Identity

Struggles of a second-gen Christian

As a second generation Christian, QUEK SHI YUN always doubted if she was really saved. She thought she needed a big emotional moment of conversion to be a real Christian, until God changed her heart.
