Righteousness Exalteth a Nation

A nation where justice reigns, where there is righteous administration of the government, where law is upheld and order prevails, receives God’s favour. God exalts such a nation (Prov. 14:34).

In the past week, the nation mourns the death of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, architect of modern Singapore. Mr Lee Kuan Yew once said, “I’m very determined. If I decide that something is worth doing, then I’ll put my heart and souls to it. The whole ground can be against me, but if I know it is right, I’ll do it. That’s the business of a leader.”

Our late principal of the Far Eastern Bible College, the late Rev. Dr. Timothy Tow taught us, “Singapore law is taken from Indian law and Indian law from British law and British law from Roman law and Roman law from God’s laws as recorded by Moses in the Holy Scriptures.” Broadly speaking, that’s the basis for the Singapore constitution that is worth our defending.

The Role of Parents in a Christian Home (Part 2)

An exemplary father was recorded in the person of Job who prayed continually for his children, “And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually” (Job 1:5).

Pray and Faint Not!

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint…

The burdens of life can often be so overwhelming at times that they threaten to rob the believer of his confidence in God’s ability to help him through yet another impasse. This parable by our Lord Jesus in Luke 18:1-8 teaches us the lesson to keep looking to the Lord in such times: “men ought always to pray and not to faint”. Prayer is the believer’s power with God. This parable encourages us to never stop praying even in the toughest of circumstances.
