Written by Warren | Posted on August 27, 2008 | Comments

======================================================
NOTE: this blog post below is my wrong interpretation of disqualification. please note the strikethroughs. do read the response of Phil Johnson on this issue.
i was lead to believe that I was disqualified for life because of what I did in the past. but this disqualification issue is applicable for current leaders only. and i [...]

Test the Spirit

Written by Warren | Posted on August 27, 2008 | Comments

the length of age is not a measuring rod to measure the spiritual maturity of the Christian
Elihu rightly said…
“I said ‘Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’ But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.” Job 32:7-8 (ESV)
many people, especially those who have earned many years [...]

Teammate

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 27, 2008 | Comments

Warren told me about a blog he read yesterday, to which I credit today’s post to. Pity I do not know the aforementioned blog’s URL or I would have at least linked it here.
Anyway, my husband mentioned that the blogger wrote about Christians who hate each other despite the fact that they are all on [...]

Normal

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 25, 2008 | Comments

I am so relieved to hear from my OB Gynecologist (well, officially, she is now my doctor, lol!) that my uterus is normal.
All possibilities of cysts, tumors, fibroids or abnormalities were ruled out today after the transvaginal, it seemed to have taken forever, but as soon as she announced that I have normal reproductive organs, [...]

Preaching the Same Word

Written by Warren | Posted on August 25, 2008 | Comments

but we’re getting different responses
and based on our experiences
there are only 2 kinds of responses
its either a yes or a no
and we didn’t add or subtract to our messages
its just the same content
nor do we believe that it depends on the listener’s moods

Release to Us Barabbas

Written by Warren | Posted on August 23, 2008 | Comments

we’d rather see a murderer run on the streets, risking the lives of many, perhaps even our own children’s lives
than to hear the man speak of the truth concerning our sins
it is a price that we’re willing to pay
we don’t even look at the price tag
but we are certain that it is worth it
and we [...]

We finally did it!

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 22, 2008 | Comments

Something really unexpected happened yesterday and today.
Warren and I were sitting out on the street yesterday watching some neighborhood kids play when from out of nowhere, I heard my husband whisper something. I thought I misheard him so I asked him to say it again, he shyly looked away and smiled. I prodded until finally [...]

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 21, 2008 | Comments

It totally slipped my mind that yesterday was a Wednesday. I was supposed to text in our thanksgiving prayers to Pastor Larry, if we could not listen in to the ongoing prayer meeting. I must really be getting old… Lol.
Anyway, I will just post everything here…

John MacArthur on “Judge Not”

Written by Warren | Posted on August 21, 2008 | Comments

most of us might encounter the phrase “hey didnt the bible say dont judge?”
everytime we correct a person
funny looking at the situation when in fact theyre already pracitising judging the moment they felt me “judging” them
listen to what John MacArthur has to say on this issue

Fellowship

Written by Warren | Posted on August 20, 2008 | Comments

or Koinonia meaning partnership, participation, social intercourse
fellowship with the Church is about fellowship in the gospel
you cant have Christian fellowship if you do not put the gospel as your common ground
saying “this is my belief, and thats your belief, but we’re still friends” is not fellowship, this is compromising
“For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?” [...]

It’s Anarchy Without Him

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 18, 2008 | Comments

The argument between me and Warren the other night gave me a glimpse of what our marriage would be like without Christ – I tell yah, it would be ANARCHY!
Yup, it will be a chaotic union between two people who are so concerned with their pride more than the Word that sustains them as humans, [...]

The Gospel is Offensive

Written by Warren | Posted on August 14, 2008 | Comments

no matter what you do
if you’re speaking the gospel
they will ridicule you
they will speak all kinds of evil against you
they will persecute you if they had the chance
you offended their pride
the pride that they are trying to protect
using a shield that has these words written on it “do not judge me fool!”
who are you to [...]

An Evolution in Preaching the Word

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 13, 2008 | Comments

Still on the Expositor’s Workshop, it was fun to be around pastors for two days and have opportunities to fellowship with some of them. It was refreshing to be surrounded by men of God who strive to equip themselves further in effectively advocating the Word of God. I have seen a handful of pastors who, [...]

The Regenerated Man: Are You Saved?

Written by Warren | Posted on August 13, 2008 | Comments

the Christian must produce fruits
it is not a command
it is a declaration
if you are a Christian, you will produce fruits
“As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another [...]

O Brother Where Art Thou?

Written by Warren | Posted on August 13, 2008 | Comments

Pastor Samuel Uytanlet walked out of one of the conferences (Shepherd’s Conference) headed by our pastor after being confronted of the PDL quack 3yrs ago
not that he doesnt disagree with the PDL quack 100%
