As I look back at my life I realize that there has been major crossroads in my life. I’m not even sure that “crossroads” is even the right metaphor for this conversation.
By crossroads I mean a moment in life where I was hit with the full frontal brute strength of truth and I knew that [...]
At one point of history, conferences were like the high holy days of the evangelical world. More recently, big conferences with big speakers, big budgets, big budgets, big venues, and big hype seem to be coming to an end. After attending NYWC09, the reality of the death of big conferences seems to be immanent.
I have to say that my first week of seminary has been amazing. It definitely is a lot of work and I’m continually learning how to balance out my studies with my ministry life. Past experience has taught me that it’s a lot like riding a bike – gotta keep moving in order to maintain [...]
This past Friday I had a opportunity of being a guest speaker at the Chinese Christian Alliance Church in Torrance, Ca. I got to talk to the guys in the youth group about sex. But more than just talking about sex, I spent the first half of our conversation addressing the question, “What is a [...]

The church is dedicated [...]

“If I can change. And you can change. EVERYONE can change!”
I guess that’s the power of change. If want things change to take place, often times change [...]
Next week I’m speaking at New Hope’s Youth retreat and in preparation I’ve been looking into what it means to be a worshipper. Coincidentally, tonight we (VOHEMO) had our first Night of Worship where I spent about half an hour talking about what worship is and what I believe our philosophy or worship ought to [...]
Jaeson Ma tweeted this today:

A couple of months ago Joel Comiskey was the keynote speaker for my church’s mission conference. Joel Comiskey is one of the leading researches in the area of small groups and more specifically cell groups. During the mission conference he had a lot of great thoughts which ultimately provoked more questions (but I wrote about [...]
