Is Our Creator a Nihilistic Colonizer?
There’s a Hebrew word, asah (aw-saw’, Strong’s H6213), that means, “to do, to make, to accomplish, to complete.” It conveys a sense of purpose and goal in the making. We see this verb in Genesis 1:26– Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over…

America, the Beautiful?
I had originally written this back in September of 2016, after many months of heaviness, tears, and prayer. It was also an election year (how could we forget?) and things were crazy then, but not as crazy as now. I’ve changed a few things for the sake of coherency, and added a couple new thoughts,…

Why Breonna and Black Lives Matter to Me
Note: I sat on this post for about a week and a half, before the charges were dropped against Kenneth Walker. I was debating whether this post (which is mostly my own meandering process and at times borders on self-indulgent) was beneficial to share, or if it would just add to the online cacophony. But,…

Diamonds in the Fire
Confession: These diamonds cost me a lot though… A few days ago during some prayer time, I heard the Lord quietly say, “diamonds in fire.” Being an INFP and an Ennea 5w4, I had so many questions and buzzing thoughts I didn’t quite know where to begin. I settled down like the beginning of a…

Corona means Crown
Confession: I think it’s like this…but, we’ll see. Being a missionary to Asia on a mini-sabbatical in the USA during this global season has certainly had its share of mixed emotions, messages, and numerous changes of flight and travel plans: The desire to fly back to Korea ASAP to be with my friends and community…

King Lobbies

WOAH NOAH
Confession: Sometimes I think I’m crazy. Hebrews 11:7 – “By faith, Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land. He was warned about something he couldn’t see, and acted on what he was told. The result? His family was saved. His act of faith drew a sharp line between the evil of the…

Proud
Confession: I can’t say that I’m proud to be Korean. This isn’t a reflection of my feelings toward my heritage or country, but simply, it wouldn’t be accurate. I’m not proud to be Korean. I’m thankful to be Korean. I love being Korean. I appreciate our history, our struggles, our mistakes, our victories, our language, our food, our strange…
