I want to direct you to a new website that has been started by a handful of women in our church. It was fueled by some women who were talking with Christina on a particular women’s issue. Their discussion was in the context of the church and supposedly they got inspired to start something and […]
Relationship Series for ACCESS
It is that time of the year again. A time where there are questions, complaints, loneliness, doubts, and the list goes on and on. Whenever February 14th is around the corner and the weather gets nicer, people begin to struggle with the topic of opposite sex relationships. As I am seeing […]
Relationships and Missions
It is amazing to see the difference between the worldviews of the Islamic world and the Western world. In fact, this is one of the reasons why some people in the Islamic world hate the West so much. All the “junk” in the media (T.V. shows, pornography, Hollywood, etc) epitomizes the wanton and licentious lifestyle […]
Lenten Season 2008
Many of you probably heard by now that today is the start of Lent. Even though Lent has not been observed very much by Christ-followers, there seems to be a growing number of people who are seeing the benefits of it and are now practicing it. The Lenten season (six-weeks before Easter) is a time […]
Prayer Summit 2008 Update 2
This morning I took some time to reflect as I looked out from the conference center into the beautiful lake. I keep on forgetting how much I enjoy quiet moments in nature. It is really inspiring for me. It helps me get connected to God as I thinking about God’s Greatness through all of His […]
Prayer Summit 2008
Pastor Andrew and I are at the P.A.C.T (Pastors’ Alliance for County Transformation) Prayer Summit. This is an annual prayer summit where the pastors in Washtenaw County gather together to pray and seek the Lord. Due to my doctoral studies, I haven’t been able to attend the last couple of prayer summits; therefore it has […]
Determination Dominates
I have never heard of Dax Crum before until recently. He plays Division-I basketball at Southern Utah University. But the interesting part of Crum is that he was born without a full right hand. He just has a small finger that sticks out near his wrist. His whole life is a […]
Super Bowl XLII
The big day is finally here. There are some interesting articles floating around on the world wide web about who is going to win the Super Bowl. But the ESPN article on Tom Brady is quite interesting. Sometimes when a person is on top, it is easy for people to forget that they did not […]
Blind-Sided Sermon Series
We are starting up a whole new series for the next 2 weeks. The pastoral staff and I decided to do a series called, “Blind-Sided.” This word often comes up in the context of sports when a quarterback gets hit from the side where he is unaware of the in-coming tackle. […]
Double Dipping
I have a confession to make. Since my parents wanted me to retain some of my Korean heritage, they raised me with some of the Korean culture and values. Therefore, I have never before thought about the issue of double dipping. In fact, I had no idea what that was until someone blurted out “Yuck, […]
An Alumni Blessing
It is always good to reconnect with our HMCC alumni. There are times when I wonder if some of the graduates from our church are living a life of transformation. Ever since the start of our church, we have always been committed to “transforming lives and transforming the world.” This is why it is always […]
