못생긴 나무가 산을 지킨다.

My ex-neighbor died a couple days ago because of a heart attack. His wife found him sitting on the bathroom floor unexpectedly. It's hard enough when one expects such tragedy, and I could see it in her eyes that she was truly, truly heartbroken. She kept repeating the phrase, "I know God's in control, but..." and it really hit the spot in my heart.

I wonder how I would react to hardships that seem overwhelming at the time. I've always viewed struggles as blessings from God, but sometimes I wonder if I'll just breakdown and start seeing the very opposite. I think since God is the cause, He is definitely subject to blame. Blame as in crying in pain as a child to a father, hoping that he would somehow ease the pain and give understanding rather than cursing or pouring hatred. Will I turn to God for guidance or will I fall?

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

Sovereign Father, this promise brings me immeasurable peace, humility, and joy. You’re vitally engaged in determining and directing every one of our steps. You’re working all things together after the counsel of your will. You’re working in all things for your glory and for our good. You open doors no man can shut and you shut doors no man can open. Indeed, you’re no mere life coach, you’re the Lord of all things… including me.

Many years I labored under the arrogance and anxiety of assuming that if I prayed hard enough and long enough… that if I was really filled with and “tuned” into the Holy Spirit, I could know the specifics of your will for my life… well in advance of any decision that needed to be made. Of course, my assumption was that if I was in your will, life would be enjoyable, pleasant and hassle-free.

If I bought the right car, it would never break down…If I bought the right house, the roof would never leak… If I married the right person, we would never disagree… If I went to the right college I’d get the right job and life would be all-right... If I sent my kids to the right school, they would never act out and would end up on the mission field. If all of this was true, I wouldn’t really need you.

Father, you’re certainly honored when we work hard to make good plans, in keeping with our understanding of the Scriptures. It’s important for us to seek and heed, wise prayerful counsel of good and godly friends. But help us to live with more confidence that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, not a consulting partner… a very present Lord, not an absentee landlord… the reigning King, not an impotent bystander. Because of Jesus, I’m confident your will is being done… on earth as it is in heaven.

Free us to accept that many times your will leads to great suffering and pain. It’s called the cross. But the cross and resurrection go together. Hallelujah! What a most glorious and gracious Father you are. So very Amen, we pray, in Jesus’ exalted and very present name.

THE UNIVERSE IS STRANGER THAN YOU REALIZE.

Sometimes, it's important to just tell ourselves to just STOP IT. I've had a good discussion with a friend couple days ago, and he's been telling me some of his struggles. He's been praying for God's strength, but failed to realized that much of what he does needs to be stopped by no other than himself.

I think if we truly understand God's grace and treated it as seriously as we should, much of our struggles can be easily dealt with. God's grace shows us his commitment and because He commits so much into our lives, He expects us to do the same thing. In the Old Testament, He required men to be circumcised as signs to show that they've accepted the will of the Father. But that's what exactly God expects from us. Accepting God's grace also means that we're required to give everything that we have to Him, and the Bible tells us that in the most obvious way. It's gross, but what God required for His men back in the Old Testament is one of the most graphic and painful ways to show they're committed...look up flint-stones on google (ouch).

That thought really got me thinking about how I should approach asking God for forgiveness and favors. It's easy to ask God to give you strength, wisdom, knowledge, and power. How much of what we lack is due to laziness? Whatever is that you are doing wrong, STOP IT.


blahhhh blah blah blah. k done.

"In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth." Genesis 1:1

Ever think of how crazy that verse is? That was really the beginning of it all for us, for all forms of life. Without that verse, everything in the Bible after is just words speaking nonsense. Without that verse, the Bible would have no purpose, and people would have nothing to look forward to or hope for.


Just a random thought for the day:)

I've been spending a lot of my time in the engine lab on my campus the past couple of days fixing, breaking, and putting together a race car for the school. I have absolutely no clue what's going on and what I'm supposed to do, but I enjoy my time there doing what I've always wanted to do as a little kid. It's the first time when I was not afraid to fail, and everything seems just right in that place.

What a random post. Don't read it...kind of late huh?

An interesting blog from Professor Carl Trueman from Westminster:)

I confess that I am reeling from the fact that, at an age when I was still reading books with titles like Biggles Beats the Boche and comics where crowds of German soldiers, screaming words like `Achtung! Achtung!' and `Ze Britisher peegs must die!' were regularly massacred in hails of bullets fired from guns held by chipper British Tommies, Liam was reading Barth. A twelve year old reading Barth, for pity's sake!?! That kind of thing should get your parents reported to the social services.

