F inally after four months of asking for this from the L ORD it is finally answered. I was enabled to speak about Christ to this new batch of artists who worked on our latest project of which production ended this past week. They opened up the long proposed bible study and asked if we can hold it soonest before we all part ways. I was only too pleased to oblige them. It was important that I first take the matter to the L ORD in prayer; to tell them first to God, before telling them about God. I simply held on in faith that it would be God who would put it in their hearts to ask for it. How happy I was that it was they that indeed asked. An hour before the time, my wife and I took it again to the L ORD in prayer. That he would be pleased to allow us to lift up Christ among the hearers, and that he might be glorified above all else. We asked boldly for his name's sake. I dwelt on the grievousness of sin and its fatal implications to all of humanity, the hopeless predicament of re...

This clip was taken from the sermon I gave to the saints at Batia, Bulacan on August 26th, 2018. My burden for the church is for it to be grounded and rooted in the Word of God and in persevering, consistent and unceasing prayer.

A dear brother and I wished two days ago to publicly proclaim Christ at my fishing hole in Plaza Rueda. The events on the morning of that Tuesday will I reserve for another post, to wait on the Lord for what transpires after a lengthy talk with a lost and angry soul who chased after me with a lot of hard questions when he read the words, "God is good." on our tract. The Lord was pleased to finally free this man from years of bitterness against God and his family after he heard the truth about who he is before a holy God, and what God, through His Son, had done for him. After I invited him for lunch and he shared more details about his present predicament, he went out in joy to tell more of his friends, with an invitation for me to come back and tell them about the Savior. After this particular meal we gave away tracts at the nearby park where scores of families and touring groups were. When we spent our supplies after an hour we went about to look for a security enforcer to...

This is a shot exhortation delivered in Tagalog to the beloved saints on the 12th of August, 2018, at Batia, Bulacan. English Subtitles available.

This is a short essay from the book I am currently writing, entitled The Free Will of the Old Man & The Free Will of the New Creature. " Sin is more than an act, it is the nature and  disposition of a heart totally inclined towards death. Every manifestation of the man in this state, be it either his wickedness, which is the native language of the man's true self; or his goodness, which is nothing more but an extension of his selfishness, is utterly detestable in the sight of a thrice holy God. It is that which no effort of man can ever hope to alter nor would wish to improve.  If it were conceivable for death to exist in and of itself as a separate state from life, still death cannot choose life. And if we are to assume that it can, it will not do so. "The dead praise not the LORD," Psalm cxv : xvii. Just as Satan cannot and will not choose God, so death in itself cannot and will not choose life. That is not to say, death is due to Satan's presence, but...

From my journal entry, July 5, 2018. 4:47A.M. The blood of Christ on the cross was never ordained by God to be optional, but completely salvific; it is not finite, that it dies cheaply with a professing person who lives a life of rebellion, or even slight religion. It is ultimately infinite. It secures every true saint even through death as it victoriously tramples all over the power of the enemy by reason of God's very own promise, that all whose names were written in the Lamb's book of life from before the foundation of the world will believe in his Son, and that they will never perish but enter into everlasting life. In the blood of Christ on the cross, God's word does not return to him a failure, but it has accomplished that which He pleased, and it prospered in the thing for which He sent it. It is to redeem a people unto Himself. Christ will do no such thing as to begin a good work in his saints only to cut them off in the middle because of their imperfections. Th...

I have again been given a great privilege to speak to the church at Batia, Bulacan and expound more clearly on the events going back to when the prophet Isaiah told of a coming time when the blind will see, the deaf will hear, the lame will leap as a hart, and the mute will sing out for joy when the promised Messiah comes (Isaiah 35:5-6) - leading up to the events that transpired when the Lord Jesus came to fulfill these and more, and how it all eventually led to his death. I did what I can according to the grace measured unto me, (I am not a fluent speaker and I do stammer, I don't know how pastors do it), and there are some major points that I was not able to communicate for lack of time, such as the start of the second phase of the investigation after the event with the man with palsy, and why the Lord began speaking in parables after being accused of invoking Beelzebub in his healing, etc. But the main gist is there. There is an exhortation at the third part for continuance...
