Woman President Is Not The Answer

Philippine People Power is sometimes referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during the arrival of Ninoy Aquino.

These protests were the culmination of a long resistance by the people against the 20-year running authoritarian regime of then current president Ferdinand Marcos and made news headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world".

The protests, fueled by a resistance and opposition of years of corrupt governance by Marcos, occurred from February 22 to 25 in 1986, when Marcos fled to the United States and conceded to Corazon Aquino as President of the Philippines.

When you look at Philippines today, one may say, people power is not really the answer.

Who wants people power or parliament on the streets when people in authority are righteous.

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Presently, we have a woman president under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and still people groan.

In our Church, women are not permitted to teach or rule over us.

1 timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1 timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

They are not permitted to rule because they will cause us to err. The scriptures has something to say about women, children and babes being the ruler.

Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Isaiah 3:4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

Isaiah 3:5 And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder And the inferior against the honorable.

Will a man ruler stops the groaning? May be not, but, it is better to be under God's preference.

1 Kings 8:25 Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.

2 Chronicles 7:18 then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, 'You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.'

Admittedly, I want a man to rule, hope the woman not offended, it's because my God wants it to be.

The Wedding Ring Explained

I found this blog while browsing the internet and I want to share it with you.

Anyone knows why the wedding ring should be put on the fourth finger?

It is further explained:

Thumb represent parents Second finger represents brothers & sisters Center finger represents own self Fourth finger represents your partner Last finger represents your children

First, join your palms as shown below. The center finger bent and put together back to back.

Second, let the rest of the 4 fingers touch tips by tip.

This is the interesting part, follow the instructions below for all the 5 fingers but only 1 pair can split.



Try to open your thumb, the thumb represents parents, it can be opened because all human being do go through sickness and death. Whoever may be, our parents will leave us one day.

Please close up your thumb. Then open your second finger, this finger represents brothers & sisters, they do have their own family which is the reason that they will leave us too.

Now close up your second fingers. Open up your little finger which represents your children. Sooner or later they will too leave us for they got their own life to live.

Close up your little finger now. Try to open your fourth finger in which we put our wedding ring.

You will be amazed to find that it cannot be opened at all. This is because it represents husband and wife.

The whole life you will be attached to each other.

Honestly, I was not amazed at all. Why?

One of the partner may go through sickness and death too. Whoever may die, one partner will leave the other and the living will possibly find a new partner as a new family someday.

The Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

God's law is also clear. For a reason of fornication (marital unfaithfullness), you can divorce your husband or wife.

Matthew 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

But the truth is, I really can't open the fourth finger and my wife is confident that I can not as of now.

Breaking Out Of Prison - Not The Series

Let's talk about the viewers of the film Prison Break who are also prisoners of sins.

Psalm 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

But because of Jesus we are delivered out from that bondage.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

For having the darkened understanding and for being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance and blindness of our heart, Jesus open our eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that we may receive forgiveness of sins.

Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

From where one wants to escape from his evil life, it must be a complete turn around from his sins and there must be no looking back. Like the wife of Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah.

Genesis 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Meaning, when one wants to escape from smoking cigarettes, it must be an abrupt stoppage from smoking not slowly as advised by allegedly experts on how to stop smoking. When one wants to put an end to an illicit affair, he must stop seeing that woman again. Not seldom, not once in a while, but never again.

1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Having therefore the forgiveness of our previous sins, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

This is what the scriptures say about the returning unclean spirits.

Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

Luke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

Luke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

Tattoo Is A Sin Against God

The practice of tattoos and tattooing has different meaning depending on what culture you belong. In early years the most common reason for getting a tattoo is for decoration purposes only.

In some cultures tattoos were used as an identification of the wearer's status in a group. This is still done today by most tribes in Africa, Australia and the South Seas. In certain cultures you can't get a tattoo just because you want one. You will have to earn it. Boys reaching manhood receive one to mark that special occasion. Different styles are applied when men get married and so on. Mokos, Polynesian and Maori facial tattoos, are just applied on Warriors after they did something brave and heroic for the tribe.