Still, here's a thought (or a small collection of them). In class the other day, I was talking about Luther's veritable annihilation of the sacred-secular divide in his Appeal to the German Nobility of 1520, and it caused me to spend a few moments reflecting on the whole notion of `the Christian mind' and the idea of the `Christian life and world view.'

Whenever I reflect on this, my mind goes back to the summer of 1987, when I spent a few months working on a production line in a local factory. 8 till 4:30 every day; an environment so noisy that headphones were highly desirable, if not quite legally required; and work so repetitive that I had hoped to spend the time doing some thinking; but as the noise killed the possibility of conversation, so the potential danger of not focusing on the machinery at hand prevented meaningful meditation on beautiful themes.

For me, the job was a means to an end: I wanted to earn the money to spend a month self-indulgently bumming around Morocco with a backpack and a couple of friends in order to `find myself.' The amazing thing was that, at the end of the trip, I had indeed `found myself,' and, surprise, surprise, it turned out that I had never really been lost but had been here all the time! Surprising as it may seem, I was located in the space between the soles of my feet and the top of my head. Amazing. In retrospect, I could just as easily have `found myself,' whilst at the same time saving all the money I earned in the factory, if I had just stayed home that September and gazed at my own navel; but, that being conceded, I would have missed out on the delights of having a drink in Casablanca at a bar called `Rick's' (hey, aren't they all?), seeing snake charmers and holy men in action in Marrakesh, and, most memorable of all, finding an alien toe nail of dubious provenance and odd pigmentation at the bottom of a Diet Coke I had just finished. Strange how some memories stay with you for life.

I hated the factory job: it was boring, mindless, dirty, and grim; but it was temporary, brief, and a means to an end. It also changed my way of thinking: some years later, I was driving past the factory at clocking off time and then I saw them, the same people I had worked with that summer, filing out of the factory gate and hurrying home. Then the obvious hit me: what had been a drudge for me for a few months was real life for these people. It gave them their only income. They were not slumming it for a season to finance some fatuous but fun pilgrimage of self-discovery; this was who they were, each and very day, year in, year out..

The juxtaposition of their situation and my own had a striking affect on me. It was, humanly speaking, mere time and chance that had meant I had a relatively decent IQ and was born into a family environment where I was loved, encouraged, and given opportunities to, in the words of my father. `make something of myself.' My factory friends had simply not been so lucky in the lottery of life. I was by this time employed in a job I enjoyed and from which I gained both personal satisfaction and a decent salary (these two things not being identical with each other, but not being unrelated either). They were still there, in exactly the same places, on exactly the same production line, as they had been years before.

Their work possessed no intrinsic dignity: it was unskilled, repetitive, poorly paid, and provided no sense of achievement. Yes, it gave them a wage; but not a wage that provided for anything more then the bare necessities of life plus a few packs of cigarettes and some cheap booze on a Friday or Saturday night. And it raised questions in my mind to which, more than twenty years on, I have still not found answers.

First, how does the church enable those in such jobs to find God-given satisfaction? It is oh-so-easy for those of us who have jobs which we enjoy doing to talk about `the dignity of labour' when the labour we have has, in a sense, its own intrinsic dignity. But what of the labour that does not have such dignity in and of itself? Which is monotonous, unskilled, boring, poorly paid, and which slowly but surely bleeds any last vestige of creativity and spontaneity out from the veins? The obvious answer is, of course, to find such dignity in extrinsic factors, supremely in doing everything to the glory of God. But, let's face it, it is a whole lot easier to do an enjoyable job to the glory of God than to sweep the factory floor day after day to the same.

Nostalgic agrarian feudalists will no doubt reach for their goose-feather quills, ink derived from crushed elderberries, and paper made from dried bulrushes at this point, and argue for a return to a time when humans were allegedly more connected to the earth; and such musings will then no doubt be communicated to the wider world by printing press, mass transport, computer networks and all those other necessities of modern society, even as said agrarians sit around and watch the grass grow. Again, it is so much easier to wax eloquent about agrarianism when it isn't your hands being torn to shreds by harvesting without the use of industrial machinery.

Second, what about the Christian mind? So often the Christian mind is identified with some Christian life and world view or another. Such may differ in the details, but often they focus on movies, art, literature, politics, indeed, all of those things about which middle class intellectuals like to talk. The problem, of course, is that when the Christian mind is functionally identified with such concerns, or when these become the primary talking-points, then it becomes a preserve of the middle class intelligentsia; those who are not part of this particular cultural bracket can, by definition, possess no true Christian mind or, at best, only a very defective version of the same. Why, for example, do we only ever have Christian conferences on things such as the performing arts, or politics, or literature, or movies? Why never on toilet cleaning, factory floor sweeping, or production line manufacturing? Is it because God is not sovereign over these things? Or is it because the whole Christianity and culture thing has been essentially hijacked and subsequently defined by the chatterati of the intelligentsia? Is Shakespeare intrinsically more susceptible to being approached from a Christian perspective than working in a call centre?

