Sun, Moon, & Praising God.

by PH

How you caught the glimpse of the eclipse today? A lot of people are making a big deal out of it. Our family also went to PLU this morning  to catch a glimpse of it, and there was a huge crowd gathered to experience it together. And when I turned on the TV, American people […]

Adopted and Approved!

by PH

The country of my birth, South Korea, is one of the leading countries in giving its children up for adoption.

Why We Worship Celebrities…

by PH

Have you noticed how we are just looking for someone to worship? Watching a documentary on Princess Diana on ABC, I am reminded once again how prone to worship we human beings are. The only problem is that we worship human beings. So many of the TV shows and even social media are based on this […]

by LD

2 Corinthians 5:14-15–For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. Throughout history there have […]

When God Feels Far…

by PH

Do you sometimes feel like God is hiding from you? That, He is nowhere to be found? Or a thought occurs to you that maybe He’s not really there at all? God knows and understand that. Even a godly man like David felt at times that God wasn’t there for him. “Why, O Lord, do […]
