A year of shapings, moldings and blessings

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 5, 2010 | Comments

It has been customary for me to write a “the year that was” every first week or so of every new year. The intention is to summarize the highlights of the past year in our lives — Christian walk, marriage, self —, it is sort of a year-end report kind of thing and usually, there’s [...]

Souls transformed by the Gospel

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on November 4, 2009 | Comments

For almost four months now, Warren and I have been ministering to our neighbors and a month ago, after three months of daily devotions, Saturday in depth Bible Studies and Sunday fellowships, they finally came to know Jesus Christ.
What joy it is to witness the transformation that only God’s powerful hands can do to their [...]

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 [...]

May the Lord raise up leaders.

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 [...]

Teampyro on White Horse Inn

Written by Warren | Posted on August 27, 2009 | Comments

For the first time (I think) Teampyro made a post about White Horse Inn. Particularly in response to one of their Podcast session last 14 June 2009 entitled “God’s Story vs. Our Stories.” In the post of Frank Turk (one of the Teampyro group), he mentioned that Michael Horton was emphasizing on grace and failed [...]

How to Share the Gospel in the Office

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

Find a colleague in your department or company who would be interested in studying the Bible. He/she might be a professing Christian or genuine or just interested. The colleague might have ulterior motives such as to get your favor, or to justify his sins, or to simply entertain him/herself with Bible trivias to impress someone. [...]

You love theology, don’t you? Well, listen to this…

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 22, 2009 | Comments

Does it matter much to you that you be surrounded only by “like-minded” people? Are you someone that is hard to get along with because you have certain standards theology-wise? Are you that person who, when not on common grounds with another Christian theologically-speaking, is quick to jump the gun and say, “…you are not [...]

Traditions

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 13, 2009 | Comments

“Change produces discomfort.” Indeed.
A Florida church and its current pastor is currently going through “tough times” as some six members are petitioning for his removal because, according to this news report, the pastor is effecting changes on the church which would make them turn their backs on their age-old traditions. The new pastor and those [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Father’s Day Pity Party

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on June 22, 2009 | Comments

We started out with the service wearing bright,happy faces, sang worship songs, sat through the preliminaries and yes, even through the whole preaching, unaffected and “just fine” except for that part when Dr. Supan said “we have here people who are unable to bear children and they cry out to the Lord, ‘Lord, Lord, give [...]

Father’s day blues?

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

This morning, a dear friend and brother asked me if I would be sad for Warren this Father’s Day. I stopped dead in my tracks in an attempt to digest the question, would I be so callous if I’d say I won’t be? But, that is how I feel. I won’t feel sad for Warren, [...]

So Many Things to Do in Such Little Time

Written by Warren | Posted on June 3, 2009 | Comments

Hazel and I have been discussing a lot for the past weeks on certain projects we wanted to pursue however we can’t do them all while our hands are stuck in our day jobs. Here is a list of things that we wanted to venture on:
* Vlogging – I’ve been searching for Christian vlogs for [...]

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 [...]

According to Plan

Written by Warren | Posted on May 7, 2009 | Comments

Lately we’ve been pretty busy with work. It was stressful for us for these past few weeks. But at least we are seeing progress. I’m getting a stable job. Hazel is also doing good with her part time work. We are also starting to venture on several internet businesses. All for the purpose of rebounding [...]

Hebrews: Christ-Centered Message

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

I was reading through Hebrews since yesterday and felt like I was reading from the notes of a Christ-centered preacher. Each time the author of Hebrews would mention a character or event (e.g. Abraham, Moses, Melchizedek) he would then lead us to someone better: Jesus Christ. The author of Hebrews is showing us that the [...]
