How Ezekiel Sobered Me Up
Posted on 8 Apr 2023
The common mindset is "Since I'm saved, I can now relax. Do I really have to work on my holiness, study the Word deeply, and proclaim the gospel to those around me? Doesn't God love me just the way I am?"
The book of Ezekiel is a sobering reminder that Israel, the very people of God with God's laws, God's word, and God's presence, took Him and His mercy for granted. They sinned continually, believing themselves saved, and let their desires for comfort, security, and riches take over. They saw how beautiful their life had become, and left behind the one who had given them their beauty.

Saved by God, through God, for God. A Reflection by Chuan Khai
Posted on 29 Jul 2022
‘How can you live the Christian life if you think it’s about you?’ These words from the first sermon came to mind throughout the series and they still do even as it comes to an end. They cut deeply to the heart of someone who was aware of the evil of man-centered theology (a worldview which thinks God exists to please mankind) that was out there, yet was oblivious to the sin within his own heart that wanted to keep his Christian life comfortable and easy.
