When the unexplainable meets the undeniable

May 10th, 2010 | By Sean | Category: God and Faith

This is a summary of Andy Stanley’s message “Unexplainable vs. Undeniable”

I can’t explain God. But I serve a God that is greater than what I can fit in my
little bitty box … or your box … or our boxes combined!



Holy procrastination

Apr 13th, 2010 | By Sean | Category: God and Faith

Ever heard the phrase, ‘delayed obedience is disobedience’? I’m sure we all have – most especially when we were little kids. Holy procrastination (as I’d like to call it) is a habit that sticks to us even when we’re all grown up.



Incomplete faith is stupidity

Jan 26th, 2010 | By Sean | Category: God and Faith

Ever heard the phrase “Have faith?” I’m sure that we’ve been through that phrase in our life more than once. Faith is such a disturbing thing. People hate it because some people abuse it’s existence – they become lazy, they lose out in life, they don’t walk their talk, and so many other things. People like that have incomplete faith which is, to put it bluntly, outright stupid.



Denying the power of godliness

Jan 11th, 2010 | By Sean | Category: God and Faith

2 Timothy 3:5 “They will have a form of godliness but denying its power.” I stumbled upon this verse during my quiet time. It bothered me and I had to read a lot of versions to get it right. I have my own insights for denying godliness as it is said in this verse and I wish to share it with you.

Sin is a word which all of us humans have. Everyone knows it and everyone, unfortunately, sins. So what’s up with sin if everyone has it anyway?



Getting rain drenched. Walking through the discomfort

Nov 4th, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and Faith

Ever got yourself in a tough situation where you ask yourself “I know God can take me through this. If only I had enough faith!” or “Will God allow me to get through this unscathed?” Well I was just in a situation like that today.



If indeed God “saved” us, why did He do it?

Oct 26th, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and You

Why did God save us?

Why send His one and only beloved Son down to Earth to suffer and die for us?

Doesn’t it seem just for God to just leave us be because of our everyday desire for our own selfish pleasure rooted in our sinful nature?
