The July 2026 issue of Methodist Message is out!
- FEATURE | Situationships and dating
Modern dating culture thrives on ambiguity, but this lack of clarity is often not healthy, honouring nor God-centred. What does a healthy dating relationship look like? As believers, how should we conduct ourselves in a way that demonstrates Christ is at the centre of the relationship? Rev Benjamin Lau, Director of TRAC’s Young Adults Ministry, shares sound advice grounded in love.
- SOUNDINGS | Sexual fluidity: The biblical response to abrosexuality
Are you baffled by the gender theories being proposed today, and bewildered by the plethora of gender identites and types of sexual orientations being put forward in the name of sexual liberation and individualism? In this article, Dr Roland Chia touches on sexual fluidity and abrosexuality, but closes with the call to be guided by biblical truth.
- FEATURE | Christ in pop culture: A Christian’s guide
The Jesus Christ Superstar Musical, scheduled to be staged in Singapore in a few weeks’ time, has raised much interest and conversations within the community (once again). It retells the final days of Jesus’ life through the eyes of Judas Iscariot and portrays Christ in ways that seem irreverent and even theologically skewed. In his article, Rev Timothy Ang shares his thoughts on how Christians may respond to this portrayal and offers a framework for Christian engagement with culture.
- THINK | Should Christians practise martial arts?
Is the practice of martial arts problematic for Christians? Most of us view it as part of health and fitness, even self-defence, but some are concerned about the influence of non-Christian religious spirituality associated with martial arts. Dr Lai Pak Wah, Principal and Lecturer in Church History and Marketplace Theology at the Bible Graduate School of Theology, delves into the history and spiritual discernment of martial arts in this enlightening read.
