I am noticing a trend among evangelical Christians lately that demolishes the efficiency and growth of Christian individuals. Although I’ve read several books by John MacArthur warning me of the downward spiral of Christendom, I still am surprised and sad since I started noticing it. My dear brother and friend also has the same concern [...]

Hazel and I agreed that we’d take the advocacy for adoption to the next level. Hazel sent various emails to various individuals of whom we thought could help us make people more aware of the state of adoption in our country. At the same time I began to think whether this mission of ours is [...]

We were able to do devotions last night and tonight. Discussed on loving one another. We all felt guilty for our lack of love towards another. We pray that we may grow in the love of Christ that the world may know that we truly are His disciples (John 13:35).
Inspite of our continuous debt, by [...]

Yesterday, my friend didn’t show up for us to do a Biblestudy together. This morning he passed by and apologized confessing that he fell asleep. I pray that next time we meet, I would be able to discuss with him concerning the gospel. After I’ve invited him, I started to look at others as well. [...]

Last night I was not able to lead our devotions. We watched a movie instead. I have to confess, these past months we are undergoing severe trials. Probably the worst one in my marriage life. We have huge amount of debts to various individuals and groups. Some I cannot expect to pay back. Some are [...]

Last night was able to do our family devotion. Though it wasn’t well delivered nor much conviction on my part. Also, I wasn’t able to do anything productive today. For me to be able to maintain our devotions, I must discipline my body. Make it obey and if I have to drag myself literally to [...]

The Lord is gracious. My proposed devotion finally materialized last night. Although I continue to pray that we do it as regular as possible. Struggling to know God is a continuous battle for me and for any Christian. And I praise God that He continues to speak to us thru His Word.
Earlier this morning I [...]

My proposed daily devotions with the family has not manifested yet. Although I had various informal discussions with my wife. Still, I prefer to have a bit more formal setting such as gathering together and have our focus on studying than anticipating whatever business might occur to distract our attentions.
Reading is even more challenging. Having [...]

Yesterday received news that two of the people I preached the gospel to and professed faith turned their backs and went to their old religion. They claimed they understood the gospel. This is a case of apostasy: they know the gospel and the work of Christ but they purposedfully reject it. I’m praying that the [...]

Where we live now is somewhat laid back as compared to living in Manila. Most of the neighbors here know each other at least by reputation. And they do greet each other. There were several instances that people whom we don’t know would just call for Tommy whenever we pass them by. The neighborhood is [...]

Tommy’s Way of Rebuking Me

Written by Warren | Posted on January 1, 2010 | Comments

Adopting a child, like having one of your own, is never easy. There are moments, as usual, when Tommy would do something that would disappoint me. And there are moments when I, the other “I” which is my depraved nature, would react in a very unchristan manner. I would observe my reactions, and though I [...]

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 [...]

Lack of Christian Resources in Pampanga

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

There is only one Christian bookstore in the whole of Pampanga (Angeles and San Fernando city) namely Philippine Christian Bookstore (PCBS). I’ve visited the place several times already. Each time I went I would ask the sales lady “where is the theology section?” and she would point me to the center of the room. Seeing [...]

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. [...]

Maximizing Our Honesty Scale

Written by Warren | Posted on June 21, 2009 | Comments

Funny how Hazel and I think alike. She mentioned that for the past few weeks she was stressed out of not being able to express herself fully in her blogging for the reason of eyes-on-walls that are ever-ready to criticize. She is beginning to feel that this blog is owned by these critics. But 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 [...]

Loosing the Battle

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

Ever had that moment wherein you don’t understand scriptures anymore? Well I’m currently undergoing in such a phase for more than a week already. First I quit ministry, then I quit reading books, skipping devotional readings automatically followed. Whenever I would read, nothing is getting in my head. I thought I was stressed out because [...]

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 [...]
