CD Review – Zion by Hillsongs United

by Audrey Koong When asked in an interview with CCM Magazine why the title “Zion” was chosen, Joel Houston said: “From the outset, I felt like this was going to be a project that spoke simply and decisively of the story of God…of the sense of purpose and mission that comes from realizing where we fit in the picture.

When God Interrupts

by Jonathan Lee As a young man working in a large multi-national company, the world was my oyster. I strived to climb the corporate ladder. During this time, I was attending church and involved in a ministry, but I was more concerned about rising through the ranks and getting a big paycheck.

One Boss

One Boss

by Bernard Lee “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23 As I reflected on this verse some years back, I realised that there was only one “boss” in my life, and that was God.

The political unrest in Egypt, Turkey and Syria; the crisis in the Korean Peninsula; the financial challenges in Europe… One cannot help but conclude that the world is in a pretty messy state. Of course, we need peace not just in the affairs of nations but in the lives of individuals as well. Luke
