How to Begin a Relationship with God

by Insight for Living

The world is filled with competing theories about God, religion, and salvation. Alternate views of Jesus vie for our attention at every turn. Different paths to different gods market themselves in the ever-changing desert of ideas. Yet in the midst of this world of contradictory claims, Jesus Christ made a bold assertion: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).

In a confusing world filled with signs pointing us down different roads of philosophies and religions, can we be sure we’ve placed our feet on the right path? The answer to this question comes from the all-time bestselling book, translated into more languages and read by more people than any other book in human history. The Bible alone clearly marks the way of truth and salvation with four vital markers.

1.Our Spiritual Condition: Totally Depraved

The first marker is rather personal. One look in the mirror of Scripture, and our human condition becomes painfully clear:

There is none righteous, not even one;There is none who understands,There is none who seeks for God;All have turned aside, together they have become useless;There is none who does good,There is not even one. (Romans 3:10-12)

We are all sinners through and through—totally depraved, completely corrupt. Now, that doesn’t mean we’ve committed every atrocity known to humankind. We’re not as bad as we can be, just as bad off as we can be. Sin colors all our thoughts, motives, words, and actions.

You still don’t believe it? Look around. Everything in this broken world bears the smudge marks of our sinful nature. Despite our best efforts to create a paradise on earth, crime statistics continue to soar, divorce rates keep climbing, and families keep crumbling.

Something has gone terribly wrong in our society and in ourselves, something deadly. Contrary to how the world would repackage it, “me first” living doesn’t equal rugged individuality and freedom; it equals death. As Paul said in his letter to the Romans, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23)—our emotional and physical death through sin’s destructiveness, and our spiritual death from God’s righteous judgment of our sin. This brings us to the second marker: God’s character.

2. God’s Character: Infinitely Holy

When he observed the condition of the world and the people in it, the wise King Solomon concluded, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2; 12:8). The fact that we know things are not as they should be points us to a standard of goodness beyond ourselves. Our sense of injustice in life implies a perfect standard of justice. That standard and source is God Himself. And God’s standard of holiness contrasts starkly with our sinful condition.

Scripture says that “God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). He is absolutely holy, which creates a problem for us. If He is so pure, how can we who are so impure relate to Him?

Perhaps we could try being better people, try to tilt the balance in favor of our good deeds, or seek out wisdom and knowledge for self-improvement. Throughout history, people have attempted to live up to God’s standard by keeping the Ten Commandments or by living out their own code of ethics. Unfortunately, no one can come close to satisfying the demands of God’s law. Romans 3:20 says, “By the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.”

3. Our Need: A Substitute

So here we are, sinners by nature, sinners by choice, trying to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps and attain a relationship with our holy Creator. But every time we try, we fall flat on our faces. We can’t live a good enough life to make up for our sin, because God’s standard isn’t “good enough”—it’s perfection. And we can’t make amends for the offense our sin has created without dying for it.

Who can get us out of this mess?

If someone could live perfectly, honoring God’s law, and would bear sin’s death penalty for us—in our place—then we would be saved from our predicament. But is there such a person? Thankfully, yes!

Meet your substitute—Jesus Christ. He is the One who took death’s place for you!
[God] made [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

4. God’s Provision: A Savior

God rescued us by sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins (1 John 4:9-10). Jesus was fully human and fully divine (John 1:1, 14), a truth that ensures His understanding of our weaknesses, His power to forgive, and His ability to bridge the gap between God and us (Romans 5:6-11). In short, we are “justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24). Two words in this verse bear further explanation: justified and redemption.

Justification is God’s act of mercy, in which He declares believing sinners righteous, while they are still in their sinning state. Justification doesn’t mean that God makes us righteous so that we never sin again; rather, He declares us righteous—much like a judge pardons a guilty criminal. Because Jesus took our sin upon Himself and suffered our judgment on the cross, God forgives our debt and proclaims us PARDONED.

