Minibiblecollege

Of all the bible study guides i have seen online, tIm so glad to have chanced upon this site.
I still dont know how this works, if there will be assignments or stuff, i registered.  Ill find out soon and let ya'll know =)

I hope I can stay through the entire study.
I remember saying last year i'd want to have read the bible cover to cover in a year.
Well, Im not disappointed at myself though Im not even halfway.

Ive learned that since Im a beginner, its not a matter of finishing it.
There's just too much message.

What do i mean?
Say, in the story of Abel and Cain in Genesis.

====
Genesis 4:3-5
New King James Version (NKJV)

3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
====

Abel's offering was accepted by the Lord, Cain's were not.
Ive read this a few times before but never really asked why.
But why wasnt Cain's offering not accepted?
Well, there are a bunch of interpretation on google so i have spent some time on stuff like these.
I am happy with this kind of bible reading. 

Going back to the minibiblecollege, check it out.

Pastor Ed: Message in a coffin

This is one good talk that tells me about accepting death.
Sabi ni Pastor, just as you welcome a birth of a child, with it you have to accept that na meron din kamatayan yun.

I was also reminded of Psalm 90:10

 Seventy years are given to us!
      Some even live to eighty.
   But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;
      soon they disappear, and we fly away.

My first taste of religious persecution

Last weekend, i met with close friends.
I have close friends who have a strong catholic faith.

They were surprised to find out i have been a christian since last year.
They were like "What happened to you?!"
They kind of think i was held under a spell or something and that the church will just collect money from me. 
I was more surprised to see their reaction.

It saddens me.
I didnt want to start to debate with them that we are believing in the same God and Jesus Christ.
Oh, it was a terrible feeling :(

Pastor Ed: Its all really in the mind

Another one of Pastor Ed's talk where i couldnt stop smiling/laughing.
I really enjoy his talks.

Though this video some problem, start listening at ~12minutes
LOL at 32:00

Pastor Ed: The Seven Crosses of Mary the Mother of Jesus

When you hear of someone converted from Catholic to born again christian, the first question would be
"Paano na si Mama Mary?"
A common misconception that born again christian doesn't recognize Mama Mary.

Christians acknowlegdes/respects Mama Mary.

Finally, my first Christian church attendance

Yesterday, i attended the CCF service (Pastor Peter's) with Apple and her husband at St Francis Square.
Yup, i know ang layo.
Talagang noong una, ang plano ko was to just meet with Apple and to finally see my inaanak Caleb.
Pero since dun sila nagchuchurch, sinamahan nila ako.
Thank you Apple, though balik pa talaga kayo ng 4:30PM for D-group, nagservice parin kayo ng 10AM para sakin.

It feels so good to sing to your heart. 
And sing it out so loud.
If only i memorize the songs, it would be nice to sing it with eyes closed and just feel it :)
Check out  time 12:30 of this video

Heart of Worship

When the music fades
all is stripped away
and i simply come
longing just to bring
something that's of worth
that will bless your heart

i bring you more than a song
for a song in itself
is not what you have required
you search much deeper within
through the way things appear
you're looking into my heart

chorus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
and it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing i've made it
when it's all about you
it's all about you, Jesus

King of endless worth
no one could express
how much you deserve
though i'm weak and poor
all i have is yours
every single breath

Pastor Ed: Surviving Bereavement

I started seeking for an intimate relationship with the Lord because i know at my stage back then,
I will lose my mind incase any of my loved one will pass away (especially if it were my spouse and my parents)

Knowing God, I am being molded to understand that God is the ever present one.
He will never leave us.  People come and go, but He will be with us as long as we live.

Hillsong: At the Cross

My flavor of the week.
I was singing this with earphones on, napabalikwas si Glenn nung kinanta ko yung bridge. :)
I love to hear Hillsong with earphone, mas OK.
I asked Glenn to get me a good headphone, bibili talaga ako ng CD ng Hillsong pag meron na :)

I know you love me

Pastor Ed: Why Couples Fight

Genesis 3:16  Your desire is for you husband and he shall rule over you.

Nung unang bes ko naintindihan tong bible and read that passage, napa "Ganun?" ako.
But its the truth, the only way perhaps to live a harmonious relationship is to submit to your husbands.
Ayaw parin maniwala?

Colossians 3:18  Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.

Pastor Ed Lapiz: RX for Borrowers

In times of need, we have borrowed money from people.
This clip tells us how to act being a borrower.
I find this clip humourous and harsh and true.

Parents and Children

A talk from Pastor Peter Tan-Chi.

Train Your Children | Christ’s Commission Fellowship

I have been hopping to many many Christian websites and check their video archives to listen to their talks.
Among all those ive watched, my favorite is CCF's Pastor Peter Tan-Chi.  I could listen to him talk for hours.
I am so happy to have found out about CCF.  My friend Apple mentioned this to me.
I am so glad they have many talks in their archives.

Hillsong: I Will Run To You


Lyrics:
Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen

You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand

And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace

Hillsong: Ocean's Will Part

Pastor Ed: How To Really Relax

"Confess your sins.  You dont confess to let the Lord the know your sins, He already knows everything.  You confess for you to aknowledge you have become sinful"

Psalm 32:7-9

New International Version (NIV)

7 You are my hiding place;
   you will protect me from trouble
   and surround me with songs of deliverance.
 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
   I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
   which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
   or they will not come to you.




A clean heart is the best spa
Detoxify your heart from anger.

Why is it whenever we talk to psychological therapist, we feel less burden.
Because we open up and confess to the therapist.

Pastor Ed: When We Worry Too Much

"Give us this day our daily bread"  God wanted us concentrate on the the current. 
Also i watched a clip saying, he wants us to pray everyday and ask for his blessing.  The Lord's prayer didnt say "Give us our bread for the year" because he wants us to communicate with him day by day.


 "Life is not a problem to be solved, it is a gift to be enjoyed" - Pastor Ed
