A.R.K.- Act Of Random Kindness

"A.R.K- Act of Random Kindness"- "Evan Almighty"

Last Friday, the sky seemed to pour out a lot of water and Davao City was once again flooded. The water in front of our office is knee deep. Hay! It was already past 5pm and I have to pick up one of my Spiritual Sisters for the YR: "Justice League" at PISD. As I was looking at the rain and I kept on telling my self that I have to go for I'll be late, my Boss suddenly became my Ark. He took off his shoes, socks and folded his pants. Then he said, "Dali, sakay ka sa likod ko." He piggybacked me so that i could just cross the other side. Yes, my boss- my Supervisor, the head of my department just asked me to ride his back. weeew....He became my ARK (act of random kindness) that day for me to cross the flood.

Am I being sentimental? Maybe a little. I would just like to give honor to one who deserves. My boss? He was my "sharpener", especially at work. He is also a Christian. Among his trainees, I was the only one who was left. And all I can say, they all missed out the opportunity to be trained by him. If I had a discipler in church, I also had here at work. Yes, he constantly corrects me and even rebukes me.

"7Be patient when you are being corrected! This is how God treats his children. Don't all parents correct their children?" Heb12:7

"11It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always painful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace."Heb12:11

Yes...I can attest to this. From my trainee to my proby days, I am changed. There are a lot of attitudes that really have to be changed, habits need to be pruned and even my character was built in loving one's work.

I'm just very blessed and I think my boss is also blessed. When I asked for permission for my resignation, he gave me his blessing and prayed for me. He is also excited for me on my next work- building a church in Kabacan. He is also excited to visit someday.

Blogging again!

I miss blogging! So after nights of sipping on my coffee and thinking (and also looking at the stack of paper of all my preaching notes) I've decided to blog them. :D Since becoming a pastor 3 years ago, I would prepare for my sermons or preaching every week. It doesn't include the time I would also prepare for my G12 cell group with my core leaders and opencell life groups we conduct. I also have notes for every class I conduct on our Post-encounter, School of Leaders 1 and 2. So yes, if material is the question, no doubt I have plenty of those. Then I also though of what I am passionate about. It was always been this- reading, writing and speaking. It's also a way to keep my leaders updated of all that's happening to the church here in Kabacan; where the Spirit of God is leading us and what are some of the issues that needs to be addressed as it also resonates in the emphasis of each preaching I share. If you happen to read one of my blog posts feel free to co...

Bring them back to Repentance? IMPOSSIBLE

This message in Hebrews 6:4 to 6, can be a warning to 3 people: Those who ‘turned away from God”; Those who have not ‘turned away from God and; Those who know people who “turned from God”.   It stands as a warning to us.  Have we heard God’s voice and trembled? I don’t mean fear that keeps us from coming to God, but the kind of fear that is spoken in Proverbs as “the foundation of wisdom.” We fondly pray that God would speak to us and hear His voice but do we really know what we are praying? It reminded me of the Israelites who were at the foot of Mount Sinai. When they heard God’s thunderous voice, they did not dare come nearer and asked Moses to speak in their behalf (Deuteronomy 5:23-27). To quote Francis Chan, “When you pick up your Bible, you are actually holding something better than a voice coming out of a cloud on the top of a mountain.” So this warning must really create a Holy fear in us that will keep us from turning away from God. It ...

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,...
