Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 13 lutego 2013
(Read Psalm 79)
Let me share to you a short story that I once constructed in my mind some months ago. I actually am about to write it down as a literary work but totally forgot about it. But now that the Word of God reminded me of it, I have now put them here in letters.
There was once a wise (... więcej)

(original script written in 10/25/2015)
If your heart finds the earthly things more desirable than God, God can give it over to them and let you perish with them. But if being enlighened by the truth, you find God exceedingly desirable and you find pleasure in fellowshiping with Him, He shall dwell (... więcej)

The poem "In Our Own Eden: A Prince's Song To His Young Wife" is another reflective work that I wrote for Song of Solomon, after 'Love And Purity.' It shows the beauty of sex within the boundaries of marriage, as God designed it to be.
"Let marriage be held in honor (... więcej)

To every lady out there,
A blessed day to you, sister!
Before anything else, I want you to know how much I appreciate that God made you. For me, you are one of the most special creations that God made in this world. Why do I say so? Remember the story of creation? In the (... więcej)

Just to keep it real, I don't consider myself a feminist. As a matter of fact, I still consider myself a conservative in spite of my hatred towards legalism and hyper-traditionalism. But it's just that I am so marveled at the beauty that God has made in the entire creation. And what I admire (... więcej)

* "Salvation is not a license to sin. A true Christian will continue to do good work, as Christians are not only appointed by God to be saved but they are also appointed to do good works before the foundation of the world. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 7 lipca 2015
The Trinitarian nature of God (i.e., God existing in three equally Divine Persons, and yet being one God) just one of the incomprehensible teachings in Biblical orthodoxy - meaning, no human mind (which is just finite and therefore limited) can fully comprehend this teaching. As it is written in Deuteronomy (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 2 lipca 2015
Somebody asked, "Why take so much interest in theology when you're just a children's department teacher? You're not a pastor, are you?"
First of all, in my humble opinion, I think that question is a bit of nonsense. To say that only pastors should study theology is somewhat (... więcej)

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
- John 1:17, KJV
The law, which was given to Israel through Moses, presented strict yet just rules for men. It demands justice and shows no mercy to the violator.
But grace and truth, which were given to (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 21 czerwca 2015
As I start to write this composition, I honestly don't know what to say here. Hmmm... Should I start by saying, "Happy Fathers' Day, Dad"? Or, "I love you, Dad and God bless you"?
Nonsense. First of all, Dad won't be seeing this post for the simple reason that he (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 19 stycznia 2015
As an underground contemporary Christian music (particularly, hip-hop) artist, I believe that Christians have a right to do so. And I also believe that only a spirit of legalism would tell him that rock is of the devil and therefore Christians shouldn't listen to it.
The Bible says "The (... więcej)

As most of those who are acquainted wth me knows, I was a terrible porn addict when I was younger. And as a former porn addict, I believe I have the legitimacy to say that porn is NOT for real men.
But then, what is my definition of "being a real man" at the first place? As a Christian, (... więcej)

Let's say I am a citizen of a kingdom that is under traditional type of monarchy. And I am one of the king's closest friends.
Now, I have a brother who is a rebel. And because I love him, I sent petitions to the king, asking him to grant my brother an amnesty. As my close friend, the king (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 27 marca 2015
I believe that only those who do not know what life is should fear death.
First of all, if a person would only observe the diversities in life, he should be convinced that there is one God Who created it. This should cause him to have a conscientious feeling that he might be offending this God in (... więcej)

When I was a little boy, I had a habit of browsing my elder brothers’ textbooks to look for anything interesting to read. I remember seeing a drawing of a dog in one of those textbooks. The dog had a bone clamped in its mouth as it stares at its reflection through a probably deep river. Under the picture (... więcej)

Part III: Final Thoughts - When In Trouble
It has been said that if being a Christian doesn't cost you anything, then you are probably not being a Christian at all. So true is this saying, for truly following Christ will surely involve facing toils, hardships, persecutions, and troubles.

(Read Psalm 27:13-14)
I remember a scene from a film about Alexander the Great’s life where he caught one of his soldiers sleeping at the time of his duty.
After waking up the soldier, the king asked the him of his name. And then it happened that King Alexander found out his soldier’s (... więcej)

The perfectly loving God doesn't just love mercy - He also loves justice and righteousness (Jeremiah 9:24). God already made a way for sinners to be forgiven and be redeemed from the curse of sin through the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross - and this is how the perfect mercy, perfect justice, (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 2 lutego 2013
(Read 1 Corinthians 1:27-31, 2:1-5)
As one who has interest in history and literature, I sometimes find myself being fascinated by the famous speeches of some great statesmen of the world history. I would admire them for the words of wisdom that they used and for the convincing effect of their speeches (... więcej)

(8/21/2015)
God, Who are You in this life of mine?
You are the very Source of it. You are the Creator of all things, and none of all that began to exist existed apart from Your wonderful and unimaginable power of creation. From the farthest stars in the heavens to the abysmal depths of the (... więcej)

Passage: Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7
Memory Text: Psalm 8:5-6
Have you ever thought about your real worth?
We humans are the most special creations of God among all His creations. We are so special to Him that Jesus once mentioned the worth of a single soul is greater than all the riches of this world (... więcej)

Part II: The Church Persecuted
A. Great troubles happen to the church usually when great things are happening to it.
- When the church was born, many great things happened to it: (a) the baptism in the Holy Spirit of the believers (Acts 2:1-11, 9: 17-18, 10:44), (b) the sudden and continuous (... więcej)

Part I: Background - General Insights from Acts 9-12
A. Where the word of God is preached, the Holy Spirit moves with power.
- Jesus told us not to be anxious with what to say when we proclaim His testimony but just let the His Spirit give the right words to our mouth (Mark 13:11b)
- It (... więcej)

I was reviewing my Sunday school lesson for September 20, 2015 and the passage that I was meditating on was Mark 5:21-43. To be honest, I was tempted to settle with simply teaching my young pupils that Jesus is the Miracle Maker. But as I was meditating on the passage, I was reminded of these four wonderful (... więcej)

Before you accuse me of being brainwashed by these people that you call "churchians," please know that I was once like you people who had so many doubts with Christianity.
I tell you what - I grew up in an ideally disappointing Evangelical family. With that kind of environment, I have (... więcej)

♪♪ When was the last time you said, "I'm sorry"?
When was the last time you said, "I love you"? ♪♪
This was the song that played in my mind as I was hearing a sermon in the church. The pastor asked the congregation in her sermon, "When was the last time you (... więcej)

Just keeping it real, it kinda' pisses me off when somebody passes a chain message to me which says, "Share this and you will have good luck; ignore this and you will have bad luck." And what would piss me off all the more is that those who share things like that to me are... *sighs* grown (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 27 kwietnia 2015
A man that I deeply respect once said that "A happy wife equals a happy life." Well, he's married; so obviously, I believe him in that statement.
Problem is, that statement makes me hate the fact that I'm single. To be honest, I want to experience those joyfully painful headaches (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 30 maja 2015
I read the Bible and learned that God wants to perfect us.
Let's be clear there. I'm not saying God wants us to be perfect or else He'll not love us - that's called legalism. What I'm trying to say is, God, in His great loving kindness for us, wants to perfect us by His grace. (... więcej)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 13 czerwca 2015
Somebody asked, "If money is the root of all evil, was it money that caused the devil to be evil? If it was, how was it possible when there weren't yet any form of money in existence back then?"
Actually, it's not the money itself that is the root of all kinds of evil. Because (... więcej)
