the MESSAGE

One needs to be a sinner before he can be saved from hell and i think everybody is qualified. Sadly, many preachers rarely touch the issue on sin because they are afraid to offend people or shall i say-- they are trying to please people. Sin, repentance, and salvation are inseparable that the absence of one makes the rest meaningless.

The trend now is tolerance where the intolerant occupies the bottommost spot. There is a problem in that concept for if it is true then the "intolerant" will not exist because "tolerance" should accept it as such. it is like saying that "words have no meaning therefore they cannot hurt anyone" -- if words have no meaning then the statement itself is senseless for its usage of "words". Illogical, what else could they be? Far from the truth, far from the Lord who is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. Failure to teach sin and repentance along with salvation is an empty message.

Teaching God's word becomes difficult when man tries to alter the direct message to keep it "politically correct". Maybe the fact that Jesus taught more about hell than about heaven has been forgotten. Actually He forgave first the sins of the lame man before He healed him. Moses lost everyting in the wilderness to fulfill his calling. Paul paralleled self-righteousness to filthy rags when God's holiness is the standard. King David is the man after God's own heart because David has a repented heart.

When man heeds God's word it shall be revealed to him the condition of his heart and if he recognizes the working of the Holy Spirit then he will be on his knees afterwards. Recognition of sin is humility. Repentance is acknowledging that God is right if we are wrong and we ask for His forgiveness.

while we continue to repent of our sins to keep right with God, salvation is a single occassion in a man's life (if genuine) that would last for eternity.as christians, we do not "work for" our salvation but we "work it out" just like how physical exercises keep the body in shape. the body needs physical food and exercise to keep it strong and healthy. the spirit likewise needs spiritual food through God's word and exercise by living it out to keep it fit before God.

On the cross Jesus said, "it is finished". If salvation could be earned through good deeds then His coming will be in naught. The Ten commandments while presented as a good and godly list, it shows more how frail man could be in keeping the law and how hopeless he could be in meeting God's standard which is perfection. Sin is missing the bull's eye. God is holy holy holy therefore man in his sinfulness cannot dwell with him. However, God is love and He loves His creation unconditionally.With that love, God became a man, dwelt among His people, lived perfectly and died to redeem men from going to hell.

God does not force His love to anyone. Love is a choice. the freedom of man to choose God over sin is a gesture of love towards God. a love mutually-shared is the happiest thought. the heavens celebrate when one sinner repents and receives Christ as His personal Savior and God while to God it is His most-awaited love confession from man.

How can we not love God when His goodness never departed us since our conception OR since He thought of creating man?

CHRISTMAS is about God and His love for man. May all accept the greatest gift of all ;)-- wa juy magmahay nga nihigugma sya sa Ginoo.



Emmanuel Has Come
by: don moen

Christmas is about His glory
Christmas is about His grace
Christmas is a gift of love
Our father gave us
More than just another story
About a special time and place
Christmas is a time to lift
A song of praise

For God with us
And we celebrate
The glory of His presence
Christ has come
To fill our hearts with love
He came to save us
King of kings and Lord of lords
His Name is Jesus
God with us
Emmanuel has come

Angels fill the night with singing
God is reaching out to man
Bringing us a gift of hope
In Christ the Saviour
More than just a time of giving
This is God’s eternal plan
And Christmas is the reason
We can sing again

going there

still in flesh
expects to be cared in return
caught up with the blessing than the Giver
empty an innocent inbox- hasty response

calls a friend instead of God when in trouble
plans tomorrow during sunrise
busy days add nothing but sighs
i know, i need to grow more

Print, Cut and Roll

The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life. - James L. Christensen

You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart. - D.L. Moody

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it. - C.S. Lewis

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians. - Samuel Adams

Therefore the Christian heart, since it has been thoroughly persuaded that all things happen by God's plan, and that nothing takes place by chance, will ever look to him as the principal causes of things, yet will give attention to the secondary causes in their proper place. -- John Calvin

CHARLES SPURGEON

1. It is not hard for the Lord to turn night into day. He that sends the clouds can as easily clear the skies. Let us be of good cheer. It is better farther on. Let us sing Hallelujah by anticipation.

2. A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

3. Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

4. Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

5. By perseverance the snail reached the ark.

6. Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

7. Giving is true having.

8. I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.

9. If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

10.It is not well to make great changes in old age.

11. Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

12. Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel.

13. No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.

14. Of two evils, choose neither.

15. Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.

16. We are all at times unconscious prophets.

17. You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.

18. You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect.

19. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”

C. S. LEWIS

1. Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

2. Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.

3. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

4. I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

5. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

6. Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.

7. The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

8. There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."

9. What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

10. You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

MAX LUCADO

1. A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

2. Lower your expectations of earth. This isn't heaven, so don't expect it to be.

3. You change your life by changing your heart.
