God of One

by PH

What is it about us Americans and wanting to impact the world? Everything we do seems to be large scaled. Every organization and even every church wants to impact the world. But what about impacting just one individual? One person! I identify with Francis Chan in his book, “The Forgotten God,” in which he said: […]

Denying Jesus Unknowlingly

by PH

When was the last time you denied Jesus? “Deny Jesus? Never!” might be your answer. And that would be my answer as well. But the fact of the matter is that we are not usually aware that we are denying Jesus when in fact we are. In John 17, the priests and scribes plot to […]

Killing Animals

by PH

Have you ever killed anything? When I was little and living in Korea, someone gave me a knife and told me to kill a chicken that was hanging by its neck on a tree. We were going to eat it for dinner, some adults told us. None of my friends could do it and so […]

True Christian™

by PH

Last week I decided to pay a visit to the church I grew up in, just to see how things are going (and nothing wrong with double the dose of praise and sermon!). While the experience was mostly positive, getting to see old friends, I noticed that for some reason I was trying to fight […]

steps to being centrally focused

by PH

Good morning everyone, Philippians 3:14-15-I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. It is no doubt that in our country […]
