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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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? [...]

Page Update Alert

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 7, 2009 | Comments

Hi everyone, there are just so many things to tell all of you but I decided a two-page written testimony will help me get the message across much better. So here is a short page update alert for all of you.
I finally found a good full hour today to let everything that has [...]

Why We Don’t Like Official Ministers

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

When we say “official ministers” we mean ministers who are being officiated by the church because of some moral duties fulfilled and suddenly decides to be part of the ministry field but not necessarily having a pastor’s heart.
Official ministers have the power to dodge the convictions of the Word of God in preaching sessions: [...]

I am an Israelite

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 1, 2009 | Comments

I’m still in the process of digesting all of this at the moment but I would like to share with all of you who come here what I recently discovered.
I am an Israelite.
Yes, I am. If you’ve been with me on Facebook, you may have already read my status messages which I shared in [...]

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, [...]

“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 [...]

Devotions, Bible Studies, Prayer Life in the Family

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

Last night Hazel and I started doing a simple devotion. We just sat on our bed, prayed for guidance then read a portion of Scripture (we read 1 John 3:1-10), and discussed about it. We had no Bible tools, pens or notebooks in hand. We just discussed what we read. And it took us an [...]

Christian Accountability for a Healthier Church

Written by Warren | Posted on May 25, 2009 | Comments

This morning I listened in to White Horse Inn’s podcast (April 5,2009 edition) speaking on Church discipline. They mentioned that in other Churches, elders would visit other members in their homes for some coffee. At the visitation the elder would ask the member(s) if they were blessed with the Sunday preachings. If they think they [...]

Family Fantasizing Day

Written by Warren | Posted on March 31, 2009 | Comments

Yesterday we had the chance to borrow Doc’s car for the afternoon to do some important matters as it was hard to do them all by commuting. Also, we pass through Hazel’s sister and borrowed her daughter Asia for the rest of the afternoon.
For a day we were like a normal family. We have [...]

I Need Work that Pays

Written by Warren | Posted on March 1, 2009 | Comments

This morning at church I was trying to keep my mouth shut. I don’t want to speak anything about theology. I don’t want to think much of them. Two weeks ago I dropped all my ministry activities, kept myself away from books and forced myself to reading the Bible in 30 minutes or less. Though [...]

… because I am just a poor Pinay

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 3, 2009 | Comments

We just had the worst possible two days of our lives.
Warren’s mother spent the last couple of days incessantly barking into Warren’s ears just how unfortunate and disappointing it is for her to have a son like Warren – jobless, poor, wanting to be a pastor and married to a woman she does not [...]

2008: The Year That Was

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 29, 2008 | Comments

As 2009 approaches, I would like to take a quick look back at all the highlights of our Christian walk, marriage and lives in the year 2008.

January – Warren asked for my hand in marriage from my parents on the eve of the new year. He arrived in Pampanga on the morning of December [...]

Two Great Lessons God Has Taught Me This Year

Written by Warren | Posted on December 14, 2008 | Comments

As you read through our blog, you’d probably have this question in mind “is Warren going to be a pastor?” That I can’t still point my finger on it. I’d rather you read on our blogs and you see how God works. I want readers to see God’s work in our lives. How He has [...]

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 [...]

God’s blessed children

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on November 20, 2008 | Comments

I had to wait this long for the adrenaline rush to subside. I had a tremendously trying week and I am just relieved that I am finally looking at a fresh start.
I have not heard from the Department of Social Welfare yet, I have sent them an email regarding the lady who was selling her [...]

Debate with a cult member

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on November 7, 2008 | Comments

I finally found the time to sit here and write about the rest of this post.
So Warren moved the party from the dining table to the living room. Like me, Warren was also, uhm, shall we say a little disconcerted that he did not get to enjoy the chicken that Mom prepared. But then, we [...]
