Hindi pa katagalan, nagplano ako ng isang aklat na patungkol sa paghihirap ng mga santo ng Dios. Nais kong hikayatin ang mga Kristiano tungkol sa katapatan ng Panginoon sa mga tao niya sa gitna ng kanilang pagsubok. Mula noon, maraming mambabasa ang sumulat sa akin, nagpapatotoo kung paano ang Dios
May alam akong isang tao na namumuhay sa patuloy na takot. Ang napakasamang pakiramdam ay nagumpisa sa kanya sa araw na lumakad siyang papalayo sa Panginoon. Ang taong ito ay dating ligtas and puno ng Espiritu ng Dios. Siya ay nagpatotoo sa kapangyarihan ng awa ng Dios sa buhay niya. At siya ay
"Sinabi ng mga apostoles sa Panginoon, Dagdagan mo ang aming pananampalataya" (Lukas 17:5). Ang mga taong bumubuo ng may katapatan kay Kristo ay nagtatanong ng isang bagay na mahalaga sa kanilang Guro. Nais nilang higit na maunawaan ang kahulugan at gawi o kaparaanan ng pananampalataya. Sinasabi
Sa kanyang sulat sa Iglesya, Si Judas ay nagbigay ng isang matinding babala. Sinulat niya, "Sa mga itinangi o pinaging-banal ng Diyos Ama, at iniingatang para kay Jesu-Cristo, at tinawag...napagwari kong kailangang sumulat ako sa inyo at himukin kayo na masikap ninyong ipaglaban ang
Noong Martes, Sityembre 11, 2001, ang magkakambal na tore gusali ng World Trade Center sa lungsod ng New York ay bumagsak. Limang araw pagkatapos, habang pinaghahandaan ko ang mensaheng ito, dumungaw ako sa bintana ng aking silid aralan dito sa ika 30th palapag ng tinitirahan ko. Malaking ulap ng
Si apostol Pablo ay nagtuturo sa atin, "Kayo nga ang katawan ni Cristo, at bawa't isa'y samasamang mga sangkap niya" (1 Mga Taga Corinto 12:27). Pagkatapos nangusap pa siyang may pinatutungkulan, "Sapagka't ang katawan ay hindi iisang sangkap, kundi marami....Datapuwa't maraming mga sangkap nga
Sa maaga pang mga taon ng simbahan, isang malaking paguusig ang nangyari. Sa kapanahunang yaon, si apostol Juan ay nabilango at dinala sa Roma. Ang tagapangulong Romano sa panahong yaon (maaring si Nero o kaya ay si Diocletian) ang nagpatapon kay Juan sa isla ng Patmos. Ang islang ito ay isang
“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:11-12, NKJV, my emphasis). We have been predestined to a
You’re going to face your own Jordan River. God wants to part those waters for you.
The more someone is with Jesus, the more that person becomes like Christ in purity, justice, holiness and love. In turn, their pure walk produces in them a great boldness for God.
You remember the story of Elijah. On Mount Carmel, he faced 850 false prophets in a life-or-death showdown over whose God would prevail. He simply called on the Lord, and supernatural fire fell from heaven.
I know all about the restraining hand of the Lord. He allows his children to go only so far but no further. In my early days of ministry, he restrained me when I was ready to quit during times of awful discouragement. At times, I felt overwhelmed by all the financial responsibilities. I felt like a failure as a husband and father as well. I would get so low about my overwhelming obligations that I thought my faith would shatter completely.
From Adam to this present day, God has been searching for a people who will entrust their lives totally to him. He desires a body of faithful believers who give him their complete trust and confidence and commit themselves wholly to his keeping.
It is clear the Lord loves his church and desires to bless it. So why does Revelation 2 present such a fearsome picture of Christ as he appears to his people?
After Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, his listeners sat in awe. Scripture says, “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:28-29, NKJV). The Greek word for authority in this verse means “with mastery, power, liberty; as one in control.” Jesus’ listeners were saying, in essence, “This man knows what he’s talking about.”
His answer to your prayer is coming. Our ministry receives letters from many Christians who have somehow lost heart. These are followers of Christ who have truly been saved. They’ve tasted the mercy and goodness of the Lord and experienced joy, peace, hope and gladness of heart. Then something
