Love Your Neighbor
Whenever I hear this phrase “love your neighbor,” I always say that it is already a cliché. Everyone knows that especially when you are already a Christian. We have been bombarded with sermons, books, preaching, and maybe even counsels on how we ought to love others. Even those people who are not in the faith…

Building Up a Godly Woman’s Character: Minister and Encourage Other Women in the Faith (Part 2)
It is easy to assume that we are walking prudently as godly women. But, I believed that those friends around who know us maybe a better judge. My best friend Marian has known me for more than a decade now. She is already aware of my weaknesses and areas of refinement. We are accountable with…

Finding Beauty in Brokenness
As my feet touched the cold water mildly coming back and forth, I could not help but felt a sudden sigh of relief. It’s weird, but I like the beach because of the water. It is not that I want to swim or wallow, but I love to gaze on the seemingly wide and never-ending…

Our Treasured Idols
Earlier in my Christian journey, when I heard of the word “idols,” I thought of the carved images and statues that I used to worship when I was not yet a believer. When I became a Christian, I knew I have forsaken them. I would confidently say, “I no longer have idols in life.” And…

Honoring God Through Social Media
