Hear From God
When I hear speakers talk about how to hear from God, I often hear the importance of worship, to listen and to read the Bible. These aren’t wrong. But one thing that I find very effective in hearing from God is making sure my heart is in the right place.In other words, sins, especially sins […]
Word Study
Last night I was doing a word study from the Bible. It helped me answer some questions I had, and at the same time, I have more questions I haven’t thought of before. A long time ago, a teacher once said that the more you dig into the Bible, the deeper it goes, and you […]
A Disciplined Life
Today, Ps Yang preached on the need to persevere, especially in the end times. A portion of his sermon he focused on the need to live a disciplined life. When I was training for Ironman, I was super disciplined. In order to eat healthily, I went down the aisle to find the cereal with the […]
God of the ORdinary (and Extraordinary)
Jesus has done many miracles and taught with great wisdom. Yet, one thing that continued to astonish me is Jesus washing the feet of the disciples. It is so ordinary. It is so mundane. It is so low. Yet, Jesus did it without hesitation. I love how John described this scene in John 13. First, […]
Slowing Down
I love getting stuff done and getting them done fast. There is no better feeling than checking off my to-do list. I quickly learn that when I take my girls out, I have to slow down. Life is not about rushing to get stuff done. Instead, it is finding opportunities in the ordinary day to […]
Not Going Back
“How come you are not interested in pornography?” Of all the questions I can think of, this one is not what I expected from my wife. I watched porn during University. I wasn’t a believer then, and it was so easy to download off the internet. After a while, I loss interested in it. I […]
Sowing Into My Children
I was never fond of children. I always joked that I have a talent in making them cry. But everything changed when Sarah-Faith was born. Raising her and now, along with our second one, changed a lot on how I perceive about raising children. I am not writing this because I am a great father, […]
To Walk Away
Recently a few well-known ministers announced they are walking away from the Christian faith. Many friends gave their two cents on this through Facebook. What I surprise is the lack of mentioning the consequences of walking away from the Christian. I have two disclaimers before I start. First, I haven’t read too much about these […]
Papa Got You
I held Sarah-Faith as she went into the pool for the first time. Ever since she slipped and fell into a deeper part of a pool, she was afraid of it. She would point to the water and cry, “Too deep! Too deep!” Last week, we took Sarah-Faith for her first water lesson. At 2.5 […]
A Box of Chocolate
This happened a while back, but it is still fresh in my memory. “Can Mama have it back?” Standing on the other side of the living room, I could see that our toddler, just shy of two months to being two years old, really wanted another one. She had a box of chocolates in her […]
