A Mother's Day Lesson from a Sermon and a Song

♪♪ 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)

Can a person be saved from his sins by the prayers of others?

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)

Brainwashed Blind Follower?

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)

I Hate to Be Single, but I Still Have to Wait!

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)

Another Suggestion for NYers Who Want to Ban Balut in NY

I just recently understood why the NYer animal rights activists want to ban balut in their state. I believe that the actual reason behind this is the fact that common sense is exponentially becoming a very scarce commodity in America... or pretty much, in this progressivistic world.

So, to the animal (... więcej)

Why Can't the Rich Be Satisfied with Their Money?

“Why can’t the rich people just be satisfied with the money that they have?”, a friend asked in Facebook.

First of all, this is not to generalize that all rich people are greedy. We’re not discounting the possibility that there are actually rich people who wish they can’t get any (... więcej)

To The New Yorkers Who Hate Our Street Delicacy Called 'Balut'

Let me get this right. So, aborting a human fetus is a woman's right, but cooking an underdeveloped duckling is wrong? Seriously, American liberals?

Okay, so when we Christians and conservatives protest against abortion, you'll say, "That's just a clump of tissue." Oh, well. (... więcej)

About Repentance - My Own Renewed View of It

Repentance is not only a matter of what one should turn from but also of Whom one should turn to. For repentance is a redirection of what the heart wants or so desires from something to something else. In it, the heart changes its course of direction and makes a half round turn from its former way; for (... więcej)

Should We Fear Death?

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)

The Value of Life

I remember a time when my Mom asked me to play my song on her phone. After playing it, I jokingly asked her, "So now, you love hip-hop?" She frankly replied (well, she's an Ilocana, so it's very natural that she would), "No, I hate [hip-hop]. I only listened to this song because (... więcej)
