“Good” Memorial Day!

by PH

Good Memorial Day! I said “good” instead of “happy”, since it seemed wrong to call Memorial Day happy. We are remembering those who gave their lives in order for us to enjoy our freedom. The survivors would not consider the day happy because they are reminded of the loss of their loved ones… Good Friday […]

When God Says, “No!”

by PH

Have you thought perhaps the reason why you don’t have a higher position (which you desire) is because God is keeping you from sin? You are familiar with the story of David and Bathsheba. It was a sex scandal that left Bathsheba’s husband dead, David in heaps of trouble, and Bathsheba pregnant. As I was […]

Reserving worship at all times

by LD

Psalm 89:1-I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. One of the ways you can tell you’re growing to love like God love’s us, is when you’re able to oversee people’s flaws, and do what is best for them or […]

When God Smiles at You

by PH

Sometimes God smiles down at you and let you know that He is there. It’s been a while since I had enough margin in my morning to get really into the word of God. But on Monday morning, I was able to. I spent an extra time meditating and reflecting on the word of God. […]

The problem with most of our expectations

by LD

Jeremiah 29:11-13–For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.      One of the biggest frustrations that can really severe a relationship is to have non-communicated expectations.  The idea “that a person should know you enough, […]

God Knows Your Pain of Betrayal

by PH

Betrayal is hard to deal with even for God. Jesus knew it was coming, but He still was very much troubled by it when Judas Iscariot betrayed Him. “After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.”” John 13:21 Understandably, […]

Your Are What You Love

by PH

If your worth as a person depends on how much you love others, what would your worth be? Think of all the things that we do in trying to increase our value. We get educated. We acquire skills. We marry up. We associate with others deem valuable. We do all this because there is an […]

God Kills You Because He Loves You…!

by PH

Let’s be honest. How many time have you been upset with God? How often have you been disappointed? Perhaps you are still angry with Him for not doing for you what you’ve asked or expected? Did you know that your pain might be the very thing God brought on you to do His work in […]

The Word in a practical way of life

by LD

Deuteronomy 6:6-7–And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. It is inevitable, that in […]

How to Increase Your Happiness

by PH

There are some “strange” people at our church. They like cooking! For example, Tim, my brother-in-law who is also in our Community Group has been cooking for every meeting. And I’m not talking about light snacks, but full and heavy meals. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Fejarang are the same way. They have been cooking for […]
