Called to Follow Jesus

Neither Protestant Nor Catholic

Here in the Philippines we have all kinds of kids and youth coming to our Bible studies. Some are Catholic, and many are Protestant. More of them are probably nothing in particular,
We do not teach Church, we teach Jesus.
This way we can reach all the folks. That is why we are not a "Church"
 

Hinds Feet and Eagles Wings

The Lord equips some for the High Places where He dwells
He gives hind's feet as well as wings of eagles to those who give Him their heart.
As He guides us through the valleys of despair with sorrow and suffering as our guides. He leads us out to a rich abundant life..

Our Daily Bread: A Deeper Look

There is more to the phrase "our daily bread" than food and God's Word.
The things that one needs daily to follow Lord go much deeper.
There are five fundamental ways to see what we need from the Lord each day.
Let's get into it.

Judging Others

Matthew 7 tells us not to judge folks..But there is a caveat. We are to do something first before we are able to help others with the things we discern in them; by first letting the Holy Spirit judge, then help us..
All will be judged:
The non-believer judged unto damnation
The Believer judged for how we spent our lives..2 Corinthians 5:9-11
 

History & Reliability of the Bible

The documentary evidence of Scripture is amazing. The Bible is very accurate. Every word is "God Breathed"
Listen to this short history of the Bible to learn more about the ancient book that has changed so many lives.
You must know that the Bible contains the actual words God wants you to read and learn. This is a necessary first step in following the Lord, to know His ways.

If My People, But If They Don't

We often use 2 Chronicles 7:14..The famous "If my people" prayer.
We always take this out of context and do not realize that there is also a curse attached to this prayer.
Who are "His people" that are "called by His name" anyway?

God Touched Me, Brought Me out of Darkness

The story of how God called me out of drug and alcohol addiction; out of New Age Occultism, out of the demonic realms.
It was amazing all that the Lord did when He came after me. A pretty good story, which does not show how spiritual I am.
It  shows that it took an actual, touch of Jesus, in order to save me...because I was so los

God is NOT Religious

We look for God in our religious rituals, sacraments, liturgies, and traditions.
While He may be in those, He is also in us. He doesn't need traditional religion to have  a relationship with us,
Unless we define true religion as   "Communion with the living God" ,                 Henry Scougal,,...the Life of God in the Soul of Man
 

God is in The Small Ways

Though the world is looking for the large things: The most popular ministries, the biggest gatherings, the famous ones. God is often not in those things. God is usually in that "still small voice"
1 Kings 19:11  Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12  and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice

Jesus Said toTake the Land

When God's chosen people came into the Promised Land, they never fulfilled the will of the Lord, by removing the enemies and taking the land.
For 2,000 years the follower of Jesus have also not fulfilled the Lord's plan to take the Land...
"I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail"