Don't misunderstand me here: this is not a pharisaical rant of the `I thank you Lord that I am not like other men' variety. Remember: I am the self-absorbed twit who went to Morocco to `find himself' -- not exactly a mainstream proletarian pastime of the ferret-breeding, pork pie eating, or pigeon-racing variety. It is rather to raise the point that talk of the Christian mind, of the dignity of labour, and the need to do all things to God's glory, is very easy if you are well paid, enjoy your job, and have cool hobbies like ballet and opera. It is not so easy if you work eight hours plus a day in a dirty, noisy factory for peanuts. Yet even there, the Christian mind, and doing all to the glory of God must apply; it is just not immediately obvious to me how (immediately?!? I've had twenty years to think about this.....). Somebody should write a monograph on it. It could be the textbook for an elective course on the subject at a Christian liberal arts college.

The other day I waited for woohyun outside the bathroom (how long does it take a girl to pee these days?), and as I looked up I saw four other grown men waiting for their girlfriends and wives. It was one of the saddest sights of my life and I felt like I had to pull some chest hair out or something (watch the video below)

I used to be one of those guys who rolled their eyes when students laughed at professor's corny jokes. The other day, I couldn't help but laugh at few of my professor's super nerdy jokes. What's worse is, I looked up "nerdy jokes" online after class just for kicks and giggled (yes) in the library like a fruit. SIGH.

When my heart runs dry
And there's no song to sing
No holy melody
No words of love within

This fragile heart has slipped...

I'm going to try and post sermon notes every Sunday. Although it might not be the best summarization of the sermon, I hope that someone would come across this and by God's grace, be enlightened.

Psalm 23:1-6
We all go through tough times and struggle with various things. We, however, as Christians find satisfaction in knowing that Jesus is there to strengthen us through every trial and suffering.

Jesus is the shepherd and we are his sheep. He knows everything about us and sees everything that's ahead of us and tries to lead us in right directions. Sheep, in nature, are stupid, blind, nearsighted, and helpless without a guide. Like a sheep that is too blind to know that there is a green pasture right next to a dead land, without the grace of God, we constantly fall into the temptation of Satan and choose against God and all the good things that He offers. Jesus feeds us, protects us, and guides us through everything (ie "valley of shadow and death").

Normally, sheep are raised to be later slaughtered. The meat, bones, and wool are things that set the values of a sheep. Christ, however, took our place as the Lamb of God and paid the price for us.

This was a sermon that pierced my heart today. I've heard the same type of sermon countless times in the past and each time it's amazing how it feels like I've heard it for the first time. Maybe it's because I forget it all the time, but whatever it is, I was really thankful that I heard this message today. Some might find it sad and shameful to be compared to sheep, but I couldn't be more glad. I'm glad I'm a stupid animal that cannot do anything without God. If I was a smart animal, I would be expected to perform and to meet God's standards as a shepherd. I'm glad He sees me as a part of His flock, and I'm glad that He sees me as a dumb little animal that is helpless without Him. I cannot imagine what life would be like...to rely on myself instead of Christ in order to get to the promised land of eternity.

Praise the Lord.

It has been so draining both mentally and spiritually the past couple weeks. It's funny how people, including myself, never hesitate to just say, "God will provide." It's true, God always does provide, but I find it funny that I don't feel the same way in times of need even though I find it easy to say it to others. Everybody can understand and take in the Word of God, but not all can react to and follow it. It's been a week of prayer for me, and I forgot how important prayer was...not only is it a time for me to ask, talk, and connect with God, it's a time when I can truly reflect my knowledge and my wisdom to and with the Father and without it I wouldn't be able to know how to react to certain situations and what to do in times of need and dilemma...yet still I can't help but be troubled. ohhh myyyy. GROWTH! SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS WHAT I NEED!


"The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He will drive out your enemy before you,
saying, 'Destroy him!'" - Deuteronomy 33:27

If you are getting into soccer through the World Cup, please look up 백승호 (Sheng Ho Park). He is just 13 years old and the world calls him the "Asian Messi" because of his incredible skills and gifts. He's part of the youth team for FC Barcelona, one of the best clubs in the English Premiere League, and is also the captain of the Korean U-14 national team. The U-14 team is also one of the best in the world, and a lot of soccer people are saying that Korea will be a powerhouse in about a decade.

