Trusting God Sincerely & Taking Refuge in Him

Jun P. Espina June 7, 2017February 13, 2020

In Psalm 34:8, we find God continually inviting us to His boundless love and grace. "O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!" Making God your shelter in this life has an added incentive of <b>blessedness</b>. The "Lord is good" if you will just decide to "taste and see" the experience. Sincerely trusting God and taking refuge in Him by faith open the door of Heaven's blessings. This inwardness we venture to call as faith experience only starts to develop after hearing and meditating upon God's blessed promises. "For...

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.

Annoyingly Persistent Prayer is What God Requires

Jun P. Espina May 14, 2017February 12, 2020

Of an annoyingly persistent prayer: Who can do it? David's prayer to God for the recovery of his sick son with Bathsheba is one biblical example of a persistent prayer. The Bible stated that the child "was very sick. David, therefore, inquired of God for the child; and David fasted and went and lay all night on the ground. The elders of his household stood beside him in order to raise him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them." (2 Sam. 12:1b-17) Only the real believers can do such agonizingly persistent prayer!

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...

Positive-mindedness: A Christian Trait and Strength

Jun P. Espina November 16, 2016February 15, 2020

>We need to be positive-minded in life. It is God's will for us. Our natural tendency, however, is to be pessimistic. Only a few people are optimistic naturally. It is one explanation why only 10% become successful.

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.