The ancient Romans for example used to tattoo their slaves and criminals to recognize them easier, the same with most of the Jews in World War II.

The tattoo culture we have now in the western hemisphere began with sailors traveling to exotic foreign lands. The different tattoo motives they were carrying showed the different places they were stationed. A dragon, for instance, meant the wearer served on a station in China or Japan.

This is the commandment from God regarding such practice.

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.

This practice of tattoos and tattooing is a sin against God and must not be entertained by Christians. Body piercing which is a modern trend amongst youngsters (and some oldsters) is also included. It involves the inserting of metal objects anywhere in the body which are not necessary.

Who needs a tattoo or identification? We already have finger prints to differentiate one from the rest or better let the Angels of God do the sealing on the forehead.

Revelation 9:2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:

Revelation 9:2 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."

Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton

The much anticipated boxing match between Pacquiao vs Hatton is now in the final stage or is now close to finalizing a deal to meet in a 140-pound (63.5-kilogram) bout on May 2, 2009 9PM ET/6PM PT at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.’

Some details about the 2 fighters:

Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs), who holds a lightweight belt, jumped up two weight divisions to meet De La Hoya, but will drop down one division to challenge Hatton, who defended his title with an 11th-round TKO of Paulie Malignaggi on Nov. 22, also at the MGM.

Ricky Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs), the junior welterweight world champion, would defend his 140-pound title against Pacquiao, the pound-for-pound king who on Dec. 6 dominated Oscar De La Hoya en route to an eighth-round TKO in a welterweight fight at the MGM Grand.

Enough of their details, let's talk biblical matters.

Boxers used the sign of the cross before and after their boxing bout. For what? That no harm shall happen to them during the fight? For Protection against evil ? or Praying, may be, that they should win the fight. Does this mean, they are (Christians) followers of Christ ?

Boxing is one profession that a Christian should not join.

1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Matthew 5:39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Meaning, if you let your opponent strikes your left and right cheek, no Christians can win any boxing bout anywhere.

Boxers thank their god for winning the boxing match, but, Is the God whom we fear and obey also pleased with their victory?

Only Dinner Is Reserved For God

Fat People. If you stare at them, you will feel better about yourself.

Ever heard of the 2 American girls who sued Mc Donald for their being obese? They lost the case for the reason, they failed to show that eating at Mc Donald caused their injuries.

Fast foods are popping up almost in all areas, malls, restaurants, gasoline stations, hospitals, street corners, name it, they are everywhere. One clear reason why obese increased in numbers.

Actually, for an order of a regular meal, the crew will ask you to go super sized or biggie for a very small additional price.

I remember the curse of God to the serpent where he will eat dust all the days of his life. Read my previous article "Devils Menu".

Genesis 3:14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

They are the enemies of the cross of Christ, for their god is their stomach.

Philippians 3:19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

Scientifically speaking, we have to eat more in the morning in preparation for the day activities. We have a saying, eat like a king in the morning and eat like a pauper in the evening. Scientifically true but not biblical.

God is rising up early to teach those who wants to listen.

Jeremiah 32:33 And they have turned to Me the back, and not the face; though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

One of the instructions is not to eat delicacies if you are a man given to gluttony.

Proverbs 23:1 When you sit down to eat with a ruler, Consider carefully what is before you;

Proverbs 23:2 And put a knife to your throat, If you are a man given to appetite.

Proverbs 23:3 Do not desire his delicacies, For they are deceptive food.

For those who listened and received the instruction, God will surely come and dine with them.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.

Specifically it's a dinner in the presence of the Lord. I wonder who's joining us on breakfast and lunch.

So, the next time you get up early and eat deliciously desirable breakfast and lunch like Mc Donald super sized, remember those whose god is their stomach.

After a days work following the teachings from God, the dinner is ready and served at the Lord's supper.

Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

3 Days Of Thanksgiving - The Argument

What?!@#$%^&* yelled my Wife. I was informing her that I am not available for 3 days because of the scheduled thanksgiving.

