I was finally enabled to travel back to this familiar place and witness against it. The LORD brought no small attention to us as the proclamation of the law did its work. People came out, some sat beside us, some stood across us, some sat on their terraces, workers sat out front. There were motorists who stopped to inquire with my daughter. One man asked if he can have more tracts so he can give it out as well. A few jeered, yet all were severely warned.

The place was not very promising when we arrived. We expected a low turn out even now that there is again a circulating mandate to reinforce tighter protocols. But shortly after we commenced God brought in his audience. The whole place was bustling in no time. I have seen this often happen in places where I would judge it vain to stand as there were scarcely any soul present, but Father has taught me that one soul is too precious to pass over. I need not concern myself with numbers. I simply needed to be faithful in delivering my message, as my God is sure to accomplish His purpose.

Last Tuesday after our evening bible class, I was given the tremendous honor to open another scheduled appointment about the law and man's incapacity to come to God, to four young and very dear souls. I am very much encouraged that God has already stirred the beginnings of conviction in their hearts. Tomorrow Friday will be about the gospel. May it please the LORD to entrust them to my care, and to give me a wise heart necessary for the labor. Currently, we are caring for four souls apart from my family, but should the LORD judge me faithful we will see further increase in souls and in fruit.

These evil days are fast closing. God is making His last call before He redeems His name. Let the terror of the LORD be against His enemies. Let the saints be found fervently laboring at His arrival, or before their departure.

By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us.
Psalm 65:5

Kletos Covenantal Ministries is a small house gathering of Christians inside Brgy. Batia, Bocaue, Bulacan standing solely on the absolute authority, sufficiency, and inerrancy of God's Holy Word by the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are Presbyterian in church polity. We adhere strongly to the Westminster Confession of Faith (Larger and Smaller), the Athanasian and Nicene Creeds, and the Heidelberg Catechism. Our emphasis is on prayer, experimental/experiential preaching, the active proclamation of God's word in public, catechism, and daily intentional Family Worship in the homes.

Who I Am

I am a husband, and a father.

I am a mere recipient of my Father's mercy by the gracious merit of my Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ of God.
An unprofitable servant.

Raised as a Roman Catholic, lived like a demon for 24 years in that religion, became a "Christian" and joined a rich church twice, while living as a hypocrite for 19 more years, 14 of those in adultery. Finally found by Christ out of his own good mercy, convicted of my severe offenses, I realized I was helplessly lost. Regenerated and renewed according to the will of God through Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Granted the gift of repentance and faith. Was saved. Washed in the blood of the Lamb. Passed from death unto life. Justified. Dying daily in sanctification. Soon to be glorified.

I pray in God's mercy that I may endure to the end carrying His name, proclaiming His kingdom, and preaching the good news of Christ's salvation, the good work of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, and the victorious power of the Resurrection unto sanctification which is in Christ Jesus, to all who will believe and behave the gospel.

I do not believe Christ saved me to merely hide inside a church building to be a good member, but He enlisted me to be a warring soldier for His kingdom to come; nor do I believe the Holy Spirit indwells in a believer and lets him live as the same old person prior to being saved. If, despite my service, the most Sovereign Lord assigns me to hell at the end, then I have no merit of my own to present to him for myself, other than that which is found in Christ. Though I deserve His justice, I can only plead His mercy. Regardless, God is still truly worthy of all service, worship, and praise.

I am in no way superior, more good, or better than the person I meet on the street. The only difference is I fully realize that I am a guilty criminal before God and that I rightly deserve to die under his justice, yet by His mercy and grace He forgave me - and so I am eternally grateful for this act of kindness that no good act in my entire life can ever truly repay. The common "churchian" knows this, yet has no evidence for it. I am of no such company.

Out of gratitude, I willingly set out to fulfill the Great Commission of proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus Christ where all the fishes are - out on the street. Faithfully declaring the clear Gospel of repentance unto salvation, which is able to save to the uttermost, the newness of life in Christ, the persecution that comes with such profession, and the terrifying wrath & judgment of God to come upon the sons of disobedience.

If I lift Him up therefore, He will in turn draw His elect to Himself, thus glorifying the Father, who deserves the reverence He demands from all people and creation. May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward for his suffering.

Grace alone.
Faith Alone.
Christ alone.
Scripture alone.
For the glory of God alone.
