It hurts how our sinful nature distorts and disfigures the Word so we can be even more sinful!
Sorry But No Selfie With You!
Corinth was one of the cities that Paul traveled to. From his two letters which are included in the canon as 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians, we can tell that Paul invested so much of his energy and time on the church of Corinth. We learn from the Book Acts that, after he established churches in Macedonia — Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea (Acts 16-17), Paul traveled to Corinth for the first time in his second missionary journey. We also learn that Paul not only established a church in Corinth but stayed there for two years. So, the church of Corinth is like Paul’s child. He loves the people of God in Corinth.

“Go, Call Your Husband”
I love reading the word of God! Yes, I do! And it is very hard for me to pick one favorite story of the Bible because I think I love them all equally. Continue reading “Go, Call Your Husband”
Forgive!
It is easy to receive forgiveness when we desperately seek it, right?
If God is the One we wronged, we quickly go to Him and ask His forgiveness. Then as His word says, we feel FREE from the guilt and condemnation of sin.
“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:8-9 NASB Continue reading Forgive!

She Cheated On Me Three Times
A4P Guest: My plan since I was a child is to get married when I turn 25. I am a born-again Christian man and I am dating a 22-year old girl. She is a born-again Christian too. I am 24 years old now. So, if things go well, I plan to get married next summer. Unfortunately, I found out that the girl I am dating has cheated on me.
A4P: Oh, no! I’m so sorry this happened to you. How did you find out? Did she confess or you caught her? Continue reading She Cheated On Me Three Times
Life Given By God’s Grace and Mercy
Have you ever been in a cemetery? I hope you have; and have you read what was in each tombstone? I have. And this catches my attention every time I read what is on somebody’s tombstone: Continue reading Life Given By God’s Grace and Mercy
A Boyfriend or A Husband?
A4P Guest: I am a born again Christian. And I’m seeing a born again Christian man I met through a common friend. We both are 27-year olds – he is three months older than me. I love him very much and he loves me too. After we started dating, he joined my church so we see each other at least three or four times a week. We get along just fine but sometimes I feel like he competes with me.
A4P: What does that mean? Give me a specific example so I understand what exactly you’re saying. Continue reading A Boyfriend or A Husband?
Your God Is Too Small
Somebody told me a title of a book called “Your God is too Small” by J. B. Phillips. You have no idea how excited I am to read it but not now since I have some books that I need to read and catch up.
For some reason though, the title of the book triggered in my mind many questions, questions such as, Is my God too small? What does that even mean? How big is my God? How would I know?
If you already read the book, forgive me for saying anything about the book I haven’t read but I think it is a book on concepts we humans make of God by our own imaginations and carnal and sinful natures and how those concepts are tooooooo far away from the truth. Continue reading Your God Is Too Small
“God’s Gymnasium”
Who among us would enjoy pain and sufferings?
Not I! I mean, if I am not exaggerating, we all want to avoid pain and sufferings, right?
We go to school and try to find a good paying job for what? To avoid “any lack” in our lives. In a way, we look for a “suffering-free” or comfortable life, whatever that means for each one of us. And this is true for all of us whether we follow Christ or not.
Some Christians genuinely believe that sufferings are reserved for those who reject Christ but is that so scripturally? Continue reading “God’s Gymnasium”
