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.

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?

7 Things We Need to Do to be Different from the Crowd

Jun P. Espina May 7, 2017February 12, 2020

There's a principle that you can only achieve differently if you'll start to do things differently. Thus, evaluate your strategies, for example, in your business the past twelve months and the goals you did touch through them. Or, with regard to your dealings with your superiors if you're an employee: how far have you established good relationship in your work place? How's your leadership in your own family?

husband love kept forever because of her

Husband’s Love Kept Forever Because of Her

Jun P. Espina April 15, 2017February 12, 2020

How to keep your husband's love? Or, where shall we get the wisest counsel on how to make your man continue to love you? Of course, the light always comes from the Holy Bible. Martin Luther (where the Lutheran church got its name), for example, has this piece of advice: "Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave." To keep your husband's love is not difficult at all if you are the typical Bible-described wife. God said that the woman must obey her husband.

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...

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!
