Martha VS. Mary

Listening to Jesus is much important than the preparations themselves. In Ephesians, it has been said that 'we were created in Christ Jesus to do good works in which God prepared in advanced for us to do.' It was God who had made the preparations. He has prepared us (the one to do the work) and the WORK itself. God is the One initiating the idea, giving the strength and the opportunity....

Why Eat Kimchi?

At last after two years I was able to taste kimchi again. But then my insides some sort of heated up. Since I experienced gastritis, my stomach overreacts the moment it accommodates what it considers foreign (oo, foreign ang kimchi!). But man, it tastes soooooo good! I tried to research the health benefits of this food (so that I may have reasons to tell my parents when they see me bringing...

Trials

Trials point us upward. Suddenly we'll realize that heaven is our home. After experiencing numerous troubles it dawned on me that God was redirecting my focus from the temporal to the eternal. Sadly, I have loved the world too much. We were made for eternity. Realizing this truth releases in us the enabling power to stand firm in the Lord, knowing that the sufferings we are experiencing here...

Blessings Behind Pain and Injustice

Someone gossiped about you. The one you trust betrayed you. Your close friend abandoned you for another. When we experience things such as these, how do we respond? Do we bury them inside? Do we blame God? Do we look for an escape and go to another place? Do we find a way for revenge? Do we give up on God? In times like these, it's very hard to think straight. You look for someone to...

I learned that its tree is...

These are the books I treasure the most :) This book was given to us by CBS Asia.  I got this through some generous people who donated  to CBS Asia. I only bought this book for 200Php. It's Kuya from CGM who sold this book to me. I used to see him selling books in our seminary and in one of the conferences. I like the way Mark Dever clarified the definition of the Gospel...
