David wasn't even invited to the lineup when Samuel came looking for a king. The Israelites were the fewest of all peoples. And when the Saviour Himself showed up, He picked a donkey over a warhorse. There's a pattern here: none of it looked the way you'd expect God to move. So when a professor from Asbury told us what the 2023 revival there was actually like, it left me with one question: what are we actually asking for when we pray for God to move in Singapore?

Four years ago, when we were deciding whether to get a dog, everyone gave us the same warning: the hardest part is when they finally pass on. 😐 That warning has stayed with me, and it's made me ask a question I don't think the Bible answers as simply as we'd like: will I see my dog in heaven?

Happy Teacher's Day! 🥳 With teachers off on Friday, take the time to send yours a message, tag them below, or just say a prayer for them today. Behind every classroom is a person carrying more than lesson plans, and we asked three educators what actually keeps them going when the passion starts to fade. Their answers came down to three things: purpose, endurance and teachability. Swipe through, then head to the full article for the rest 🍎

Ahead of Teacher's Day, ever wonder if your effort with your students is actually landing? It's a question most teachers never get a real answer to, as students simply move on (and so fast!). 😐 Here's what keeps this teacher going anyway 🐈 th1r.st/ics

God doesn't just want you to know about Him. He wants you to know Him. You can know everything about someone and still not know the person. At Catalyst Conference, Pastor ANDREW YEO pointed to Joshua, who learned to linger in the tent, alone with God, long before he ever led a nation.

Have you come face to face with your brokenness yet? Is there something you're trying to hide from God? 💕 Psalm 32 begins with an assurance: whoever confesses their sins to Him and hides nothing in deceit will be forgiven. But refusal and resistance to admit our sins lead to inward turmoil and agony, wasting us away from the inside out. Yet God's unfailing love is always waiting for us to come clean. Respond to Him while He may still be found, for repentance surely leads to freedom and joy.

Accountability often sounds like monitoring, guilt-tripping... something to dodge rather than desire. But Pastor 🅱️🔠🔠🔠🔠 🔠🔠 argues it's actually the missing link in discipleship: restorative, not punitive.

You might be walking into service today. Maybe it's been a rough week. Maybe you don't feel like lifting your hands or singing the words. Maybe you're tired of feeling like a hypocrite every time you try. Here's the thing: worship was never meant to hinge on how we feel. It's not about the songs, the sound, or the week we've had. It's about glorifying God, whether we feel like it or not. So before you walk in, remember: love is an intentional act of obedience. When you don't feel like worshipping, just worship anyway. He is worthy of it all.

Diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and gastritis as a child, ETHEL NATALIE TEO spent years in wheelchairs and hospital wards with no cure in sight.

What if revival begins with a room full of young people choosing to pray? Last night, 380 youths from 50 churches gathered for the inaugural Youth Day of His Power. 🌼 Together, they worshipped, repented, interceded for Singapore, prayed for the next generation and cried out for the nations. They heard stories of lives transformed, were commissioned to live boldly for Christ and witnessed a beautiful picture of generations blessing one another. The night eventually came to an end. But the invitation didn't. 🙂 May we continue to seek God. Not only at gatherings, but in our homes, schools, workplaces and churches. After all, prayer doesn't end with an event.
