Why Fireproof was a Great Movie!

If you haven’t seen the movie Fireproof, you should! The movie portrays the life of a married couple, Caleb and Katherine. They are caught in sin and about to get “an ugly divorce.” The movie depicts gospel truth, showing the need for the gospel to break through hard hearts before relational healing and peace is [...]

Orlando 2008 – Peacemaker Conference

I finally have a moment to report to you my experience at the Peacemaker Conference and marriage mediation training. Having never been to Florida, I was happy to enjoy the long daylight hours and glad that it was not too hot and humid in late September. The trip was refreshing, reminding me about the centrality [...]

Reflections Upon Taking the Virginia Bar Exam

- There are over 1,500 want-to-be lawyers in Virginia. – There are a lot of Asians in the ‘L’ section. (We sat alphabetically.) – The Virginia Bar Exam covers a lot of material but the two days go by really fast. – “I am in Christ.” My identity is based on my being ‘in Christ,’ [...]

Rest in the Storm

If ever there is a period in my life of monumental changes, it is now. In 5 days I will be graduating from Liberty University School of Law. In 12 days, I will be wed to Kerrie Anne. In the next month, I will have finished my 40-page jurisprudence paper on surrogate mothers, secured a [...]

Light and Life vs. Death and Darkness

Eliot Spitzer, the governor of NY, is being scandalized by claims of involvement with prostitution. While parties are innocent until proven guilty, the evidence seems hard to beat. Picture the darkness and sin that drives the players: the prostitute, the ring leader, the client. Each has sinful lusts and desires gone out of control, which [...]

Money and the Christ of Comfort

The Scene: I return home from a busy day of attending classes and studying. I desire rest and peace, relaxation, and a safe shelter after a long day of work. After a few minutes of surfing the net, I find myself faced with a choice point: to check my stocks or…? I decide that on [...]

The Mormons are Coming

The Mormons are coming to speak with me again. I conversed with two young Mormon lads last week. The grace that Mormons preach is no grace at all. I pity their sad state. They have no assurance of salvation. They are working their butts off to “merit grace.” To suppose that whatever God requireth of [...]

Praise the Lord!

God often reminds us of His grandeur by presenting us with pleasant surprises in life. I get hit by His provisions in life and am reminded of how much I have to praise God for. Every good and perfect gift is from above, from our heavenly Father. Yesterday, I thought our numbers for Bible Study [...]

Is She the One?

Many of you singles want to walk in wisdom when considering marriage. I thank God for your attitude. It’s a great attitude to have. I’d like to share with you something I read, lest we get cold feet for marriage… Here is Elisabeth Eliot’s reply to a young man who kept falling in and out [...]

I Thank My God for You

In Philippians, Paul starts out by saying: “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you!” Lately, I’ve been reminded of the depth of relationships Christians can have because we are “in Christ.” We are in Christ. With God’s love, peace, and grace, our fellowship with one another should be a great source of [...]
