I’m a fan of John Piper’s sermons and books, but I thought the link below is a hilarious audio re-mix of him.   It’s just for humor, by the way.  (I wish to add, though, that the original context of his quote was probably on the doctrine of Total Depravity and how, apart from God’s saving & [...]

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful lady named Susannah… She met a godly prince named Charles. Mmm, okay, maybe it’s not the type of prince one thinks of when reading fairy-tales, but nevertheless it’s the Prince of Preachers, Charles Spurgeon. Ha ha… Okay, I admit I’m not much of a story-teller, so I [...]

Charles Spurgeon is my all-time favorite preacher.  The following writing comes from Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional classic and is such a good reminder for me to not merely look back to my past devotions (or simply return to the beginning stage of my spiritual growth), but to move forward and grow beyond.

 “Oh that I were as in months past.”
Job [...]

A while back I read a wonderful allegory titled “The Garden” that teaches singles about the virtues of purity and chastity especially prior to marriage.  Unfortunately nowadays chastity seems to be a rare trait to find, so it’s always encouraging to hear real-life godly courtship stories or inspiring allegories like the following below!

(an excerpt from Her [...]

I have a new book I really like recently titled Walking From East to West: God in the Shadows.  It’s an autobiography of Dr. Ravi Zacharias, who is a world-renowned Christian thinker and apologist.  I sat reading this book just this past summer under the uncomfortable heat and humidity of a 3-digit temperature, but finished it in [...]

The Arminian lady retorts, “And you must be Will cause you’re so free with compliments.”
 

(Too bad it misspelled the word “Arminian,” though.)

I found a wonderful challenge addressed to Christian women written by John Piper (I copied & pasted the list below).  The article is very timely for me, because it reminds yet again to get back to the basics — to not be so distracted by many less important things, but focus on fewer things that truly matter [...]

Okay, I’ve narrowed down my choices on churches I’m considering.  I thought I’d list them here for my convenience.

First Orthodox Presbyterian Church of Sunnyvale (OPC) – 38 mins
Covenant Presbyterian Church (OPC) in San Jose - 42 mins
Trinity United Reformed Church (URCNA) of Walnut Creek - 32 mins
Covenant Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Berkeley – 25 mins
Providence OP Chapel [...]

I’m in the process of looking for a solid Bible-teaching church that’s Reformed or Calvinistic in its theological persuasions which I could call my “church home.”  I’m excited to find a new church family.  (I lean toward a Presbyterian church for now, though I’m sort of on the fence between credobaptism and paedobaptism.) 
I’ve been searching online for some church websites, [...]

I’ve been watching U.S. Open tennis on television on and off this week.  I love tennis.  I enjoy the sport, though I may not be very good at it.  I’m actually better at the other tennis.  I mean, the one on the table.   It’s just unfortunate we don’t see table tennis matches on television.  According to [...]
