Paul, in 1 Timothy 2:1–2, urges us to make "supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings...for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way." We understand the need of this prayer in the apostle's context, working as he did during the Roman empire, whose early leaders were not always disposed to treat Christians fairly. Yet long before Rome conquered the known world, believers

Dear Hermon Family, Blessed 38th Anniversary! As I reflect on God's goodness to Mt Hermon Bible-Presbyterian Church, one word fills my heart above all else — thanksgiving. Thirty-eight years ago, the Lord established this congregation officially. Since then, He has faithfully gathered His people, saved sinners through the gospel of Jesus Christ, nurtured believers in His Word, raised up leaders, strengthened families, and sustained this church through many seasons of joy

In last week’s editorial, Eld Chow Meng highlighted how healthy church membership begins with the Word of God and continues into visible belonging to Jesus Christ and His people. That the Christian faith, though personal, is never lived out privately. It is through the church, the body of Christ, that we hear God’s word preached and taught, and are converted. And it is to those outside of the church that we bear witness to Christ, sharing the gospel that we have heard and rec

We long for unity, maturity, love, and fruitfulness. We want a church where the gospel is preached, disciples are formed, and Christ is exalted. But a church is never healthier than the spiritual health of its members. When you w

Church membership is sometimes misunderstood. Some see it as a form, a name on a roll, or a requirement before serving. Others question whether it is necessary, since early Christians often met in homes and did not have modern membership systems. But we should not confuse the form of membership with the substance of membership. The early churches may not have had databases, transfer letters, or printed constitutions, but they had identifiable believers, recognised leaders,

The Story: A new report finds that the single biggest factor in whether children keep the faith isn’t their church, their youth group, or their peers but their parents. The more surprising finding is what works at home, and how often well-meaning Christian parents get it backward. The Background: Passing the Torch: How Faith Moves Across Generations, a June 2026 report by sociologists Jesse Smith and Jane Lankes Smith, draws on several national datasets to examine American

Taming is a process by which a wild beast is subdued into adapting and submitting to human control. Which beast is the hardest to tame? Zebras? Sharks? House cats? According to Scripture, it is the human tongue. As James, the brother of Jesus, observes, “all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man” (James 3:7). Despite mankind’s success in taming the animal kingdom, there exists one wild thing, James says, we hav

For all those who went to the church camp, thank you for the warm fellowship. Our time together was treasured. For those who were not at the camp, your presence was missed. Thank you for taking care of things back home here in Singapore. Our next camp will be in 20

This year’s church camp was a camp that filled us abundantly. Our stomachs never stop digesting – from breakfast to tea break, lunch to tea break again, then dinner and night snack. On top of that, there were plenty of ‘maggie’ noodles provided by the committee. Wow…. Upon reflection, what about our minds and our hearts? Have we filled our minds abundantly and constantly with God’s Word, and digesting it to move our hearts to transform our actions and become part of our rul

Next week in our sermon on James 2:14-26, some have felt that it pits James, who was one of the primary leaders of the early church in Jerusalem, against Apostle Paul on the issue of justification. May the following article by R.C Sproul enlighten as to the debate, that in fact they are both on the same side. Pastor Daniel Tan This question is not critical only today, but it was in the eye of the storm we call the Protestant Reformation that swept through and divided the Chri

Next week will be our bi-annual church camp. As we look forward to spending extended time together not just with our fellow Hermonites but also with our Horebian brethren and our missions partners, may this short reflection be our encouragement to look forward to the blessings and benefits we will receive through the church camp. Pastor Daniel Tan Imagine a place where laughter is abundant, lifelong friendships are forged and faith is deepened. Welcome to church camp! Church

Today, we live in a culture that excels at grading, sorting and valuing people. From the clothes we wear and the cars we drive to our academic credentials, professional titles and what we can offer to one another — and even down to our nationalities and physical appearance — human worth is constantly being calculated. Tragically, the church is not immune to this worldly mindset. Fellow brothers and sisters sometimes judge one another (and even themselves) according to these
