One might ask: What might the Church have done that could have slowed down today’s relativism and our entitlement culture? The answer: Nothing. God set His Church in motion, right behind Christ’s death, right? So everything was optimal for us. The Holy Spirit now indwelt the believer. All the teachings were there for us. All […]
Are You Known By Your Love?
Remember the time Jesus was harsh, irritated, argumentative, hateful? Nope. That’s because He never was! How are you known? Are you known by your hatred of something? Or are you known for your love? Where is the love? Show me by how you treat me.
That Moment In Time
There is a certain moment in time when everything changes, when a mere human is transformed by God into a completely different type of human. That moment changes everything for that person. Nothing is the same anymore. A new creature has been born – really and truly “born again” into new life in Christ. This magic moment!
Accepting What God Rejects
(Really Saved, or Really NOT?) A troubling question I am having these days is, “How far from God’s values can I stray, and still be “following Him”? Do I accept what God rejects? Life, ultimately, is not about what I think – it is about God, and what He has declared. Scripture says we are […]

A Light at the End of the Tunnel
When I was going to the University of California, I had to take a class in Calculus and it was a very interesting class but the teacher was Chinese and didn’t speak English too well. And the class for me was very hard, especially the final which consisted of 5 questions that you had to […]

Miracles God has done in my life
PIC: Alan, Dennis, Peter The study of Joshua 3:1-17 to 4:1-7 talks about the crossing of the Jordan river. Joshua wanted the 12 tribes of Israel to be recognized and so the Israelis built an altar of 12 stones as a monument to them. And each time someone saw those 12 stones they would be […]
Fighting the Good Fight
When I accepted God´s offer of salvation, God then and there forgave me and accepted me as His child. The battle is then to maintain our life holy, strong in Him. Even after becoming a child of the King, we have the option to ¨offer our body to sin¨(Romans 6) and shipwreck this life we live on earth. Once we are His, we are then to live in a manner that pleases our Jesus Christ – our Lord.

Punishment and Reward
There are punishment and rewards because God is just (Deuteronomy 32:4), and what we sow we do reap (Galatians 6:7-8). But that does not mean that there does not exist another side to suffering. Jesus suffered death so that we could have eternal life (John 6:47, 50; Titus 1:2; 1 John 5:11).
Should you forgive even though no confession is made?
Some say yes, that you should forgive those who do not ask forgiveness. Others say no, that the person should not be forgiven until they repent and then you can forgive them. Those that say you should forgive an unrepentant person use verses like Colossians 3:13 that say, “Bear with each other and forgive whatever […]
Giving of Tithes and Offerings
We are servants of Christ, stewards of what he entrusts into our hands. Biblically, our giving belongs to His Church – not to our local body of believers. Those who serve the Lord in ministry are deserving of receiving support from His Church.
Letter to Danny
We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One. And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and we have to choose Truth over lies.
