Determined Destiny

by PH

One of the most troubling question regarding Christian faith is that of God’s sovereignty vs. men’s free will. The Bible no doubt affirms God’s sovereignty. God is in control absolutely down to the number of hair every single individual on earth should have. That means that God predetermines that some will go to hell. (Rom […]

Your Future Self

by PH

Do you feel defeated? Like a loser who can’t do anything right? And you are sure that God will not continue to love you because you have failed Him so often? And perhaps, you are ready to let go of Him because He cannot possibly keep loving a loser like you? When God sees you, […]

Precious Cargo

by PH

We had a get together with a family friend yesterday, and I noticed the mini-vans parked in the driveway driven by these families with young kids, including ours. I like my mini-van and I take care of it but only because of what it carries inside – my family. It is a vehicle for our […]

Our Best vs. God’s Best

by PH

Adam was our champion. He was the best of us. He could do everything better than we could. And he represented us. But he lost miserably. He was no match for Satan. I used to resent Adam for putting us in this sinful condition we are in. “Only if he had not sinned, we wouldn’t […]

Invincible

by PH

What if you could not die? Yes, what if you were invincible? Kind of like Superman, except you have no weakness. No fall, no piercing, no aging, no lack of food, no disease can kill you. You are absolutely invincible. How would you then live your life? What of your worries? What of your concerns? […]

The Way That He Loves…

by PH

I grew up in a culture where competition was fierce and you proved your worth by standing out among the crowd. There is little wonder why S. Korea ranks among the very top when it comes to math and science acumen in the students. They had to perform in order to survive…. It is so […]

What We Need

by PH

It is so easy to take things for granted in the United States. As I am preparing for a trip to a third-world country, I’m forcing myself to think of things I will have to do without. Running water. Bed. Refrigerator. Car. TV. Internet. Laundry machine. Shoes. Let me stop there. This list will be […]

Heavenly Grandfather???

by PH

Love without justice is mockery. Have you ever seen a spoiled brat who thinks he deserves the best? To love him and to give him more would be mockery. He wouldn’t even recognize it as love. But have you ever treated nicely those who knew they didn’t deserve to be treated as such? They see […]

Freedom in Commitments!

by PH

* Sorry this is one day late. Thanks to some for pointing out that I failed to send it out yesterday! =) We don’t like to make commitments because they take away our freedom. Once we commit ourselves to something, we are stuck with that decision and are not free to do other things. So, […]
