We all have a story to tell about forgiveness. We face disappointments, we face hurts, we face a lot of unkind words, accusations, gossip and slander. So long as we remember, forgiving others is not an option so that we can live free from pain, free from guilt, free from bitterness and free from resentments. We are aware for example that there are many people who are hurting in this world, some because their husbands and spouses left them, mothers and fathers who have grown old and forsaken...

Recently
I had a dream. In my dream, I saw a number of people whom I could only
recognize as probably missionaries. This bold company of people were
preparing to share the gospel and reach out a number of people and
tribes. They prayed. They prepared. But what stunned me afterwards is to
see that the same people were hacked to death and killed. When I saw
what happened I run and run away from the scene out of fear for my life
and mortified at what happened. Upon waking up I wondered wh... Continue reading ...
I was greeted by the grim news that Lola Sol, as we fondly call the
former chief of the Department of Education Culture and Sports (now Dep
Ed) then at Bulanao, passed away. Her husband had just gone to be with
the Lord last January and to suddenly realize that she too had been
called at the city gates of the New Jerusalem above seems impossible and
unexpected. I came to know my lola personally during my kinder and
elementary days because my mother who was employed as a clerk at D... Continue reading ...
Just as faith is the door for God’s
Kingdom in one’s life, fear is the door for Satan to enter into a
person’s life and oppress him. He controls people, kingdoms and nations
through fear. To the degree that one has allowed fear in his life that
is the degree that he is influenced by fear. Every time there is
distrust among nations and among friends, it is because one has been
affected by fear.
For example the conflict between Christians and Muslims in the south
is not merely ... Continue reading ...
How can someone have faith in God? Is it fact or feeling? Or how does
one know he already believes in God? I had such questions on my mind
when I was just starting up as a disciple. When I found that the Lord’s
disciples too had the same questions, I found, I was not in bad shape or
in bad company. They too had many questions but Jesus did not answer
them by explaining their faith. He pointed them to the Source, who alone
can grow such faith. I was always wary whether I am growing up ... Continue reading ...
In an amazing twist of destiny, we have been spared from
another possibly deadly typhoon attack but praise the Lord for as we
have all been praying, God stopped Ramil in the sea. Can God really
stop a typhoon, much less a superstrong one in the radar of weather
forecasters? Yes, that truth is easier realized than anything when we
think that He is both just, merciful and loving God. God can stop any
percolating typhoon, windstorm, thunderstorm or even tornado. Even at
the risk of being ...
How can one be a living witness? This is one of the most urgent
questions and probably the most answered question by those who have
gone through a Christian witnessing course. But is witnessing the whole
point of being a living witness? Jesus called Himself the Faithful
witness (Revelation 1:5) and the Faithful and True witness (Revelation
3:14) while He also called Antipas as His faithful and true witness who
was martyred for His name in the city of Pergamum (Revelation 2:13).
The Word witne... Continue reading ...
In one of the most prophetic songs I have ever heard, Michael W. Smith’s Above All declares the majesty and power of God over the creation and dominion of man and all created beings. God’s power is really above all authority, above all powers, above all kings, above all thrones and dominions-He truly is the epitome, the one above all things. If Jesus is then King above all, what is the question? This is the struggle of all believers during times of crisis and during trials. Can God be tru... Continue reading ...
The following is our tribute to the family of Renan Gup-Ay who
passed without even saying goodbye to his family because he was
snatched into eternity while studying Medicine as a second year proper
at St. Louis University Baguio. May the Lord comfort all the bereaving
family and give them the grace to stand and face the storms in this
life. God bless you all.
A monologue of the dead
How fallen is the man of the family,
How terror has befallen us all,
Death has taken one slain,
Where is victor... Continue reading ...
My wife suddenly had uncontrollable spasms in her stomach on the
midnight of September 5. It begun last September 3 during the night
after we just finished celebrating the 2nd birthday of our toddler
Germane Amber. We thought that her spasms were simple stomach aches. My
wife also told me that it was different already because our first child
was born premature at 8 months last September 3, 2007 in Davao.
Her labor of spasms were unknown to her because when Germane was
born, she got spotting ... Continue reading ...
And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing
that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all
bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types
of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
(Ephesians 4:30-32)
We can offend God. Have we ever thought about this? Many thinks that
God must ... Continue reading ...
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose trust is the Lord.
"For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit." (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
There are instances in our lives when changes happen and set a
milestone. These are events made memorable because of their impact in
our lives can be simply different. The change can b... Continue reading ...
