There are probably thousands of churches whose pastors are the “Superman” of their respective churches. Partners In Ministry: Laity and Pastors Working Together teaches us the “HOW” of Laity and Pastors can work together for the Kingdom of God. And I believe this is one of the most essential things that each one of us has to learn concerning our church and how it works. . . . → Read More: Partners In Ministry: Laity and Pastors Working Together by James L.

I had a great privilege of visiting Mt. Carmel in Kinuskusan, Bansalan Davao del Sur. It is owned by the Southern Baptist Convention to which it is popular for having a “Rural Life Training Center”. The training center focuses on training people for rural living. They teach agri-technology which can be very useful for farmers. The place was really cool. It has a Tabernacle, dormitories, and a backyard demo farm. The demo farm has a piggery, fish ponds, goat dairy farm, vegetable farm, and even vermiculture / vermicomposting technology. . . . → Read More: Visiting Mt Carmel at Kinuskusan, Bansalan Davao del Sur

Currently, me and my wife is attending a bi-monthly seminar on “Fireproofing Your Marriage”. So far, we are really enjoying discussing things about marital relationship within the couple’s group of our Church. Each partner in the group is also trying to work on our daily task, “The Love Dare”. Today’s reading is a very useful tool in resolving marital conflicts. I believe each couple should try to take note of this post since this has been a great treasure in most successful marriages. And I do agree to what the author says about marital conflicts and problems. I quote this post from “The Love Dare” book by Kendrick. The post is all about the boundaries in dealing with conflicts. Before I forget, I suggest that you print this post or at least bookmark this page so that you will be able to go back here if in case you will be needing this post in the future. . . . → Read More: How To Resolve Marital Problems

An Escapade In Palompon, Leyte I first heard about the beauty of Palompon, Leyte last May of this year. But I really have no idea of what it looks like once we go to the source of its pride. Until one day, when my discipleship group was talking about a possible outing, one of my disciple suggested to try Palompon. And so it was. It took us a couple of months to plan for team building outing for the Men’s group. However, along the way, our wives won’t allow us to go without them. And so it was. There were also trials in the planning. Some of the original people who joined the planning backed out several weeks just before November 2. But there were still some who pursued the plan since this is their only time to escape from their laborous work. The next holiday will still be months away. Palompon, A Jewel Of Leyte Palompon is a 2nd class municipality located in the North West part of Leyte. Decades ago, it is one of the biggest towns of Leyte. In fact, Ormoc City was just formerly a part of the municapility of Palompon. However, time passed and Ormoc continued its economic and population progress due to its strategic location. Now Palompon remained a municipality, and still a home for the treasures of nature. . . . → Read More: Palompon Escapade

It has been almost a week that I have been a little silent. It all started last week when I attended the 17th Associational Meeting of Leyte Association of Southern Baptist Churches. The meeting has a theme: “Steadfastness For A Better Harvest” taken from the key verse Galatians 6:9. Since Ptr. Joe Ytom was not able to come due to health reason, the meeting was still blessed by equally powerful speaker, Ptr. Joe Fernandez. The meeting’s lectures were about worship leading lead by Cainta Baptist Church worship team and Preaching Lessons taught by yours truly. About 70-80 people attended the meeting and it was indeed a great blessing to each one of us. God’s message centered about the “Bountiful Harvest” in the Lord. Ptr. Joe talked about harvest season. By quoting the incident where Jesus ask water from a Samaritan woman, Ptr. Joe explained that the Samaritan woman have become the harvest, and immediately became a harvester where she went to her relatives and told them about Jesus Christ. . . . → Read More: LASBC 17th Associational Meeting

Fireproof Movie and Materials Review Fireproof Movie was produced by a Christian church, Sherwood Baptist Congregation. They utilized their non-actor/actress flock in producing this hit movie. Certainly, Fireproof is one of the best Christian movies that I have ever seen. Fireproof is not an action pack full trailer movie, but about a marital relationship that is on its way to divorce. And guess what, it was one of the top hit movies of 2008. The story is about a nonbeliever couple Caleba and Catherine. They are already on their way to divorce due to incompatibilities, arguments and all sorts of marital problems. Outside their home, Caleb is getting all advices from Christian believers while Catherine is not. Here we see the big difference between the view of Christians and the view of nonbelievers in marital relationship. There are TONS of things to learn in the movie most especially in our relationship with God and our relationship with our spouse. . . . → Read More: Fireproof Movie Review
