A Letter from Roca Blanca
As you know, Roca Blanca is a very special place for me because that was the first place that I went to for a mission trip with some members from the KSC in the spring of 1995 and then with the youth group members in the summer of the same year. Ever since then, I used to go there every year for the next several years.
Mission trips to Roca Blanca were always hard because we went to tough and difficult places without much civilization. However, one of the joys and blessings of going down there for me was to work with Laura Pratt who is a missionary nurse who has been working alongside of the founders of the mission base, Duane & Sue ...
3G and SRM Are Everyone’s Ministries!
It is very easy for pastors to discriminate church members based on their educational, professional or socioeconomic status. James warns us about this.
"My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, 'Here is a good seat for you,' but say to the poor man, 'You stand there' or 'Sit on the floor by my feet,' have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?" (James 2:1-4)
The reason ...
What a Surprise!
I am uncomfortable being the center of attention. That's why I have always preferred working behind the scenes, being a good follower to a good leader. I have never liked surprise parties being thrown for me. I remember getting upset at my wife for giving me a surprise birthday party in the earlier years of our marriage. I am an introvert by nature.
However, last Friday, many of you came out to church and gave me a (not- so) surprise birthday party. It truly touched my heart. Even though I felt awkward getting roasted big time, I deeply appreciated all of you and your sincere hearts. I am still processing what took place on Friday because ...
Let’s Be on Time
It's been almost four months since we started two worship services in the beginning of February. When I don't have preaching responsibility, I, at times, participate in Married Men's Intercessory Prayer for the first worship. It's quite amazing to see several men showing up at 8AM to pray together for church. I also know that our Membership and Magnification Team members come to church even before 8AM to set up and prepare for Sunday worship service.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that many of us are not coming to church on time to worship. This needs to stop because it is dishonoring to God and insulting to those who work very hard to prepare ...
Two Services from February: Another Growing Pain!
As we watch the remodeling of our New Life Kids (NLK) wing coming to completion, we are getting excited thinking about what God will do for our children in that facility. Let's pray that God will raise up great men and women through our children's ministry who will live and die for Him in their generation.
Starting from next Sunday, we will have two worship services beginning at 9 and 11AM. And this is how the worship service will look like:
Welcome & Church News
Praise
Shepherd's prayer (Children get dismissed after the prayer)
Praise
Testimony (if there is any)
Message
Giving back to God
Benediction
Since we will begin the worship service with ...
Family Reunion
This past week was pretty busy for me and my wife. It was because my niece from New Jersey, my younger brother's family and third older sister's family from Atlanta visited us for about a week. I invited Grace, my niece, who is a senior in high school, to come down so she can go to our youth group's winter retreat since she has never been to any youth retreats in the past. The two families from Atlanta came to see how I was doing because they were concerned about my eyes.
It wasn't easy hosting nine extra people all at my house for several days. Although we didn't eat every meal at home, it still was a big production to prepare each meal for 14 ...
Amazing Students at Living Life Bible Study
My Living Life Bible Study (LLBS) students this semester are all amazing. I have 20 students in the class which I think is the most ideal size. Seven of them are undergrad students, six are medical school students, one is a doctor and six are working professionals.
After a long day at school or work, they show up to the class on Monday evening to learn more about God by studying His Word. Their motives and intentions for taking the class are varied. Some are taking the class because they are pressured by their shepherds to take it. Others are taking the class because it is one of the requirements for getting involved in certain ministries at ...