Redemption is Christ’s act of paying the price to release us from sin’s bondage. God sent His Son to bear His wrath for all of our sins—past, present, and future (Romans 3:24-26;2 Corinthians 5:21). In humble obedience, Christ willingly endured the shame of the cross for your sake (Mark 10:45; Romans 5:6-8; Philippians 2:8). Christ’s death satisfied God’s righteous demands. He no longer holds your sins against you, because His own Son paid the penalty for them. You are freed from the slave market of death, never to be a slave again!
Placing Your Faith in Christ

These four markers pointing us to the way of truth describe how God has provided a way to Himself through Jesus Christ. Since the price has been paid in full by God, we must respond to His free gift of eternal life in total faith and confidence in Him to save us. We must step forward into the relationship with God that He has prepared for us—not by doing good works or being a good person, but by coming to Him just as we are and accepting His justification and redemption by faith.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.(Ephesians 2:8-9)

We accept God’s gift of salvation simply by placing our faith in Christ alone for the forgiveness of our sins. Would you like to enter a relationship with your Creator by trusting in Christ as your Savior? If so, here’s a simple prayer you can use to express your faith:

Dear God,

I know that my sin has put a barrier between You and me. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to die in my place. I trust in Jesus alone to forgive my sins, and I accept His gift of eternal life. I ask Jesus to be my personal Savior and the Lord of my life. Thank You. In Jesus’s name,

amen.

Whatever the Devil is Trying to Hit You With: Shake It Off !

Children of God, we must never allow the devil to get an upper hand on us. We must stand firm, steadfast in the faith, knowing for a fact that God is a good God and that He will meet our needs! If you're under attack right now, I believe this article will be of help to you. We start with Paul shaking off an attack of satan.

Paul Shakes Off An Attack of Satan

The Devil Tries to Kill Paul But Paul Shakes Him Off

Acts 28:3-6:

3.And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, no doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5. And he shook off the beast into the fire and felt no harm. 6. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said the he was a god.

In the above scriptures we find Paul gathering a bundle of sticks. After gathering the sticks Paul lays them on a fire. This is when a venomous snake comes out of the bundle and fastens onto his hand. Immediately Paul shakes the snake off into the fire and felt no harm. All those standing around thought Paul was going to die. But, much to their amazement, he didn’t. Instead, Paul shook the snake off into the fire and then went on about his business.

Has the devil come out of the woodwork and attacked you in some way? Is he trying to inject his poisonous venom into your life? Maybe he is trying to put depression on you. Maybe he’s attacked your marriage or finances. Perhaps he is trying to penetrate your body with sickness? The devil takes on many forms. He used a snake to attack Paul. He will even appear as an angel of light so stay sober and vigilant in your walk with the Lord. (1st Peter 5:8)

We have power over the devil so don’t allow him to put anything over on you. (Luke 10:19) If you’re under attack exercise your authority over him. Paul shook off the devil’s attack and you can too! So, whatever the devil is trying to do to you, rise up and shake it off.

Command Your Mountain To Be Removed

Another way of shaking off your problems is by commanding them to be removed from your life.

Mark 11:23 says,

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

The devil doesn’t want you to know that you have power to move mountains. He knows when you find that out his world will end. Well I am here to tell you that the devil’s world has come to an end. Jesus provided us with more than enough power to move mountains and defeat the devil. So whatever your problem is, you can move it out of your way.

If the devil has put a mountain in front of you, speak to that mountain. Call it by name. If it is debt, speak to your debt and command it to be removed. If it is sickness, speak to that sickness and tell it to be removed from your body. When you speak to your mountain don’t allow any doubt to come into your heart. Jesus is a man of His Word and He said we could move mountains so let’s get to it.

