Is it unbiblical if the wife earns more than the husband?
As a stay-at-home dad, I am, in a way, at the fringe of what society expects a husband and father to be. The father and husband are known to be the breadwinners and provide for the family. Now, no one has confronted us about this. But once in a while, we can feel a subtle […]
Cliff Talks: X-Factors in Biblical Parenthood
Credentials for Christ?
Disclaimer: I am not writing this because I am bitter or I am judging others. I am writing this to jot down some thoughts I have when it comes to following Jesus. The thoughts may not be complete and often, I am still processing. And that’s okay. It is all about the journey. So if […]
More money do not solve money problems
I shared this with a friend the other day. The solution to money problems is not having more money. “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns […]
Cliff talks: Biblical Parenthood to disciple the next Generation

Earlier this week I was exploring a route from Bishan down to Marina Bay Sands. It was fun exploring and riding […]

Lately, I’ve been hearing that when we speak the truth, it is only meant for preaching the Gospel (talking about Jesus) and not about other matters, like COVID-19. So it is OK if I’m a liar but when it comes to Jesus, I speak the right theology? I’m pretty sure that is not right. Truth […]
Do my strengths make me a good leader?
Earlier this year, I told Wai Jia that I am not sure what my strengths are. A friend recommended I to take the Clifton StrengthsFinder. I’ve taken various personality tests before and those tests didn’t reveal anything surprising about me. However, in this test I felt God gave me insight into what it means to […]
putting Jesus first when it comes to money
This should be a no-brainer, right? That we ought to put Jesus first in everything we do. We are in the process of making a big decision relating to our finances. When it comes to money, the commonsense approach is, how can I make (or keep) as much money as possible? There is a part […]
