Broken Mindset

If you are a Christian, I encourage you to pray for God’s leading into finding a church that will push you out of your comfort zone and can be a venue where you can grow more on your understanding of who God is and how He can work in your life and the lives of [...]

“I want to be independent!” says my friend. “I want to achieve my career goals because I have worked hard for it and not because somebody placed me in position because we are friends.” I admire those words. In this age of shortcuts, you seldom see people willing to work hard and earn their way [...]

I just finished watching the movie Argo by Ben Affleck. It’s a film about the escape of 6 diplomats held hostage in Iran during the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. It won several accolades including best picture in the 85th Academy Awards. I highly recommend for you to watch it. The frantic suspense of this historical [...]

I was inviting a friend the other day for an out of town trip this coming Good Friday- we will be going to a mountain resort where we could just have time to reflect and thank God for His goodness. My friend was willing and excited but he was not allowed by his father to [...]

I have seen quite some argument on the internet lately and some people kept on reiterating that “Christians did not invent morals”.

The famous “doubting Thomas” did this when his story was told in John 20:24-29. Many would say that Thomas should have just shut up and believed, but I think the story happened [...]

<start of imaginary story> Pastor’s Christian friend: “You shouldn’t do that! What if they asked your occupation and find out you are a pastor!?” <end of imaginary story> I was thinking to myself awhile ago, why do the spiritual leaders, the pastors, the priests, the lay ministers, the full-time church workers, carry this burden of [...]

It feels weird writing this on a weekday, but hey they say I can’t “work” on a Sabbath. The mysterious 7th day that the bible always talks about and some Christians like me may never really, fully understand. But let me share with you some of the thoughts I gathered recently about this subject. So [...]

I am a systematic person. I loves rules! I’m the kind who, sometimes, wouldn’t raise a finger unless some rule is formed for me to do so. I think rules organizes things and pushes us to do better. It creates discipline too. I like the idea of religion. Religion offers me sets of rules that [...]
