Plan but don’t depend on the plan
Lately, as I journey life with younger Christians, I tell them to plan but don’t depend so much on the plan. Whether it is finding a relationship, getting married, or having kids, finding the right job or making more money, it is easy to assume that we got these things will make us happier, safer, […]
To be used by God
As Christians, we wanted to be used by God. There is nothing with that. In fact, that is a healthy desire. After all, we want to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness as Jesus said in Matthew 6:33. The problem is not having this desire, it is then we set our own plans […]
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: Biblical Parenthood to disciple the next Generation

As I am working on my thesis for my M Div, I started to think about being a father. One thing that dawned on my mind when I first step into fatherhood, especially when it comes to discipling our children, is that I realized I couldn’t do it. Or I don’t think I can. I […]
Dismount and push
In Singapore, they built paved paths known as PCN (Park Connectors). As the name implies, it connects from one park to another. This is great because you can cycle, blade or run between parks. Earlier this week I was exploring a route from Bishan down to Marina Bay Sands. It was fun exploring and riding […]
you should only speak truth about the gospel?!?
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 […]
