Kung Pagod ka, Magpahinga!

Para sa mga mahilig magsabi ng "MAGPAHINGA MUNA AKO FROM MINISTRY":

Realized something today:
kung mapagod at mapapagod ka talaga in life, magserve ka man o hindi, the best way to relax and "MAGPAHINGA"..ay hindi yung lumayo at huminto sa pagchurch service at di magpakita sa leaders mo.

Its the opposite of it all.
Our family na akala ng karamihan ay pagsunday lang nagseserve but in reality everyday. We surrendered to God our privacy in all aspects as we obeyed God and opened not just our home but also our lives through the ministry to loving Him and loving people. And yes, its not easy. May mga araw na we would crave also to rest. MAGPAHINGA. Yet we spent time to rest sa davao. We didnt sleep in an amazing hotel. We didn't eat at the most expensive restaurants... Instead we just spent more time with our leaders just talking with them and Listened to our pastors. We didn't go shopping.

Instead, we focused on having each other. I think we just got all the marks of blessedness shared by pastor ruffy on todays 2nd service: we get to eat the fruit of our labors. May contentment and peace sa family. Intact na lahat(not just physically but most esp spiritually and emotionally). And yes mapagod man kami magserve DI KAMI HIHINTO. MAS LALO KAMI LALAPIT KAY LORD AT SA MGA TAO NA BINIGAY NYA AS OUR LEADERS. #asforourfamilywewillservetheLord

Psalm 128:1-6
How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. That is the Lord’s blessing for those who fear him. May the Lord continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace!

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,...