A Woman Moves a Mountain

I was told about a lady who wanted a mountain moved that was adjacent to her property. She didn’t own this property so she couldn’t do anything in the natural about the mountain being there. But in the spiritual realm she could do something about it. She started praying and speaking to the mountain everyday to be removed. She did this for some time. Then one day some men came with mountain moving equipment and started moving dirt. They leveled that mountain in a short time. She received what she wanted because she had mountain-moving faith and put it into action. The mountain was moved by the words of her mouth.

Would you like to level the devil and get him out of your way? Then speak to him and tell him to GO in the name of Jesus! Submit yourself to God then resist the devil and he will flee. (James 4:7)

If you want a mountain moved, speak to it!

Rise Up and Shake Off Your Problem!

Acts 3:1-9 tells us about a man who was crippled from birth. He had never been able to walk a day in his life. As he sat at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, begging alms, along came Peter and John. Peter said to him, silver and gold have I none but such as I have I give unto you, rise up and walk. Then Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up. The man started leaping and praising God for his healing. This man, with the help of Peter (sometimes we need help from a brother or sister in the Lord) shook off the devil’s attack on his life.

Has the devil crippled you in some area of your life? Is he trying to keep you out of church and away from the work of God? Is he discouraging you with one trial right after the other? Making you think you’ll never be delivered. That you’ll never get to the place you need to be in Christ. Well, rise up and walk back to where you belong spiritually. Don’t allow the devil and the junk he conjures up to cripple you emotionally, financially, spiritually, or even physically for that matter. Rise up and walk by faith just as the lame man above. Rise up and shake off the attack of the devil!

Casting Down Imaginations

2nd Corinthians 10:5 tells us to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

This scripture instructs us to watch our thought life. If you’re going through something that is hard right now, the devil may try to use your imagination against you. If he does, cast down that imagination. Don’t allow him to fill your mind with negative thoughts about your situation. Instead, choose to think on good things. Philippians 4: 7 says, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report. If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. If we fill our minds with good thoughts there won’t be any room for the devil’s thoughts to get in.

Cast the devil out of your thought life. Shake him right out of your head! When a thought comes to your mind that you’re depressed, shake it off! If the devil is trying to clog your mind with fear, shake it off! If you’re sick and a thought comes to your mind that God won’t heal you. Shake it off! When you think you can’t go on. Shake it off and keep on walking by faith.

Hang On! God Will Bring Deliverance To You!

I don’t know what you’re going through at this time, but whatever it is God will bring deliverance to you. In the midst of all your trouble God is right there. He is ready, willing, and more than able to reach out and touch you. The devil will tell you that God doesn’t care. That He won’t heal you. That you’ll never be delivered from your present circumstances and that you’ll never receive any peace from the turmoil you’re in. These are all lies of the devil. God is a good God so don’t believe anything to the contrary. If you’re sick God will heal you. If you’re having a financial struggle God will meet that need. No matter the type of satanic attack you’re under, God cares and wants to help. Tell the devil to take a hike. Shake him off!

Until next time remember, I said it and you read it, right here at The Christian Online Magazine.

What is faith?

Faith is a Substance: A Spiritual Material
Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of the things hoped for; the evidence of the things not seen."

Faith is the substance from which our prayer life should be assembled. According to the dictionary another word for substance is material. So faith is not just a substance, it’s actually the material of which our prayers are made.

Let’s say you were going to build a house. You would use the precise material (substance) that is needed to start the foundation before you even thought about the walls, windows, flooring etc.

So before we do anything else concerning our faith walk we need to make certain that our foundation is secure in Jesus. He is our Rock. Our faith should be grounded in Him because He is the Author and finisher of our faith. (See Hebrews 12:2, Matthew 7:24-25, and I Corinthians 10:4)

After we accept Jesus as Savior, He is the foundation on which we build our faith. If we don’t lay a solid foundation, however, anything else that we build on our foundation will not hold up. So we must be certain that the faith we have is truly of the Lord.

Remember; the only way to attain spiritual success is to use the precise spiritual material that is required. The spiritual material I am speaking of is faith, the faith that we obtain from God.
How do we obtain faith?

