God sees the heart

This is from Acts 9-10.

Cornelius was a man of great faith, but he was not a Jew, he was an Italian Soldier, a centurion. During the time of Simon Peter, God revealed himself to Cornelius asking him to call for Peter and hear what Peter would have to say for him.

On the other side, God also revealed something to Peter. God was making Peter eat an impure meat, according to Jewish traditions, but God told Peter not to call impure all things God has made clean. That was not clear to Peter until such time he was sent of to Cornelius' house. There he preached and testified that Jesus is the Christ and the Lord above all. He introduced Jesus in the life of Cornelius.

Back to the revelation of God to Peter, the meaning of those was that God sees and answers those who call Him. It was a law during those days that Jews must not enter the house of the unbelievers, but what matter most is the law of the Lord our God.

This is a powerful message, that I hope that God will be revealing you something about this story that you really have to think about. God did the same to me. God revealed to me the significance of this story in my life.

God sees the heart more than anything else in our lives. Just call for the Lord with all your heart, have faith and He will answer.

God is so good to turn His back on us!

Amen.

Not against anyone

If something is wrong, concern citizens protest to tell the authorities how they feel and what they want. Protesting is an act of disagreeing, not an act of rebellion.

I just want to make it clear that everything we do is not against certain individuals or institutions, but against the crooked ways and thinking of those who run them. It just happened to be that way, that's why. We really want to make them know that it's not really their swiz paper bills that count, but the lives of those who are directly affected.

I have this high sense of nationalism, and the least I can do for now is inform everyone thru blogging and posting links in pages I have in the cyberworld.

You may not understand this, but someday you will. I just hope that it's not yet too late that day.

Wake up!

Choices

We're living in the world of choices. Even in the little things of our lives, we have to take options that really matter.

Every choice we make changes everything about our future. Our future is the product of our judgments today. What to wear, TV channel network to watch, color of ballpen to use, to go to school or not, mode of transportation, medium of communication, friends and company, someone to love; all of these need our proper judgments, and each has something to do with the outcome of what we'll do.

But the most important choice that we must take is whether to accept the Lord Jesus in our lives and live by His words, or not. It's our choice which god or whom to worship and praise, but for me, I choose to serve the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David and Elijah. The God Father that sent Jesus to save us.

I chose to live in accord to His will. I chose to receive the Holy Spirit and enter His kingdom when the time of the Lord come. When everything is right, I will be with the Lord.

Now what's your choice?

[Joshua 24:15 NIV]
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.

Ilang beses na ba?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakakita ng taong naghuhubad ng damit sabay reklamo kasi ang init na ng panahon?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakakarinig ng isang mamimiling panay ang bagulbol dahil sadyang ang mamahal ng mga bilihin?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakarinig ng magpakapitbahay na nag-aaway dahil sa mga tsismis ng buhay?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakakakita ng mga batang walang makain dahil sa hirap ng buhay?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakakakita ng mga nagpapanggap na tauhan ng Diyos para lang kumita at may maihatid sa mesa ng kanilang pamilya?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakakatikim ng mga pagkaing bulok na at dapat ay nasa basurahan na?

Ilang beses ka na bang nangopya ng mga sagot ng kaklase mo dahil sadyang ikaw ay walang ginawa kundi ang mag-enjoy sa labas?

Ilang beses ka na bang bumoto ng mga pulitikong puro lang naman pangako ang laman ng kalooban?

Ilang beses ka na bang nakakagawa ng mga maling desisyon sa buhay?

Ilang beses na nga ba?

Right intentions

Just have my devo for this day. I was so guilty when God revealed to me the meaning of this line.

[Acts 8:21 NIV] You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

I myself was a product of wrong motives and intentions. I attended several ministries just to sight-see pretty girls, and sometimes just to get free snacks. This is really not good in the eyes of the Lord.

I prayed to Him a heart that will please Him and I know God had forgiven me, because I am not as I was before.

Thank you God for these words. Amen.

Amazing Hyann

It is so amazing that a classmate of mine named Hyann Louvir Damola has updated PAP regarding the issue on coal-fuel plans of a certain canning company here in Gensan City. It's good to hear that many youth like me are starting to be concerned with the on-going environmental calamity we have.

This is a new shot. Keep it up dude!!

Blessing in disguise

I thank God for this ME 157 design that I am beginning to understand the system of a power plant. Knowledge and wisdom fills me that they're the ones telling my hands what to write.

It is amazing. It's super tiring, yet it's a blessing.

I love schooling with God guiding me.

Pure heart

As I was having my devo (Acts 6-7) for today, I was really amazed by the life of Stephen. He had what most faithful Christians long to have --> Pure Heart and Spirit.

As he was being questioned by the high priests and being pushed down by false witnesses, he remained loyal to God, and as he looked up to heaven, he saw God with the Son of Man beside Him. He told them that, and he drove them angry as they decided to stone him. And even on the last seconds of his life, he prayed to God not to hold the sin against those who stoned him.

It is really an inspiring story. He had the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and the blessings of the Lord Almighty. It is indeed true what Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." [Matthew 5:8 NIV]

This is an inspiring promise of the Lord. May this serve as a good example to all of us. Stephen, in heaven as you are, you have left us a good testimony of the goodness and holiness of our God.

Amen.

Are you real?

Losing time is what separates the true fans from the fake ones.

Win or lose, we will support the Azkals.

Go Azkals still. Futbol Pilipinas forever..

Anyway, I just bought my Azkals shirt. Hope an Azkal signs his autograph on it.

AZKALS =))

Love our only home

Just a household protects his home and family, human being must also protect and love our only home, earth.

It is a sad reality that people's greed on comfort slowly destroys our beloved home. How much more are we willing to risk? How much more can we take? Can't we really feel the after effects of these black technologies, or we ourselves are already getting numb and just getting used to it?

Join us, we need you, our home needs you, earth needs you. It is really an irony that too few people are earning so much money from our natural resources and yet many are paying for it.

I beg you people.
