Written by Kylie Yip

Kylie is living with her husband, Andy, and three small children in Sydney's Greater West. Together they serve with the saints at Campsie Chinese Congregational Church, where Andy is the pastor of the English-speaking youth service. Amidst the many joys and challenges of life, she is constantly reminded that Jesus is himself—the living, sovereign Lord of all, working his gracious plans out in the lives of schmucks like us. She is also really thankful for Rooibos tea!

Pleasure (and Power and Pride)

June 23, 2022June 23, 2022 by Kylie Yip

In my last two articles, I wrote about Pride and Power and my aim in each was to warn us of the danger of shielding ourselves from the God who is Love. I argued that Pride turns us away from our Creator so that the reality of our smallness and dependence…

Power and pride

December 17, 2020December 17, 2020 by Kylie Yip

In recent years I have become downwardly mobile, that is to say I used to be able to do more than what I can do now. Two words: small children. I mean I used to be able to go to the shops and even to the bathroom whenever I felt like it. Now there are very…

Communicating Christmas

December 17, 2019December 17, 2019 by Kylie Yip

A good friend has recently become a Christian. As she and her then boyfriend (who has had a mixed experience of Christianity) came home from church one night, she bubbled over with excitement about the sermon: “Wasn’t it so great to be reminded…

Is Christianity a tribe?

July 3, 2019July 2, 2019 by Kylie Yip

What’s a tribe? Well, whenever a woman tells me she studied Science, Engineering or Maths at university, and I reply that I too studied Engineering, there’s a moment of “aha…!”. Suddenly the relationship becomes more open as there’s a bunch…

Listening: why it matters and why it’s hard

March 24, 2019March 24, 2019 by Kylie Yip

“Australians,” quoted our chaplain, “spend the second half of your sentence thinking of an answer to the first half”. Well, I think, I’m a good listener, at any rate. I never—oh, wait, were you still talking?There are many times in the Bible…

Teaching wisdom to our children

January 1, 2019December 18, 2018 by Kylie Yip

“A foolish son is a grief to his fatherand bitterness to her who bore him” (Prov 17:25)Too many of us know this pain first hand—the pain of watching your child make choices that are rightly theirs to make, but that you know will not end well. So far…
