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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Are You a Facebook Christian?

Written by Warren | Posted on August 26, 2009 | Comments

Just remove the name tag “I’m a Christian” then he/she’s immediately blended with the colours of this world. No difference. There are folks that I wouldn’t know they’re pastors unless they professed it. They even speak and use certain Christian terms, and of course, preach them in the pulpit. But just remove the name tag [...]

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.

The New World Order

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

I use Google Alerts to update me with the current situation on the New World Order (NWO). It is very interesting to see how many opinions rose up against this concept. It seems that no one is happy about the idea except the Government. But because of the Swine Flu from Mexico, the mass wouldn’t [...]

Our Day-off Date

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on April 20, 2009 | Comments

Hi everyone! I was just telling Warren this morning about how I miss writing here and the reasons for not doing so lately. He thinks my reasons are valid. I am still trying to make up my mind on whether I should tell y’all or not, but while I am on that, I [...]

According to Jim Chapter Three

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

You want to see something that’s terribly, terribly heartbreaking? In a minute, I will be showing you a video which I saw from Phil Johnson, he posted the link to it on Facebook and I tell you, first 30 seconds and my stomach started lurching. I could not believe I am hearing words like “fart”, [...]

Facebook and You

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

There’s too much noise going on about facebook recently and incidentally, several Christian blogs have come up with articles against the leading social networking website. I know that this post will fan some flames but I just have to write it.
I’ve come across a few blogs whose authors have decided to leave facebook because they [...]

“You’re Special”

Written by Warren | Posted on February 12, 2009 | Comments

This is a funny clip I came across over YouTube.

Sadly, many churches adapt to this idea thinking that their purpose on earth is making people feel good.

Osteen Is Plain Heresy-filled

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 30, 2008 | Comments

I just found out my friend reads Joel Osteen. How cool is that?
Seriously, I met up with her a few days back and she was clutching an Osteen book – Live Your Best Life Now – and I wanted so much to steal the book away from her and dump it in the nearest dumpster. Apparently, [...]

Our Neighbor Chris

Written by Warren | Posted on November 4, 2008 | Comments

Our neighbor, Chris, is a jobless husband.
Farming at his own backyard to feed his family, he would sometimes provide us with some of his harvested vegetables especially during days when we had no money to buy food. He learned his farming skills from his dad who is a farmer by profession. He was also our [...]

Making His Holy Name Shine

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

Warren gave a speech on his bestfriend’s wedding and his speech went this way:
Ayan and I go a long way back. I met him in 3rd grade in a basketball court and we’ve become friends since.
One of the most admirable traits Ayan possesses is his boldness of character, he is always unafraid to speak his [...]

Teammate

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

Warren told me about a blog he read yesterday, to which I credit today’s post to. Pity I do not know the aforementioned blog’s URL or I would have at least linked it here.
Anyway, my husband mentioned that the blogger wrote about Christians who hate each other despite the fact that they are all on [...]

Release to Us Barabbas

Written by Warren | Posted on August 23, 2008 | Comments

we’d rather see a murderer run on the streets, risking the lives of many, perhaps even our own children’s lives
than to hear the man speak of the truth concerning our sins
it is a price that we’re willing to pay
we don’t even look at the price tag
but we are certain that it is worth it
and we [...]

Fueling each other

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 12, 2008 | Comments

Warren and I just got home from Manila where we ministered as photographer and blogger/writer for the very first Expositor’s Workshop. Five American and three Filipino pastors will mentor those who attended the workshop in becoming effective, equipped and capable expositors.
It was a blessing for Warren and I to be there, we witnessed about forty [...]

“Sound” Advise?

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

I cannot help but feel incensed when I happen to read blog posts that disseminate false, ignorant and blasphemous information. What really irritates me more is when they use their blogs as vehicles for promoting their insolent notions.
Take for example one blogger who advised her readers to read the bible in context, she said that [...]

Snippets of life in the land of “calm”

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

It is refreshing to be in the company of like-minded people after a gruelling week of battling it out and being in the midst of unbelievers.
Warren and I expressed this while we rode the bus to church last Sunday, and then Pastor Larry mentioned it, too while we were having lunch later that morning. I [...]
