Dark Night of the Soul
There were times that somewhere within our system there’s a vacuum, an empty space so fickle to be manipulated or may just simply shuts down. What will you do when the times arrive when it seems like you can no longer go in your own way? Sounds like familiar aren’t it. Why in the world is this happening? Can’t control it. When creation express perfection then why such a loss? You can only be amazed when reason starts the talking. When its feels like outdated and unsatisfied, it trickily conclude, “no absolute truth.”
Fame, wealth, health and some others to name down a few were all what the secular called the answers but history simply deny its coming. How many great and famous do we need to recall to present and argue that this are the anecdotes or just simply because for the sake of diplomacy, we say, that by the way we have our own opinion and choice. But the reality behind the door of our inquiry remains unresolved.
We need to find out the formula to solve this all out. Then remembering Jesus of the Bible, who gave us the glimpse and the virtual truth that will lead us the pathway how to satisfy our wanting. He was there! He knows what it feels like. Such paradox you can’t control. Overwhelming! But that moment when he said, “Thy will be done”, such bleeding within the core smack down pride. How can I articulate the language or define it when it sounds unfamiliar? Who sustains him in times of controversy and does anyone cares when it seems like everybody turns there back as if never known the guy?
To say that we’re happy when the truth is that we’re not is like committing suicide such denial poisons our being. In a world were relativity manipulates the mind and were pluralistic systems operating man then expect the worst. Denial of the reality of sin, denial of God’s love is to deny that we exist at all! Too good to be true! A heresy leading to hell!
To sum it up all, the damaged had already been paid even before the crime is yet to be committed! Jesus paid it all. How can God fill in to our inner thoughts when the core of our being is being swallowed by unbelief? So dark enough to recognize such evil! The message it brings us was damnation but those who live in, for and with Christ will experience the fullness in life and the beauty it brings. His unending supply of love was dominant enough to counter the power of resistance and enable us to believe the significance of belongingness in Christ.
Thus remain the legacy of old! Blessed are those whose lives rooted in Jesus Christ for to him given the blessings of God’s eternal kingdom. Though might sometimes wounded in the battle, but this warrior is no loser. He will be confident, full force against the darkness ever the battle could bring. Such top-secret power hidden in Christ will triumphantly overcome the dark night of the soul.
Yes, it may come, could be painful to the fullest, but behind that dark cloud the sun is still shining. There is no darker that could ever exist than to deny someone behind! Oh, how could possibly someone bear such pain it bring.
We will not be able to appreciate what life really is all about without challenges and until the time arrives when we realize the full picture it present then how beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior. Amen!

Gift of Heaven
A gift is something a token given from someone. We don’t labored for it nor anticipate its coming and there are several of ways how we demonstrate it but most likely we virtually understood it in material things.
Emotions of gratitude usually flow by its existence. Generosity is one of the common graces God given to humanity. To debate whether it is true is unnecessary. Natural man basically understands the tenets and the reality of goodwill even before the dispensation of law came into the stream of biblical history. But as depravity corrupt the image of God in the inner man at the moment of the fall, then we begun to formulate our own vocabulary of what morality is all about.
When we share our opinions of something we deserve instantly the veil of greed and selfishness voluntarily unfold its own agenda. Talking of our own shame? The gravity of biblical moral code of grace was so strong enough to take hold ancient truth to the present wherein from time to time been challenge with scorn.
Freedom is one of the most familiar advocacies of our society today but without guidance it would lead us to such chaos. Superficiality on the other hand weakens the immune system of Christendom. Which way would you go? Such conflict can trigger siege beyond doubt. We cannot change the world but Jesus can.
Life is complex but Jesus makes it simple. Religion offer us tons of traditions but Jesus offer us God’s righteousness who where alien from the commonwealth of God and as the mystery revealed instantly we understand what grace is all about. Many ask who is this Jesus who dramatically change the course of time. His advocacy and the radical traits from eternity past He demonstrate during His 3 long years of earthly ministry. The world has its own answers and writes volumes of thesis into books to simply express their ideology and wisdom that either confuse us or encourage us to deny the truth of His existence.
Jesus Christ the Son of God! Co-eternal, co-equal with God and that in the spirit of obedience glorify the Father. Amen! The Gift of Heaven is priceless, immortal that within the scope of His boundless power we can sing out loud the highest note of His unconditional love and He is Jesus of Nazareth who was born, died, buried, risen and coming again.
May the spirit of hope and peace we have in Christ as we unwrapped the Gift of Heaven empower us to serve Him to the fullest which binds us together regardless of our nationality, color, and tongue.
It was because of you He came
To offer Himself despising the shame
You may think He does not care
But the moment you read this,
You will surely shed a tear
How long will you let Him wait?
Won’t you allow Him to nourish your faith?
Was it a sin to say I do?
When all of this I did for you _AAG

