  • Hello Autumn Chowder

    There are a few dishes that I make to kick off the season of vibrant gold, red, and orange leaves, breaking out scarves and light coats, and making scarecrows — and this chicken-corn-bacon-potato chowder is one of them. Not too thick and not soupy, flavorful and hearty, this will become a family favorite as it…

  • I love my life. I love my husband, my friends, my job, etc. Then why, after incessant complaining about this and that for who-knows-how-long, my bewildered husband asked me, “do you hate your life?” When I realized that I have developed a discontented heart; it hit me like a ton of bricks. Discontentment isn’t like…

  • God Works Through The Storms Of Your Life

    All this week, we have considered Jesus’ humanity, deity, His perfect stability and His tenderness towards those He calls His own. We know who Jesus is, How Jesus thinks of you, and now we will be looking at the way Jesus works through the storms of your life whether God sovereignly sees fit to calm…

  • The Humanity of Christ

    Earlier this week, we touched on the beautiful gift of Jesus’ humanity displayed to His disciples (and us) right before Jesus calmed the hurricane over the Sea of Galilee. Today, His humanity is our focus. Ebionism is the view many religions hold (including some so-called Christian religions) that says Jesus was a wise man but…

  • The Promised Messiah In The Storm

    When I was fighting depression in various seasons of years passed, I would read the account of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41, Matthew 8:23-27, and Luke 8:22-25 (it is also mentioned in the book of John, but very briefly). It would bring me comfort to know that Jesus, who calmed the massive storm…

  • Jesus Walks On Water

    There was another time when Jesus was on the water in the company of His disciples, and demonstrated His power over it — that was when He actually walked on the water. This was after Jesus fed the five thousand. After He dismissed the crowds, He went up to the mountain to pray until the…

  • Peace! Be Still! (It Is Not About The Storm)

    When Jesus rebuked the storm in the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, He said three simple words: “Peace! Be Still!” and it was so. Prior to that he also rebuked His disciples for their weak faith because they were demonstrating their lack of trust in Jesus’ sovereignty as God (see Matthew 8:25-26,…

  • Comfort In The Midst of Storms

    In the four gospel accounts is the well-known story of Jesus calming a storm while He and His disciples were in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. It is but a brief moment in the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry, and yet the glorious truths that God reveals to us in Matthew 8, Mark…

  • Recipe: Steamed Fish with Ginger and Scallions

    This is one of the comfort foods of authentic Chinese cuisine. Growing up, I remember how the aromatic ginger and scallion danced with the savory aroma of soy sauce in the air and the satisfying sound of sizzling and crackling when my dad poured the bubbling hot oil and soy sauce mixture onto the steamed…
