Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, creators of Superman, 1942 There are some parallels between Superman and Jesus Christ. This may have something to do with the creators of Superman being Jewish. For example, Superman’s Kryptonian name is Kal-El, which resembles Hebrew phrases that can mean “Voice of God.” Jesus is called the Word of God. In Superman Returns (2006), the movie makes the parallel even more obvious. In one scene, Superman floats into outer space and hears his father

I started reading the Bible with my grandma every night. We started reading the book of Daniel together. We both really enjoyed the journey into the life of the Prophet Daniel, his relationship with God, and the trials and tribulations he faced. We read up to the climax of the story where Daniel is thrown into the lion's den because of the trickery of his malicious colleagues, and the readers are left on the edge of their seats. And then, the moment of triumph: At the first l

On one instance, Jesus was confronted by a religious expert. Jesus then replied to him with a story to illustrate an important point. This story has since been known as the "Good Samaritan". You can read about it by clicking the link here . I am not sure how these parables got their unofficial names, but if you read it, perhaps a more apt title for the story would be "the Parable of the Merciful Samaritan". Regardless, there have been many times where I have seen a fellow hum

Not long ago, I was in Singapore, on my way to meet my friend Joshua. I was excited — we hadn’t seen each other in a while. So I found myself brisk walking toward the train station where we were supposed to catch up. But in the middle of my rush, I saw something in the corner of my eye that made me stop in my tracks. There on the pavement was a small baby bird. It was breathing shallowly, its tiny chest rising and falling with great effort. It was dying. I bent down, carefull

There are many unpleasant emotions that form the human experience. Regret, Anxiety, Rejection, and abandonment are some that come to mind. But perhaps none are as utterly soul-sapping as this particular one: Loneliness. And there are some nights where I cannot shake the feeling off of me. How can one describe it? Psychology Today describes the mental mechanics behind loneliness: Though our need to connect is innate, many of us frequently feel alone. Loneliness is the state of

Date: 08/05/25 This morning did not begin the way I had hoped. My room was a mess. I felt alone and frustrated. I went into my room, feeling overwhelmed and emotionally messy. But thank God, that week I had been going to a Christian therapist. I remembered his words: "Feelings are meant to be felt." During our session, he had pointed to the Psalms of David as biblical proof that feelings aren't meant to be supressed or ignored - but felt and expressed in a healthy way. That i

Last night after my church's small group gathering, I felt incredibly discouraged. My heart was heavy, and I found myself longing to escape—to go back to the city, back to the old pleasures I once indulged in, back to the fleeting comfort of the clubbing scene. But as I got there, something shifted. The Holy Spirit—Ruach Hakodesh—was at work. Just as Jesus says in John 3, those born of the Spirit are transformed; and in that moment, I realized that my desires were no longer m

Diary Entry: April 8, 2023 Our internal reality can often be untrue to what is external reality . I find that often-time, I get angry and frustrated when I don't feel like I'm loved by family, friends and especially by God Himself. But here is an account of a day where I felt so loved by God and family that it was the most beautiful, warm and heart-felt experienced. Now, as an adult, I've learned that I can't always feel loved. I have to believe that I am! Because it is fa

Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. - Joel 1:3 What is a Christian testimony? A Christian testimony is a powerful, true story told from the unique perspective of an individual who witnessed and experienced the reality of God.