One of my brother in the Church said, you're not alone brother, we had a quarrel too and a very intense argument before coming in here.

For the information of everybody, we have both a Wife who are unbeliever and are living with us that we can't divorce.

1 Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

1 Corinthians 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

Good news to our unbelieving wife because we love God more than anybody else.

Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

My wife has nothing to worry about. Because I love God, I will obey His commandments.

1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

The day past and evening came, my wife is now furious. Aren't you get tired of listening to your Pastor the whole day? She said, we have an scheduled buyer tripping tomorrow and I need you.

The 2nd day came and the buyer site tour push through without me of course. But where is my brother? He is absent! I wonder what happen.

The day past and evening came, my wife is happy. The buyer made a reservation for the property. I said, see, I told you:

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Either by chance or not what I know is that things work together for our good.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

On the 3rd day, wow, I saw my brother and was happy to see him again. But, I will not discuss here the reason for his being absent. I told him, I know your guardian angel attended yesterday without you. He said, yes he left me for more important desire - to know more of the secrets of God. Please read God Secrets are not known to Angels.

1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

You may ask me a question, Is the 3 days of thanksgiving beneficial, advantageous, profitable, helpful, important, meaningful? Add more and I will answer, yes, yes, yo!

The Gift Of The Knowledge Of The Truth

This is the first step to salvation - faith not on our works.

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Why a gift? Because were dead in sin and previously here are some of us.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

But after receiving the knowledge of the truth, after we are washed (baptized), sanctified and justified, shall we sin willfully? Is it true that once saved always saved?

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

For when sinning willfully, we only received the grace of God in vain.

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

As a man of God, then, we are expected to be perfect unto all good works.

3 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Don't you know that faith without works is dead?

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

James 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Let us work out for our salvation, by doing good works, even when no one can see.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

And we shall reap our rewards when the time of the end comes.

Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Oh wait! The once saved always saved may be true when after receiving the gift of God today then death came after. How lucky is he/she will be.

Lord's Supper Not To Eat And To Drink

Remember the Lord's supper?

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

This is not the literal breaking of bread or the drinking of the grape wine. For when taken literally you are eating your own supper.

1 Corinthians 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

1 Corinthians 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1 Corinthians 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

How can eating and drinking can sins be forgiven? If it is not to eat at the Lord's supper, what is it?

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Apostle Paul is not among the apostles of Jesus present in the Lord's supper. He only became an apostle when Jesus was already in heaven.

Not being present at the Lord's supper, Apostle Paul was made partakers, whereof he was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to him, to fulfill the word of God.

Breaking of the bread and eating it symbolizes the teachings or doctrines of Christ received and followed by the partakers.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Drinking the cup of blood of Jesus symbolizes acceptance of the sufferings and afflictions of Christ.

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

When we come together therefore into a worship, we come not to eat at the Lord's supper, but to hear the gospel of Christ.

All churches except one, highlighted more the rituals of eating and drinking than teaching the gospel.

Clearly, As followers of the teachings of Christ, we have sufferings to endure.

Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Protection Against Evil

The Sign of the Cross by Winkipedia (Latin: Signum Crucis) is a ritual hand motion made by members of most but not all branches of Christianity. It may be accompanied by the trinitarian formula. For Christians the motion symbolizes the Cross on Calvary by tracing the shape of the cross in the air or on one's own body.

The practice of tracing the sign of the cross is most prominent in the Roman Catholic church but is also practiced among the Eastern Orthodox and Episcopalians.

The history of the sign of the cross goes back as far as Tertullian, the early church father who lived between 160 and 220 A.D. Tertullian wrote, "In all our travels and movements, in all our coming in and going out, in putting of our shoes, at the bath, at the table, in lighting our candles, in lying down, in sitting down, whatever employment occupieth us, we mark our foreheads with the sign of the cross."

Huh! What a weird doctrine.

