Tanglaw (audio devotional) from CBN Asia

More than 2,000 years ago, Joseph and Mary had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem, back to their hometown, for the first-ever census ordered by Governor Quirinius. If you like to travel during the holiday season, you can imagine the traffic. Mahirap ding maghanap ng accommodations kung wala kang confirmed reservation.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the s...

Chester dropped to his knees to pray, thanking God for saving him from a potential disaster. Good thing that he was willing to change his plans in obedience to God. He did not insist on his own way but instead trusted the Lord who blessed him. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Paano nga ba magsi-celebrate ng Pasko kung nawalan ka ng mahal sa buhay dahil sa sakit, sa aksidente, o iba pa mang kadahilanan?

It is in this secret place that we rise above the mere-praying level and be in an intimate relationship with the Lord that genuinely changes our lives. There, we pour our hearts, bring our requests, and receive His peace and perspective. Here, we learn to trust Him as a refuge and a fortress, being confident that He is with us in each trial and the storm. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https:/...

Sa mundong ito, hindi madaling makatagpo ng mga taong handang umagapay. Marami ang nanghuhusga at sumasagap lang ng tsismis. But even if we don’t have people around us who are ready to help, there is a great God who loves us too deeply. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Have you met someone na biglaang yumaman o na-promote, pero hindi pa handa sa bagong responsibilidad? Minsan, ang saya ng biglang biyaya — bagong posisyon, mas malaking suweldo, mas maraming opportunities. Pero, hindi lahat ay mentally at spiritually prepared para i-handle ang “big time” changes.

Kaya bago tayo mag add to cart, let’s always check our own hearts.
