I would like to share some thoughts that have been on my mind lately. As a Christian man from an Indigenous community, I sometimes struggle with feelings of hurt and misunderstanding, and I believe it’s important to talk about it. I’ve been on my faith journey for almost two years now, and it has truly changed my life. I went from feeling lost and battling depression to discovering hope and improvement in my mental well-being. Embracing this faith has been a positive experience for me. I gained a new Job which I never expected to get this position and I have graduated from the best university in Cambodia. However, the transition hasn’t been without its challenges. Some friends and people close to me have distanced themselves, and I’ve faced some bullying and rejection, even being invited to my wedding. It’s been tough, especially since I never meant to hurt anyone. It's important for us to remember the significance of our roots and identities, regardless of our beliefs. Our Cambodi...

Have you ever wondered why God wants his individuals to sing? “Anybody who has ever been to church or seen on social media will have noted that there is very a parcel of singing but is it basic and seems we revere God successfully without it?”  Here are a few of my experiences and scriptural reasons from well-known pastors worldwide.   Firstly, singing makes a difference for us, as it allows us to unwind and lock in each perspective of our being: intellect, body, and soul. What is more, singing has a special capacity to lead us into God’s nearness in harmony with others. At whatever point I have arrived at church; I feel new and appreciate singing since makes strides in my mental well-being and leads me to God’s nearness.   Secondly, let the word of Christ stay in you luxuriously, instructing and rebuking one another in all shrewdness, singing hymns and psalms and otherworldly melodies, with appreciation in your hearts to God (Colossians 3:16). To b...

I continued just trying to reapply by making improvements to my application and getting guidance from my senior who ...
