Sola Scriptura!

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on September 30, 2009 | Comments

I just got off Facebook, mercifully, unscathed after an exchange with a Catholic priest. I did not mean to engage him in a debacle of words but he seemed to think that I was and golly, the fangs! He was almost raving mad about my stand on sola scriptura. I have not read much books [...]

5 Ways on How to Spot a Fake Christian

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

The list was originally by John MacArthur (except the 5th) taken from his book: Hard to Believe on page 99. The title of the chapter is “Empty Words.” For the sake of the readers, I will try my best to paraphrase and simplify it more for easier reading. The list is somewhat not official, I’m [...]

Consequences of Having Non-Believers in the Body of Believers

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

We are in our second month since we started our daily morning devotions with the family and neighbors. Some however have not professed their faith in Christ. Neither do we see fruits or struggles from them to turn from their sins. This has affected our Bible studies greatly. First of all, not all are Christians. [...]

Be Pure, Be Wise

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

So says the tag-line of one popular Christian blogger on his blogsite. The Bible tells us that we can only be pure by living according to His Word:
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. (Psalms 119:9;NIV)
Reading daily the Bible is like carrying a lamp with you in [...]

The Importance of Prayer

Written by Warren | Posted on September 18, 2009 | Comments

As we grow in Christ, the more we become sensitive to sin. The more we sin, the more our relationship with God is being damaged. And being Christians, it is natural for us to work out that relationship.
Each time I know I will be facing a problem or tribulation in life, the main thing I [...]

Do All Things Really Work for Good?

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

Many people use this verse to comfort themselves in times of trouble:
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
As if God has a grand plan for our life here on earth. False preachers (or prosperity gospel preachers [...]

The Generation Self

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

After reading this post, I became emotional and angry at how the Churches are being built nowadays. It is sad witnessing and knowing that some Christians out there who want to grow in Christ just couldn’t simply because of peer pressure. We are living in a society where we worship no one but ourselves. Narcissist [...]

Women: Porn is healthy!

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on September 12, 2009 | Comments

I am…. livid. Yeah, I am livid. And aghast, repulsed and scandalized.
But then, I am also deeply, terribly saddened. And in grief.
I recently joined a mommy group (non-Christian with a few Christian members) and have been quite active in the forums, especially on the Christian groups forums where I get to share CH Spurgeon’s Morning [...]

My Discipler

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

This week I was expressing my rants to Hazel concerning my need of a discipler. I was worried to think that who will rebuke me if ever I did something wrong? Who will teach me and train me to be godly? Who will say whether what I did was right or wrong? I even expressed [...]

Meeting the Samaritan Woman

Written by Warren | Posted on September 5, 2009 | Comments

There is a couple that we’re currently ministering to, whom we happen to love dearly, that reminds us a lot of the Samaritan woman. The couple, because of their sin, hide themselves from society. Initially, when they approached us, they were looking for a religion that would accept them because of their condition. But I [...]

An encounter with the “Samaritan Woman”

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on September 5, 2009 | Comments

The very first time they came to us to seek counsel and to request that we minister to them the Word, I instantly had a feeling that we have a post-modern Samaritan woman sitting in front of us. Well, not just one, but two “Samaritan women” actually.
This couple had always wondered what it will be [...]