You may say you don’t have any faith. But God has already given to each of us the measure of faith. (See Romans 12:3) So stop saying you don’t have any faith because we all have faith.

In Luke 17:6 the apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith. By this they meant they wanted to have greater faith. But Jesus said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."

It only takes a small amount of faith to accomplish great things for the Lord. But first, you need to realize that the faith you already have needs to be feed regularly.
How do I feed my faith?

Faith is only attainable from God and through Gods’ Word
Romans 10:17, "So then Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."

As I have already stated above God gives each of us a certain amount of faith. But let’s face it, He is not going to serve everything to us on a silver platter. We need to take the initiative and go to church to hear the preaching of God’s Word. Our faith depends on the Word.

What happens if I don’t go to church?

If you don’t go to church your faith will suffer. Pretty soon you will become discouraged and disheartened. You will get to where you won’t even want to go at all. But – the big thing is—and an important one—if you don’t hear the Word of God preached, your faith will starve, dry up and leave you stranded in a pool of disappointment or even worse, trouble. If you don’t go to church you will be allowing this to happen. The devil wants nothing more but to isolate you from other believers.

What Exactly is the Prayer of Faith?

This kind of faith not only will heal your body, but at the same time, forgive your sins.
James 5:15, "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed any sins, they shall be forgiven him."

This scripture is an interesting one in that, not only do the elders have the faith to heal if called upon, but the person being prayed for may also be forgiven if they have committed any sins. So, with one prayer one can be healed and forgiven.

Many people don’t realize that salvation is not only for the soul but also for the body. When we fully accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior we are no longer in bondage to sin or sickness. You may disagree with me on this, but I can’t find one single scripture in the Bible that states we are to remain sick after we become Children of God.

Lets take look at a couple of scriptures:

3rd John verse 2 says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
St. Matthew 10:1, "And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. "

Jesus gave His disciples power to cast out devils and to heal all manner of sickness.
If He didn’t want to heal Jesus would not have given them the power to heal.
Yes, the above scriptures make it clear. As our soul prospers day to day through reading and obeying Gods’ Word, so should our body and mind. Peradventure we do get sick, through the prayers of our brothers and sister, He will raise us up.
How Long Does It Take for Faith to Work?

Ask until you receive, seek until you find, knock until the door is opened.
Luke 11:9, "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and it shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

When you first pray about something you may not see an answer to your prayer right away. But if you keep praying and relying on Gods’ Word you will reap if you faint not.
So no matter how bad the situation may seem, keep on asking, seeking and knocking until you have what you are asking God for. (See Matthew 7:7-8 and Mark 11:23)

Conclusion:

Yes, your prayers, if prayed in faith, will be answered if you don’t give up and quit the job. If you were building a natural house you wouldn’t give up until the last board was in place, so why would you want to give up on your prayers being answered? After all, it’s more important that your spiritual house is built with the utmost care than your natural house. And, through prayer, this is attainable.

BECOMING A CHRISTIAN: A Relationship with Jesus Christ

2008-08-31T00:05:00.004+12:00

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

For God so loved the world…God created our universe and all that is in it, including us. However he created us in his image and proclaimed us to be "very good" (Genesis 1:31). God loves you and me deeply. The Bible is a love story between God and the people he created and chose.

…he gave his one and only Son…Thinking that we know best, we have turned away from God's direction and protection and we live according to what we think is best for our lives. This rebellion and separation is defined by the Bible as 'sin'.Romans 3:23 says, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God".

The wages of this sin is death and therefore, God, in his great love "he gave his one and only Son". God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.

…that whoever believes in him…It doesn't matter who you are or what you have done, ANYONE who believes that Jesus sacrificed his life, is made right with God (Romans 3:25). "If you [anyone] confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9)

…shall not perish but have eternal life.When we turn back to God and place our faith in Jesus Christ, we have the hope and promise of eternal life! Life forever with your Creator!

