Apples of Gold
Proverbs 25:11 says: A word spoken in the right circumstances is like apples of gold in settings of silver. This verse emphasizes the importance of proper words in any given situation. Sometimes, we see that people around us will say things which are not proper for the situation, or to put someone down or slander others. By doing so, they tend to lose the favor of others. I experience this kind of situation sometimes. I understand that it is not often for church members to have a chance to talk to me and in such a rare occasion, they may say things which are not ...
My Prayer for the Year
My prayer request for the 333 prayer team for the last year was 'to have better spiritual eyes and to be more sensitive toward God's voice through deeper prayer and fasting'. Last year, I thought that as of August, 2015, I would complete 3 years as senior pastor and would start the 4th year. Therefore, my prayer request reflected my desire of entering into a new deeper level of spirituality. I wanted to have a more intimate time of prayer during the Morning Prayer and wanted to have a spiritually more meaningful time during the weekly fasting rather than mechanically ...
Finding Freedom From Guilt Trap
I was born in a non-Christian family but I probably had a notion of God. So, if I went to a Buddhist temple for a school field trip, I bowed down to the statue of Buddha and when I heard that I needed to pray to the moon on the first full moon of the year, I did. However, whenever I was in trouble, I sought 'God'. I did not know when I attained this concept of God, but He was always the one I prayed to when I took a college entrance exam, had a job interview, or whenever I needed help.
However, in spite of seeking Him in times of trouble, He was not a comfortable ...
The Reason We Do What We Do
We have been doing youth house church ministry for over four years now. It's been quite a ride. There have been many moments in the past when I concluded that this is not going to work. It's not worth it. It's too hard on the kids, parents, village leaders, and me. But we're still doing it because I believe it's worth it. Here's why.
Recently, a ninth grade student shared her testimony with me. I had asked her to answer some questions for me because she wanted to be baptized. After answering those questions, she added a personal note. In it, she shared about her journey ...
Who is The Lord of My Life
Starting from the fasting of this Tuesday evening, the three chord prayer will commence this Wednesday morning. There are numerous problems in life and the only one who can truly solve them is God. Many of you understand this and that is why you come to church before dawn to pray. When I think about that, it is very exciting.
Three Chord prayer is not only to solve problems and to overcome spiritual obstacles but also to become more confirmed to God's will by seeking His voice and not the answers which seem right to us. I urge all of you to participate in this ...
SBC for 2015
This is the last week of 2015 and I want to share with you the major activates of the SBC for 2015. For 2015, there were 188 new comers who registered to the church. The average Sunday worship attendance was 1,029 for all three services. The number who received Jesus as savior was 131, and 130 were baptized. This gives an average number of 2.5 per week who received Jesus and were baptized. Once again this year was full with special stories and testimonies of their first encounter with Jesus. I am sure we all rejoiced together with God for the salvation of these ...
My Family’s 2015
At the end of year 2015, I reflected over this year. The most meaningful event for the year is the pastor's seminar in a city in China and in Mozambique, Africa. Considering the impoverished condition of those locations, it was truly amazing to have an official house church seminar where the hosting church members provided room and board to the seminar participants.
To achieve this, arrangements were made for many shepherds to experience laymen's seminar and lots of time and resources were spent to assist in those pastor's seminars, and the result was very pleasing. ...
