(She had called me before to see if I would return to their Friday fellowship since she was expecting my time at CCGC to end in March) I told her I have other churches to consider. Then she told me that if I would like to visit their house. I told her okay, thinking that I could discuss with them about CCGC, Rev. David Chen etc...(Rev. Su was the one who lead Rev. David Chen to Christ), since Rev. Su wasn&#39;t completely in the dark in certain aspect of CCGC and Rev. Chen.<\/p>\n<p>Before I woke up, Pastor Su and his wife advised me on the risk of celibate life.<\/p>\n<p>Based on what has happened in the past, I do need to be more watchful of things and be disciplined. Because of what happened, I have made sure that all the female friends&#39; faces on my cellphone address book be deleted. If I be wed a wife, then it is by God&#39;s will. The only photo on my property would be that of my wife&#39;s. Until then, there are more important things in the world than what I want. I find it too little time to be possible for such alternate life. So then, there are great many things to do, even I know it. May God have mercy, keep me disciplined, keep me diligent, for Him alone. <\/p>\n<p>[@more@]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my last sleep, I dreamed that Newtown Reformed Church&#39;s pastor David Su&#39;s wife greeted me on the phone, asking if I was returning to their church.