I can't wait. :)

I was going to do a "sophomore year reflection" entry, but that'd be lame and typical.
NBA Finals are over...after watching Kobe putting a subpar performance in one of his most important games in his career, I was quickly reminded of how great MJ was...







Oh by the way, and correct me if I'm wrong, this guy named Michael Jordan never had a game 7 in his NBA finals. Why? Because he was THAT good...

Amos 4: 6-11
I gave you empty stomachs in every city
and lack of bread in every town,
I also withheld rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
People staggered from town to town for water
but did not get enough to drink,
Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
I struck them with blight and mildew.
Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees,
I sent plagues among you
as I did to Egypt.
I killed your young men with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps,
I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
You were like a burning stick snatched from the fire,


Sometimes I look at what I'm struggling and think, "Why is God doing this to me?" It's hard to understand sometimes why God, who takes on a loving father figure in my life, would not shower me with blessings and riches. The passage above might make you think that same, but at the end of each stanza, which I did not type, there's an answer to the question. "...yet you did not return to me" is what it says at the end, and today this Bible passage really hit and broke my hardened heart into pieces. Sometimes it's actually harder to seek and praise God when our relationship with Him is "good". We are quick to forget that He is the center of all things and that we are his creation. We forget that our hearts are made to be filled up with His love rather than those of the world, and that's when our hearts become hardened. As long as sin is inside of our hearts, God will continue to show us this uncomfortable and sometimes harsh form of His grace. Rather than viewing our struggles and hardships as a sign of God's unfaithfulness to us, let us see it as a sign of rescue and love. It will sometimes be more painful than it should be, but that's God's love...that's real love. His unwillingness to compromise or settle with our hearts being sinful is a true sign that He loves us. The fact that He's spending time taking care of us like that is...amazing...and humbling at the same time.


Let us not seek reasons to believe God, rather seek God himself...

FIRST OF ALL: I'M REALLY REALLY TIRED...I WORKED 12 HOURS TODAY SO MY ENGLISH MAY NOT MAKE ANY SENSE hahaha

I've always wondered...WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO DO WITH AN ENGINEERING MAJOR?! I know there are so many things I can do with it, but I didn't know how I could use my major to further God's Kingdom. I know people say that I could always be a witness at work, but I wanted my job to be meaningful and helpful to those who are in need.

This spring break, I spent most of my time helping my uncle from Korea. He invented a device that helps the blind and the visually impaired to read printed texts. This idea now is used in all Korean government documents, monthly magazines, newspapers, textbooks, children's books, and so on. The convention that his company was a part of is the biggest in the world, and I got to meet a lot of people who are working so hard to simply make this world a better place for the less fortunate. The more people I met and talked with, the more I was convinced that THIS IS IT...I WANT MY FUTURE TO BE A PART OF THIS! I met the chief of the social security department, the chair of the education department....IT WAS CRAZY! but anyways...

I didn't realize this until my uncle told me WHY he was doing this. For over 10 years, he's been pouring out his own money just to keep this business going and now it's starting to pay off. He was truly seeing his company as a part of God's Kingdom. The moment I heard that....man I just knew what I wanted to do.



I am inspired. http://voiceye.com/english/site_main/i_main_.asp

Sometimes, I wish I can split my body into 10 so I can do 10 different things at once. One guy will be studying for finals, one will be playing games, reading the Bible and preaching the good news, one will be singing, the other on drums, another on a guitar, another on a bass, and so on

Basically, every time I watch a video on YouTube, I wish I was that person...so here it is...
















I hope this was a good break from your finals. LOL

Sin is more than just an act of rebellion or violation of rules and morals. Everyday, we try to put ourselves into a position we desire, but can never have--God's position. We want to make our own rules so that we are able to shape what we want, feel, and need; so we fight every day to try and break the authority that we were called to be under. It's our unwillingness to find joy in living lives under the authority of the one and only king that causes us to sin against Him. Sin is, therefore, a relationship, and the only way to restore the broken relationship is through the relationship between us and Christ. It's God's willingness to adopt us that allows this relationship to be restored and to exist.

"Every sin is vertical, no matter how thunderous the horizontal implications of it are. All sin is against God and Him only."



I really like reading Psalm 51.

Hi!

How was your day? What's new? How's life?


...


The potluck on Friday was really awesome. It was just nice to see people bond and have fun while playing a simple game of Taboo. If such game can bring people together, how much closer would we get if we share the good news of Christ with one another?

