God’s Word Proves Faith in Christ Versus Bible Ignorance

Jun P. Espina April 1, 2017February 15, 2020

Liberal theologians are now advancing the false teaching of believing in Christ without necessarily taking the entire Holy Scriptures as God’s Word. You may have heard someone saying "I do believe in your Christ, but I don’t believe in your Bible.” Without a shadow of a doubt, if examined through the revelations of the Scriptures, such a doctrine is misleading and distorted. God's Word proves that real faith in Christ only happens after a hugging conviction of the Bible's truthfulness and dependability. Wrote the apostle Paul that "faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Rom....

Promised Immortality to Christ’s Truly Regenerated Followers

Jun P. Espina March 27, 2017February 15, 2020

Promised immortality to Christ's truly regenerated followers. 1000 years life on earth is a pale comparison with the Christian promised immortality .... A brief life that is devotedly faithful to Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior is better off than a hundred years of a Christless existence. Leonardo da Vinci once said that "a life well-spent is a long life." This thought, profound as it may appear, is still inadequate if used to describe the Christian hope of eternal life in heaven with God. Set side by side with the promised immortality through faith in Christ, a thousand years...

Facing Trials in the Power of Abraham’s Faith

Jun P. Espina March 25, 2017February 15, 2020

We are facing trials every once in a while as part of our unsinkable imperfections in this life. Earth is not the dreamland; suicide, therefore, is abnormal and committed by those experiencing mental illness known as depression. God's parting words for Adam were not a happy anticipation of a life away from paradise. Now, we swallow the pill as children of Adam, the sinner. There are ordeals, tons of them in this domain. Facing trials head-on, like struggling with cancer or kidney disorder, is the only rational option available to each one of us. But we can only resist the...

Grace Plus Faith in Christ Needed to Live Forever

Jun P. Espina October 4, 2016February 15, 2020

God's love continues to overshadow our hearts and beings even if we deliberately ignore or reject Him. Termed as God's common grace or undeserved love and kindness that is not salvific in form, He provides rain or the sunshine to both believers and unbelievers; to the righteous as well as to the unrighteous.

Powers of Darkness Hover Philippine Politics

Jun P. Espina September 20, 2016February 15, 2020

The people and the drug-lord killers seem to have been overshadowed and controlled by one and the same spirit from the biblical point of view. We note that they enjoyed the killings of suspects ostensibly even if they were a "cardboard justice" as they call it--just like killing chickens, to borrow from the self-confessed DDS witness Edgar Matobato.

Brave Faith of the Christian Missionaries

Jun P. Espina August 7, 2016February 17, 2020

The "refrain" portion of this poem conveys precisely the life of the Christian worker in the mission field: "Brave faith I must have---brave I must be to Jesus." I wrote somewhere about the conversion of the Mouk tribe in New Guinea. Brave faith is the only fitting description of what the Christian missionaries did to this people group.
