No Greater Love

An old church song goes this way: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercy never comes to an end; they are new every morning, new every morning, great is thy faithfulness Oh Lord, great is thy faithfulness” It may never come to pass to our thoughts how true this song in our existence...

Big Ones Do Cry

People around the globe find it humiliating and struggling to cry out in times of trouble. Most specifically Men! We have been fed by this world with the notion that men are not supposed to cry. They should always be strong and firm, always with pride and heads up to say “I’m the man!” Machismo...

The Foundation of Faith

Our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. - Psalms 33:21 One significant problem concerning our faith is reliance upon personal experience.

A Well-Built Life

He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. – Psalms 1:3 When looking for a builder to construct your home, your most important question is: “Are his homes well built?”...

Being a Servant

“Come to Me. All you who are weary and hardened and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28 – 30 The word gentle appears as...

What is Your Sycamore Tree?

Zacchaeus was a tax collector. He was a sinner and an outcast, hated by most people in their society. Yet when he heard about this certain man, known to associate with sinners just like him, he couldn’t help but be curious.

Feeling Burned Out?

When an old worn-out tire is left on car, the result is often a blow out on the highway. You’ve seen it before- shredded rubber everywhere. If someone had taken care of that tire a little sooner, the whole mess could have been avoided. Do you feel like a tire that is about to burst apart or one...

Do You Have Needs? Jesus Is All-Sufficient

I remember in my psychology class, we have discussed about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We have lots of needs, tons of demands. There are times when we run out of our means- our resources to meet our needs. So what should we do? Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will meet all your needs...

Make Him Smile

What was the most expensive gift you have given to someone? Do you still remember how much it had cost you? Do you still remember how much effort did it take just for you to be able to give that gift? Oftentimes when we give something to our loved one, it takes too much time and effort for us to give...

It’s Not Yet Over

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7 You have probably heard someone say, “Please be patient, God isn’t finish with me yet.” That light- hearted saying is absolutely true. Oftentimes, we wonder over the things...

Facing the Future

Who knows what lies ahead? Your plans and your goals can determine it, but who ascertains it? Only God can. He is cautiously, wisely, and purposely masterminding all things according to His schedule and eternal design. He is the headmaster planner of our life, and he regulates it. In Him, we can be certain...

Giving Our Best To God

“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice- the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is it too much to ask?” -Romans 12:1 (NLT) After college, I pursued post-graduate studies.  I needed to...

Love thy Enemies

Jesus said to his disciples, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends...
