Pushing back the Darkness: Advancing God’s Kingdom in our Work

Testimony, Truth Monthly

Reprint permission © Lausanne Movement/24 Jul 2024 By Vinoth Ramachandra Kingdom Impact in Every Sphere of Society Jesus began his public ministry in Galilee with these words, ‘The time has come, the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!’(Mark 1:15). The phrase ‘the kingdom of God’ appears on the lips of Jesus more often than any other. In the synoptic gospels Matthew, Mark and Luke, it appears 104 times. If we look at comparable expressions, for instance, the word ‘faith’ or ‘believe’ appears only 70 times on the lips of Jesus, the word ‘love’ 36 times, and ‘the Holy Spirit’ 35 times. So all

Gospel Fluency in a World of Skepticism

Generation Z, Truth Monthly

Reprint permission © Lausanne Movement 09 May 2025 By Dr. Desmond Henry In every generation, the church is called to rediscover the gospel—not because its message has changed, but because the world around us has. Today, we find ourselves in a cultural moment marked by rising secularism, post-truth narratives, and profound spiritual confusion. Evangelism now requires more nuance, discernment, and courage than ever before. Yet amidst the complexity, the mandate of Jesus remains unwavering: ‘Go and make disciples of all nations’ (Matt 28:19). As I’ve written before, imagine a future where the radiant ideals of the Great Commission and the Great Commandment shape our global reality—where the passions

Luke 2:1-20; focus 2:14 By Pastor Richard Choy  Luke 2 presents us with the beautiful and uplifting story of Christmas. In the opening verses, we read that Caesar had decreed that every person in the Roman Empire go to their ancestral town to register. Among those travelling was a couple named Mary and Joseph, who went to their forebears’ town to register. While there, Mary, who was expecting a baby, gave birth to her firstborn. She wrapped the baby in cloths and laid him in a manger. Shortly after that, an angel appears to the shepherds nearby, announcing the baby’s birth and explaining to them the meaning of

Can I Forgive Someone If They Don’t Ask for Forgiveness?

Good Questions, Truth Monthly

——Yes, because it is the mark of a great and clement soul to pardon an offence Wyatt Graham Christians sometimes debate whether we can forgive someone who does not ask for forgiveness. Many reasonably infer that if God forgives only those who seek his mercy, why would we hold to a different standard? Others stress God’s forbearance, namely, his mercy in passing over sins because of the cross. They point out that love covers a multitude of sins (1 Pet. 4:8). The two sides often talk past each other. I believe the reason lies in a loss of moral categories. As Alasdair MacIntyre observed, we still use the language of

Your Answer to Jesus’ One Question Defines Your Life

Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

By Joanna Ng Imagine this: A young man walks through the mall, holding hands with his fiancée. Suddenly, they encounter several of his old colleagues. Caught off guard and awkward when asked to introduce the woman beside him, he hesitates and replies, “Oh… this is my sister.” In that moment, he denies his love for his loved one and invalidates their relationship. One day, Jesus asked His disciples. Matthew 16:15-16, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” The disciples’ answers were cautious. “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” They avoided their declaration of Jesus’ place

【Interesting Adventures】Cherish Your Loved Ones

Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

Author: Ancy Lee Translator: Pius Lee In recent days, I entertained special nostalgia about several members of my family. Hereafter, allow me to share them. Boldly pray for grandpa In the February issue titled “Mom braved the oceans to seek her parents”, I mentioned the anecdote that I prayed at my grandfather’s hospital bed for his healing. It was unthinkable that it was both my second and last opportunity to see him. My mind still had a clear and vivid recollection of his aged, frail, slim, and pale face accentuated by his sophisticated spectacle’s golden frame. Nonetheless, I am grateful that I am privileged to grab hold of
