Christological Origins of Paul’s Gospel:
This article @ https://ethosinstitute.sg/christological-origins-of-pauls-gospel/ by Dr Ng Kam Weng, highlights the four areas that often raise doubts regarding the authenticity of Paul’s teachings that stands firm, springing forth from his divine revelation of the risen Christ – born out of his personal encounter with Christ’s love and salvation. Yet, regrettably, his claims are often challenged, dismissed as distortions of Christianity by competing Hellenistic philosophies.

Why the Old Testament Ends with a Curse and How Jesus Breaks It:
This article – https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/why-the-old-testament-ends-with-a-curse-and-how-jesus-breaks-it/, by James Lasher highlights the sobering truth that lies at the heart of a recent teaching by John Eckhardt, who explored the book of Malachi as the final prophetic voice before Christ’s arrival. Eckhardt underscores that this conclusion is deliberate: “The book ends with the word ‘curse.’ The Old Testament ends with the word curse,” he explained. Yet, he reminds us, that is not the ultimate ending of the story.

Our Identity in Christ:
This article @ https://ethosinstitute.sg/our-identity-in-christ/ by Dr Roland Chia, shows how the Christian’s identity is not established on the basis of social conventions, nationality, but rather, it is grounded in Jesus Christ with whom the Christian is united – a concept that Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor identifies as “expressive individualism” where his sense of self, purpose and worth is shaped and governed by his relationship with Jesus Christ, than his own feelings, achievements, social status or worldly definitions.

Further Down the Slippery Slope – On Extending the 14–Day Rule:
This article @ https://ethosinstitute.sg/further-down-the-slippery-slope-on-extending-the-14-day-rule/ by Dr Roland Chia, shows how SSA he SSA cautions that certain policies, though seemingly limited at first, can gradually lead to morally troubling and even disastrous outcomes, citing the example of legalising physician–assisted dying (suicide) for patients with terminal illnesses to open the door to its extension for non-terminal cases. Similarly, the widely accepted 14–day rule for embryo research – intended as a practical safeguard could be stretched to 28 days, allowing scientists to study gastrulation, when primitive tissues first form. Advocates argue that such an extended window could enhance IVF safety, improve success rates, and deepen understanding of birth defects. Yet, the human embryo, from the moment of conception, bears the image of God and must be treated with dignity and protection, (Genesis 1:26–27).

From the Closet to the World: The Dynamic Relationship between Prayer and Action
This article @ https://ethosinstitute.sg/from-the-closet-to-the-world-the-dynamic-relationship-between-prayer-and-action/ by Dr Roland Chia, highlighted how the modern evangelical church must remain alert to two related, though often misunderstood – errors concerning prayer and action, and how they are connected. Scripture, along with the Church’s rich theological and spiritual heritage, consistently affirms that prayer and Christian action are deeply intertwined and cannot be separated. It is said that prayer is foundational basis to the Christian life where life–giving communion flows between creature and Creator if he/she has relationship with God because of the gracious divine invitation, and for us to participate in action in His redeeming work in the world. Truly, prayer and action constitute as one rhythm of grace where the rhythm of love begins and ends in God than being two separate movements.

Who Has Faith in Marriage and Family? It’s Not Just the Religious
In this article – https://ethosinstitute.sg/a-most-respectable-sin/ by Dr Roland Chia, he highlights that one of the sins in Thomas’ list is “sloth”, which is generally defined as physical and spiritual idleness (the other six are: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony and wrath). Thomas describes sloth as “an oppressive sorrow”, a “sluggishness of the mind which neglects to do good.” Yet, there is a sin in becoming a workaholic, and studies have shown that workaholism can be considered a form of addiction because it exhibits many of the same symptoms, found in other forms of addiction such as tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, salience, relapse and mood modification. In addition, there is also substantial evidence that workaholism negatively impacts both physical and mental health and heightens work–family conflict, to the extent that it can reasonably be regarded as a sin.

Fighting Pagan Gods and Principalities with the Practice of the Good Life:
In this article – https://ethosinstitute.sg/fighting-pagan-gods-and-principalities-with-the-practice-of-the-good-life/ by Kjelti Koh, he reminds us that spiritual warfare is understood as God judging and opposing these demonic enemies, both to wage war against them, yet He comes to restore order from the chaos and destruction they have caused, overthrowing corrupt powers and rescuing humanity from their evil grip, knowing that Jesus has already destroyed the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), and He now calls us, as His followers, to take part in this spiritual struggle. In this way, metaphors can expand our vision of the Good Life, helping us move beyond a simplistic worldview that divides reality into agents of pure good or pure evil. Such reductionism can minimize personal responsibility for sin and neglect the slow, demanding work of discipleship toward holiness, replacing it with the quick fix of merely casting out demons.

Compassionate Killing?
In this article – https://ethosinstitute.sg/compassionate-killing / by Dr Roland Chia, he highlights that while Euthanasia and assisted dying are often described as compassionate acts because they aim to relieve the unbearable suffering of patients with incurable illnesses, and many supporters also argue that such practices uphold the dignity of terminally ill individuals. Carey shares this view, speaking of providing a dignified way for a terminally ill patient to end their life; yet, some theologians and ethicists contend that this notion of “functional dignity,” when considered in isolation, does not fully reflect the richer and more comprehensive understanding of dignity found within the Christian tradition.

What’s in a name? Making Some Sense of the “Pronoun Hospitality” Debate:
This article – https://ethosinstitute.sg/whats-in-a-name-making-some-sense-of-the-pronoun-hospitality-debate/ by Dr Lewis Winkler, he noted how names both impart and express identity like the time when Adam names the animals as one way to fulfil God’s mandate to “have dominion” over creation in Genesis.2. Indeed, the one who names claims special kind of authority over who or what is named. And since names are expressed in language, how we perceive language impacts the way we understand and relate to the world around us. Christians, in contrast, recognize that language, properly understood, is a gift from God and refers to a concrete external reality created not by us but by Him, and how Christians consider maleness and femaleness to be external endowments, knit into the fabric of creation by divine design. This encourages us to accept our self–generated and self–determined perception, maleness and femaleness as divine gifts, blessings to be humbly and gratefully accepted, embraced, and expressed.
