  On a daily basis, we take risks. We ride buses driven by people we do not know. Or eat food sold by someone we don't know. Or but stuffs from people we don't know. How sure are we that the bus driver isn't suicidal or a terrorist? Or the food vendor doesn't put poison on your food? Or the vendor you buy your stuffs from isn't selling stolen items or defective items?  We trust many people because we cannot operate without a level of trust and faith.  Many times we put our lives in the hands of someone else. How sure are you your barber won't slit your throat?  And yet we struggle trusting God. God gave everything including the air we breath and the ability to string together letters to express our ideas.  Our whole life, God has been faithful and gracious. Yet we struggle to give Him the same trust we give fallen people. God so loved us that He gave His only begotten Son to die for us. He removed the sin barrier and no man will go to Hell because of sins. Jesus...

  Matthew 7:24-25 [24]"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. [25]And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Bagyuhin ang bansang Pilipinas. Every year, may bumibisitang 20-22 bagyo at ang mga ito ay may dalang malakas na hangin, malakas na ulan at madalas ay pagbabaha. Maraming sambahayang may mga bahay na gaw sa light materials ang lumilikas upang maiwasan ang pinsalang dulot nito.  Ironically, mahalaga ang mga bagyo upang mapanatiling may laman ang mga dam na mahalaga sa irigasyon, water distribution at energy generation. Walang choice ang mga ordinaryong Juan kundi mag-adapt at mag-survive.  Bukod sa mga pisikal na bagyong dumating sa buhay, marami pang bagyo ng buhay ang may dalang mas malaking pinsala sa ating mga buhay at pananampalataya. Karamdaman, sakuna, kakulanga...

  Psalms 119:11 [11] Your word I have treasured in my heart , That I may not sin against You . Paano ang tamang pagdala ng Salita ng Diyos? Bitbit sa kamay? Nasa bag? Nakaipit sa likod? Ang pinakamaiging paraan upang bitbitin ang Salita ng Diyos ay sa puso.  Maaaring mawala o masunog ang mga pisikal nating Biblia ngunit kung ito ay natatago sa puso, hindi ito kailan man maiwawala.  Gawing nating disiplinang isaulo ang Salita ng Diyos. Ito ang magpoprotekta sa ating isipan kapag nahaharap tayo sa pagsubok ng buhay.  Nagagawa nating isaulo ang mga komplikadong pormula sa matematika o pangalan ng kung sinu-sinong bayani ngunit hindi natin magawang isaulo ang beysiko ng Kasulatan.  Nakapagtataka bang hindi tayo makapag-isip nang maayos kapag tayo ay nahaharap sa mga pagsubok? Wala tayong mapagkukunan ng lakas at karunungan.  Paglaanan nating itago sa ating mga puso ang Salita ng Diyos. For sure we will be thankful.  Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag n...

  This will be the 6th and last installment of blogs on Charlie Kirk's legacy.  Charlie Kirk would have been 32 years old. But a murderer's bullet ended his life. Still he did in his short life what most cannot their entire life.  One way we can honor his legacy is growing in our faith.  Ours shouldn't be a passing fad. His legacy should live through us.  We must become the new Charlie Kirks. Living with conviction, living that leads with example and willing to dialogue to those who disagree. We will not be cowered into hiding, we will live our convictions with poise and grace.  We will let our lights shine but we won't shove our Bibles to anyone's throat. We will show them the superiority (and exclusivity) of Christianity through godly living, not by force.  This is easier said than done. Especially if you live in a world saturated with pagan thinking.  This cannot be done alone. This is better done as a community. We will encourage and exhort ea...

  Charlie Kirk would have been 32 years old. But a murderer's bullet ended his life. Still he did in his short life what most cannot their entire life.  One way we can honor his legacy is leading by example. It is one thing to preach something; it is another matter to practice it. An entirely different matter to die for it.  We should live with conviction that what the Bible says is true. It doesn't matter if the world laugh at what they perceived as backwards, obsolete, chauvinistic Biblical morality, we will live with poise and grace.  We will live with humility. We will live our Biblical convictions but we will not shove it to unbelievers' throats.  We will live a walk that will inspired others to follow Christ because they can see Christ in us. They see us living grace and truth.  These are easier said than done. But if we wanted to honor Charlie Kirk, we need to live a life that leads by example. It won't do when our deeds are separated from our creeds...

  Charlie Kirk would have been 32 years old. But a murderer's bullet ended his life. Still he did in his short life what most cannot their entire life.  One way we can honor his legacy is growing in our faith.  Charlie died for what he believed in- Biblical truth. We can honor that death by growing in that faith.  That means spending time in prayers because praying is an admission of our inadequacy and our reliance to God.  That means spending time in His Word. Studying and applying the Word of God. His Word will grow us to Christ-likeness. That means living in His image. We will faithfully represent Him not only in words but in deeds.  When people see us, they will see Christ.  Growing in faith is the best way to show that Charlie didn't die in vain.  Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya.

Charlie Kirk would have been 32 years old. But a murderer's bullet ended his life. Still he did in his short life what most cannot their entire life.  One way we can honor his legacy is standing for the truth.  It is easy to deny truth when it is unpopular. We can pretend to agree with the crowd to avoid ostracism.  To be "Charlie Kirk" we need to have the courage to stand for the truth even if it is unpopular.  It does not mean being obnoxious. It means willingness to respectfully dialogue with the other side.  It means being willing to talk and discuss ideas.  It means willingness to stand for Biblical truth even if others think it is backward and obsolete.  It means living truth in the midst of a world given to lies.  We may have lost Charlie Kirk but if we're willing to stand for the truth, we can raise new Charlies.  Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktr...

  Today (October 14 in States and 15 sa Pinas), Charlie would have been 32. So young and yet now a symbol of Christian conservatism. What better way to celebrate him than to stand for what he believed? One way we can honor Kirk is to prioritize our families. We will cherish time with loved ones and put family first in all we do.  Colosians 3 and Ephesians 6 show what Christian family should look like. It is a family defined by love, submission and respect.  As Christians, the world is watching us. If they see a family that is loving and cherising, this will be a testimony to them on what it means to be a member of the family of God. A family that shows discord is giving bad publicity for the family of God.  As forgiven and loved individuals, our families should show the same love and forgiveness.  When we do, the world will be attracted to Christ, the foundation of all we do.  This is the best way to honor Charlie's legacy. Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. H...

  Today (October 14 in States and 15 sa Pinas), Charlie would have been 32. So young and yet now a symbol of Christian conservatism. What better way to celebrate him than to stand for what he believed? One way we can honor Kirk is to be faithful to our spouses. We will honor, love and serve our spouses with devotion and respect. Ephesians 5 shows that the husband-wife relationship pictures the Christ-Church relationship. When we love and serve our wives, we are showing to the word Christ's sacrificial love for His Church. When our wives submit and respect us, they show the Church's submission to Christ.  This is our testimony first and foremost to our own family. This is our testimony to the world.  If we keep on loving our spouses the world will see the love that exists between God and man and that should exists between men.  This is the best way to honor Charlie Kirk.  Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya.
