Sad but True

by PH

I love the young people. Probably for selfish reasons though. When I look at them, I feel vibrant and alive. Maybe that’s why I worked with the youth for so many years. But at the same time, I can’t help but be reminded of how short life really is. In just short brief years, these […]

by PH

While getting my daughter ready for school, this thought came to me: The reason why Jesus came and lived 33 years as a human being is not to show us an example to follow, but to live the perfect life we should’ve lived so that his perfection would be credited to us! I don’t know […]

Leftovers

Ever been served leftovers at a restaurant? Well, how would we know if we were? But if you somehow found out that you were served leftovers at a restaurant, what are the chances of you going back to that restaurant? There’s an interesting passage in the book of Leviticus (Yes, Leviticus!). Lev. 22:22, “Do not […]

A New Perspective on Heaven

by PH

Have you been so enamored by someone you wanted to put that person inside of you? Like your son or daughter, your spouse, or your bf or gf, you love so much that you squeeze that person as close to you as possible? You want to hug them so hard as to become one with […]
