BETTER ALONE ✍️

They say that in making decisions, if you are in doubt or unsure, DON'T! Similarly, if you are not eternally minded, don't make major decisions, such as getting married, unless you understand what an ideal marriage is. Choosing to marry someone should not be made solely on the basis of their outward appearance, financial success, or social standing. Whoever you decide to marry will be your lifelong partner, and no one wants to spend their entire life in misery, living life like a "hell on earth. Thus, in selecting your "better-half, keep eternity in mind. Set your standards high above the heavens and beyond what the human eye can see. Now, there are three things in the world that last forever:

1. The Lord God Almighty. The eternally minded person prioritizes pleasing the Lord more than anything or anyone else because they understand that God is the source of everything they have and all that they are.
2. The Word. An eternally minded individual studies the Bible and holds onto it, keeping its promises and applying the Word daily.
3. Human soul. An eternally minded individual brings down the heavens for others, blessing people with kindness and goodwill, especially the oppressed and less fortunate.

Keep in mind that when you tie the knot, you are not only hoping to find a lifetime partner, but you will also soon become parents, so you truly do need to have that heavenly perspective for the sake of your children. And when you and your spouse model diligence toward a spiritual walk with Christ at the heart of your relationship, you will educate your kids to love the Lord as well. Now that's what you call a Christ-centred family built on a marriage that was meant to be, or simply say, "a marriage made in heaven."
 
Don't be hasty in marrying. Be patient, pray fervently to have a godly spouse. Ika nga ni Pastor Bong Saquing...👇🙂

Every Gising is a Blessing ✍

Every Gising is a Blessing ✍ You got up today with a gloomy heart, scowling. You can't afford to grin, and you can't conceal your lousy mood. Your actions and words indicate that you are not grateful for another day. But have you ever considered that at this very moment, somewhere in the world, there are individuals struggling for their last breath? And pleading with God fervently for one more day to live? And that they would love to be in your shoes, to be given the strength to move once more.  Every breath you take and every beat of your heart is a marvelous gift from God, for which you should be thankful. "Buhay ka, not because you should be, but because may Diyos na nagmamahal sayo. He doesn't want you to perish, so He is granting you grace to live another day, and I hope you realize how much you are loved and valued by God." So, don't waste the day being an angry bird carrying ampalaya (este bitterness). The moment you wake up, wear a smile, and have that...

"I-POST ang katotohanan kahit na itatwa ka nila bilang kaibigan o i-block/kanselahin ka nila o kahit pa magalit sila sayo. Nandito tayo upang pakanin ang mga TUPA 🐑 at hindi ang mga kambing🐐 --- A Christian or a believer of Christ is expected to express boldness in sharing biblical truth, even when it’s unpopular or results in rejection.  📌POST THE TRUTH.  As a Christian, you are encouraged to speak or share the biblical truth—whether online or on social media—regardless of how others may respond. It's about standing firm in your convictions and not watering down the message to keep people comfortable or to just please them and tickle their ears. 📖"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? ... If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." — Galatians 1:10 📌EVEN IF THEY UNFRIEND YOU OR BLOCK YOU OR HATE YOU.--It's accepting the social consequences of boldly proclaiming Christian truths—especially on contro...

A Sinner and a Saint✍️

Image
In our Values Education or Christian Living class during my time in a Catholic school in elementary and high school, we discussed saints such as Madre Ignacia Del Espiritu, St. Rose of Lima, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine, Pedro Calungsod, San Lorenzo Ruiz, and many others. They are declared saints based on religious "holiness" criteria. These martyrs fulfilled the requirements set down by the Church to be recognized as such, a process known as canonization, so they were officially granted the title of saint. After converting to Christianity in 2017, I learned I am also considered a saint. A messed up woman like me, far from being pure and countless times giving in to the temptations of anger or impatience, is a saint?! How can that be? "For all have sinned, and fell short of the glory of God."— Romans 3:23 . Let us remember the story of Paul, once known as Saul. He is the most anti-Christian person and murders the followers of Christ. He was a sinner to th...
