The Story of Compassion
On February - 24 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
I just love the Compassion blog. There are so many great stories of people's lives, which inspire and challenge me. Today was no exception. The latest post has a video of how Compassion got started.
As a Korean myself, I am evermore grateful towards people such as Everett Swanson and the American missionaries who gave their tears and lives for their love of Korea. It is because of these people… [....]

Thank you to Brian Eberly for bringing the following video of Hillsong United to my attention. My heart cries for shame and weeps at the blatant thievery these people have been subjected to.... by me.

IHOP is a forerunner ministry where prayer and worship continues 24hrs, 7 days a week in Kansas City. It's been 3 years since I went to the IHOP (International House of Prayer) Onething Conference and one thing I can say for sure is that you cannot leave as a lukewarm Christian.
IHOP ignites a huge flame and the ointment of the Holy Spirit just boils within you. You may enter as… [....]

What would you do if...
a 30 year old man knocked on your door tomorrow and without any introduction told you to "follow him"? Would you immediately drop everything and leave your family without a word?
a man is giving a sermon in front of thousands and then asked you to run down to the nearest supermarket, buy a few pounds of fish and some loaves of bread because it was lunch… [....]
Does Jesus Know You?

A simple question someone could ask you is "do you know Jesus?". But the answer to this question is useless. The underlying truth cannot be determined with this question. The question that we really need to be able to answer is "does Jesus know you?".
If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)
For the lukewarm Christians, does… [....]
Family Devotions
On February - 17 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
It has been 136 days since my wife and I got married. We've also had 136 family devotions and it all began after the ceremony. The day after our wedding, the pastor gave us homework for each night of our honeymoon. We were to start reading from 1 John and that's what we started doing from our first night on our honeymoon. We would read and share our thoughts and… [....]
Compassion: Sponsor a Child in Jesus Name

In a previous post, I mentioned that my wife and I are not financially well off or even stable at the moment. However, instead of worrying, getting stressed and fighting over bills and finances, we are free from the burden that money has on many people. I give all thanks to God for this. He personally showed us that by trusting and obeying Him, He will provide.
Keep your… [....]

Today is Valentines day and here are 10 things on what women want from their men. From what I've learnt over the years of dating and months of marriage, my wife is the same. Thankfully, I learnt this early on and have been applying it since.
When I was growing up, I never received much compliments, encouragement or affection from my parents. My dad believed that complimenting me too often… [....]
God and Money

My wife and I got married in Korea and we decided not to throw another reception party when we got back as our expenses were out of control. But once we returned one of my wife's friend started criticizing and scolding her for being disrespectful to our friends and elders. She didn't even consider our situation (one job, school & credit card debt, honeymoon debt...), we felt hurt and angry… [....]
God Made This Day

Had a rough day today but thankfully instead of complaining and whining, I remembered a verse from our family devotion yesterday.
This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
As bad as the day may get, God made the day for a reason. I don't understand why but in due time he will let me know. Until then, there is a need to… [....]
