Hope from the One who won’t forsake

H

13 For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. 14 Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you,” declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. … 17 “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer...

Discernment: The Long Way

D

Challies.com gave a great illustration why we need to learn to discern for ourselves. He compare it with doing long division. Sometimes it is the long way that is the right way. No Google. No blogs. No opinions. Just between me, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Long way is never easy. As I always say in triathlon..if it is easy..it ain’t fun. The hard (or the long way) often time is the best...

Dignity

D

“Why are you giving this to me in this place? Can’t you see there are people I know around here?” – R replied as we are standing in an underground food court. My friend was holding a sleeping bag that was for R. He was offended. A good lesson on dignity. No one enjoys being a charity case. Nor do anyone wants to look down upon. We pulled a chair over and chatted with R. He...

In awe

I

Christmas is coming soon. And as I look back, reflect now, it seems I can be quite a busy body. Busy reading many blogs. Busy reading many books. Busy reading the Bible. Busy moving around. Ministries…meeting up with friends. Last night, I was sharing with a brother that when I think about Christ, I am still at awe. Why would God send His Son on earth. The King and the Lord come on this...

Testimony

T

Today my church service had three baptisms. It was great. Testimonies alway remind me of Holy Spirit is at work and God’s Kingdom is continue to extend. During lunch time, a sister told me how amazing my testimony is…I know she meant kindly. I reply that it is not my testimony. It is God’s. Any testimony is amazing. I don’t think there is any dull or boring testimony. I...

He who talk most…

listen least!

Haha. I read this quote and I thought…hey that sounds like me.

Hmm…sometimes I wonder if I listen merely just for the other person to finish so I can throw out my points….

hmm…

Price of Jesus…

P

“Do you believe that Jesus is worth abandoning everything for? Do you believe him enough to obey him and to follow him wherever he leads, even when the crowds in our culture–maybe even our churches–turn the other way?” (Source: Radical by David Platt) I was going through my blogs a few days ago. I like reading what I wrote. Some thoughts that lingers in the air. A post I...

Christmas Lunch…

C

“Where’s everyone?” My pastor asked as I was setting chairs and the tables in the social hall. I replied, “I do not know. They should be coming.” Yesterday was an unusual Saturday. My normal routine was to go to the Y, swim, then bike for a few hours. Instead, I found myself in my church’s social hall. My church was having a lunch potluck. A brother worked at a...
