Installed!
Last Sunday I was installed as an Assistant Pastor at Memorial Lutheran church to be a Missionary for East Indian people. The long awaited event finally happened. It was a great celebration indeed;  The worship was holy, the hymns were marvelous, and the liturgy uplifting. I was really humbled by the serenity of the whole event. However, the lingering question in my heart and mind during the worship was this: "Am I really worthy to receive this honor and carry out the holy task given to me?" When the negativity of the answer was burdening my heart, the comforting gospel came to me in the form of preaching.  There is no doubt that I am unworthy, but God is the one who is doing His work through this unworthy vessel. It's not about me. The powerful proclamation of the gospel took away the burden in my heart and gave me peace. Now, I assure all the saints at Memorial that I will diligently carry out my duties, obey the leadership, and reach out to East Indians in Houston and beyond who are desperately in need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am installed, Thanks be to God!
