Being under someone’s control could either be suffocating or liberating. 6th grade. Korea. School. Being under a mean teacher’s control was suffocating. He was a tyrant. He beat us with sticks. He had no sympathy. I hated being under his control and couldn’t wait to get out from underneath. 8 years old. Korea. Home. Being […]
Good morning everyone, Luke 9:58-And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

I am astonished to find again and again how utterly self-centered I truly am! But being a Christian means to change from being self-centered to God-centered. Let me share one such instance.

What do these things have in common? 1. Rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy. 2. Sporting events such as NBA, NFL, MLB. 3. Technological advancements. 4. Mega churches. 5. Military fortification Give up?
