Divorce in the Philippines – Say NO to It

It’s all over the news, the Philippine Congress is now pushing forward the Divorce Bill right after they have put forward the Reproductive Health Bill.

Self – Flagellation During Easter Effective or Useless?
Every year during Easter season, Filipinos used to celebrate “Semana Santa” or the Holy Week. Most people think that it is a time for reflection and payment of sins. This is why some people hurt themselves thinking that every whip they make on themselves can pay the sins they made in the past year. They [...]
Why Works Is Not Enough To Get You To Heaven
Other people say, you need to be good to go to heaven. In contrast to this, the Bible says “It’s not by works so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:9)”. The teachings of “Grace + Faith + Works = Salvation” is one of the false teachings that has been widely taught.

Why Is There A Resurrection of the Dead
There Is A Resurrection of The Dead
In 1 Corinthians 15:12-58, it seems like some Corinthian Christians were saying that there is no resurrection of the dead body where Paul is presenting the implication of this wrong contention.
In the modern world, some authors and scholars tries to discredit the historical value of the resurrection of the Christ. In contrast to this, there are strong contenders who stood that the resurrection is historic and unquestionable.

Four Errors Of Many Christians In Using Speaking In TonguesFour
The following errors are just my personal observation and to what we have learned from our study.
They Require All Members To Speak In Tongues
Many churches especially in many pentecostal churches, require their member to speak in tongues. In fact, my brother had a brief debate with one pentecostal friend who says that it is a must for every christian to speak in tongues since it is a manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit.
As we have learned, it is the Holy Spirit who gives different gifts to each one “as he determines”. This simply means that acquiring the gift of the Holy Spirit is beyond our control since it is given as a gift and as the Holy Spirit determines.
They Speak In Tongues All Together At The Same Time
We will talk a whole chapter of propriety in worship later. But I believe that this point is obviously in contrast to what we have learned. Based on the things that I personally witnessed and for the things that can be seen on the internet and televisions, it is very important to note that many christians have neglected propriety in worship.
Most often, these people say that there is an uncontrollable power that engulfs their body. Some of them fell asleep and do things which are unnatural. And when they wake up, they claim that they don’t know what just happened.
First, God is a God of order and of peace. As we have learned, the Bible always promote orderliness in worship. This is very true even at the very beginning as he gives instruction to people. Some good examples is when He gave instructions to Noah in building the Ark and in building the Tabernacle.
Secondly, it doesn’t mean that we are filled by the Holy Spirit that we can no longer be aware and control our physical being. Being filled by the Holy Spirit means that the Holy Spirit is at works in our lives which is visible through natural behavior, actions, and words which is in contrast to the uncontrollable, unknown to us and unnatural behavior, actions and words of someone who claims to be filled by the Holy Spirit.
