An Eye For An Eye, A Tooth For A Tooth
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’m going to tell you a story about my father. My father worked in the engineering industry for nearly twenty years. He was a hard worker and always did his best to maintain a strong level of efficiency. On a daily basis, he had to work with heavy, loud machinery and he was employed by one of the major oil companies. He was never provided with proper protection for his ears, and before he left work he...
Christian Church: 5 Reasons Why People are Leaving
Some come into the faith, and some leave – that’s just how it is. But quite recently, the number of those who are turning away from the faith are at an all-time high. This attrition is on a global scale, leaving pastors from one Christian church to another wondering. This, however, shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, the Bible did say that the love of many will grow cold in the last days. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t...
The Ten Commandments of Love
The Bible tells us that God Himself spoke the 10 Commandments from Mount Sinai God said in Exodus 20:2, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” The fact that God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt clearly shows that the reason He gave the Law was not to enslave them again but instead to make them and us spiritually free under His covenant relationship and guidance....
Honor God’s Name
Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.” The Hebrew word for “take” has many meanings, but its basic meaning is to “to lift, to bear up, to carry, and to raise”. “Name” in this verse refers to not just His names as in God but really God’s character, His person, His position. Taking the name of God in vain goes beyond swearing in...
An Open Letter to My Dear Brother in Christ Wesley
I can’t imagine that it’s been two years already when we first met in CCF-Alabang. I can still remember that I was the very first person to welcome you in CCF during Saturday’s PUSH (Pray Until Something Happen). The days passed and because of our same passion in loving the Lord, we became close to each other. Aside from our discipler Ian P., you’re one of the few people that really knows me well. I’m blessed that we became an...
The Heart of Discipleship
The Greek term for “disciple” in the New Testament is mathetes, which means more than just “student” of “learner”. A disciple is a “follower of Christ. Tragically, many people in churches today believe that they can be Christians but not disciples. They believe to be a disciple is optional because they don’t have the time, skills, knowledge or commitment at this stage in their life. Here...
Idolatry: I Don’t Only Love And Trust Righteous Yahweh!
A simple definition of idolatry is anything you love more or attribute your success to other than God. Judges 17 shows Israel falling into idolatry and moral decline. Israel, the nation that was to set the example for spiritual living, had instead become morally depraved. You would wonder how in the world did the people of Israel after seeing what God had done for them be this pathetic in their understanding of who God is. What are...
