1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Being a Christian is not about being saved, that is just the beginning. The purpose of Christianity is that we may know Christ. My passion and goal in this life is to know God more each and every day. My prayer is that by the time my life on this earth is over that I would be more in love with Jesus then, then when I began.

Everything in this life is meaningless if it is done without Christ. All that I do is meaningless unless what I do draws me closer to Him. What we do for God is not as important as our relationship with God. Many people do things for God, but forget to do life with Him. What God wants more than anything else is not our hands, but our hearts. He is not a God of rules and regulations, but He is a God of spirit and truth. We must worship Him with our hearts, not our forms or traditions. When we truly seek Him, then God is able to mold us, shape us and make us more like His Son.  Read more...

Stop doubting, stop looking at your inabilities, stop looking at yourself and look up to God. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. What are you daring to dream for God?

This weekend my good friend and award winning director Hosanna Wong shot the music video for “PASSION” one of my singles from the upcoming album “GLORY” The video was shot in a studio on the CBS lot with different athletes doing what they do best. Below are some pictures from the set. Thank you to Hosanna, Lillian, JB , Rich and all the others who committed their time and energy to make this music video the very best. I KNOW this song and video are going to inspire many to live with passion … cause there is no other way to live life but to follow our hearts… no matter the cost!

East Week #10 “WE ALL NEED FORGIVENESS”

Recently, when I read the many negative reports in Hong Kong media concerning celebrities who have made mistakes or were angry at one another, my heart was broken. Although, I don’t want to comment about any one person involved in these situations, I do feel the need to talk about the need for forgiveness. 

My hope and prayer is that we as a people would learn to forgive as we have been forgiven. No one is perfect and we all need forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes and we are all in need of God’s grace. I’m a pastor, but I am far from perfect. I have made many mistakes in the past and I’m sure I will make more mistakes in the future. I am only human as are you. Each of us is ridden with sin and in need of God’s mercy. I pray that we can learn to extend forgiveness to one another, because bitterness, hatred and anger will only end in death.   Read more...

DA QIN - The first Christian Monastery in China. Praying for God to bring back the Gospel to the Church of the East!

I just got back to the states. I already miss Asia, but I’m also super happy to be back in my own bed in LA! Man, this last trip to Asia was amazing, crazy, powerful, full of love and never ending with miracles. Sometimes, I wish I had the time to journal every miracle I experience on a daily basis, it would be like volumes of miracles! But, I guess some things are meant to be shared others are not. Didn’t it say in the Gospel of John if every miracle of Jesus was to be written there would not be enough books to contain them? That’s how I feel at times, there are just too many divine encounters each day, too many to count. God is great!  Read more...

二十八年前的一個春天，距離媽媽打算入住的醫院不夠五分鐘路程，她終於打消了墮胎的念頭；我感謝上帝為她做出這個決定，不然我今天不會有機會寫這個專欄。

墮胎是全球性的問題，根據調查，香港每年就有百分之二十九的孕婦選擇墮胎，百分比乃全球之冠，僅次其後的為美國及澳洲。雖然這個數字是根據合法的人工流產去計算，或許在中國及台灣等地，進行非法人工流產的數字遠比香港多，但無論排第幾位也好，墮胎已經是一個不能忽視的問題。

有些人會認為，墮胎不算得是甚麼，因為腹中肉只是一個未發育完成的胚胎，殺掉的只是一個細胞而已；但事實上，墮胎跟殺人無異，無論胚胎多細，她/他已經是一個生命、一個人了，我們要把這個訊息灌輸給年輕人——墮胎就等於殺人。

生命沒外表之分——你們會以高矮肥瘦去量度自己生命的價值嗎？倘若你認為一個如紅豆般大的胚胎就不是生命，那麼我們是否個個都要像NBA球員奧尼爾（Shaquille O’Neal）生得那麼高才叫做人類？那生得比奧尼爾矮的希拉莉（Hillary Clinton）是不是一個沒有價值的生命呢？答案當然是「不」，每個生命都有他的價值，不要因為他/她出現在一個不恰當的時機，又或是發育不健全便把胎兒打掉，恰當與否不是由我們去決定。

缺陷也有價——不要用一個人的能力去衡量生命的意義，天生沒手腳與四肢健全的也有着同等的人權，難道生得聰明點，長得高大點，便有較高的生命價值？就算你腹中肉身體有缺陷、發育不健全，也不等於你可抹殺他/她生存的機會。

生命不分空間——曾經見過一個早產女嬰，她在母親體內只住了二十四周，出生時僅得一磅九安士，像她爸爸的手掌那麼大。醫學科技救活了這個嬰孩，試想想，若當日醫生把這個只有二十四周的生命放棄了，那是何等悲哀的一個故事；但與此同時，把一個二十四周、住在母親體內的嬰孩殺掉了，卻叫做「合法墮胎」，那你還覺得合理嗎？生命不受環境影響，不要把墮胎看得合情合理。

合理的倚賴——誰說一生要靠洗腎機或各類儀器去維持生命的嬰孩沒有價值？不要為自己找藉口，人自母體開始就依賴着另一個生命去存活，一個嬰孩沒有母親的餵食、照顧，根本沒有可能成長；既然我們明白每個人都由倚賴開始才能夠成長，那就不要認為先天有缺陷的嬰兒是個負擔，就算他/她將來要多倚賴你去照料也好，他/她也是一個生命，打掉一個有缺陷的胎兒，跟殺掉一個發育健全的小朋友沒有分別。

REMEMBER: EVERY LIFE COUNTS…. S.L.E.D.

28 years ago, my mother was five minutes away from making a decision to abort my life in a hospital clinic. I thank God that she chose to give me a chance to live in this world. If she had not, I would not be writing this column today and teaching others the value and sanctity of life.

Abortion is major issue all around the world. Sadly, almost a third of all pregnancies in Hong Kong are terminated. 29% of all babies born are aborted in Hong Kong. In all developed countries Hong Kong has the highest rate of abortion at 29%. Number two in the world rankings is the USA at 24.4%, then Canada at 24.3% and Australia at 23.7%.

The statistics can be higher in Hong Kong, because many abortions are done illegally. My heart breaks when I hear this because so many beautiful lives and potential destinies are lost. We need to have better sex education in Hong Kong and the world to let young people know why they should practice abstinence and be responsible with their actions.  Read more...

As I am here in Hong Kong at the moment shooting our documentary film “1040″ on “Christianity in Asia” I want to bring to attention all of you who read my blog to consider joining our “Antioch Forerunner Foundation” mission’s training program. In the last 4 years more than 4,000 young adults have committed to do missions in East Asia for 2 years to bring the Gospel from Asia back to Jerusalem. In order to facilitate this student mission movement we started a discipleship training school in the summer last year with 15 students from US, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and elsewhere in Kansas City, MO. In one word the 4 week training was “powerful” as each person was equipped in the “prayer + mission”… I can’t encourage and challenge each of you to seriously pray and consider spending your summer this year in one of our AFF training programs in either Kansas City (IHOP), Taiwan or Hong Kong. Your life will be changed eternally, more so this will be the necessary training you need to see all of Asia transformed with the Gospel and a mission army raised up for Christ in these end days to bring the Gospel back to Jerusalem and fulfill the Great Commission. RISE UP TO THE CALL! Read below for the vision and details…  Read more...
