Time Off

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 26, 2009 | Comments

Warren and I are taking some time off from blogging while we await the reinstallation of our internet connection. We apologize for not letting you know ahead of time, things just started happening and there wasn’t enough time to give you all a heads up.
Last week, we moved to a new apartment and we’ve been [...]

Public Apology

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 16, 2009 | Comments

I would like to issue this public apology to those I have offended when I published my post titled ‘Bits and Pieces From My Corner’, particularly brethren whose consciences may have been offended and most importantly, my in-laws, who are the direct parties concerned.
I realize that I have hurt you for my lack of [...]

First Time Preaching

Written by Warren | Posted on January 15, 2009 | Comments

Last night as I stepped on the podium, my hands were so cold as ice. I expressed to the pew that I was so nervous. So I continued on with my message. The text was in 1 Corinthians 1:4-10. I would have to say that the first half of the session was so difficult. I [...]

Bits and Pieces From My Corner

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 14, 2009 | Comments

Okay, I am not going to keep silent any longer than I am supposed to. I need to write something, so here goes.
I have not been around posting stories lately because my brain is just as cluttered as our house is at the moment. We got a house full of boxes and to get from [...]

Christ Centered Preaching

Written by Warren | Posted on January 13, 2009 | Comments

You may have noticed in our blog posts that we usually promote John MacArthur materials. I’ve been listening to GTY for years since high school. And I was so proud of our former church in Manila because it is a great promoter of John MacArthur and his ministry in the Philippines. I used to express [...]

The Pharisee Within

Written by Warren | Posted on January 11, 2009 | Comments

Warning: The following texts you will be reading are graphic and might lead you to more confusion if you do not have a firm foundation in Christ. This post is a response to Hazel’s last post.The following texts are a display of how Pharisaical people think. The supporting verses here are all out of context [...]

Here’s a seven part video of an American family who are known for their rather disturbing and ultra-radical doctrine.
Try to watch the first part and let’s see if you could go on and finish all seven. Have fun!

Choosing My Career Paths

Written by Warren | Posted on January 10, 2009 | Comments

Next week we will be moving (again) somewhere nearer our local church. We’ve stayed here in our place for just about 3 months. Since the gospel was not welcomed here, and after much prayer, we thought that it would be best if we move elsewhere. Now the question remains whether or not we would want [...]

If Only

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 9, 2009 | Comments

The photo above shows what Metro Manila looked like today.
According to the news, almost a million Catholics flocked to the Quirino Grandstand to hear mass and participate in the procession, which lasted thirteen hours, in commemoration of the feast of the Black Nazarene.
Last night, I could not help but feel heartsick as I watched people gather in Luneta to wait for Friday morning. Thousands patiently waited in [...]

The Devil Took Jesus

Written by Warren | Posted on January 7, 2009 | Comments

“the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.” Matthew 4:8 (ESV)
Jesus allowed the Devil (or Satan) to take Him. Jesus knew that wherever the Devil would take Him, that He have the Scriptures in defense. That each time the Devil would tempt [...]

Balancing Act

Written by Warren | Posted on January 6, 2009 | Comments

Seeing my wife work while I sit there studying is just uncomfortable. While studying theology is both work and pleasure, I would still feel sense of guilt realizing my wife working around the house while I get all the fun. Thus I would be distracted in my studies by my own mind. How do I [...]

… because I am just a poor Pinay

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 3, 2009 | Comments

We just had the worst possible two days of our lives.
Warren’s mother spent the last couple of days incessantly barking into Warren’s ears just how unfortunate and disappointing it is for her to have a son like Warren – jobless, poor, wanting to be a pastor and married to a woman she does not [...]

To be a Sunday School Teacher

Written by Warren | Posted on January 1, 2009 | Comments

A few days ago I was invited to teach Sunday School for a church in Betis (somewhere in the more suburban area) this coming Sunday. Doc, being my discipler, endorsed me to his close buddy that is in need of leaders for their church in Betis. The church in Betis is a daughter church that [...]
