Christmas is About Truth and Freedom

Jun P. Espina December 24, 2017February 9, 2020

Christmas is about Christ; but right after His birth, people dethroned Him and removed Him away from His rightful place as Savior of the world. Songs composed during this season were about food, fun, and Christmas lights. Humanity's rejection of Christ is best expressed this time of the year such as people's efforts to reduce Christ's birth to a Christless feast and holiday.

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?

Christ’s Promised Eternal Life Versus Salvation by Works

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

Eternal security is one teaching our Lord affirms firmly in His Word. Teach it, and you will produce real born-again Christians. In John 6:37 Jesus made this truth so clear that “the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” And in John 10:28 He said, “and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. ” Once saved, always saved! But Christ's promised eternal life won't fit into the framework of man-made Theology that was conceived and intended to glorifying man and giving him...

Christian Holy Week Observance Examined Biblically

Jun P. Espina April 14, 2017February 14, 2020

One significant question is that if we are real born-again Christians, do we need to celebrate or observe the Holy Week? In just a mouse click away, we could google dozens of the list of religious holidays (or holydays?) The Jewish religion, Islam, Catholicism, Seventh Day Adventism, among other religious groups observe "holidays requiring absence from work beyond existing Statutory Holidays." What is the meaning of the Christian Holy Week observance among the Catholics and other Christians denominations?

God’s Promised Holy Spirit Unclaimed: Powerless Witnesses of Christ

Jun P. Espina April 10, 2017February 14, 2020

God’s Promised Holy Spirit What is the primary cause of our powerlessness in the pulpit? Most preachers and church workers are so powerless that it is difficult to fill the church auditorium with people without using extra-biblical teachings and strategies. It is one of the subjects discussed thoroughly in my eBook, PENTECOSTALISM, ITS THEOLOGY & […]

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....
