Even in Tragedies, God is in Control!

It's 7:40am on the day of my father's funeral.
God has clearly been at work in these trying times.
For the next 6 days I will be posting at

Back to Korea on July 22nd and off to Iran on the 25th.
I can't thank all my friends and colleagues enough for your prayers, emails, concern and love at this time. Pray that God's truth and gospel will be clearly revealed to all here during the funeral and throughout the week. My father's story is another real life portrait of "the thief on the cross" who cried out to God in the last hours of His life.
"We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:41-43)
This is true for ALL of us; there is NOTHING that we can boast in except the cross (and faith in our risen Lord)!
AMAZING Grace!!
"...for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)
