Rentless Love

Contributed by Patty Groot on Aug 4, 2025

Today’s passage is one of the most vulnerable, heart-wrenching moments in the entire Bible—not from a human being, but from God Himself. It’s raw. It’s emotional. And it’s all about the relentless love of God for His people—even when they run from Him.

I want to begin today by asking a question that might hit close to home for some of us: Have you ever loved someone who didn’t love you back? You gave and gave, and they walked away. You sacrificed, you showed up, you forgave—again and again—but they just… didn’t return it. Maybe it was a child. A ...read more

Ang Muling Pagkabuhay Ni Hesus Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 27, 2024

Siya ay nabuhay! Siya ay buhay! Si Jesus ay muling nabuhay upang hindi mamatay. Ang iba sa Bagong Tipan ay nabuhay, ngunit namatay muli, tulad ni Lazarus. Si Jesus ay binuhay mula sa mga patay at siya ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.

Ang muling pagkabuhay ay ang pinakasentro at esensya ng Kristiyanismo. Ito ay “pangunahing kahalagahan” ng pananampalatayang Kristiyano. Ang kakanyahan na iyon at ang kahalagahan ay nakuhang maganda sa 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 15:3-5. Sapagkat ibinigay ko sa inyo bilang pinakamahalaga sa lahat ang ...read more
