Warren and Hazel Interviewed by the DSWD Yesterday

Written by Warren | Posted on July 29, 2009 | Comments

We were interviewed yesterday by a representative from DSWD concerning the adoption of a child. We were discussing on adopting a few weeks ago in response to our spiritual conviction on making disciples of all nations. I’m not sure if I would be excited or scared about it. Probably more scared because of the possible [...]

Encouragement From Brothers and Sisters

Written by Warren | Posted on July 25, 2009 | Comments

This week we had many brothers and sisters (both abroad and from our local church) who prayed for us. We thank you so much for your prayers, support, and forgiveness.
This morning alone we had some visitors as well comforting us. And again, even after I made the apology, my tongue got loose and said [...]

God Wants Us to be Naked Before Him (part 2 of 2)

Written by Warren | Posted on July 24, 2009 | Comments

We know that God would deal with our hearts when we’re in sin to discipline us. But sometimes God would even strip off the things we normally see as pleasing to Him. Our ministry – people who hear the Word of God through us. Our reputation – people who saw our life as blameless. Our [...]

God Wants Us to be Naked Before Him (part 1 of 2)

Written by Warren | Posted on July 24, 2009 | Comments

“Who told you that you were naked?” Genesis 3:11
In the midst of all this, and with the help of other brothers by the grace of God, I learned that in becoming a Christian, you become more and more naked in front of Him. I thought I was already naked enough, but God still continues to [...]

Down

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 23, 2009 | Comments

Folks, following some comments made on some of our blog entries and Warren’s public apology, we decided to take down said offensive blog entries due to the following reasons:
1. Our site meter continues to soar. I woke up at 6:30 AM today and checked our stats, it announced 35 readers. At around noon, almost 70. [...]

Public Apology

Written by Warren | Posted on July 22, 2009 | Comments

The Lord is certainly dealing with me for these past days. Several folks from our church expressed their concerns because my words are too offensive. At first, I wanted to justify my acts and try to defend my case. But soon, after I consulted with others, they did say that it was offensive. It was [...]

Adoption

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 21, 2009 | Comments

“…our adoption shows us just how welcome we are here. This is not, after all, the first time, God has adopted. Too often we assume that the Gentiles are the “adopted” children of God, and the Jews are the “natural-born” children. But Paul says that Israel was adopted too (Rom. 9:4). Of Israel, God once [...]

The Light Shines in Calulut Baptist Church

Written by Warren | Posted on July 19, 2009 | Comments

Preaching this evening by Doc was wild. I’m not sure about the others. But I felt for the first time that I couldn’t take my ears off of the message. The text was on Luke 15, the prodigal son, again, on its 4th time. But the delivery was uniquely done. So amazing how rich the [...]

Occupying the hindmost place

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 18, 2009 | Comments

“They shall go hindmost with their standards.” — Numbers 2:31
The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same [...]

Spiritual Discipline

“I am content to fill a little space if God be glorified.” – Susannah Wesley

How does one ignore the everyday pressing need to keep the house organized? How does one ignore the dishes? The laundry? The computer? Facebook? The adorable pets? The screaming children? The meals that need to be cooked and served? The television? [...]

Why You Shouldn’t Have a TV at Home

Written by Warren | Posted on July 16, 2009 | Comments

Since Hazel and I got married, we never bothered purchasing a TV at home. Most folks couldn’t live without TV in their home. But to us it is a wise choice. We’ve been officially disconnected from TV for 1 year and 5 months.
Normally we work between 8am to 5pm. And sleep by 10-11pm. Between 5-9pm, [...]

The Gospel is for Sinners

Written by Warren | Posted on July 14, 2009 | Comments

Many people think that the gospel is for non-believers only. Meaning, Christians who already professed faith in Christ don’t need to hear it anymore. This is wrong. Jesus said “I have come to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Note that He did not say that He calls the non-believers. Nor is Scripture [...]

The Holiness of God’s Word: A Quote From C.H.Spurgeon

Written by Warren | Posted on July 14, 2009 | Comments

(note: This would be my first time ever to make a quote. This quote is from Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional book.)
======================================================
“If thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.” – Exodus 20:25
God’s altar was to be built of unhewn stones, that no trace of human skill or labour might be seen [...]

How to Evangelize for Shy People

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

I would like to use Emma’s testimony as an example on evangelizing. She’s been a Christian for only less than a month and yet she can’t avoid not mentioning how she got saved to our neighbor. She’s already established some relationship with our neighbor even before she professed faith. I’m not sure about the details [...]

Make A Prayer List for the Whole Household

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

We love our white board. We have a big white board hanging on our wall. In it we have lists of prayer concerns both thanksgiving and prayer requests. It’s in our living room so whenever we’d relax there we’d see the list and would inspire us to prayer.
Visitors would also find this encouraging because [...]

Fact: Christians Evangelize

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

If you don’t have love for Christ, it becomes easier to ignore the obligation to evangelize. But when the Christian’s love grows in grace, it becomes natural to evangelize. In fact, it becomes hard to avoid mentioning the grace of God. I believe that evangelism is the hardest thing for a non-Christian to do. They [...]

God Doesn’t Bless Us On Earth Because We Have Done Anything Good

Written by Warren | Posted on July 9, 2009 | Comments

For to say such would completely nullify the concept of justification. Justification means we became righteous in the sight of God because of what Christ did. Jesus said “I came to fulfill the law.” So Jesus did the righteous deeds, followed all the law that was written in the Old Testament, and it was labeled [...]

What Do You Think the State of the Church Today?

Written by Warren | Posted on July 8, 2009 | Comments

I know this video is quite outdated, but still many Churches are being sucked in to the narcissistic view. What about you? What do you think the state of YOUR Church today? Does this relate to you? Leave your response here.

Hi everyone, there are just so many things to tell all of you but I decided a two-page written testimony will help me get the message across much better. So here is a short page update alert for all of you.
I finally found a good full hour today to let everything that has [...]
