The Mission

-
Today is the 5th Day of my VBS experience.
Interacting with children was a challenge for me. I was able to tell Bible stories with them about Adam and Eve, Noah and about the GREAT COMMISSION.

It wasn't an easy task to share stories in the Bible, but by God's help, I was able to do it.  I cannot make up stories on my own just to get the attention of these little children.  I cannot exaggerate the stories just to make "pa bida" with my students.  It was not all about me, it was about JESUS.

I never grew up in a Sunday School.  I was never thought to go to church every Sunday. To tell you, my family only go to church togther during special occassion.
I knew Jesus even before, but I never had a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Him.

When Jesus was introduced to me in 2008, I realized I was totally blinded with what Satan can only offer - lies, lies, and LIES.

It's like the children song I used to sing with my students before:
♬♬ I remember what the Lord has done,
 I'm not going back anymore, anymore.  ♬♬

I remember what the Lord has done
- He paid for my sins.
- He saved me, filled me with His love from my empty life
- I let Him enter my heart and my life (january 18 2008)

I'm not going back anymore, anymore
- I won't go back to my old life again. I may look at it, take a glance of the things I've done. But I will no longer dwell on that. 

Since I have Christ in me, my desire is to share HIM with others.
To share it to those who doesn't have personal relationship with the Lord. It can be my family, cousins, friends, office mates.. ANYONE!! EVERYONE!


Jesus wanted His disciples to tell everyone about Him. This is what He commanded them: Go in to all the world and preach the good news to all creation. (Mark 16:15).
What is this Good News?
It is the truth that Jesus died on the cross to save us from sin, was buried, and rose again on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life. (John 3:16)
 
Jesus wants all people to hear this Good News because all of us have sinned. The punishment of sin is eternal death. (Romans 6:23)
We cannot save ourselves from this horrible punishment; only Jesus can do that! Jesus offers eternal life to us for free. But we need to accept His gift before we can own it. The Bible says that whoever has Jesus has eternal life, and whoever does not have Jesus does not eternal life. (1 John 5:12)





Have you accepted Jesus into your life as your only Savior and Lord? Then you have eternal life. If you do, Jesus wants you to share it with others. He wants you to tell your family, your friends, and your neighbors about Him now so they can have eternal life, too. He also wants you to help spread this Good News to other people around the world, because everyone needs JESUS!


If you haven't met Jesus and accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, would like to accept His invitation?

You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer

(Prayer is talking to God)

God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."

Do you still have questions?

GOD BLESS YOU!

Lessons from the Lord’s Prayer

When Jesus taught His disciples the Lord’s Prayer, he was not giving them a prayer to memorize and recite every time they prayed.   He was giving them a model for their own prayers.   As you study the model prayer that Jesus gave, compare it with the prayers you offer to God.   What can you learn from the way Jesus prayed that can help you to be more effective in your own praying? (I am sharing material from my devotional book The Experience Day-by-Day with God by Henry and Richard Blackaby) God bless as you read.... Our Father This is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” -Matthew 6:9            Everyone wants to be loved.   God designed the family to be a source of love and encouragement.   If you have a family that loves you and that is in your corner, you can take on life with confidence.   But what is that is not your experience? What if, to you, family means cr...

Fast Delivery!

    photo at debragrayelliott.blogspot.com HATE LATE? This slogan of an ad must be familiar to you. You might not be patient to wait for something to fill in your stomach. How about in the concept of PRAYING? Do you pray and always wanting to be answered immediately? or you still pray even if there's no answer yet? They say when you pray, God will only respond in 3 ways: YES, NO, and WAIT. HATE LATE when it comes to prayer? God has never been late in answering our prayers. He wants us to WAIT for He will answer in His own terms, in His beautiful and perfect time. What are you thankful for? "I thank God for His perfect delivery in my prayer!" Let me share you my story... C ouple of weeks ago, I was sending resume to different media companies. I am still employed up to this time, but I still dream that one day, I could work in a media company. As you know, I am an English teacher for Korean students. I am capable of teaching but I am not a licensed tea...

IKAW BA SI GALING?

Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. -Matthew 19:17 A person who is a good person is an individual of lofty ideals, noble purposes, strong character, reliable conduct and trustworthy integrity. The only one who truly embodies all of those characteristics is Jesus Christ. We come to understand the word goodness as we it alongside the word righteousness. Someone has said that justice is what God gives to us that we deserve. Goodness goes beyond that and is that which God gives us beyond what we deserve. The great characteristic of goodness as it is found in relationship with righteousness is generosity. It is what a person gets that isn’t deserved. It is what God gives to a person that could never be earned. Goodness in its relationship to righteousness teaches us about generosity. You don’t have to be rich to be generous. But what do you do with what you have? We need to take a good long look at our lives and ask God how our attitudes have been to the ...
