Only One Life
The above song “Only One Life” (as composed by Lanny Wolfe in 1973) was inspired by the poem that Charles Thomas Studd (1860-1931) wrote. C. T. Studd is a member of the so-called Cambridge Seven who gave their lives to Christ and His missions. May its timeless message and perspective resonates in our hearts daily. Read and ponder the poem:
“Only One Life” by C. T. Studd
Two little lines I heard one day,
Traveling along life’s busy way;
Bringing conviction to my heart,
And from my mind would not depart;
Only one life, twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Will You Simply Walk Away?
This article looks back on one hand, to the beginning of time at a “most horrible and depressing day” and on the other hand, to the fulfillment of God’s promises which is the good news. Written by Dr Mona Bias, a resident faculty in biblical studies at East Asia School of Theology, it is meant to make us contemplate our relationship with the living God during this Lent season.
The 40 days of Lent 2025 begins on 5 March, Ash Wednesday and ends on 17 April, Maundy Thursday. This is then followed by Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Resurrection Sunday. Traditionally, and during this season, Christians around the world commemorate the events leading up to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. As such it is a time for self-examination and spiritual inventory accompanied by prayer, fasting, repentance, and giving.
The Fulfillment of Ancient Promises – Tetélestai
Tetélestai is a Greek term from the word teleo, which can mean “to fulfill,” “to complete,” “to end.” In the context of John 19:30, tetélestai means “it is completed” or “it is paid in full.” What is completed or paid in full? Kindly read on to find the answer to this important question.
True Blessings for Our New Life, Not Just the New Year
True Blessings for our New Life, not just the New Year:
On The Beatitudes or 《八福》 “Eight Blessings” of Matthew 5:3-11
There are so many subjective ideas of what blessings are.
Will this be a blessed year? It has started on an ominous note as the world reels from the threats of new tariffs every day. Some may attribute this shaky start to a snaky year.
If, however, we don’t believe in an almanac or a zodiac, for blessings, where and how are we to be endowed with them?