Catholics find support for the sign of the cross primarily in their many years of church tradition and, secondarily in Ezekiel 3:8; 9:4 and Revelation 7:3; 9:4; 13:16; 14:1.

While the passages do speak of a sign on the forehead for protection from God's judgment, there is no reason to believe that any of the verses prescribe the ritualistic sign of the cross.

The sign was soon recognized as a powerful protection against demonic forces, especially through its dramatic effect in exorcism for it causes the demons to tremble in fear.

Note that in the following verses, the presence of God the father or Jesus Christ does not make the demons to fear or disappear.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Also, the presence of Jesus in this verses don't automatically cast demons out until Jesus said unto them to go.

Matthew 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

Matthew 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

What cast out demons is the word of God.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

For us Christians, submitting ourselves to God by obeying His commandments is the only way to let the devils out.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

This mystical aspect of the sign of the cross, as some believers perceived, is completely false and cannot be supported by any verses in the Bible in any way.

If it symbolizes something that is not written, can not be read & therefore not biblical, then, don't do it for your goodness sake.

I Have 2 Eggs

Ever heard of a Preacher asking the faithful to bring 2 eggs?

One may think it's an offering unto their god or may be later collected as a surprised gift to the less fortunate brethren.

I hope that when the Pastor requires the faithful to take out their 2 eggs, it will not confuse the male as to what egg to take out.

The Preacher also asks them to bring umbrella for the ladies & hat for the gentlemen. The bigger the hat or the umbrella, he said, the better.

At the time of gatherings, the gentlemen was advised to hold their 2 eggs in one hand and the hat on the other. The eggs symbolizes money, for the eggs allegedly will turn to gold spiritually not literally.

Likewise, the ladies to hold the eggs on one hand and the inverted umbrella on the other hand. Purposely inverted to catch the grace showered by their god from heaven.

After the prayer, the faithful was requested to altogether jump for 3 times with joy.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

What's intriguing is the fact that they endure it and remain followers of this false preacher no matter what. In fact, the park is full of devotees, rain or shine.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Now, Let's sing the false prophets egg song: I have two eggs the left & the right. Hold them up high so clean & bright. Clad them softly one two three. Clean little eggs are good to see.

Everything Is Meaningless, NonSense

People differ in many ways. They differ in opinion, society status, attitude, clothes to wear, manner of speaking, looks, faith, religion, politics, country, etc. etc.

But who makes us differ from one another?

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

The question is, who gave us all things to differ from one another?

Hebrews 3:4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

We either look up or look down on someone. Whatever, everything is meaningless, nonsense.

Ecclesiastes 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

One generation passes, wind blows, sunrise, sunset, rivers run to the sea, all labour, man not satisfied with what to see, what to hear, searching, all chasing the wind.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

With humility, I may say, I have nothing to boast except to fear God, and to keep his commandments, for this is my whole duty as man.

The Wisdom Of God Was On Him

Then came two women, that dwell in one house, who delivered both a child.

1 Kings 3:24 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

1 Kings 3:25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

1 Kings 3:26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

1 Kings 3:27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

Here they saw King Solomon's judgment proving that the wisdom of God was in him.

It reminds me of this question asked by one of our visitors in the bible exposition.

"I am married to my mother's daughter and we have 7 children. What shall I do so that my sins be forgiven? Will I have to abandon my wife & children to become your member?"

I am expecting the answer from my Pastor to be in the affirmative but it's the other way around. He was advised not to abandon his wife & children for the sake of the eight (8) souls longing for his attentive care & protection.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Some of us may not be like the visitor but our sins might be worst than him but we are washed and sanctified in Jesus name.

Just like one of the criminals who was hung together with Jesus.

Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Promise Of Lusts Of The Flesh

Ever heard of a religion promising the faithful 72 virgins when they die if thy kill in the name of their god?
Are we some kind of a Boar, uncastrated male swine, that will do eternal sexual intercourse in Heaven?

What an illogical doctrines like springs without water and mists driven by a storm.

They turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

If you are a member of any religion, promised of lusts of the flesh, be afraid, get out immediately for they are fake.

Philippines - A Nation of Servants

“A Nation of Servants” is not a degrading remark but a compliment. It means we are a people who like to serve, to work, and to please, not to offend or abuse others.

HK journalist Tsao did not say we are a nation of slaves. He knew it’s he who is the slave of his own work. Without his servant, he won’t survive. In other words, writer Tsao is what I call “Under the Servant”. There are thousands if not millions of “Under the Servants” the world over.

Protesting about how Filipinos are being portrayed by media (desperate housewife, the UK comedy and Mr Tsao) does not change the fact that Filipino nurses, doctors, teachers leave for greener pastures to work as caregivers or domestic helpers abroad.

We can file charges against this one foreign writer, but at the same time we should also learn to curb our national emotional outburst. Let us, particularly our government, honor these servants who, like Pacman and Charice, are making us proud as Filipinos.

Filipinos are destined to become servants of the Lord anyway. Being scattered all over the world, makes it easy for us Christians, to preach the gospel in all the four corners of this earth.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Mention one country where there are no Filipinos, and I bet, there is none. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

Isaiah 43:5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

In fact, Philippines is the only Gentile Christians from the rising sun although Japan is called the Land of the Rising Sun but the prophecy speaks of people praying unto the God of Israel not to Buddha. Never was in the history of Japan or other countries in the Far East that the name of the Lord God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was praised among the Gentiles or the heathen in Japan.

Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

Incense is not the literal smoke incense used by the Japanese or the Chinese. Incense signifies the prayers of the saints.

Revelation 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

One thing is sure, you can not use your wealth in the day of the Lord's wrath.

Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Mr. Chip tsao, sounds like cheap chow, your country may succeed in claiming Spratly Islands, it shall be devoured by fire anyway.

The Spratly Islands are a group of more than 650 reefs, islets, atolls, cays and islands in the South China Sea between the Philippines and Vietnam. They comprise less than five square kilometers of land area, spread over more than 400,000 square kilometers of sea. The Spratlys, as they are called, are part of the three archipelagos of the South China Sea, comprising more than 30,000 islands and reefs and which so complicates geography, governance and economics in that region of Southeast Asia. Such small and remote islands have little economic value in themselves, but are important in establishing international boundaries. There are no native islanders but there are rich fishing grounds and initial surveys indicate the islands may contain significant oil and gas.

About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small numbers of military forces from People's Republic of China, Republic of China, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Brunei has established a fishing zone that overlaps a southern reef but has not made any formal claim.

No One Is Perfect Except Perfecto

As the Filipino saying goes, no one is perfect except that man named Perfecto, is not at all true.

Participation of my readers at this time is highly sought. I will start enumerating some and I thank you for finding time of adding more.

Here are some the bible personalities who are perfect in the eyes of God:

Zacharias & Elisabeth the parents of John the Baptist

Luke 1:5 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Job in the land of Uz

Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

King David

1 Kings 15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Uriah the Hittite is the husband of Bathsheba whom King David sent to die in the battle then take Bathsheba as his wife. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.

2 Samuel 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

Asa the son of king David

1 Kings 15:11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father.

1 Kings 15:14 Although he did not remove the high places, Asa's heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life.

Do you know of anyone?

Don't Believe In God. You Are Not Alone.

It’s the controversial atheist sign in Philadelphia.

Due to their claim of great success in bus ad campaign they published a secular holiday cards which read:

Is belief in God necessary? Just be good for goodness' sake. Sponsored by the greater Philadelphia coalition of reason.

Another one good example of preaching with enticing words of man's wisdom.

1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

I just hope & pray that they may be enlightened for not wanting to hear an evangelist preaching them to repent or they may go to hell.

Mine is not to preach, for I am not a preacher, but to let them know the destiny of the unbelievers.

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

As a watchman, commissioned by God, I am obliged to give this warning to the wicked & to the righteous that commit iniquity.

Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ezekiel 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Ezekiel 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ezekiel 3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
