knowledge and humility.
I was just sitting in class today and I realized that I am learning something that probably any of my friends back home in California are not taking or will probably never take. Not that they have to, they have different passions than me. But, I realized how dangerous this knowledge could be. I need to know the value of this knowledge but not spread it as if I am the only one who knows it....
the book of Ezekiel
is absolutely fantastic.
loving BITH 443 with Dr. Block.
please pray for me.
my classes are a little bit insane. making me a little bit insane as well.
but praise God for two things: one, I didn’t get into the class that I was dying to get into. New Testament with Burge. Though I hear endless positive feedback about this certain class and prof. I also heard he is extremely hard. I am also taking two other extremely hard bible classes. (One of them: Hebrew Exegesis...

It's been long. Let's catch up.
heck yeah it’s been long, but to be honest I just haven’t found the desire to write posts lately. I guess I haven’t had the longing to share online because I have been sharing a lot in real life. Or there hasn’t been much to share haha. But Christmas is in a week and the week after will be New Year’s Eve. The year will come to an end soon.
And like any other year I...

How He.
One of the things God has been showing me lately is how great He is. Whether it be through chapel, songs, Jesus times, other people’s spew on their revelation of the amazing Word, and/or my own revelations. Everything has been showing me what an amazing, absolutely awesome, drop-dead wonderful and gorgeous, jaw-dropping fantastically magnificent God truly is. And led me to realize. That it...
Anonymous asked: why are you so cool?!
There are moments in my life where I declare a certain song “MY SONG.” However, it never lasts more than a month or so because there are so many other good songs out there. But one song that will always ring true in my heart, despite all the things I went through, going through, will go through is God is So Good. It’s a simple song. It’s a true song. It’s the right...
Burning Bush.
For quite some time, God has been reminding me of the burning bush that Moses encountered. At first I thought it was because I absolute love Moses (he’s a thug) and the encounter he had with the burning bush was an important. It was a meeting of his commission from God. As I kept pondering upon the burning bush, I came to a really obvious conclusion that I should have known before (I am very...

All day, every day, a Christian should be in a posture to learn. Listen with humility. Do not assume you have it all correct. But do not be gullible. How? Hold fast to your foundation; the Word of God.
I am such a lazy person…
so good. so so good.
“but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they...
Thug.
“Work plunges men into the world of things. The Christian steps out of the world of brotherly encounter into the world of impersonal things, the “it”; and this new encounter frees him for objectivity; for the “it”-world is only an instrument in the hand of God for the purification of Christians from all self-centeredness and self-seeking. The work of the world can be...

Master or mastered
Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. (John 13:13)
To have a master and to be mastered is not the same thing. To have a master means that there is one who knows me better than I know myself, one who is closer than a friend, one who fathoms the remotest abyss of my heart and satisfies it, one who has brought me into the secure sense that he has met and solved every perplexity...
It’s grace and grace alone. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the thought that God is so good. I get chills down my back. My soul is refreshed. It is like a deep breath for my soul. It is good to just take 30 seconds to remind yourself that God is good.
9/11
Above all, remember, God is still good. Grieve for the lost, but rejoice in God’s sovereignty and goodness.
We are meant to be His.
So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place. (Genesis 2:21 NASB)
There was one other being (in my recollection) in the Bible who had it’s side open. Jesus Christ.
but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water (John 19:34 NASB)

121 days. I finished ESV Bible from Genesis 1 to Revelations 22. Thank you God, you alone pushed me and kept reminded me of my commitment. Though I was 31 days over my goal, you still blessed me incredibly.
At the end of my freshmen year in college, I made a commitment to God to follow a Bible in 90 days plan. Unfortunately I was 31 days over. It was also my summer “project”....

I guess its time to tell people where I am at considering that most people know by now the sudden changes in my life. I’m living in Philadelphia now in a mansion by the grace of God…. true story.

Sometimes i get really really excited for something. Currently, the highest hype is the song More Than Ashes by Merchant Band. Seriously, I am going to kill it because of the amount of repeats I am putting it on. But, this song has been just so good. I share with people because it is like a fire inside me and I love sharing songs. However, I can never fully understand someone’s level of...

Wheaton 2nd year beginnings.
It’s only been like 3 days. But i got this conviction at day one. I shared this with my dear brother Sang Hyuck. I was really let down, but God encouraged me. I realized I have nothing to offer. If I have a talent, someone else has it better than me. I cannot boast in my knowledge of the Bible or God because I am really nothing compared to scholars here in Wheaton. I don’t have...

Dear CHC Fambam.
I take my leave for Illinois and Wheaton College tomorrow Tuesday August 16, 2011 around 7 am Pacific Time. My heart is torn, on one side I can’t wait to go back and learn more and have more adventures. On the other hand, it is so hard to leave so many people I love in Cali. Most of the people I love are from CHC. You guys have warmly welcomed me in to your church this past summer. Thank you...

This father underestimated God’s power. He questioned His authority. My first reaction is...

Old Testament.
Old Testament is amazing. I love the Old Testament with all my heart. I thoroughly enjoyed it (I just finished it). Too many Christian put the emphasis on the New Testament. Too many. They are lacking so much when they neglect the Old Testament. Yes, I know, it is so confusing and boring at times (I fell asleep A LOT when it was describing laws and specifications of the Tabernacle and the Temple)....

“True and great leaders are led by Christ.”
break my heart for what breaks yours.
God revealed to me something new about this statement. The new knowledge and revelation of it helped me understand what I am really asking God; basically this statement went to a new level. It’s new to me, haha, but it might not be new to you. If it is, then I hope this blesses you. If not, then God bless you for you already have been given knowledge!

” ‘The world has yet to see what God can do with, and for, and through, and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him.’
He [D. L. Moody] thought to himself: ‘He did not say a great man, or a learned man, or a rich man, or an eloquent man, or a clever man; simply a man. Well, I am a man. It lies with the man himself whether he will or will not make that full and...
Returning back to school
Surprisingly I have been thinking a lot about going back. Early this summer, I was dying to go back. Now, I have made such an amazing bond with some CHC people that my heart is torn. It feels like the end of high school again. Also, I think it is because the majority of my close ones in Wheaton already graduated. I have been having a good feeling about this school year, a lot of dreams and goals...
