The Greatest Gift from God

"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."

The Meaning of Ressurection

As Christians, Easter holds profound significance as it celebrates the central event of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without the resurrection, our faith would be in vain, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:14. - And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.

As we reflect on the resurrection, here are three important meanings to consider…

3 PROMISES: To Early Childhood Educators and Leaders

At the turning of the year, as a new year begins, I find it always good to re-read again this short passage from Genesis 8. This is God’s special covenant promise to Noah and to all life on earth. Some say it is one of the first expressions of an eternal covenant promise in the Bible.

LOVING TRULY: Avoiding the Entitlement Trap in Preschoolers

A sense of entitlement among Singaporeans is not only real, it is growing in our culture today. Parents lament that children expect so much and when real life doesn’t meet expectations, the children feel anger and resentment. For such children, offenses come quickly. Instead of compassion, it is easy to be arrogant and see others as lesser beings. It is difficult for entitled children to forgive and easy to hold grudges and make exception for their own behaviours.

Raising Daniel (Part 1)

It is easy to create an idol out of the promises of an educational system meant for good. Rather than focusing on our children’s individual strength & instilling confidence in God & His promises to unlock their potential in His time, societies’ narrow definition of success can become an idol & rob children of the joy of lifelong learning. But we can be encouraged to resist them like Daniel’s friends…

Back To School! Telling the Goodness of God

As we approach the turning of the year again, it seems like we have come back to where we were a year ago! 2021 started so propitiously – vaccines arrived in Jan; & numbers decreased; 8 persons could dine together. Then came the Delta variant in May, & now, with the appearing of the Omicron variant, the days ahead look bleak. As we come to the end of this year, it is a good time to pause for just a while & consider God’s words to us…

Little Ones: Lost and Found

The Christian Preschool Ministry is near collapsing. Today, due to commercialism, competition and complacency, approximately 80 church-based preschools closed their doors in the past 8 years. Against the backdrop of a more secular society, children are introduced to world views that contradicts the bible. We have a crisis. What will the next generation be like?

“Our biggest joy is when the children are walking in the Lord”: Faithful preschool teachers who have shaped thousands

When Pauline Chia walked into Faith Kindergarten to start her new job, she wasn’t expecting to recognise anyone. And she didn’t. Pauline joined Faith Kindergarten as a teacher in December 2005 – exactly 30 years after she left as a child. And the teacher who held her hand as a child became her mentor as an adult.
