Dualism of Christ
In Physics, light is known to have dual nature: wave and particle. This theory called dualism of light was discovered by Thomas Young in 1807 and later confirmed by Albert Einstein in 1905.

On God and Money: A Biblical Perspective
One of the most uplifting promises of God in the Bible is given both in the Old and New Testaments. It is a powerful encouragement that God will never leave us nor forsake us. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not …
A Journey of Loving God: How Can I Know God is Good?
A believer in God supposedly believes that God is good—no evil or wickedness can be found in Him. It is a common ground in every religion or belief. At least, it is true for monotheism that the Deity is holy, pure, noble in essence, and all things that come from Him are good. But how …

A Leap Day Note
It's been over 7 years now since I started my blog. I am grateful for the opportunities to pour out some of my thoughts through writing. In addition [to writing on my blog], I have been actively writing for research papers from my master and doctoral studies for journal publication. In the 7th year, last …
Life is Short and Frail: Is There Still Hope?
We are just in the end of January and many things have happened already. Sadly, they are quite unpleasant news: from the Australia wildfires, the Jakarta floods, the Ukraine airlines crash, the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant, to the coronavirus outbreak. What in the world is going on? Early this month, I came across this …

2019 Year in Review: A Personal Story
In less than 24 hours, we will be in the new year! (Who is not excited?) It's time to sit down, relax, and recall some good (or not good) memories in 2019. It's probably your last chance to be honest with yourself this year. There were, of course, things we did that we should not …
