使徒保罗的这句话，似乎与耶稣在马太福音22：37 – 38 中所说的全律法中最大的命令就是全心全意爱上帝有所不同。
一位善良且敬虔的新加坡人曾告诉我，他的生日恰好与世界厕所日同一天。我知道他是11月出生，但我不知道11月19日被联合国指定为世界厕所日！我也不晓得在2013年，联合国大会第一次通过了由新加坡政府提出（借着沈锐华先生的努力）将世界厕所日列为联合国官方节日的决议。
是时候在工作场所优先考虑心理的健康了。 这是2024年世界精神卫生日（2024年10月10日）所采纳的主题。近年来，我们对心理健康重要性的认知逐渐地提高。如今，被精神疾病困扰的人比我们想象的还要多。我们需要了解各种能够促进家庭中和朋友间心理健康的最佳方法。
“我们还活着吗？能再见彼此的面吗？因为耶稣的救赎恩典，荣耀与赞美归给主。” 这是查尔斯·卫斯理的一首圣诗的首句，卫理公会传统上每年在年会开始时唱这首圣诗。我们也将在9月2日的总议会开幕时唱这首圣诗。
在新加坡我们没有国王，但我们却通过选举选出国家的领袖，让他们获得治理国家的权力。这里圣经敦促我们带着感恩的心来为国家的领袖们祈祷。愿上帝赐给他们智慧和辨别力，“使我们可以敬虔、端正、平安无事地度日”。
她对女主人说：“我希望主人去见撒玛利亚的先知，他必能治好主人的麻风。” 乃缦去告诉他主人说，从以色列地来的女孩如此如此说。
列王记下 5:3-4
“在上帝—我们的父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗。”
雅各书1:27
诗篇127以第5节的“袋中装满了箭（儿女）的人有福了”来结束此诗。很明显的，诗篇127:3-5鼓励人们视儿女为上帝的赏赐及恩典，但我们也不应忽略了诗篇的开头说：“若不是耶和华建造房屋，建造的人就枉然劳力；若不是耶和华看守城池，看守的人就枉然警醒。”（诗篇127:1，新译本）
人类喜欢拉帮结派，我们尤其喜欢与志趣相投且喜欢我们的人抱团。我们会避开那些与我们不同的人——不论是言语、视听、行动或甚至思想上——尤其是信仰上有异于我们的人。在我们看来，他们或许更像“外邦人”。
你们无论做什么，都要从心里做，像是为主做的，不是为人做的；因为你们知道，从主那里必得着基业作为赏赐。你们要服侍的是主基督。歌罗西书3:23-24
