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 [...]

An encounter with the “Samaritan Woman”

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on September 5, 2009 | Comments

The very first time they came to us to seek counsel and to request that we minister to them the Word, I instantly had a feeling that we have a post-modern Samaritan woman sitting in front of us. Well, not just one, but two “Samaritan women” actually.
This couple had always wondered what it will be [...]

Are we rightfully obedient Christians?

“By this we know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commandments” – 1 John 2:3

(An afterthought to Warren’s post titled Miracle)
My husband’s blog early today made me see clearly how he sees me.
Yesterday, during the Ladies Fellowship in church, I sat there looking at the different faces of my women church-mates and I wondered, “What makes me deserving to be a part of this group? What have I done [...]

My Jealous God

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on March 6, 2008 | Comments

I grew up “knowing” God.
Growing up in a Catholic setting, I was practically spoon-fed with stories of God’s overflowing love for mankind, his merciful nature, his kindness, patience for sinners, tolerance for man’s sinful nature, his loving ways and his pure heart.
