(This week we welcome Jon-Jon Ignacio to our Ponderings page. May his call to consider what love is all about enrich our celebration of love.) Ah, yes. Love is in the air. A few days from now it will be Valentine’s Day once again. The time of the year when retail stores are decked out …
(Once again, we welcome our Music Minister, Ron Orallo, as guest writer for this week’s Ponderings.) We often forget the many things God has done in our lives. We forget the answered prayers, we forget the miracles, we forget who Christ is and what He has done for us. Why is that? For me, after …
I have been rereading Bill Hull’s Choose the Life and once again I am stirred even more toward pursuing a life that “embraces discipleship” and disciple-making. One particular paragraph caught my attention this week. It reminded me of Paul’s exhortation to the church: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5.21). The …

So this time, the Ponderings is in verse. Read, reflect, be blessed.) In the Word I always read it. Always see it repeated. But in …
Religious persecution still happens today. In particular, there are still areas in the world where followers of Christ constantly face hostility (many times in a violent way) because of their faith. I greatly admire the faithful perseverance of those who face such persecution on a daily basis. If you are like me, you probably had …
Two weeks ago I experienced first hand what the GFFC sportsfest was all about. It is a friendly game of volleyball and basketball competition from different Filipino churches in our area. In the past years I’ve attended and watched, but this year was the first year I actually played basketball. With little to no practice …
During a recent National High-School Journalism Conference, Dan Savage, the founder of the popular anti-bullying campaign “It Gets Better,” was tasked to give a speech on anti-bullying. However, in the middle of his speech some 100 high school students quietly walked out. Why? For some reason, the speech moved in the direction of “Christian-bashing” that …
