Seven Months of Heaven



Every person has his or her story how they met their love one. Especially singles have a high interest in knowing how two people come together and started a family. It's an interest to them because in the stories like that, singles look for directions towards their own personal life. I am writing this on my seven months of marriage anniversary, no I am not going to explain how we met and the drama began, I just want to point out few thoughts that fill my mind as this day approached since every story is God's story. "What.. God has joined together, let not man separate" (Mt 19:6).

When I think of me being together with my wife, I think of God's grace. Grace is something that we don't deserve, it's Gods goodness and kindness in our everyday life. None of us deserve grace, it is a gift. That's how I see my story with Ira, she's a gift. There was a time in my foolishness I was ignoring her, if fact I was running away from her (that's a pattern of a blind person running from the light). But now, I am the happiest man ALIVE. As God gave me a gift: salvation, so did he gave me a gift: a wife by the name of Irina. The book of Proverbs says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD" (18:22). This has been truly a favor from my Lord. It's just been seven months, but better then any single seven months that I ever lived.

The dynamic of the Christian marriage life is different. To a single person, it's might be hard to understand. When Proverbs asks a question, "An excellent wife who can find? (31:10), I am tempted to answer. To have a person next to you who only seeks less interest of her own, makes me want to be with this person, makes me want to seek the good of this person—she is a jewel.

A wife, my wife I can cry with, laugh with, have an intelligent conversation, have a blast going to a trip or other places. A person I can trust, a person who I can seek comfort and realization at the same time. My dear wife, I love you; you presents in my life, it's like God's little piece of heaven on this earth. Happy seven month Anniversary!

I am humbled by God's providence.


Sometimes there aren't enough words to express the joy that fills the heart...

Lock Him up with the Bible & the Books

"Fling him into his office. Tear the 'Office' sign from the door and nail on the sign, 'Study.' Take him off the mailing list. Lock him up with his books and his typewriter and his Bible. Slam him down on his knees before texts and broken hearts and the flock of lives of a superficial flock and a holy God.  Force him to be the one man in our surfeited communities who knows about God. Throw him into the ring to box with God until he learns how short his arms are. Engage him to wrestle with God all the night through. And let him come out only when he's bruised and beaten into being a blessing.  Shut his mouth forever spouting remarks, and stop his tongue forever tripping lightly over every nonessential. Require him to have something to say before he dares break the silence. Bend his knees in the lonesome valley.  Burn his eyes with weary study. Wreck his emotional poise with worry for God. And make him exchange his pious stance for a humble walk with God a...

Why Do an Altar Call?

Altar call is described as a religious method that helps a person to confess Christ publicly. The problem with this method is that altar call is not described in the bible. When three thousand people received Christ during Peter’s preaching, most likely no one came forward to confess Christ publicly (Acts 2:41). The confession was there, yet walking forward down the aisle was not there. These days, when an alter call takes place, music is plays in the background. Preacher might say a sad story followed with a tear. Some even have counselors walk forward to motivate others to do the same. Thus, altar call is a method that is not described in the Bible leading us to question if this method should be practiced in churches at all?     Altar call began in the 1800’s. Preachers created a mourner’s bench as an area for people to walk forward when an altar call was called. The Methodist evangelists have invented this method, yet Charles Finney was the one who gave a title al...

Interpreting the Bible

The Right Hermeneutics   To understand the Bible (that was written about 2000 years ago), requires the right hermeneutics. The majority of Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. 2000 years separates us from the day of Apostles (New Testament), but the Old Testament books were written long before that. Today we can see how cults use the bible to defense their heresies. Bible is read through out the world in many languages and not every person who teaches the bible have a seminary degree. Bible itself was not intended to be used by educated or scholarly people. John wrote, “The anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things” (1 John 2:27). Yet having stated that, ignorance is not an excuse to make dramatic interpretation mistakes. Bible is not a book to have it be used anyway someone desires to.  In fact, Bible as a book did...
