Brazil, Day 22: July 4th in Brazil
By Joshua Huang

Ugh…I woke up so tired this morning! Not from going to bed late, but simply from being worn out the day before. I set my alarm to wake up early for a run, but I quickly put that idea aside when it sounded. I would rather be at my best throughout the day than to more »

Brazil, Day 21: ALL the Playing!
By Joshua Huang

Woke up again around 5:30am to see if the sunrise would be worth watching, and it was. This morning the sky was full of clouds, so the sunrise was a pretty one. It wasn’t even close to being one of the best I’ve seen, but it was beautiful nonetheless. As I watched it rise I more »

Brazil, Day 19: Preparation for Sacred Music Week
By Joshua Huang

I woke up at 5:15 to watch the sunrise, but there were no clouds in the sky to make for a beautiful sunrise, so I just went back to bed. At 6:40 I woke up again to go running. This time I went up and down the seminary campus steps several times. For breakfast we more »

Brazil, Day 16: ALL the Neat Stories!
By Joshua Huang

So, as the title indicates, today I heard a lot of great stories. In order to remember them later on, I’m gonna write them all down. First of all, my day began with another 6-kilometer run. That’s not much of a story, but it happened. For breakfast we had yummy bread with fried cheese and more »

Brazil, Day 15: Odd Jobs and Leadership Conference
By Joshua Huang

Ugh…I don’t like waking up in the morning! Well, I do, but I don’t like to wake up early and I especially don’t like to exercise alone. But I had to do what I had to do, and I ran 6 kilometers. My devotions were in Acts 10. In this chapter, Cornelius and Peter both more »

Brazil, Day 12: Several Thoughts on Missions
By Joshua Huang

I woke up and almost considered skipping a second straight day of exercise. I did not want to get up, and I had an almost unnoticeable headache that lingered from the night before. But I finally got up and ran a kilometer before doing some hill runs, tackling the hill on the seminary’s road eight more »

Brazil, Day 10: Giving to Brasil
By Joshua Huang

When my alarm went off this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed. I wasn’t necessarily tired although I definitely could have slept longer. Rather, I just didn’t want to get out of my really comfortable bed and go running. But I took a break two days ago, so more »

Conditional Love
By Joshua Huang

For today I thought it would be appropriate to just receive a reminder of Biblical love- God’s love. Immediately I went to 1 John 4. I love this chapter and reading, studying, and meditating on it never grows old. To keep from writing out a sermon, I’m going to focus on verses 7-11 even though more »

Striving to Be an Abomination
By Joshua Huang

Not the average goal for a born-again believer, huh? But why not? It’s a worthy goal on second thought, is it not? Perhaps an explanation would be helpful here before you entirely tune me out. Proverbs 29:27 says, “An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, and he who is upright in the way more »
