Much has been said about the need to reach out to young people, particularly students. We've seen countless discussions, sessions, and talks emphasizing the importance of addressing their needs. Many graduates and elders are eager to contribute their resources to connect with these students. But beyond simply reaching out, there is an even greater need for mentorship. However, are we genuinely taking effective steps to engage and mentor the young people we so often talk about

It is inevitable that the world is moving towards an inclusive community where each individual is valued and regarded regardless of their differences and challenges. A quick Google search defines an inclusive society as "a society that values and accepts the diversity of its members, promotes equal opportunities and rights, and fosters a sense of belonging among all individuals, regardless of their background, identity, or ability." While inclusivity has its positive impacts

“Mind your own business” and “Let them mind theirs” have become lifestyle mantras in today’s selfish, stubborn, and faithless society. This mindset has grown popular because people are tired of unnecessary interference in their lives. And yes, it’s true—there is wisdom in not meddling where we don’t belong. But while it's important not to intrude meaninglessly, it's equally unwise to ignore the wrongs happening around us. Many choose to “mind their own business” even when the

Much has been taught and preached about physical and sexual purity. In fact, throughout the Scripture, we are warned of such physical immorality. The Bible condemns any sexual or physical intimation outside marriage and we Christians believe and follow the Scripture. But what we often do not recognize is the subject or topic of emotional purity. In Proverbs 4:23, Solomon emphatically advises to guard the heart, as everything we do is intricately connected to our emotions. The

Many of us are raised in societies where women are perceived as inferior and are often held responsible for the failures of their husbands and families. Even more troubling, women are frequently blamed for the wrongs committed against them. No matter what they do, they are rarely considered right, while men continue to enjoy superiority and greater privileges. Cultural norms have even justified unequal wages, assuming that women are less capable. In cases of divorce or family

“You will not pass the final exam with this handwriting.” said my teacher. I was in 10 th Standard sitting in the classroom with my classmates when my teacher said those words to me. I felt hopeless, clueless, and useless. I knew I have bad handwriting. I started to question “How in the world would I pass my exam if my teacher has no more hope in me because they know who can and who cannot make it as they are teaching us?”. For the first time in my 12 years (at that year) of

"If others can, why can't you?” is one of the most popular phrases used against students and youngsters. The phrase is indeed very encouraging and helps us boost our capability. However, the question to the phrase can be raised such as, "What if others have the ability I don't have and I have the ability others don't have?".  Each one of us is born with different gifts and purposes. What others can do does not necessarily mean you can do that too. If all of us are born with t

The article is written as a tribute to my beloved sister-in-law, whose husband (my brother) passed away and whose life is an inspiration for me personally to be strong, faithful, and committed. Growing up in a culture where women were seen as inferior and weaker, I was taught to accept this as truth. “God made Adam first and then created Eve only to help him,” the society said. But does this truly reflect God's intention in forming a woman from Adam’s rib? The Bible makes it
