Talk about Life, Testimony, Truth Monthly

Author: Ancy Lee Translator: Pius Lee I was born in Vietnam with five siblings. I am a second generation immigrant. Therefore we were a busy household of eight. We lived in ChoLớn, South Vietnam. It is a city of Chinese immigrants. During the 60’s and early 70’s Vietnam had experienced many big and small fierce civil battles between the North and the South.

The Eternal Meaning Behind Thanksgiving

Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

Author: Timothy Tin Translator: Mandy Kwan When people think of Thanksgiving, we often think of the bountiful feast with turkey and other dishes. How often do people remember the treacherous journey of the Puritans, who came upon the shores of North America on the Mayflowerand their harrowing experience as they settled upon Provincetown, Massachusetts? In fact, the significance of these first settlers point to something far more eternal and transcendent than just this annual American tradition. The Puritans were a small group of sojourners, in search of religious freedom, risked their lives and left their homeland to arrive on the American shores. They had not expected that this journey

Sharing The Gospel – In 3 Minutes Or Less

Evangelism Tips, Truth Monthly

PAUL CARTER I recently asked a room full of Christian leaders to share the Gospel as they would to a 10 year old child 3 minutes before they fell asleep. Then I asked them to share the Gospel as they would to a complete stranger on the subway who was getting off at the next stop. The results were a little disappointing to everyone involved. Most of us prefer to warm up to such things. Most of us would rather share the Gospel gradually, in snips and bits, over an extended period, within a safe and stable relational context. In general, I think that is a reasonable way

Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

By Pastor Peter Lau “Transform the workplace? Kidding? I couldn’t even SURVIVE!” It is the usual response I get when conversing with workplace Christians about bringing their faith to work. It’s NO kidding! Since the pandemic, we have all struggled with survival mode in our work. The Challenges of Work Recent research findings confirmed how difficult it is to survive work nowadays: Remote work has blurred the boundaries between work and private life, causing employees to prolong work hours to answer calls or emails, contributing to digital burnout.1 2 Technological advancements such as AI and automation, which result in shorter skill lifespans and the emergence of new occupations,

How to Feed Gen Z’s Hunger for Jesus

Generation Z, Truth Monthly

Reprinting copy @ TGC, 2023 By KYLE RICHTER & PATRICK MILLER God’s Spirit is moving in the hearts and minds of Gen Z. College ministries and churches across the country have seen the impossible become reality: weekly gatherings and small groups bursting at the seams. In less than a year, our college ministry’s weekly attendance doubled in size. It seems to us the Holy Spirit is priming young adults to be more spiritually hungry than previous generations. Our awareness of these generational hungers led us to recalibrate how we evangelize and disciple Gen Z. While those efforts cannot entirely account for the spiritual renewal we’re seeing—that’s God’s work,

A Time for Resilience

Generation Z, Truth Monthly

By Dr. Puiwing Wong The Angus Reid Institute’s new year survey reports that young adults are twice as likely than the general population to expect greater stress in 2024. The President of Angus Reid noted that, unlike what he had seen for many years, the current subgroup of young adults “is not only most pessimistic about their financial situation but, concerningly, their stress levels”[1]. This corroborates the warning from The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health that there is a growing mental health crisis, especially among young people, and the problem is global[2]. Unhealthy use of social media has been identified as a major cause[3]. Disruptions from the

Part 1 By Rev. Dr. Terence Lau, Zion Alliance Church On the Road to Emmaus 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.  27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.  28 As they approached the village to which they were going,
