Parking
Tonight I drove to the YMCA for a swim. As I was waiting for a spot, a van pulled up from behind and about to take it. I instinctively flashed my high beam light to indicate that it was my spot. I was here first and it was mine. He had no right to take […]
Say no and do vs say and not do
I was reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan and something caught my eye. The Parable of the Two Sons 28″What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29″ ‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he […]
Go
Tonight, I met up with a friend that I hadn’t seen for a while. She is getting ready to go to Australia to check out a few Universities. I shared all the great sights and experiences down south. She was making a decision whether to stay here to study for her Masters (and save some […]
Compartmentalize Your Faith
Before I started this post, I didn’t realize compartmentalize is even a word :). A long long time ago, my fellowship was going through some conflict. There was debate over a night where a sister had party. There was a huge fuss about some members acting non-Christian like in there. One thing lead to another […]
Mission as identity -> Mission as Community?
“It (Church) is not what you do on Sunday. It is who you are. To be a Christian is to be part of God’s people to express that life, your life through belonging to a Christian community. The heart of the mission of God is the creation of the people of God.” – Tim Chester […]
Quiteness, Doing and Loving…
Quietness… I wouldn’t say lately I am feeling good. I always feel a deep burden for the lost. The feeling to be alone. To not do anything. Even though, there is many things I should be doing. I just want to stop for a min. I know I should rejoice to be in awe of […]
What is a Church?
About to talk about what’s a church at this week’s fellowship. We were suppose to write two sentences about what we think church is. I wrote one line. A group of Spirit leaded people living and bringing Glory to God through obedience to Jesus’ teaching. I remembered A B Simpson, the founder of Christian and […]
Riches Beyond Riches
When I thought of the rest of the world making less than 2 dollar day..I cannot help to start doing some math. 2 dollar a day = about 700 dollars a year. Anyone who comes out of University makes on an average $40,000. Compare to the majority of the world, we who have a degree […]
The poor gets harder
I was at Open Door tonight. They had a General Meeting. One of the members was talking with the recent change in the grocery store in not providing free plastic bag, they have trouble getting them. At the store, you can now pay five cent for a bag. This is good for the environment. But […]
This is an emergency….
Either I fully believe in this or not.. Either I carry my cross or not… A long long time ago, I counted my cost. Ever since then, I am always overwhelm by the futility of what I can do…..there is nothing I can do but to pray with tears for God to work among my […]
