...new testament times... the disciples made history through their house churches... when they fellowship, in their homes, lots of people receive Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.. 3,000 people receive Him in one day... they hold that record until today... the country that broke the record -- China.. and guess who... youth.. ages 15-19 ... hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooh... pambihira... and guess how many people got born again in a day... 22,000 people... hooooooooh!!! that was based from a survey.. [ tama ba?!] shinare lang yun ni ptr anthony kanina during our 1st small group leader's conference.. what he shared was about the basics regarding the church.. [2 or 3 gathered in His name...] i don't know but upon hearing that.. tears just fell from my eyes.. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Lord..! iba talaga magagawa ng mga youth.. if only they will stick to You and get to know Your heart.. hoooH!.... and somehow nahiya ako kay Lord.. pambihira... i'm already 20... and how many peo

-grabbed from ate gil... Around the turn of the 20 th century, a bar of steel was worth about $5. Yet when forged into horseshoes, it was worth $10; When made into needles, it’s value was $350; When used to make small pocketknife blades, it’s worth was $32,000; When made into springs for watches, its value increased to $250, 000. What a pounding the steel bar had to endure to be worth this much! Same with gold, clay, wood, plastic or any material stripped, cut or sometimes those they undergo intense heat just to be a masterpiece gaining a priceless value. But the more it was shaped, hammered, put through fire, beaten, pounded, and polished, the greater its value. And it is through pain that God gets the most out of us, His glory and for the blessing of others. -Streams in the Desert devotional

by Josh Bates Time after time you’ve been left behind like the sun when it’s starting to rain Time after time you’ve been forgotten like a picture that’s faded with age Time after time you ran after me when I was still running away Chorus: You never give up on me No, You never give up on me Though I’m weak you are strong You told me I still belong No, you never, never give up on me Time after time I’ve used your grace as a way to do what I please I’ve taken for granted prayers that you answered never been all I could be You are holding out your hands and now I clearly see Chorus You always erase all my mistakes You lift me up when I'm down Through all the ages, Your love never changes You welcome me just as I am Chorus never give up, never give up on me... *** first heard this song sa facing the giants na movie.. waah! tapos ang tagal kong naghanap ng maddownload.. saw the lyrics from allane's site.. tapos ayun hinanap ko ulit! and voila!! whew! if you want to hear it, it's

by: Casting Crowns Empty hands held high Such small sacrifice If not joined with my life I sing in vain tonight May the words I say And the things I do Make my lifesong sing Bring a smile to You Let my lifesong sing to You Let my lifesong sing to You I want to sign Your name to the end of this day Knowing that my heart was true Let my lifesong sing to You Lord I give my life A living sacrifice To reach a world in need To be Your hands and feet So may the words I say And the things I do Make my lifesong sing Bring a smile to You Hallelujah Hallelujah Let my lifesong sing to You

by: Casting Crowns I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. But once again, I say amen and it's still raining as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you" and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away . Chorus: And I'll praise you in this storm and I will lift my hands for You are who You are no matter where I am and every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry to You and raised me up again my strength is almost gone how can I carry on if I can't find You and as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you" and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away I lift my eyes onto the hills where

it's been like 3 or more weeks... since we passed our manuscript for our final defense... and the submission of the final copy [hard bound] is october 12 [which is next week...] and guess what... our schedule for final defense has been moved.. and moved.. and moved... and moved... the final defense is supposed to be today.. but yesterday, the secretary told my thesismates that the chairman of the panel [our beloved dean] is not available today... so she said, it would be on friday [but IT'S STILL NOT SURE....] and one professor joked at them saying, " octoberian na kayo.." whew.. [ tapos marami pang gagawin dun after the final defense.. =j -sigh- but i'm not worrying on those stuffs...] i don't believe that.. i believe that God's going to do something great.. but i don't know how.. i don't know when.. but one thing's for sure... He's never late... He's always on time.. -sigh- but sometimes.. honestly... i just don't know what to do.

If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us —Mark 9:22 After every time of exaltation, we are brought down with a sudden rush into things as they really are, where it is neither beautiful, poetic, nor thrilling. The height of the mountaintop is measured by the dismal drudgery of the valley, but it is in the valley that we have to live for the glory of God. We see His glory on the mountain, but we never live for His glory there. It is in the place of humiliation that we find our true worth to God— that is where our faithfulness is revealed. Most of us can do things if we are always at some heroic level of intensity, simply because of the natural selfishness of our own hearts. But God wants us to be at the drab everyday level, where we live in the valley according to our personal relationship with Him. Peter thought it would be a wonderful thing for them to remain on the mountain, but Jesus Christ took the disciples down from the mountain and into the valley, where the

was just reminded kanina.. during our devotion sa soul stop.. about bein' part of the body of Christ... na we shouldn't desire for praises of people.. it's hard because it's our nature as humans... we tend to become histrionic at times.. but then, wala naman tayong mapapala if we have hidden agendas in our hearts... diba..? hehe katuwa lang yung naging sharing kanina kase parang whoa... hindi ganun kabigat yung discussion but it's indeed a great reminder...=) we are created imperfectly for us to learn how to depend on others... =) we are created to praise Him alone.. =) [ tamad na mag-type... hehe]

. . . Jesus took . . . them up on a high mountain apart by themselves . . . —Mark 9:2 We have all experienced times of exaltation on the mountain, when we have seen things from God’s perspective and have wanted to stay there. But God will never allow us to stay there. The true test of our spiritual life is in exhibiting the power to descend from the mountain. If we only have the power to go up, something is wrong. It is a wonderful thing to be on the mountain with God, but a person only gets there so that he may later go down and lift up the demon-possessed people in the valley (see Mark 9:14-18 ). We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life— those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life, and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength. Yet our spiritual selfishness always wants repeated moments on the mountain. We feel that we could talk and live like p

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church . . . —Colossians 1:24 We take our own spiritual consecration and try to make it into a call of God, but when we get right with Him He brushes all this aside. Then He gives us a tremendous, riveting pain to fasten our attention on something that we never even dreamed could be His call for us. And for one radiant, flashing moment we see His purpose, and we say, "Here am I! Send me" ( Isaiah 6:8 ). This call has nothing to do with personal sanctification, but with being made broken bread and poured-out wine. Yet God can never make us into wine if we object to the fingers He chooses to use to crush us. We say, "If God would only use His own fingers, and make me broken bread and poured-out wine in a special way, then I wouldn’t object!" But when He uses someone we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we sa
