Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation. They are mostly original reflections on the Word of God in response to church events or current affairs, local or beyond, with the primary intent to exhort Christians to live rightly before God in the real world. Short bibliographies are sometimes featured towards the same end.
We pray that these writings will be a great blessing to you!

Nutritionists rightly urge us to have a balanced diet. In fact, the diet should be so varied that not only, for instance, should you eat fruits, you should eat different types of fruits. Should a diet lack certain nutrition because our meals are not wholesome, it will cause you to...
The Bible tells us that every person has sinned against God (Rom 3:23). The consequence of sin is death (Rom 6:23). That is the reason why we die and even while we live, we experience also a spiritual death in us: emptiness and a lack of real peace. When you,...
