Real Peace of Mind and Heart: Possible Only in Christ

Jun P. Espina June 3, 2017February 10, 2020

How to have real peace of mind and heart? The Bible teaches two kinds of peace. One is given by the world; the other, by Christ Jesus. “My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you.” The natural man tends to seek after the real peace of this world. His surest formula to have the tranquility of mind and soul is to have a whirl with friends. Or, sometimes he would choose to waste his energy in mountain climbing or travels to attain real peace hopefully.

One Important Life Principle Needed

Jun P. Espina April 11, 2017February 14, 2020

One important life principle to find fulfillment and joy that have caused me a bit of time reflecting on is the so-called law of attraction. Is it true that the only way to get everything is to give everything? The most hospitable place where almost all are given for free (at least on the surface) is the Internet.

happiness christ better experienced than explained

Happiness in Christ is Better Experienced Than Explained

Jun P. Espina March 21, 2017February 15, 2020

Joy or positive emotions that we habitually experience with our inner being defines happiness. Such emotion, therefore, of delight and bliss starts from within us rather than by the stimulus that has caused the sense of satisfaction. You have a joyful experience seeing your grandchild, for example, an emotion that your wife does not share since she disliked her daughter-in-law very much. Caused outwardly at the surface by a particular stimulant, your happiness or unhappiness remains a subjective and personal option. Succinctly, it is you who choose to be happy!

Gay Marriage Strengthens the Institution of Marriage—Doubtful!

Jun P. Espina February 6, 2013February 17, 2020

Gay marriage has sparked tumultuous debates in many parliaments in Europe. Already weaved into the legal fabric in many countries, we believe it is not the right direction God wanted us to follow. But the majority of our political leaders and legislators are keen at pleasing the people. They don't have much interest in what is biblical, anyway. The "gay things" will then become a part of our social norms, not to mention the reinvention of our vocabularies, bio-data forms, the restrooms, etc.

life's cruelty based on human not god's wisdom

Life’s Cruelty is Seen Based on Human Wisdom, Not God’s

Jun P. Espina January 7, 2013January 18, 2020

Life’s Cruelty is Not God’s Asked a certain man one day after learning that his loved one died in an accident: “Why is life so cruel sometimes?” I’ve been reflecting on this thought—the negative surprises of life. Is life’s cruelty a part of God’s plan? “Life is unfair!” is most people’s perception when under extreme […]

Merciful God Versus Human Arrogance and Fearlessness

Jun P. Espina January 4, 2013February 18, 2020

Merciful God versus human arrogance and self-glorification. The atheists don't include faith in their intellectual and emotional menu, for the beauty of reason and science are the ones governing and adorning their mindset. I had a casual acquaintance with atheists, and I know that even cancer or heart attack or any form of death-threat cannot change their anti-God views. But for us at the other side of the road, we need to be fearful to our merciful God.
