Philippine Politics and Religion
Philippine politics is said to be at its critical level in moral degradation. Corruptions and political immorality is extremely rampant from the top most powerful governing body to the lowest. There are even times that school teachers teach students to cheat in an inter-school examination contests. No wonder why corruption has become more and more difficult to solve and why religion entered to politics.

Follow Me
“And He said to them all, ‘If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me—for whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but, whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall sake it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world and lose himself or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He shall come in His own Glory and in His Father’s and of the holy angels’.”
Luke 9:23-26
Come Unto Me
“Come unto Me, all you that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your souls—for My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Come
“Ho, everyone that thirsts: Come to the waters and he that has no money; come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which satisfies not? Hearken diligently unto Me and eat that which is good and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live—and I will make an everlasting Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”
Isaiah 55:1-3
