This world is filled with uncertainty, competition and stress. Amidst the pressures surrounding us, it is not difficult to feel lost and disheartened, and even at times question whether we are on the right path. The old testament Joseph represents this journey in a sense, there were multiple times in his life where he must have felt discouraged and alone, and yet God knew the path set before him. God used the lowest points in Joseph's life and ultimately used him to save an entire nation and the surrounding regions. There must have been times where Joseph lost hope and felt like his life was i ..read more

 As I and many other university students are in the thick of studying for final exams, I am reflecting on the many hours of revision, the late nights, early mornings and the taste of room temperature coffee that I have experienced year after year in my academic life. And then I think to myself, why am I actually studying in the first place?

However, God is the giver of all good things, and I know that t ..read more

When going about explaining these three points to a classmate or stranger, often people will ask: "How do you know that the universe had a beginning?". Below are 4 points that prove the "finiteness" of the universe. It would not logically make se ..read more

The Need for Followers of Jesus in the Classroom

Universities are often thought of as a place of enlightenment, deep academic thought and intellectualism, and despite this being true, universities are some of the most secular, cold, and God-shunning habitats on the face of the earth. Being a follower of Jesus as a student comes with its hardships. We are incessantly harassed to conform to conflicting ideologies, and at times it seems like our personal values and convictions are at odds with a society that demands that we think and believe in a way that it alone dictates.  Although Christianity is not openly persecuted and ridiculed in ..read more
