Seed of the Woman Who Gave us Truth, Hope & a Future

Jun P. Espina June 1, 2017February 13, 2020

God’s love is the message of true Christianity, and it is beautifully woven into the story of the Seed of the woman. The Holy Bible tells us the big story about this Seed. It begins with our Father God creating all things in heaven and on earth out of nothing. He embellished the boundless expanse of the universe with stars and galaxies. Through His powers, the void and formless earth then saw the shining sun as the clouds dressed the skies. He created life which then brought many things to the earth such as the music of nature during the...

Paradoxical Christian Teaching: Comfort in Affliction

Jun P. Espina June 1, 2017February 14, 2020

The Bible teaches that there is peace for Christ’s followers amidst the storms of life. It is a paradoxical Christian teaching at the surface. The wisdom of this world suggests the idea of a predictable peace right after the tempest. Hence, the cliche: “peace after the storm” or “darkest hour before the dawn.” But what divine teaching is it that there is peace and comfort while one is in the limbo of trials and sufferings?

Heavenly Residents Because of Christ

Jun P. Espina May 26, 2017February 14, 2020

One good news we love to listen again and again is that we will be heavenly residents assuredly in the hereafter because of Jesus Christ. Paul, the Apostle, wrote about it: "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Phil 3:20) It does not matter if one had been living the life of a thief or a murderer for a long time before one followed our Lord. It does matter if one is a stick-in-the-mud sinner because all human beings in heaven since time began were true blue sinners...

Different Views on Politics, Truth—Real Christianity

Jun P. Espina March 5, 2013February 17, 2020

In politics, the followers of Christ are instructed not to be rebels of the duly instituted authority but rather to pray for their leaders. Some leaders of pseudo-Christian groups went to the mountains during the period of Dictator Marcos in the Philippines and became rebels and combatants. Such wasn't <a href="https://bythisverse.com/born-spirit-god/">fundamental Christianity</a>. Here is Christ's teaching: "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Mark 12:17).

Feminist Movement Commanding Support?

Jun P. Espina March 1, 2013February 17, 2020

What is the Feminist Movement and how relevant it is to our understanding of marital and family relationships? Is the assertion of most wives that they are better off without their weak husbands the ideal model to follow?

Magdalene First Saw the Risen Christ

Jun P. Espina November 20, 2012February 26, 2020

It is one evident account in the Scriptures about how God listens or reacts to real faith more than to the cold and wet expertise in theology. Mary Magdalene was nothing compared to Peter and John theologically. But Christ first appeared to her, the ex-harlot and house of seven demons.
