Image

HOPE: He Makes Things New...

Our past is marred with broken pieces of jar, no matter how hard you tried to put things together, your effort is futile. You tried to escape and run away from your past yet it hunts you and trap you until you are unable to escape. You are already drowning until darkness overwhelms you, filling your hearts, mind and soul with the strong presence of hopelessness, fear, helplessness and desperation. And as you wallow in the pit of darkness a strong Presence grabs and holds you by the hand, causing you to rise until you saw a glimpse of light which is becoming stronger and brighter, enveloping you with the warmth of its presence. You felt the warm embrace as peace flooded your soul, the desire to run away and the feeling of hopelessness; fear and desperation slowly vanish away with His loving presence. That’s what I felt, when Jesus found me, I thought that my life is such a waste, that my sins are beyond repentance, that I am unlovable and hopeless beyond repair until I found ...

From Loser to a Leader

Image
Topic:               From Loser to a Leader Theme:             Transforming a Loser to a Leader Title:                 There are No Losers in God’s Transforming Hands Texts:                Gospel, Acts and Epistle of Peter Introduction: How can God transform a loser to a leader? Christians are followers of Christ: the Victor! We who follow Him must live up to that testimony as leader of our pack.

But his journey to the pinnacle of leadership was filled with rough and life-changing experiences that transformed him to a remarkable leader in the history.

Forgiveness: A Difficult Word?

Image
Forgiveness is a difficult word, sometimes, we say we have forgiven a person yet we cannot forget the offense they have done to us, and such concept is in contrast with the true meaning of forgiveness. In Matthew 6: 14-15, Jesus encouraged forgiveness, “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” We have the assurance of God’s forgiveness because God Himself promised that when we come to Him in humility and confess our sins, He is just and faithful to forgive us our sins [1 st John 1:9]. People can receive forgiveness no matter how grave their offenses are, they can be sure that their sins will be wiped out and will be remembered no more. But when people offended us it is difficult for us to release forgiveness, we always find excuses not to forgive them, we always see ourselves as the most offended one, we always demand our rights over those who o...

Maintaining Your Purity

Image
I was listening to 702 DZAS when I heard the portion: “The President’s Report”, Pastor Dan Andrew Cura was discussing the issue of Sexual Abstinence and maintaining your purity while waiting for the right one. I’m very thankful because the station has launched this campaign which will educate and give awareness to young people on how premarital sex can stain their purity, innocence and commitment to God, family and even in their relationship with their special someone. According to survey mentioned by Pastor Dan Andrew Cura the percentage of teens to young people who have engaged in premarital sex have soared to 70%, this is a saddening news because it shows that our youth devalue their worth, purity and future in exchange for worldly and passing pleasures of sin. Experts say that some of the contributing factors to this situation are family conflicts, media and entertainment, environment and personal issues. These problems may have been taken cared of if our youth has a stro...