Sacrificing for others is such a hard thing to do. Setting your needs, wants, greed(?), and desires to the side, I think, is close to impossible and painful to say the least. I don't know how Jesus did it. I can't even do it for the few people around me, but somehow He managed to do it for all His beloved and chosen children...it probably had something to do with being perfect and almighty, but anyways.


The more I struggle with this, the more I come to love Christ. The more I find myself doing this, the more I come to love Christ. The more I do anything in my life, the more I come to love Christ.


Sacrifice. sacrifice. sacrifice. It's a tough one to swallow...

I watched this back in 8th grade and rolled on the floor. I watched it again today and cracked up. Because of this video, every time a pastor says "pinch his/their tents" during a sermon, I smile real big and try to hold my laugh. Why did I even search this video again? I heard an Australian guy say the word "pianist", which sounded a lot like that other word. My goodness gracious, I am immature.


DK and I always talk about the most interesting things on the ride back from church (never on the way though). I'm really going to miss it.

This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible because you can just sense the urgency and the wholehearted repentance by David.

"Surely You desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice." -Psalm 51 6-8

One of the scariest things about sin is the fact that we often get comfortable with it. The very sin that once troubled our hearts all of a sudden seems logical and just in our sinful eyes and hearts. Just like what David says in verse 8, having our sins corrected brings immense spiritual pain, but we must also be happy and thankful for the fact that God is willing and patient enough to break our hearts and mold them back together into His liking.

So here is a little part of what I read today...

Think about it: the physical pain of an actual broken bone is worth being thankful for because it's a warning sign something is wrong in that arm or leg. In the same way, God's loving hammer of conviction is meant to break your heart, and the pain of heart you feel is meant to alert you to the fact that something is spiritually wrong inside of you. Like the warning signal of physical pain, the rescuing and restoring pain of convicting grace is a thing worth celebrating.
So God's grace isn't always comfortable because he isn't primarily working on our comfort; he's working on our character. With violent grace he will crush us because he loves us and is committed to our restoration, deliverance, and refinement. And that is something worth celebrating.


Have a good day :)

"So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul--then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied." -Deuteronomy 11:13-15

Help me to love You before and more than anyone or anything of this world...to truly truly love You with all my heart and with all my soul. What a day what will be!

I overheard a conversation between a couple of Jewish men while waiting for the bus today. To be honest, I don't really know much about Jewish beliefs and practices, but they were talking about their beliefs and ideas on how people can enter the Heaven's doors. The only hope they could give was the hope that somehow and someway, a person could be obedient and righteous enough to be given the blessing of eternal time with God. Unfortunately, I didn't have the courage nor the time to talk them about what I believed. But the more they talked about it, the more beautiful the Gospel seemed to me today.

I had one of those "remember back..." conversations with a friend today. It was funny how I only remembered the fun and good parts of middle school. It took me a while to realize how stressful and horrible middle school was. The horrible traffic before and after school, cross country Fridays, tests and quizzes, band concerts, RAINY DAYS (lame recess), and yard duties...that one time when I freaked out while learning how to write essays in 6th grade, the 6th grade science fair, the time when i was walking into my mom's car crying with a broken arm...my fat-ness. But even all those things now make me laugh although it didn't at the time. Even high school now makes me laugh and a part of me now wishes I can experience that all over again.

Midterms...finals...college in general is stressful. I can't wait till I get to look back and just laugh at the things I did in college...even to this blog entry.

Matthew 9
"1Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."


I'm currently reading the book of Matthew, and today I came across this one particular verse. I first thought that I misread this one verse, but I didn't..."When Jesus saw their faith..." Yes. Not the faith of the paralytic, but the faith of the men. It really didn't matter if the paralytic actually believed Jesus can heal him, but what really did matter were the faith of the men who brought Jesus to this man. I always pray to God to use me, as a vessel, a messenger, and a living example of the Gospel, but in reality I rarely live up to my hopes. In fact, I don't remember the last time I brought a non-Christian to church. Just like the paralytic, the nonbelievers will be unable to come to God on their own, so it is up to me...up to us to bring Christ into their lives. It's a huge burden. It's hard and sometimes even embarrassing to talk about the Gospel to anyone. But how can we dare put our prides ahead of the most incredible and inspiring love men has been shown? We aren't hesitant to talk about the love in Korean dramas or those of our friends, but often just too ashamed to talk about the Gospel. These paralytics are everywhere in our lives and if God wills it, let them also experience and live in the same love that we do everyday and will for eternity.
