Living Life

Ngayong gabi, pagkatapos ng nakakapagod na maghapon nagpapasalamat ako sa pagkakataon na makasama ang mga taong iyon kanina at makadalo sa prayer gathering. Third year highschool (Grade 9), ang unang pagdalo ko sa prayer meeting sa church. Malapit na ang school ko sa bahay kaya nakakauwi na ako ng mas maaga at hindi na masyadong pagod. Five years sa college, bedspacer na ako. Natigil na ang pagdalo ko sa prayer meetings. Hanggang naka-graduate na ako at nagkatrabaho.  Maraming taon na ang nagdaan. Hanggang nalaman ko na wala na rin palang prayer meeting ang church. Nakakalungkot, ang pinakamahalagang gawain sa simbahan ay  natabunan na ng ibang gawain. Eleven years na nawala ako sa prayer gathering. Nagkaroon na lang ulit ako ng pagkakataon nang pinili kong hindi na muna magtrabaho, magfocus sa anak ko at tumulong sa church ministry. Nanalangin na nawa magkaroon na ulit ng prayer meeting sa church. Praise God! Sa tulong ng aming pastor at ilang mga elders ay nasimulan ...

Question: WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH? A wonderful Message today delivered by our pastor. Yet to all who received him [Jesus Christ], to those believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12) Pero may iba na kahit tumanggap na sa Lord and have received the salvation, di pa rin nauunawaan ang pagiging anak ng Diyos. Some think that it is foolish or bragging when someone claim to be children of God. But it is actually true, when you believed in Jesus Christ you become his son or daughter. He adopted you to become his children and you should live as your Father lives; act properly as His children. Being God's children in not just accepting and believing in Jesus, but being like Him. 1 John 3:2, which also in my previous cover photo,  says, "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But when we know that when he [Jesus Christ] appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." ...

The 17th and 22nd of February 2019 are two of the great events of my year! It was a great privilege to be able to share the message about True Love Waits to the young people in our church and school. We came up in this message because we feel the need of teaching our young people about true love, sex, and God's will.  Purity is our main theme. As the appointed speaker, I divided the topic into 3 segments. The TRUE for true love. The LOVE, the meaning of love and its great examples. The WAIT, waiting for God's will and having self-control and saying NO to premarital sex. Here is the glimpse of how the message goes. TRUE . No greater love than the love of our God, our Creator, because God himself is love (1 John 4:8). From the day of creation He already showed His love to us when He made us in His own image (Genesis 1:27) and He treated us as His own children. God breathed into us His Spirit that makes us live. He gave us the gift of free will that allows us to candidly ...
