There are moments when God gently asks a question that lingers in the heart: Are you willing to obey, even when it costs you something? Scripture reminds us, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2, KJV). God is not searching first for ability or recognition—He is looking for faithfulness. This truth is beautifully illustrated in the life of Pastor Wilfredo “Willy” C. Majaducon, who simply chose to listen when God spoke. While teaching in Bible school, a quiet but unmistakable impression came: “Are you willing to leave your comfort zone?” There was…
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things . . . But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (I Peter 1:18-19) When people hear the word gospel, many immediately think about the New Testament — the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While that is true, the message…

Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. (Psalm 90:14, ESV) Today is Valentine’s Day, a day dedicated to love in many countries around the world.

James Hastings wrote, “According to recognized aero technical tests, the bumblebee cannot fly because of the shape and weight of its body in relation to the total wing area. The bumblebee doesn’t know this, so he goes ahead and flies anyway.” A person who walks by faith and the bumblebee have much in common. Neither should be able to function by rational standards, yet they are somehow able to soar above the facts and naysayers. If the bumblebee listened to the limitations posed on him by those who think they know it all, he would be no more than an…
“Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.” Psalms 119:161 NLT When I read the above verse, I questioned myself, “When was the last time I trembled at the Word of God? We live in scary times, and our world seems to be getting worse by the day. The news is filled with tragedy, hate, and evil. It’s easy to become frightened during times of uncertainty. Still, David confidently proclaims that even though he is harassed, he isn’t afraid, and does not tremble at their threats. David only trembles at the Word of God.…
Galatians 6:2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” I am privileged and blessed to attend a church where there is love and unity. We have people of many different nationalities, but we are a family. We have great leaders, and the Spirit of the Lord is present in our services. Visitors feel welcome and soon become a part of our congregation. I trust that each of you reading this has a…
