Paving the Wei

Just wanted to share today's quiet time insights from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians...the 7th chapter. The title of the passage says "In Whatever Situation"...which I think the picture below depicts very nicely. In the chapter, Paul wrote that we should live and remain in whatever situation the Lord has assigned, which Paul lay down as a rule in all the churches. This phrase is repeated again in verses 20 and 24...which to me, indicates that Paul really really wants us to do this. This talks to me. Despite the changes, whether we chose the change and things did not work out, or the change is forced on us (company re-org or leadership change which results in a change in our circumstances - financial or occupation), we ought to remain. If the changes is beneficial, great. But if not, then I suppose the command from God is in verse 19, that "keeping God's commands is what counts". We will still rejoice, pray unceasingly and give thanks ...

Just wanted to share the review by Lauren Jones of "Infancy to IC".  Here is the synopsis: Theophilus Huang shares a twenty-year journey of raising children in Singapore’s highly competitive education system, offering parents practical, stage-by-stage guidance from infancy to university admission. Blending personal experience with lessons from global success stories, Huang shows how resilience, discipline, and grit—not just talent—shape achievement. More than a guide to Imperial College London (plus NUS, NTU and Waseda), this book is about raising children prepared to excel in life. Honest, insightful, and inspiring, it equips parents to nurture potential into lasting success. It is my hope that with the 5-star review, this will encourage other parents to read the book as well (available in e-book). The main purpose for writing this is never to make money (altho' it is nice if I can cover the self-publishing cost) but to tell the story that your kids can be successful, pe...

Sermon by Ps Roland Lee at the Faith Community Baptist Church on 16 May 2026.  Background: God wants us to be succesful...that we will always be ath the top, not at the bottom. If we meditate on the book of the law, God promises us that we will be prosperous and successful. Success is to know our purpose, growing into our maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefits others. Bur do we need to compromise our principles to be successful?  Scripture:  Daniel was made the 3rd highest ruler in the empire of Darius and Cyrus the Persian, after brought into captivity to serve Babylon. In the Bible, Babylon is the religious, social, political and economic system that has yet to know God. Daniel did not compromise - true success is not measured by how high we rise, but how faithful we are to God. How to be successful without compromising our faith? 1. Be princpled in our conduct We need to have a moral rule and belief that helps us tell what is right and guide pir a...

Sermon by Snr Ps Daniel Khong at the Faith Community Baptist Church May 9, 2026. Continuation of the Jan 2026 message entitled Riding the Fresh Winds of God. The scripture is from the 2nd book of Acts where there is a rushing mighty wind in thw day of Pentecost. This wind transformed the church. To transform the present church let's do the following: lead 1 person to God, read 2 books of the Bible, and pray 3 hours per week.  What will the fresh wind  of God lead us to? 1. A journey of change by God The fresh winds God came about after a long time when thebPharoah has forgotten about Joseph. He enslaved the Israelites. God did not move for an extended time...even when Moses approached God, he is 80. But God initiated the change. 2. A journey of faith in God When God brings change, there will be challenges. We have to trust and depend on God. Even after Moses told the elders and they believed, things did not go to plan. Pharaoh added more harsh labour to the people ...

Sermon by Senior Pastor Daniel Khong at. the Faith Community Baptist Church 2 May 2026. Background: since we have been made new, we must live in love to others. The home is the ultinate arena (wheee gladiators fight), where love is most tested, and most gloriously displayed. Scripture: Ephesians 6:1-4 is an istruction for children, and parents and tells us of how the gospel changes our lives. This is especially on how to relate to one another.   How can we practise love in our family? 1. Pray for one another We need to understand how prayer affects our families. There is spiritual powers so we must parent from a spiritual perspective, which most lack as our lives get busy doing physical parenting. Paul commands us to pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayer and requests and for all God's peoples. 2. Serve one another Parents serve therr children - feeding them, teaching them, spending time with them. Prayer covers the spiritual element, while serving covers the ...

Life is unfair...but it can never rob usbof God's truths.  Sermon by Ps Roland Lee at FCBC at 24 Apr 2026. Uncertainty is the only certainty, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only securrity.  Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 talks about how God is for us, no matter what troubles we go through. Paul is convinced that nothing (not worries or fears, nor powers of hell, power in the sky or in the earth below) can separate us from the love of God. He will always be "with us". What are we promised when God is with us? 1. Our identity is secure We often compare ourselves with others (who are better) when we are unsure of our identity in God. Identity = depends on who or what defines you believe in it. If we depend on the value system of the world, it will be unfair.  But God's truth defines identity isbour relationship with God thru Christ. We are therefore worth the price that was paid by God - Jesus himself. I am chosen, justified and accepted by God thur Christ Jes...
