    With the church and state separated, there is a stigma regarding how involved Christians should be in politics.

  • Living in our God encounter

    In 2005, I was at Hillsong Conference. My first ever experience at a conference with thousands of people. I remember the first night as we sang the worship anthem “How Great is our God.” A choir declaring in a stadium the greatness of our God.

  • China’s Social Credit System Will Impact on Religious Freedoms

    China has already partially rolled out the Social Credit System, which is set to be fully implemented by 2020. The program involves an extensive surveillance network to monitor citizens and process what is observed into a social credit rating for individuals, households and businesses.

  • Following the painter

    Instructional videos are everywhere. You can search the internet for DIYs and tutorials on almost anything nowadays; cooking, sewing, workout routines, painting. Some people follow the instructions meticulously, while others make their own adjustments to alter the finished product.