Our prayer is that you would discover the author of love... Jesus. His life and death represent the greatest gift of love the world will ever see... a gift for you. All you need to do is accept it... a brand new start to a life lived in relationship with God. Meeting God is as simple as praying a prayer... asking Jesus to meet you right where you are. If you are not sure that you know God, and that you are going to heaven, then make this your prayer today...

"DEAR LORD JESUS,
I NEED YOU... I NEED YOUR GRACE TO FORGIVE ME AND I NEED YOUR LOVE TO CHANGE ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING LOVE. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME LIFE AND ETERNITY. BUT ABOVE ALL, THANK YOU FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR ME.
I ACCEPT YOU AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR. NOW I'M A CHRISTIAN, WHICH MEANS YOU LIVE IN ME.
I BELONG TO YOU. I WILL LIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER...
AMEN."

How to Get Saved?

2008-08-05T23:48:00.005+12:00

How To Get Saved?

If there's one important question you need to ask yourself by now, it's this: "How can I be saved?" If I'll die today, how sure am I, I'll be going to heaven and meet Jesus face to face? All people from the beginning of history will stand before God in judgment. The Bible says, "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, (Heb. 9:27). We need not neglect the preparation necessary for this inevitable accounting.
All men, without distinction, need to be saved for the reason that we all fail miserably to live up to the divine standard. The apostle Paul, in the book of Romans proved that all men are sinners.
Rom. 3:23 - "For all have fallen short of the glory of God."
Rom. 3:10 - "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God."
Scripture teaches repeatedly that sinners are capable of nothing but a flawed and imperfect righteousness.
Isaiah 64:6 - "For all of us have become like one who is unclean , and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;"
Ps. 14:23 - "The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one."
No matter how good we are, we can't eliminate the sinful nature present in all of us. Therefore, the only righteousness by which sinners may be justified is the perfect righteousness of God that is imputed to those who believe. God declares a sinner righteous solely on the basis of the merits of Christ's righteousness.
Only Jesus can do that. Jesus didn't come to help people save themselves; He came to be their Savior from the power and penalty of sin. When a sinner comes to God, repentant and convinced he has no power to save himself from the deserved judgment of divine wrath, and pleads for mercy, God's promise of forgiveness is granted. God then declares him righteous because the sacrifice and obedience of Christ is put to his account.
Col. 1:13-14 - "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Salvation is totally from God through Jesus' death. God paid dearly with the life of His Son, the highest price He could pay. Jesus accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life that He had bought for us.
John 3:16-17 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."
Jesus came to earth to save us because we can't save ourselves from sin and its consequences. Jesus is the only One able to save. He is the only One who has the power of salvation.
Acts 4:12 - "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."
Salvation is something we can never accomplish on our own. There is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. We become Christians through God's unmerited grace, not as the result of any effort, ability, intelligent choice, or act of service on our part. Without God's grace, no person can be saved. To receive it, we must acknowledge that we cannot save ourselves, that only God can save us, and that our only way to receive this loving favor is by faith in Christ.
Titus 2:11 - "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men."
Eph. 2:8-9 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."
2 Tim. 1:9 - "Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to Hid own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity…"
Receiving salvation means we must repent of our sins. It is not enough to be sorry for our sins. If you want to follow Christ, you must be absolutely willing to "turn from sin". To "turn from sin" means changing the direction of your life, by God's power, from selfishness and rebellion against God's laws. At the same time, you must turn to Christ, depending on Him for forgiveness, mercy, guidance, and purpose.
Acts 2:38 - "Peter said to them, 'Repent and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of you sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"
If you have never received Christ as you Lord and Savior, do so without delay. God's invitation is the most important event in our life, no matter how inconveniently it may be timed. Are you making excuses to avoid responding to God's call? We too can resist or delay responding to God's invitation, and our excuses may sound reasonable - work duties, family responsibilities, financial needs, or whatever they may be.
Receiving salvation is simple, direct, and personal. Salvation is as close as your own mouth and heart. People think it must be a complicated process, but it is not. If we believe in our heart and say with our mouth that Christ is the risen Lord, we will be saved.
Romans 10:8-13 - "But what does it say? 'THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, in your mouth and in your heart' - that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, 'WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.' 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

To receive Christ as your Lord and Savior of your life, you can pray something like this:
"Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you asking for Your forgiveness. I repent of all my sins. I want You to come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. I know I cannot save myself. I surrender my life to You and I ask You to take full control of my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."

