Emma’s baptism photos and video

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 27, 2009 | Comments

Emma, our household help turned sister in Christ, was baptized last Sunday together with two other youngsters. We just want to share with all of you pictures taken from that “another milestone” in Emma’s Christian walk.

And here’s a short video of the rest of the occasion, it’s cranky in some areas but we think it’s [...]

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. [...]

Spiritual Discipline

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 17, 2009 | Comments

“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? [...]

First time to speak in a study group

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

I was approached by church-mate last Sunday and she asked if I would be available to speak in a bible study group this Thursday. I was taken aback and my immediate response was, “is it an all-girls group?”, apparently it was and she offered the slot to several women in church prior to me but [...]

Forgiveness Equals Restoration

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on May 29, 2009 | Comments

This is just a really quick post and I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to post my thoughts while they are still fresh.
When God sent His Son to die on the cross, our sins were automatically forgiven. And when our sins were forgiven, our relationship with God was also instantly restored.
Thinking about that, I [...]

“Complaining” without ceasing

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on May 29, 2009 | Comments

I realized that during those times I was far from my Lord, it became easier for me to fall into sin. Like I mentioned on my previous post, I failed to look into myself and instead focused on other people’s shortcomings. I could no longer count the many times I complained about other people’s irritating [...]

Examining myself

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on May 27, 2009 | Comments

Remember what I said about me not posting here for reasons even Warren finds “valid”? I’m ready to tell the world about it now.
We all acknowledge the fact that the Christian walk is never easy, we all are aware that it is a consistent fight between the spirit and the flesh and that there are [...]

Do dead children become angels?

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

“When a child dies, he or she will automatically become an angel of God.”
This is common belief, but what is the biblical basis for this claim? Do dead children really turn into angels? If not, then where do their souls go? Why is it important to know the truth behind this claim?
Angels
Angels are spiritual beings [...]

Submitting Joyfully

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

“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands”. – (Ephesians 5: [...]

Fuelling our desires to be better ministers

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 17, 2008 | Comments

It’s just Warren and I again soon.
Our household help will be leaving us this Friday to celebrate the holidays with her family. We’ve known since October that she will be taking a long time off and we have encouraged her to also seek her heart to know if she still wants to work or just [...]

It’s all just starting to sink in

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 14, 2008 | Comments

The reality of Warren’s pursuance of pastoral ministry is just starting to sink in. I have remained quiet about my thoughts on it after getting a confirmation from Phil Johnson that my husband isn’t after all disqualified and that to desire to pastor is “a noble task” that any Godly man must indeed pursue.
Well, last [...]

The need for the Titus 2:3-5 woman

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

The whole week went by in a blur in our little household. Let me see why…
My sister and I launched a different type of food business. Since Chris left me to go solo, I chose not to sell the same thing so instead of fresh market finds, we opted for cooked food instead. It’s doing [...]

Grace

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 10, 2008 | Comments

You remember our neighbor Chris and our small food business? Well, Chris played a big role in the business, he was the one who sold our goods around the village and for a few weeks, we were so dependent on him. We were quite happy to work with him because he proved himself to be [...]

To the unmarried

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 9, 2008 | Comments

1 Corinthians 7: 32- 35:
I was blessed with the opportunity to serve the Lord by ministering to our household help yesterday. Since we moved here in Lara, she hasn’t had a chance to go to church, first because Warren and I spent weekends in Manila when we were still attending DCCC and we could not [...]

Personality Development 101

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 5, 2008 | Comments

Warren and I need re-education badly. Christian Personality Development 101.
We realized over the past days that we have become ticking time bombs always ready to explode at people, our words sting, our actions are rough, we are a perfect bashing duo. Reading our past blog entries, I realize how much we need to grow still, [...]

But we have Christ!

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 4, 2008 | Comments

I was told by a sister in Christ that the women hopes for me to “give our relationship a little more time for it to blossom.”
This was after I have expressed some of my concerns about how I do not see some of our sisters growing in the Lord, how cold and uncaring they seem. [...]

Becoming a Woman After God’s Own Heart

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

I have been ministering to a young mother who is two years younger. She is an unbeliever and over the years her life has become a portrait of disarray, misery, complication and complete chaos. She has borne five children: the eldest from her broken marriage, the second from a relationship she had when her marriage [...]

No comfort zone for Christians

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

Posting this here is not an easy decision to make, but we did it anyway simply because it is the truth, and it is a great part of our Christian walk that we must acknowledge. We are not perfect, far from it, we are still works in progress, and as Warren told me later that [...]

Reality check

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

The other day, Warren and I had a horrible argument about an errand which took longer to finish. I wanted to run the errand on my own but he insisted on coming along with me, so I said “okay”. Instincts tell me that it wasn’t going to be an easy errand to run and that [...]

In my anger, I have sinned

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on November 14, 2008 | Comments

I have transparently blogged every step of the way knowing it is equally important for the readers of this blog (if any) to see through our hearts, if I was confused, you would read and know for sure, if I was happy you will also feel the glow jumping out from the webpage, if I [...]
