In Episode 5 of Cross Chat, we talk about dating. With so many stages in modern dating culture, how do we as Christians manoeuvre in this era? We constantly ask "what boundaries can't I cross?" — but what does purity mean to God?

Ann Sze from Faith Methodist Church reflects on her journey and shares the views that resonated with her most. ✨

Chatbots like ChatGPT have become indispensable tools for students across Singapore, helping with everything from essay ideation to concept explanations. But their widespread use raises critical questions about academic integrity and over-reliance on technology.

This month, Chloe Toh (2nd from right) — a health sciences undergraduate in Australia and member of Hakka Methodist Church — speaks with Christian students from local and overseas institutions on how they navigate school AI policies and draw their own personal boundaries with these tools.

With headlines turning towards the escalating conflict in the Middle East, a collective sense of unrest may settle over us. Whether we know someone in the region or are simply heavy-hearted from images of suffering, displacement and mobilisation, war can stir deep anxiety, sadness and helplessness. It is a complex reality.

Yet for the Christian, the tension may feel even more acute when faith and geopolitics collide. How do we respond when the world draws lines in the sand? How do we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Prince of Peace, in a world of conflict?

In this Q&A interview, Rev Raymond Fong, Pastor-in-Charge at Wesley Methodist Church, offers a pastoral perspective on navigating these uncertain times while remaining firmly grounded in scripture.

We all have that one habit we think is harmless. For her, it was sweet drinks. Coffee, teh ping, matcha, green tea. Four cups a day without fail.

When God asked her to give them up, she realised just how much she had been relying on them.

Worship is a special time where we respond to God — regardless of what we’ve been through during the week.

That conviction led Jasper to join the worship ministry at Ang Mo Kio Chinese Methodist Church, hoping to share with others what he experiences when he worships God.

Curiosity got the better of him. “Just once,” he told himself. But once became twice, and twice became a habit he couldn’t shake off — until he made up his mind to surrender to God. Today, he has broken free from this bondage and is willing to share his story, to encourage those facing the same struggle.

Bruce was a man hardened by drug addiction and repeated incarceration. A Primary Six drop-out and with a first arrest for theft at 16, he tells the story of how God transformed him and used him as a youth pastor, and to reach out to drug addicts and others trapped by their addictions and circumstances.

· Tending a garden taught me rest, healing and trusting God
For Dennis, tending an overgrown garden led him to slow down, adapt to creation’s pace, be drawn back to God, and restored toward wholeness. This article offers a fresh, honest glimpse of our place in God’s creation.

· Finding peace amidst conflict
Rev Raymond Fong, Pastor-in-Charge at Wesley Methodist Church, offers a pastoral perspective on navigating uncertain times and how we can be God’s peacemakers despite the conflict.

· New principals at three Methodist schools
We welcomed three new principals to our Methodist schools at the start of the year. Read their personal vision for the students and how the environment we provide together may help to nurture and shape the generations to come.

Psalm 24:1 (NIV) says that “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,” so we are but caretakers of what ultimately belongs to God.
In this age of climate change, Bishop Philip Lim reminds us that “When we behave as owners, we consume without restraint. When we see ourselves as stewards, we ask how our choices affect soil, sea, sky and all living creatures. The lens shifts from careless consumption to responsible consideration. Christian stewardship recognises that creation is not disposable; it is declared 'very good' (Genesis 1:31)”.

As we consider how we live on this earth, may we remember that "to practise stewardship today is to live with gratitude and restraint: reducing waste, supporting humane practices, protecting habitats and remembering that creation is not ours to dominate. It is God's to delight in."

Are we living in the end times? What are "the last days" like? When will it be?

Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at Trinity Theological College, Mark L. Y. Chan, reminds us that "we may not know when Christ will return, but we do know what he has called and commanded us to do: to love God and our neighbours, to live holy lives, to make disciples, and be salt and light in the world".

This article is written by Dennis Tan and Kezia Khoo from Our Father’s World, a mission organisation inspiring and equipping the Church to live out God’s heart for creation.
