We are living in difficult times. That is why we need a sober mindset. By faith, we will interpret the times according to God's truth. We will fight the good fight of faith together with others.

In times of calamity, Filipinos come together to help each other. Unfortunately, in the church today, many are disengaging and disregarding their brothers and sisters in Christ in times of difficulty. They may have their reasons. But, sadly, these reasons cannot really justify their actions. It's important to understand the true nature of the church and our own place in it so that we can be resili...

The Gospel changes our spiritual status, gives us hope for the future, and transforms us through the Holy Spirit. But believing these truths alone without practicing its implications each day does not help us become resilient. Both faith and faithfulness must come together to characterize our lives. But what does faithfulness mean?

In the midst of various adversities and challenges, some give up on their faith, dropping out and becoming lukewarm. Some, however, continue to be resilient. They remain faithful and devoted as followers of Jesus Christ regardless of the circumstances. What makes the difference?

We need spiritual friends. But where can we find them? Who can be our spiritual friend? Also, can you be a spiritual friend to somebody?

There is a kind of friendship that is far deeper and far more beneficial than ordinary friendship. It's called spiritual friendship. What's the difference?

Developing a grateful attitude involves refocusing our whole being back to God in very practical ways.

Even though we already know what is good, and we can recognize it, some of us still struggle with being grateful. Why? Often the problem involves deep soul issues lingering beneath the surface.

In the midst of many disappointments, both in the outside world and even in our inner world, that is, in ourselves, we tend to forget all our spiritual blessings in Christ. But remembering them brings gratitude in our hearts all the time. For it is by His grace through faith that we are saved. Therefore, to be grateful, we must remember our spiritual blessings in Christ all the time.

We cannot be joyful if we are not grateful. Being grateful requires that we recognize the good. We cannot recognize the good if we don't know what "good" means.

Even though the situation is difficult, we can still do ministry. One type of ministry that is crucial and doable, even how with the pandemic, is the ministry of prayer.

Work is such an important part of our lives. But often we do not integrate our faith with our work. They seem to be separate and unrelated. We need to work with integrity, integrating our faith with our work.

Isolation is not the result of physical separation. It is the result of our misunderstanding about relationships. The essence of relationship is love, not face-to-face contact.

Many people today think that the essence of the Christian faith is all about attending Christian events. Now that we cannot gather, many are now confused and disoriented. How are we to practice our Christian faith? The essence of our faith is not about events but about communication.

The church is not a place. It's not a building. We are the church. And we can be the church wherever we are!

When you're on a journey of doing something worthwhile, there will be challenges. You need to learn how to persevere with the help of God.

When we see wrong things, whether around us or even in our lives, we instinctively want to see changes. But often we want to wait for other people to make those changes. When it comes to rebuilding anything, we must learn how to initiate the change we want to see happen.

To experience the reality and blessings of God's kingdom, we need true and correct knowledge. This knowledge comes to us primarily through the Scriptures. This is the reason why reliance on the Scriptures is crucial in rebuilding our lives.

Our lives have changed because of the pandemic. But God has not. He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever! We can trust Him, and we can rebuild our lives with God's help. Let's learn how we can do that.

To become an overcomer, not just a survivor, you must learn how to trust God for all your needs.

To become more than conquerors, we need to face our future fears with hope.

God doesn't want us to simply accept our present suffering. He wants us to become More Than Conquerors! He wants us to become overcomers, not just survivors.

There are blessings at the end of suffering. But we must not give up on persevering.

This quarantine time is the best time to practice silence and solitude. We now have lots of opportunities to reflect on what God is teaching us during this difficult time. But, sadly, we still struggle with this.

Often we do not pay attention to the way we are responding to suffering. When suffering comes, as it surely does all the time, we are caught off guard. The condition of our souls is revealed. We focus more on ourselves and our feelings rather than on God.
