  • Love is NOT blind

  • Lasik lessons

    I thought it would be cool to make my first article published in 2020 centre on my journey to getting 20/20 vision.

  • Content vs consent

    Last month, I inadvertently started a war on my Facebook wall by posting something that seemed so obvious to me that I was shocked that anyone could see it differently: the rape of Hagar and Bathsheba by Abram and David respectively. The impassioned debate that ensued opened my eyes to a lot of perspectives and nuances that I had never considered before.

  • The church he kissed goodbye

    Shock and sadness washed over the Western church when Joshua Harris publicly announced that he was leaving both his wife and his faith.

  • What is your profession?

     We’ve all heard that phrase before, the triumphant chant of a Sunday worship service, celebrating the confidence of God’s protection for His people. I personally have repeated it multiple times in the context of prayer, a prophetic word, examining a Bible verse or even a pep talk to myself every once in a while when I need my faith to come from hearing the word (even if the word uttered with my own voice).

  • Now Show Me Your Glory

     Growing up in church, there were some infamous stories that became etched in Sunday school and bible study folklore: Jonah getting swallowed by the whale, David killing Goliath, Moses asking God if he could see His face.

  • Safe sex

    Imagine a classroom of high school pupils and a teacher warning them about the dangers of smoking. Instead of explicitly instructing the children not to smoke cigarettes and stressing how smoking causes lung cancer, she gives the students packets of cigarettes that are low in nicotine and tar content.

  • The fallacy of LGBT tolerance

    The pique in LGBTQ rights has also witnessed the resurgence of accusations of the Church being intolerant towards to this community when speaking of sexual sin. This view is flawed for various reasons that are elucidated below.
