“Go and make disciples of all nations…” is a command issued by our Lord Jesus Christ. Discipleship/disciple making is an important aspect of our Christian life. We might assume that all Christians know what discipleship/disciple making means. However, if we view discipleship/disciple making to be simply a program, a ministry or an activity that we do, we have a shallow understanding of it.

I believe discipleship/disciple making is a way of life that reflects our faith in Jesus and our commitment to Him as our Lord and Savior. This is a life-long commitment. Every Christian should be both a disciple and disciple-maker at the same time.

Recently I have been following a Chinese reality television show called 乘风破浪的姐姐 or “Sisters Who Make Waves”. In each episode, the sisters gave their best to practise for a song and dance item. Their aim was to win sufficient votes to get through each round, and ultimately made it together with a handful of sisters to the Championship Group Formation Night (成团夜).

I live on the top floor of a HDB flat, and so I will take the lift every day. There were times when I had to bear with an awful cigarette smoke smell in the lift that was left behind by some inconsiderate smokers. 

On other occasions, I had to hold my breath for as long as I could because of an overpowering perfume smell that lingered in the air. I do not understand why some people love to douse themselves with excessive perfume to the point that others can smell them from a mile away. 

The closest place to be

with Christ is not just the church,

but the missional church.

BY REV DR FOREST KOH

If the church is not missional,

it is not a church.

The new kind of church is a missional church;

other than that,

it is not a church.

I was called to serve in a church without really grasping what church is supposed to be. In fact, many of my friends also didn’t understand why I left the entertainment scene to become a pastor! 

It all happened in this way. First, I went to seminary to find out about my faith in response to a group of Christians encountering a lot of brokenness in their marriages. I was thinking at that time, what is the difference between a Christian marriage and a non-Christian one? We seemed to go through the same struggles of fragility, helplessness and hopelessness. Is there something wrong with our faith? The divorce rate among Christians is almost as high as that of non-Christians. What can we do about it? Perhaps, we have believed wrongly?
