    What Leaders Are Called To Do

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,188 views

    Leaders are equippers. It requires hard work. It renders our work to become more effective. It rests on teaching the word of God.

    One of the most thought-­‐provoking articles I’ve read lately is “8 Reasons Most Churches Never Break the 200 Attendance Mark.”1 Now the author Carey Nieuwhof is not saying that it is a sin to be a small church. He just analyzed why it stays small. Nieuwhof clarifies that ...read more

    The Focus Of A Successful Church

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 8,761 views

    To really succeed as a church, we must focus on God’s standards. First, we focus on one message. Second, we must focus on one ministry. Finally, we must focus on one mission.

    I read about a guy who saw a building with a signboard “Church on a grill.” He got so curious that entered the building and, lo and behold, it was a steakhouse. He ordered premium steak and, in fairness, it was delicious. But he could not help but ask the waiter why the place is called ...read more

    Passionate love must be our priority, protective and practical, adding love to brotherly affection.

    I read a story about a woman who told a friend that she wanted to get a divorce. She was full of hatred toward her husband. “I just don’t want to get rid of him. I want to get even. Before I divorce him, I want to hurt him as much as he has hurt me.” Her friend suggested an ...read more

    A transformed life should lead to transformed relationships, adding brotherly affection to godliness.

    What comes to your mind when you hear the word “fellowship”? Usually, we think of spending time with fellow believers, sharing a cup of coffee or chatting with them. Those were acts of fellowship. But there are times we just end up socializing with friends. This morning, we will look at ...read more

    Keep in mind that to do what is right to make us distinct is doable, adding godliness to steadfastness.

    Have you ever tried swimming against the current? For those of us who tried, I believe we found it so difficult and we even felt like drowning. I think that’s the same drowning feeling when we talk about living a godly life in an ungodly world. Either we feel like giving in or giving up. Yet, ...read more

    Have you ever expressed your belief in a loving way but to your dismay your friends still accused you of being biased or opinionated? Or, you made a stand about an issue in your company and yet you end up being ridiculed for what you stood for even if your stance was actually right? Or, you tried ...read more

    Ever heard of the marshmallow test? Let’s watch this video.[1] [SHOW VIDEO] When Stanford University conducted this famous test in the 1960s on a group of four-year-old children, it revolutionized the emotional intelligence concept. “The researchers then followed the progress of each ...read more

    To know is to be free, adding knowledge to virtue.

    Would you believe a smoker who warns you about the dangers of smoking? Or, would you believe a drunkard who warns you about the error of drinking alcoholic drinks? Would you say that they really believed what they claimed to believe? What about Christians who sing that God will make a way but ...read more

    To know is to obey.

    “What we don’t know won’t hurt us.” Have we ever heard or said those words? It’s an idiomatic expression used to justify denying or concealing an issue. “If you do not know about a problem or a misdeed, you will not be able to make yourself unhappy by worrying ...read more

    Let us make every effort to add to our faith moral excellence.

    Have we ever said these words? “I know my life doesn’t look like a Christian’s life should look, but I do believe in God.”[1] People who say those words are what Pastor Craig Groeschel called Christian atheists or “people [who] believe in God but live as if he ...read more

    Our pursuit for our spiritual growth calls for cooperation with God, commitment to grow and constancy in the process of growth.

    We live in an instant world. We have instant noodles and instant coffee. Whenever we needed something, we can now have it delivered. We want to have what we want right here right now. That instant mentality is carried over even in our Christian life. We want instant growth. We want instant ...read more

    God gave us everything we need so we can live a godly life when we believed in Christ Jesus.

    A missionary named Herbert Jackson got a car that wouldn’t start without a push. So, for two years, whenever he needed the car, he would ask people to push it so that it would start. During his rounds, he would park it on a hill or leave the engine running. When Jackson retired, he turned ...read more

    The fourth reason of spiritual growth is that we will finish well.

    Usually March is the month of graduations. It reminds me of what someone wrote, “It is important to start right, but it is imperative to end well.” Sadly, many people start well but end poorly. However, I don’t want my life to end that way. I believe most if not all of us would like to finish well. ...read more

    The third purpose of spiritual growth is that it gives us firm footing.

    There are two reasons why we wear shoes. One is function, the other is fashion. Of course, there are shoes with a mix of both. But, every pair of shoes has a number one reason for being. Now, I will show pictures of shoes and you tell me whether it is for function or for fashion. [Show the shoes ...read more

    The second purpose of spiritual growth is that we become focused and not forgetful.

    I remember the first time I had to wear corrective lenses when I was in college. Before that, I have always assumed that my eyesight is normal.