Venue (Basketball,Volleyball): Rotary Club of Tagum City
Terror
Want to think of some ways to frozen the fire burning? History did, and then we have the olympics and the long dream to secure peace and eliminate terror by the birth of the United Nation. Greed for power, Humanism, Moral Bankruptcy are just some of the major factors that would produce conflict and poisons our code of morality because one of its advocacy was to eliminate God in history.
Satanic game plan and union these days are now visible. Tolerance? Someone has said, " Who Cares." Do we need to panic when the truth tells us that Satan was such a great Loser? He is not like God who has all the sovereign capacity to rule and dictate. Satan knows the limitations He possesses. The book of Saint John in Revelation expose the dilemma and what He is going to do is to create a one-world government, one-world religion, and one-world currency with a dream to make change in a society that discredit the supremacy of God.
Daniel 11 give us the historic event of the super powers that dominates the world today and one of its top list of terror was the chosen nation of God (Blessed are those eyes the mystery revealed). The signs of who are the anti-God super powers today do not need any further introduction and explanation. It simply reveals itself. There is but one super power in the universe and He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The great I Am!
As we come to remember September 11, God said in the gospels that these are just the signs of His coming. The terror has just begun. Only those who had been carried in the arms of the Almighty can find refuge and divine rest and that can only be possible In Christ Alone (the only Way, Truth and the Life no man cometh unto the Father except through Him) John 14:6.
Amazing Grace!
My Lord and My God
Spread this great tiding!
Amen!

THEOLOGY: REVISITED
How do God reveal himself? It is very important to know that there is no other God greater than the gods of history. That God is the God of Abraham ( the father of modern Israel), Isaac and Jacob written down in the Bible.
He said He is the GREAT I AM. Indeed! Such power and supremacy running down within the fabric of God's immortal veins.
But again, how can we know Him more when it seems like impossible to grasp His eternal system?
And then He created all things including man to demonstrate His glory where righteousness dominate among His creation. And man fail, willfully disobey God's governance ( KINGDOM, sovereign rule of God ) and by then came the principle of GRACE to regain the fellowship between God and man by the symbolic bloodshed of an animal for blood signifies life since man is dead because of sin ( willful disobedience ).
And this was true, from the dispensation of conscience, human government and then came the story of ISRAEL ( nation-priest ) where the CHURCH flow within its ( ISRAEL ) stream of history.
God can be known through His dealing with His people ( nation ISRAEL ) and His covenant with them till the end of human history.
God can be known through His dealing with His CHURCH ( In CHRIST ) till the rapture.
God can be known through His servants: the 12 apostles, Paul, martyrs of old and the present because of Christ.
God can be known through constant meditating His WORD with a system of CLASSIC PAULINE DISPENSATION. ( once saved always saved, inerrancy of the Bible, Law of Israel - Grace of the Church ).
And above all, God can be known through His only begotten Son ( Jesus Christ ). His coming reign is fast approaching.
May in every step we will see the light of His Word.
