    He is, as Torah teaches, “slow to anger.” That’s very different from most of us.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2023 All of Scripture is useful to those whose purpose in life is to attain union with the Blessed Trinity. But there are probably a hundred verses that stand out as critical in the most important pursuit of our existence on earth. Two of these, surely, come from ...read more

    If Christ has already redeemed the world, why evils such as injustice still happen in the world today?

    Just a week before Christmas 2011, My country, Philippines has been devastated by strong typhoon that killed more than 500 people with hundreds still missing.

    Know the attractive qualities of God that will draw you to Him. If you behold any one them, no one needs to force or convince you to admire and praise Him!

    One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

    Most of us refer to ourselves as being “NORMAL.”

    It must be nice in this life when someone can be more than a NORMAL PERSON and become an “EXCEPTIONAL” PERSON. That is, when normal people die the preachers who do the eulogy can pretty much sum up their entire lives in 15 to 30 minutes. When the funeral is finished the family and friends can ...read more
