It was a crisp winter night. My father, Jimmy Wu, was deep in prayer, weighed down by a heavy burden God had placed on his heart. He simply could not shake the burning desire to see believers in the Chinese-speaking congregation of Chinese Grace Bible Church (CGBC) develop a deeper spiritual fellowship with one another. […]

Paul, in Ephesians 5:31, quoted what Moses said in Genesis 2:24: “Therefore, a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.” It is interesting that the man is to cling to his wife and not the woman to her husband. The word “cling” connotes a strong […]

Amnesiacs, Not Worshipers Identity and purpose are inseparable. Jason Bourne discovered this at the beginning of The Bourne Identity. He wakes up on a boat and can’t remember who he is.

Today I would like to declare my faith through the step of water baptism. At birth I was diagnosed with an infant respiratory distress syndrome that required an immediate surgery and an Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) administered to me in order to increase my chances of survival. After staying a month in the intensive care unit (ICU), I […]

I was born into a Christian family that went to church every single Sunday. I don’t remember what it was like to not know who God was and what He gave me. But I do remember what it was like to hear about all the amazing things that God was giving to me, yet not […]
