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 ...

Pastor Jaemo Will Be Moving On

From the Pastor’s Desk (135) I have three older sisters and one younger brother.  In the culture that I grew up, it is customary for the first son to take the major responsibility of taking care of the aging parents.  Knowing this, I had approached my parents several times in the past asking them to come down to Houston to live near us.  But, each time they responded to me by saying, “You are in full-time ministry, and we don’t know when God will lead you to another place.  And when that happens, we will need to uproot ourselves and move ...

Church Discipline on Chris Mystery

From the Pastor’s Desk (134) Apostle Paul makes a very shocking comment about the members of the Corinthian Church. “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of ...

It’s Time to Build!

From the Pastor’s Desk (108) There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build… (Ecclesiastes 3: 1-3) It’s exciting to realize that the right time has finally arrived for us to build a new launching pad for God’s awesome work!  We will have our building project kick-off service next Sunday, November 6.  What a privilege it is for us to be able to ...

Lighthouses of Prayer

Starting from this Tuesday, we will begin our Lighthouses of Prayer ministry. We are doing this in response to the challenge God has given us during this year??s fall retreat in the area of prayer in our lives. We all know in our heads that persistent and fervent prayer is absolutely vital for any Christ follower and God??s church to grow and mature in Christ. However, it is not that easy developing a prayerful life on our own especially when we are spiritually young. We need support, encouragement and challenge from one another in order for us to develop the habit of ...

Coffee House 2003

From the Pastor’s Desk (80) I don’t particularly enjoy brushing my teeth, but I like the benefits it brings in my life.  Obviously, the most important benefit is that it protects my teeth and prevents me from getting cavities.  But it also gives me a very refreshing taste and feeling afterwards. That’s why I often say, “Ah-----!” after I finish brushing my teeth. Coffee House 2003 was such a success that it left me with a refreshing taste in my heart.  When I think of the event, I still find myself saying, “Ah-----!”  And I am sure ...

The Potential Future Site for Our Church!

From the Pastor’s Desk (71) There is a very strong possibility that our church will purchase 20 acres of land on Hammerly and Brittmore as our church site for the future.  In order to decide on this, we will have an emergency New Life family meeting on Sunday, October 6 at 2PM in the Lounge.  This may come as a surprise to many of you.  So, let me share with you how this came about. This past February, I had a strong sense and desire from God that we should look for and purchase at least 20 acres of land near I-10 and Beltway 8.  Both New Life ...
