As many of you know, several Asian-American leaders and I have been in dialogue with both the authors of Deadly Vipers and the publisher, Zondervan, over a controversy I’ve written about here and here. I know that many who have followed along…
Sarah Palin is all over the news — just like she wants. And before you criticize her, she and her team have a strategy and they’re implementing it well to ensure that her persona is before the American public until…
We often speak of ‘loving our neighbors,’ but it’s really hard when we don’t even know our neighbors. I see this to be a growing problem — not just in the Church but our larger society. Why is it so…
We are excited to announce the launch of One Day’s Wages — an international grassroots movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty. We are certainly not the first and thankfully, not the last. We’re encouraged by organizations like Sojourners that remind…
Like many folks a couple weeks ago, I was stunned that Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize. In fact, I thought it was some sort of joke but alas, it was legit. But I did manage to get couple…
I remember being instructed as a new Christian many years ago to pray for influential Hollywood people. I did as I was instructed and I still remember praying for numerous stars including Tom Cruise … umm, I should have prayed…
Most folks who’ve read my blog over some time should know that while I very much respect President Obama, I don’t go ga-ga and drool over this man. I can understand why so many love him, but I can also…
I’m currently rockin’ in Knoxville, Tennessee. I have the privilege of being one of the morning teachers of an event called CHIC2009 – a gathering of 5200+ high schoolers from all around the country. I’m simply teaching one message, but eight times to 600+…
I really hope no one gets offended – especially some of my ‘nice white lady’ readers. I certainly appreciate you and showing this video isn’t intended to be offensive, but it’s just too funny not to share. It’s funny because…
It’s not like you need another Michael Jackson tribute or post, but oh well… Clearly, there are more important things going on around the world, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t pause to reflect on one of the most…
Welcome to the month of June. Did you know that May is considered Asian Pacific Heritage Month? Don’t worry, most folks don’t know or care either. Honestly, I don’t like the idea of designating a month but I understand the…
Is it possible that we as Christians just aren’t angry enough about injustices like human trafficking and slavery? Perhaps we’ve grown too desensitized, domesticated, and docile. I’m not trying to say this for the sake of the ’shock factor’ —…
Did you read the news of Liberty University (founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell) removing the Democratic club as an offiicial Liberty club because the national party’s platform goes against the values of the school?
I’ll be honest. I get timid writing these kind of posts. I’m scared of being labeled an angry or bitter Asian. I’m scared of the emails that come in. I’m scared of being de-invited for speaking gigs – again. I’m…
Recently, I had the privilege of spending some time in Washington DC - where I also announced my entrance (and short lived career) into politics. There, I met some old friends, made some new friends and was also able to spend some time…
Ministry has its up and downs. Such is life. But one of the joys of planting and pastoring Quest Church is that it’s one of the most unique and diverse communities I have been a part of.
