Enlightenment
We share big and small enlightenments we have in our daily lives, walking with God.

Work Done by God’s Power

Revering God the Mother

Father’s Hometown
“When we get a chance, I want to go visit my hometown with you all.” My father used to say this all the time. Whenever he said that, my sister and I would always answer indifferently, “Okay. Let’s go some day.” It took a long time for “that some day”…

Whether They Listen or Fail to Listen

Demonstration of God’s Love
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Ro 5:8 No one would dare to die for someone else. It’s even harder to give up one’s life for a sinner. However, there is One who demonstrated His sure love…

Son Who Looks Just Like Dad

That’s Something Everyone Can Do

We Are All Parts of One Body
