1 Thessalonians 5:23 tells us that in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ, we need to be blameless and allow our spirit, soul and body to sanctified. Our spirit, soul and body constitute our inner life and SP shared that we need to develop our inner life to grow in our love of God.
A big part of sanctifying our souls includes sanctifying our minds. This is very important in today’s context, given that the number one health concern in Singapore is mental health. The Government has said that a “whole of society approach” is necessary to tackle the multifaceted nature of mental health by destigmatizing mental health conditions, building resilience and encouraging early help. The Church is undeniably a critical player in such an approach.
