Lack of Christian Resources in Pampanga

Written by Warren | Posted on August 29, 2009 | Comments

There is only one Christian bookstore in the whole of Pampanga (Angeles and San Fernando city) namely Philippine Christian Bookstore (PCBS). I’ve visited the place several times already. Each time I went I would ask the sales lady “where is the theology section?” and she would point me to the center of the room. Seeing [...]

Emma, our household help turned sister in Christ, was baptized last Sunday together with two other youngsters. We just want to share with all of you pictures taken from that “another milestone” in Emma’s Christian walk.

Teampyro on White Horse Inn

Written by Warren | Posted on August 27, 2009 | Comments

For the first time (I think) Teampyro made a post about White Horse Inn. Particularly in response to one of their Podcast session last 14 June 2009 entitled “God’s Story vs. Our Stories.” In the post of Frank Turk (one of the Teampyro group), he mentioned that Michael Horton was emphasizing on grace and failed [...]

Are You a Facebook Christian?

Written by Warren | Posted on August 26, 2009 | Comments

Just remove the name tag “I’m a Christian” then he/she’s immediately blended with the colours of this world. No difference. There are folks that I wouldn’t know they’re pastors unless they professed it. They even speak and use certain Christian terms, and of course, preach them in the pulpit. But just remove the name tag [...]

How to Share the Gospel in the Office

Written by Warren | Posted on August 22, 2009 | Comments

Find a colleague in your department or company who would be interested in studying the Bible. He/she might be a professing Christian or genuine or just interested. The colleague might have ulterior motives such as to get your favor, or to justify his sins, or to simply entertain him/herself with Bible trivias to impress someone. [...]

You love theology, don’t you? Well, listen to this…

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 22, 2009 | Comments

Does it matter much to you that you be surrounded only by “like-minded” people? Are you someone that is hard to get along with because you have certain standards theology-wise? Are you that person who, when not on common grounds with another Christian theologically-speaking, is quick to jump the gun and say, “…you are not [...]

Morning Devotions: Week 1

Written by Warren | Posted on August 21, 2009 | Comments

This is the 5th day of our morning devotions with our neighbor. And I am so blessed to see that the Word of God seems to hit home in our neighbor’s heart. But I’m still not sure. Regardless, the Word must continually be preached.
We normally commit at least 30 minutes for our morning devotions. [...]

This week will be our fourth week in doing our daily morning devotions with the family. The Lord has equipped us through the past weeks with His Word.
Last Saturday, our neighbors expressed their burdens to us. Currently they are Roman Catholics and are deciding to move to another “religion” because they feel they are [...]

The Bible is the Gospel

Written by Warren | Posted on August 13, 2009 | Comments

This is the third week since we first studied Galatians with my family and I can’t help but notice the myriads of cross-referencing of its theme, which is the gospel, throughout the Bible. I realized, and this is not the first time, that the Bible is filled with gospel messages. The gospel can be discussed [...]

Traditions

“Change produces discomfort.” Indeed.
A Florida church and its current pastor is currently going through “tough times” as some six members are petitioning for his removal because, according to this news report, the pastor is effecting changes on the church which would make them turn their backs on their age-old traditions. The new pastor and those [...]

“Satan hindered us.”

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 7, 2009 | Comments

“Since the first hour in which goodness came into conflict with evil, it has never ceased to be true in spiritual experience, that Satan hinders us. From all points of the compass, all along the line of battle, in the vanguard and in the rear, at the dawn of day and in the midnight hour, [...]
