Have times really changed that much,

since the crucifixion of The Christ?

People still discuss personal opinions,

looking to find meanings within life –

with some reference point, relative to Him.

Are we any different than Cleopas,

when we latch onto Christ’s name,

desiring our prayers to be answered,

hoping never to be spiritually the same?

Are we able to sing new songs and hymns?

How are we occupying the time of our lives?

Are we on the…

“In Your hands is my destiny.” Ps.31:16

Reflection:

Everything is in God’s hands: my earthly life, its length, its circumstances, everything that happens whether good or bad, its trials and events.

Therefore, my life is in good Hands which will protect and guard me with eternal wisdom and love, with lasting faithfulness and mercy. How can I now fear anything?

Prayer:

“My Heavenly Father, You always will what is best for me. Guide me to my own good, according to…

  As I was working on the on-going project to digitize my notes, writings and files over the years, it came to me I had a large collection of materials to do a presentation for AAG members that might be interested on the process of bookmaking as it developed along with the History of the Bible itself as a book. Indeed, much of the early bookmaking and scribal arts was tailored exclusively towards the production of the…

   Here a book that I been reading called" War On The Saints", I just can't seem to put it down  it deal with every          aspect of your life, you talking something that is good for spirit, soul and body. by Jessie Penn Lewis

Next month on the 29th, Jesus will have saved me three years ago.

I don't know how to explain to so many people...my parents and uncles for example. I feel like I'm in some kind of box. The moment He saved me I didn't run to my parents and shout that Jesus gave me eternal life!

I can't really bring up a topic unless someone mentions about it first. That's why I haven't blurted out that Jesus gave me eternal life to my loved ones. That's how I've been like my…

Shocking contrasts.  Ephesians 2.1-7

Shocking.  The stark contrast at the Boston Marathon finish line is nothing less than shocking.  Exhilarated runners had ‘broken the tape,’ enjoying the elation of finishing, and finishing well.  Soon on their heels were deafening blasts that split the sky, and the very souls of men, as evil…

“In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.” Jn.14:2

Reflection:

 I need a miracle. I think I'm getting panic attacks. So much has been kept inside. I have like 18 years of flashbacks that has been bundled up. Things started when I was like 3...I have a few flashbacks from the age of 2 but that's not when the pain started [unless there's something I don't remember/unless I was scared mentally because the neighbor in the yellow dress yelled out her door at us].

I don't know if I've forgiven them. I don't want to hold any grudges...I want…

“I know Him in whom I have believed. 2Tm.1:12

Reflection:

   Why do we fail so often? The underlying reason is that our faith is very weak. It is…

“Do you want to be healed?” Jn.5:6

Reflection:

   Our will is necessary for every hour of grace. But it…

The Bible tells us that the Jews were slaves in Egypt for 407 years and that God heard their cries for deliverance, and sent Moses back to Egypt to tell Pharaoh to "let my people go"!

However, in today’s society we can still be slaves. So today my question is this:

“But by God’s favor I am what I am.” 1Cor.15:10

Reflection:

   These words of St. Paul seem to be filled with pride and presumption but they are…

I read today a Facebook status from my future daughter-in-law, who was telling her friends that she had just completed jury duty.  She commented, “After a week of trials and deliberations, it seems awfully bittersweet that jury duty is over and life as routine shall now resume.  Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise to have other intellectuals brought together in such a way.  How lovely it can be to hold intelligent conversations unrelated to our daily…

Jesus Christ, is essentially a New Testament Sacrament , declarative of His sacrificial death , through the merits of which believers have life and salvation and promise of all spiritual blessings

in Christ.
