The Best Testimony
Personal conversion testimony is valid for as long as we have kept the faith. Though God remembers our actions in the past, He is more concerned about how we have kept the faith. That’s the point of Paul’s assertion saying, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the…
How to Be Better in 2026
I saw on YouTube Karen Davila asking, “What should people do to be better in 2026?” (Disclaimer: I didn’t listen to the full interview. So I am just sharing her question and not in any way agreeing or disagreeing with Pastor Peter Tanchi’s answer.) Here’s the link to that interview. The answer to that question…
Slaves to Righteousness (Romans 6:17-18)
Can Christians justify participating in the recently concluded Black Nazarene parade, the present Sinulog parade, or even just the subsequent party without compromising their relationship with Christ Jesus? The Bible, specifically Genesis 6:5-8, describes the natural behavior of humans and its consequences. It states, “The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in…
Just for Fun
Many years ago, while I was still a seminary student doing a practicum in a Muslim community, we were introduced to an Imam, an Islamic leader in the community. He was courteous and welcomed us all, offering us snacks. To avoid offending his faith, we declined to offer a thanksgiving prayer for the food and…
Priceless!
Many people blame God when life becomes difficult, asking questions like, “Why did God allow this to happen?” Is God really uncaring? Did He create a miserable life for us? In the beginning, God created man, provided him with a suitable partner, and placed them in His garden. However, there was a condition: they were…
What about the sparrows?
Remember Elijah. In times of famine, God alone can send sparrows to provide us with sustenance (1Kgs 17:1-6). David, in Psalm 37, declared, “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread. He is ever generous, and his children become a blessing.”…
It Is Done! (Rev 21:6)
Genesis 1:3-2:3 centers on the theme of Covenant Creation, presenting the overall redemptive work of God and Jesus Christ. It illustrates God’s declaration of “it was good” from the first through the fifth days of creation, highlighting the works of God the Father and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit through the Acts of the…
The Wedding Vow
Recently, a friend from afar came to visit us. She inquired about my journey to becoming a pastor. To summarize my experience, I explained that I spent six years in an organized church, where I received a salary. However, for close to twelve years now, I have been serving independently, conducting Bible studies without a…
Day or Night
Verse of the day taken from Bible.com. Our circumstances do not separate us from God; rather, it is the absence of faith and trust in Him. In fact, God remains faithful even when people are faithless (2 Timothy 2:13). The verse highlights a significant point: God will always be faithful. Because He is good, He…
What about Faith?
Christians often find it challenging to understand God’s concept of faith. As mentioned in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This means that faith is not based on what we can immediately perceive or touch. Instead, it relies on a steadfast belief in God’s…
