This Is a Reminder That God Goes Before You: (in)courage

 The phone screen lit up. I got a notification.

My flight for tomorrow was rescheduled because of the snowstorm. The message that followed contained the new flight itinerary. After looking at the flight details, my heart began pounding. The travel disruption could lead to a missed medical appointment, and I waited for this appointment for a long time.

For the past few years, I have been struggling with severe spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine that causes pressure on the spinal cord. My life has changed drastically. My back starts to hurt after my body stays in the same position for a long time. I cannot do most of the activities I once enjoyed, including hiking, walking, and working out.

I tried to print out my boarding pass several times at the airport the following day. After a few failed attempts, I asked for help at the check-in counter.

God Speaks Through The Voiceless

We live in a world filled with many different sounds which are critical to our everyday lives. Communication is an important part of our lives. Most of us communicate verbally, and we convey the message via speaking. Hearing a voice can tell a lot about the message. We often take that communication process for granted. 

How Christians Should React to Meghan Markle After New Revelations.

Since the time of the New Testament,Christians have been working out the relationship between unchanging Gospel and current culture. Too often we have been caught in culture to the point of losing the sight of the Gospel. As Christians we should consider carefully our response to the latest information about Meghan Markle. The situation with Meghan provides an opportunity to speak of standards of Christ vs. the world.

Women's role in church and in God's plan.

 In recent years many questioned the role of women in the church. Some said that Biblical principles are not applicable in this day and age, saying that women are free to do. While the Word is clear on manhood and womanhood, some say that these Biblical principles are irrelevant. Fortunately, some organizations are affirming Biblical principles. Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) upholds male and female roles based on Biblical principles. Recently ERLC hosted a webinar – “Why Women are a Vital Part of the Flourishing of the Church”

THANK YOU RAVI...

On May 19th 2020 one of the most famous apologists -- Ravi Zaccharias -- passed away. He left behind a huge legacy. Ravi went to be with the Lord. He traveled all over the world. He went to places where many people couldn't go. In addition, he also written many books about faith. Some of his books became bestsellers.

IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT DID

So, something has happened. I knew that it will happen eventually. It just I didn't expect it to happen so early. I didn't expect it to happen the way it did and the response it generated. However, this taught me a lesson that I need to remind myself of this possibility. I confess I wasn't prepared for the effect of that occurrence.
