Chaplain Grace Chan, Lecturer of Practical Theology. The Psalms are a collection of sacred songs from the nation of Israel, encompassing songs sung individually and collectively in worship.

Brian Lei (M.Div.) The ancients said, "One day without seeing you feels like three years." A poet longing for his love felt as if each day felt like three years. Now, I feel as if three years feel like one day. Before I knew it, three years have passed since I enrolled at Baptist Theological Seminary, and graduation is just around the corner. After three years of full-time study, I still have to ask myself: Who am I? Why should I serve such a great Creator? ...
