Gospel-centered at Taglish na sermons, books at iba pang disciplemaking resources para sa mga Filipino
In my last post, binanggit ko ang isang dahilan why we rejoice kahit na mahirap ang kalagayan natin ngayon dahil sa coronavirus pandemic. We thank the Lord kasi mas kumakalat ang salita ng Diyos, mas nagiging attentive din ang mga tao sa Word of God. Kaso, sa pagkalat ng Salita ng Diyos, kasabay din niyan... Continue Reading →
Parehong Christians at non-Christians ang nakakaranas ng adverse effects ng coronavirus. Pero dapat magkaiba ang responses natin - deeper trust in for God and more love for our neighbors. Merong ilang mga various reasons kung bakit sa halip na maging iba ang response natin, nagiging pareho lang din nila ang approach natin about suffering and evil.
Because of this pandemic, mas lalo pa ngang nagiging viral ang Word of God. And in that we rejoice. Walang anumang forces in nature ang may kapangyarihang kumontrol sa Word of God. Hindi mo pwedeng i-lockdown ang salita niya. "The word of God is not bound” (2 Tim. 2:9).
It is good na mas marami tayong oras ngayon, at mas maraming dahilan para manalangin. Pero mas mainam din kung maiintindihan nating mabuti kung ano ang design ni Lord sa prayer.

I want to be able to say that the Luzon Convention is in good shape, but that would be dishonest. I want... Continue Reading →
Pastors, we're still a bit of a mess. We're all at times very poor examples of the truths we teach. We all have the dark ability to expound a passage that lauds God's grace yet be a husband or father of ungrace in the car on the way home. You can lead a men's ministry... Continue Reading →
The gospel is not about something we do but about what has been done for us, and yet the gospel results in a whole new way of life. This grace and the good deeds that result must be both distinguished and connected. The gospel, its results, and its implications must be carefully related to each... Continue Reading →
