NO GOD ALLOWED?

Image
Kabataan Party List Representative Raymond Palatino is said to filed a House Bill entitled “Religious Freedom in Government Act”, at first, you may think that the bill is religious and pro-God but it simply states the banning of religious activities and other religious symbols within the government offices. This proposal from the representative threatens the religious freedom of every Filipino and should not be supported. We have seen the moral decline of some of the western countries who fifty years ago a bunch of “looneys” suggested that prayers and Bible reading in public schools be prohibited. Now we have witnessed the effect of taking God out of the picture. Immorality, violence and economic decline continue to sweep through the nation. Furthermore, people chose Satan to rule over them rather than God; this is very evident in the spiritual condition of the people, thank God because there are some who are still standing on the Word of God battling to drive out the anti-Christ...

Meaning of Christ's Death

Image
First Part of Number Five Series of Christ Death Vicarious  - which means a substitute in bearing of our sins. Christ became the substitute for all sinners who died on the cross, because of man's sins, man is doomed to eternal death which means a complete separation from God in eternal punishment in hell. The Bible declares in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." No one is capable of saving himself from the judgment of hell because we don't have the strength and we are limited in our own ways to get right with God. And in Romans 6:23 it states there, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."All sinners will face death, this is the penalty man has to suffer for their rebellion towards God, but since there is a gift which God offers for those who believe, man need not face the danger of hell, there is hope and that is Christ Jesus our Lord. Because of Jesus...

Story Worth Telling...

Image
We are sharing our story: story of love, joy, pain, sadness and grief which later on were replaced with hope, joy and contentment...if people are offended when I posted the pictures of my son, I do apologized, but the story behind it, how we are strengthened and find comfort, peace and satisfaction in the embrace of God, this is what we are telling. That life after a series of pain has its purpose, they have their mission in the life of every person, and the important thing is you have learned, became stronger and matured as you face new challenges in life. Be glad that you have not experienced what we have gone through, but one thing that God has taught me, we may not like the situation and the sorrow every loss can bring but He can still bring out the goodness from every pain you gain, every tear you cry and every failures you’ve faced, because in all these, His will and purpose will still remain. In our case, we have thanked God, moved on and are become stronger, what we want th...

A Father’s Day to Forget?

Image
People all over the world may have been celebrating Father’s Day. Cards, flowers and other presentations were given to commemorate all fathers of the world. Fathers definitely enjoy this occasion for once in a year; tributes were given to fathers for all their hard-work, love and care they express for their family. But, my husband is different, he doesn’t anticipate this celebration, for him it brings pain for the memory of our child, Matthew Joash. Our son was born June 17, 2004. We were so excited for the coming of our firstborn child because after a series of failed pregnancies, finally our prayers were answered. My husband fulfilled my entire request during my pregnancy, I would asked him to buy me mangoes, jackfruit and papaya which I craved so much and not only that, I requested white spaghetti which I remembered my favorite snack during the first 3 months of pregnancy. We bought a lot of child stuffs from feeding bottles, to baby clothes and other items a child needs. ...

Pacquiao's Defeat: God Meant It for Good!

Image
The whole Philippines and even the people from different areas of the world who have witnessed how talented our boxing champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, were all out support to him that even the Christian community and the rest of his supporters were and still backing him up in prayers especially during the fight. As usual, our boxing champion impresses us with his powerful and quick punches that landed a solid hit on Timothy Bradley, who at the same time was trying his best to topple the welterweight division champion. During the fight, we were a hundred percent definite that once again Mr. Pacquiao will bring home the championship belt for he ruled the game during the solid eight rounds based on the announcers’ assessment and how the game was played, however, we were in shock and in dismayed when the winner was announced, Mr. Pacquiao lost the game and Bradley on the other hand was in shock to hear the decision. We were questioning the bases of the judges’ decision because we f...

Please Help!!!

Image
Hey everyone! Just want to hear from you...I was doing some evaluation on myself and God made a tremendous impression in me and I would like to share this with you. Hope you will participate and be open to what God wants to do for your life as a person: The first question that I want you to answer is: 1.       What areas in your life that need changed? a.      Before you answer the question, ask God prayerfully to reveal to you the areas that need change, areas that there is a struggle with sin and temptation. Now you don’t need to elaborate, you have the option to keep it to yourself or to spill it out, what is important is that you are fully aware about the things in your life that greatly needs help, one step to recovery and victory is the acknowledgment that you need help and change in that particular area of your life. b.      When I was praying last night, God revealed to me that I need help with ...

Junior Youth: History Makers!!!

Image
The Junior Youth just finished another seminar facilitated by Pastor Irene Barola yesterday. The topic mainly discussed about the state of being ungodly in the last days and as Christians how can we become godly in this unchristian world. The passage was taken from 2 nd Timothy chapter 3 verses 1 to 5; the signs mentioned in this chapter are indeed evident in our times today and so as Christians we need to make a difference by being different not to go with the flow. We need to be distinct in our speech, actions, thoughts, (even though no one can see them, God can read through one’s mind so be aware,) our choice of music, our fashion and even our lifestyle. We must be mindful on how we live because the days are coming to an end where evil will rule the hearts of men and forget God. Revival must begin at home through the parents and therefore continue in the church until it flows through our community and the world. We may not be able to win all but at least we win som...

A Date with God?

Image
What if God invited you to a date? What would you do? Would you make early preparations or last minute arrangements? Would you wear your best dress or just a shabby clothes from your unearthed closet or just your usual dress? Would you impress Him with your intellectual chat or simply be yourself? Would you be honest or would you make up stories just to amaze Him? When I was thinking of an additional post to my blog, I was praying that God would give me a topic, since we just finished our “Love Can Wait” seminar for the teens, I asked myself, “how about a topic that deals with priorities,” it struck me clearly, since we discussed not to focus on the relationship at an early age, I said why not focus on God as the center of everything, since most of the teens with ages ranging from 12 to 17 are already serious about going in a relationship and because of their immaturity they tend to choose the wrong things as long as it feels good as of the moment, those ideas motivated me to ch...
