Been a while since an update, but due to problems with the air conditioning at our old location, we moved away from Lewisville and, after a couple of months of looking, found a new location in Plano! Grace Chinese Baptist Church was kind enough to let us rent a space upstairs above their main building,Continue reading “New Location and Opening Service!”

Anniversary Service and New Time
We’ll be celebrating our church anniversary this upcoming Sunday on May 1. It’s usually in April, but Pastor Lee and his wife were in Israel and then got COVID (don’t worry, they’re fine!), so we pushed it back to early May. We will also be starting at a new time starting this Sunday to accommodateContinue reading “Anniversary Service and New Time”
Grand Opening Service!
We had our “soft launch” at the new church location, but we are gearing up for our “hard launch” this Sunday! We’ll be serving a late lunch afterward, so join us for food and fellowship after service, which is at 12:30pm. Hope to see you all there! Here’s a map of the location too soContinue reading “Grand Opening Service!”
Sunday School for 2/26
We’ll be meeting at the nearby Raising Cane’s, which is about five minutes from the church building. Here’s the address: 1026 W Main St, Lewisville, TX 75067. We will be meeting at 11am and then be at church by 12:30pm for service. See you there!
New Church Building!
The pandemic was challenging for us as it was for many churches, and we had to adapt quite a bit since 2020. We could not use our old building for over a year and so had online services through Zoom, and then finally we were allowed to go back for about five months. After that,Continue reading “New Church Building!”
‘Some Sins are Actually Worse Than Others, but Grace Still Covers All’
More evidence has come out that Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias was engaged in sexual abuse for many years, which is sad and terrible. However, some Christians have argued that while he sinned, “all sins are equal” or “sin is sin,, so we should not be so quick to judge. I find this claim to beContinue reading “‘Some Sins are Actually Worse Than Others, but Grace Still Covers All’”
‘최악의 폭력 십자가는하나님의 용서가 이루어진 공간’
학폭(학교폭력)은 어떤 이유로라도 정당화될 수 없습니다. 징계는 가해자의 미래를 내다보고 이루어져야 합니다. 오래 전 일이지만 필자는 중학교 2학년을 시작하면서 태권도부에 등록을 하고 태권도를 배우기 시작했습니다. 태권도를 배우는 것이 좋았지만 고등학교 선배들로부터(중학교와 고등학교가 붙어있는 학교였음) 기합을 준다는 명목으로 폭력을 자주 당하여 태권도부가 싫어졌습니 다. 그래서 고등학교에 올라가자마자 태권도부를 떠나겠다고 말했습니다. 이후 태권도를 계속하지 않는다는 이유로 더Continue reading “‘최악의 폭력 십자가는하나님의 용서가 이루어진 공간’”
‘On Worship Songs From Certain Churches’
Praise music is a very important aspect of Christian worship, and for many people, it can be deeply personal as they squabble over whether churches should use hymns, modern praise songs, certain instruments, and so forth. While much of those arguments simply revolve around matters of taste, there is a more substantive discussion about whetherContinue reading “‘On Worship Songs From Certain Churches’”
‘When Comforts are Stripped Away’
This past week was a unique one in Texas, as record cold temperatures hit the Lone Star State. Texas was not quite prepared for it, leading to power outages, frozen pipes, and iced roads across the state. Many people were out of power for several days and had to find ways to get by withoutContinue reading “‘When Comforts are Stripped Away’”
‘생명을 간직한 복음’
농촌 출신인 필자는 뒷뜰에 손바닥만한 텃밭을 가꾸고 있습니다. 작년 이른 여름 심지 않았고 전혀 생각지도 않았던 한국 참외 두 그루와 캔탈롭(Cantaloupe) 한 그루가 텃밭에서 솟아올랐습니다. 과일 껍질 등 음식물 찌꺼기와 나뭇잎을 썩여서 퇴비를 만들어 텃밭에 뿌렸는데 썩기를 거부하고 생명을 간직한 씨앗들이 따뜻한 기운을 받아 기지개를 펴고 머리를 내민 것입니다. 줄기와 가지들이 힘차게 뻗어나갔습니다. 인터넷에서 순접기Continue reading “‘생명을 간직한 복음’”