This blog was created for the purpose of reaching the love and goodness of JESUS to all of us. This blog aims to inspire people with the daily scriptures for our spiritual health. Most of the youth today are busy on the internet playing online games or other things. I hope they will find time reading this blog to help them revive their christianity or for those who do not know JESUS yet and have not recieve him as their personal saviour, i believe it is great start for them. there are many blogs and websites around the internet to reach out those who are lost or for those who want to know JESUS more. GOD bless you more and more!

The Title:JESUS loves us!

2008-06-07T03:23:00.002+12:00

I was wondering what woul i write this time to share with you. actually i was inspired by a brother's blog about his articles on his experiences. I thought it would be nice to tell you about the title of this blog. JESUS loves you! yes he loves us. There is no past tense on that word love because he never stop loving us inspite of our sins. In the bible it says there that we love bacause he first loved us. We know how to love bacause he showed the way and that is through the nailing on the cross 2000 years ago. John 3:16- For GOd loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten SON that whosoever belevieth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. This love is for all and its free. no condition. This love change the world and i pray that we will answer this love by our hearts desire to honor GOD and GOD alone.To GOD be the glory!

official statement on agb-abs-gma dispute and charice pempengco's victory

2007-12-26T18:44:00.000+13:00

This past few days ay narinig natin ang mga balita tungkol sa dayaan sa ratings at ang pagtatagumpay ni charice sa america. Nakakalungkot kasi dahil ung main purpose ng maga tv network na pagbibigay ng serbisyong totoo ay nadumihan dahil lamang sa ratings.
Ako ay naniniwala na kailangan linisin ang isyung ito para maibalik ung tiwala natin sa mga tv network.
Bilang manonood imporatnte sa akin ang salitang "integrity" dahil dito sumasalamin ung totoong hangarin ng bawat isa sa paghahatid ng pawang katotohanan lamang
tayo ayhindi perpekto pero ako ay naniniwala na lahat tayo ay may responsibildad.
Bawat isa sa atin ay kailangan maging alerto sa bawat nangyayari sa ating bayan.

Anf tagumpay ni charice sa America ay napakahalaga sa ating mga pilipino sapagkat ito'y nagbigay ng pag asa sa atin na tayoy dapat maging humble at palaging nasa PANGINOON dahil sya ang nagbigay sa atin ng maga blessings.

Para saa akin , kailanagan natin isipin ang ating mga desisyon. Kailanagan natin ikonsulta sa DIYOS ang ating maga desisyon at humingi sa kanya ng giudance para tayo ay magtagumpay sa lahat ng ating ginagawa
To GOD be the Glory!

THE CROSS IN MY POCKET

2007-12-09T19:12:00.000+13:00

I carry a cross i n my pocket
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I am a Christian
No matter where i maybe.

This little cross is not magic
Nor is it a good luck charm
It isn't meant to protect me
from every physical harm.

It's not for identification
For all the world to see
It's simply an understanding
Between my savior and me.

When I put my hand in my pocket
To bring out a coin or a key
The cross is there to remind me
Of the price he gave for me.

It reminds me too, to be thankful
For my blessing day by day
And to strive to serve him better
In all that I do and say.

It's also a daily reminder
Of the peace and comfort I share
With all who know my Master
And give themselves to HIS care.

So, i carry a cross in my pocket
Reminding no one but me
That JESUS CHRIST is LORD of my life
If only I'll let him be.
