Salvation Rate

The number of lost souls that could be saved per evangelistic meeting—to rescue both atheists and those who were previously under Satan’s rule from hell, prior to their embracing the Christian faith.

With the salvation of Singapore in mind, some mathematically inclined theologians are itching to divine what the salvation rate for next year’s “Celebration of Hope” event would be.

When the feline behavior of the irrational and transcendental number π, which is stubborn in revealing some of its beautiful numerical or geometric properties, clashes with its oft-canine responses, which occasionally rewards those who have loyally spent their lifetime with the beloved constant with an aha! erection.

Secret Frustration

Something that you don’t understand or doesn’t make sense why it happens to you, but you also know that God could change the situation, because He can remove that obstacle, open that closed door, or remove that temptation or addiction.

Be it a situation in your health, your finances, or a relationship, when God doesn’t seem to be intervening to turn things around, know that His grace is sufficient for every one of your secret frustrations.

Mask Art

When artists worldwide creatively use their art via masks to fight COVID-19, by transforming the medical masks, which often instill fear and death, into symbols of hope and life.
