Let the people sing: Why the Church must find its voice again

“God commands His people to sing. For generations, the church has sung. But somewhere along the way, something changed. The music got louder and the people got quieter. We started watching worship instead of participating in it.” That line sits really heavy on me. I think it sits heavy on a lot of us whoContinue reading “Let the people sing: Why the Church must find its voice again”

What Does It Mean To Be Truly Happy?

The Lord is my Shepherd, and I shall not be in want This outbreak understandably shows us that the greatest things in life aren’t the things we used to have and enjoy. Money, drugs, sex, alcohol, pornography, fame, and fortune — anything that we can hold and touch and see is all temporary. We mayContinue reading “What Does It Mean To Be Truly Happy?”

Noisy, Empty Worship

I AM GUILTY OF THIS. But I thank God for helping me see clearly beyond the distractions of this world. So how are we practicing genuine Christian worship through our selection of songs in the church? Are we focused on how the music sounds, its intensity, or how it makes us feel during worship? DoContinue reading “Noisy, Empty Worship”

A New Season: Loving in Grace

We will prepare our hearts for marriage itself, not the wedding fads. We don’t need an extravagant ceremony or reception, it’s not a party after all. All we need is the intimacy and sacredness of God’s ordained matrimony and the reality of life that awaits it. And “ours” will always be pointing towards His Glory.”

The Most Desirable Grace Man Has Ever Had

Man, totally depraved and dead in his trespasses and sins, is incapable of saving himself from the claws of hell, so Christ did something matchless to snatch us out from the grave…

In the Waiting

There is this season in your life wherein you will just be shut down from the world you used to live in. That, in fact, is happening to me right now. Ever since, I am intrigued with the vastness of the word “seasons”. I love to say it, I love to hear it. And whenContinue reading “In the Waiting”

Ikaw ay Dagat

Ikaw ay dagat. Angkin mo ang karikitang umuukit sa aking balintataw   Di matumbasan ang Iyong pinagtagpi-tagping kalaliman   na nais ninomang sisirin, yapusin.   Agos na naising damhin bawat hampas ng alon ay sampal na maligayang tatanggapin   Hingang malalim…   Di na nais pang pumangibabaw masilayan lamang ang misteryosong kababalaghan   pinipilit usisainContinue reading “Ikaw ay Dagat”

Covering For The Obedient

God will always see us through, despite our undesirable position, he will unhesitatingly look at us and offer a rescuing hand.

Goliath?

Goliath, why do you keep coming down? Steel nor metal I do not have Only five of smooth stones from the brook and just a sling in my hands. But lo and behold! listen to this youth, you come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin but I come to youContinue reading “Goliath?”

Be Still

Apparently, this is my life song. God is constantly reminding me to be still, to fully trust  him in the process, to rest and stop striving – – for the battles I am facing and will be facing are God’s not mine. All these giants will fall at my feet. He has won it all.Continue reading “Be Still”

Soapgasm: To a fairer and healthier skin

Psalm 91 New Living Translation (NLT)

1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High     will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2  This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;     he is my God, and I trust him. 3 For he will rescue you from every trap     and protectContinue reading “Psalm 91 New Living Translation (NLT)”

Kung ano ang uso

Kahit saan ako lumingon nakakakita ako ng magaganda. Hindi dahil inggitera ako o mapamuna ha. Pero tsek ko ulit baka inggit nga lang. Nagagandahan lang talaga ako sa mga babaeng mala-Jessy Mendiola o Gabby Garcia kung pumorma. Yung tipong nagiiba-iba ng kulay ng buhok kada buwan; minsan kulot, minsan diretso naman; o kaya naman nakaContinue reading “Kung ano ang uso”

I will fix you

There is a Name above every name… Mark 1:43-45 41 Moved with compassion,[i] Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” 42 Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed. See how willing God is to heal us from our diseases! When we ask with humble and willing hearts, He will be moved with compassion. ThatContinue reading “I will fix you”

Jesus heals

From my recent devlog (devotional blog), I will still be using Mark 1 as a reference here. …………………………………………………………………………………………………. To come out in the open… It is safer to come out from behind the screen of isolation and be seen as who you really are than it is to hide behind the image of what you want peopleContinue reading “Jesus heals”

I’m just like that leper

I have been a woman full of life’s issues, it is like issues more than goodness follow me all the days of my life.

I got so tired of being sick-and-tired. I have beenContinue reading “I’m just like that leper”

I Surrender All

I have been so self-seeking for such a long time. I am good at it, rehearsing it every day until I mastered its art. I covered up with a mask, a concealment that lasts long, a veneer which altered versions of myself. Until I tire out. I ran out of fuel. I kept moving butContinue reading “I Surrender All”

What’s up with the smart-shaming?

What’s up with the smart-shaming? http://www.rappler.com/views/imho/109333-smart-shaming Why is a meaningful conversation suddenly considered offensive? Why are some people slighted when they don’t understand or are unfamiliar with the topic at hand? Why is it that when we encounter atypical opinions or articles that question the status quo, its comments frequently contain comments that the authorContinue reading “What’s up with the smart-shaming?”

The Semicolon;

We must pause for a while to realize where we are right now and where God must be leading us; and then we continue to move forward so we would not get stuck in idle but we will be empowered by His grace to run the race!

People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them. Veronica Roth, Insurgent (Divergent, #2)

Faithful You have been and faithful you will be You pledge yourself to me and it’s why I sing Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips Ever be by Bethel

If somebody keeps on spreading rumors about you, what’s the best thing to do?

Just keep silent. Pray for that being and bless him/ her. Stay happy. After all God is our Greatest Defender.

I asked God “why do you still love me, why after all the things I’ve done you still want my heart?” He answered me “I made you for me. And as long as you let me, I will save you from yourself.” (via worshipgifs)

when we want to belong where we don’t belong.. there’s a place where you can find rest, peace, love, hope and sense of belongingness. – in HIS presence. Come, within the loving arms of the ONE. Come and feel HIS quieting love. #sia #inspired #blackandwhite #blonde #shorthair #bangs #belongingness #identity #Christ #worship #artfair #art

If there there comes a day that we can’t be together..keep me in your heart I’ll stay there forever. 💓 #finn #jake #adventuretime #forever #friendship

We have democracy but that doesn’t give us right to abuse freedom. Freedom without wisdom is STUPIDITY that leads to SLAVERY. Therefore, let us enjoy a righteous democracy! CHGC

In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write? Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (via hqlines) must I relate?

Grace in the Wilderness!

Amazing Grace!

Since my co-teacher asked her two pupils to clean some of the window panes and jalousies, I was lured to clean my little space in the faculty for it was too messy and eye-rritating as well (forgive the new term, lol).
