CHURCH MATTERS

What does tomorrow brings?   Who knows my future and what will it be?  Well, Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life (Esperance).  It is not considered as a physical emotion but rather a spiritual grace in a religious context.  Hope is optimism the reverse of pessimism, distinct from positive thinking, which refers to a therapeutic or systematic process used in psychology.  Any hope based entirely around a fantasy or an extremely unlike outcome are false hope like tele-series people watch on television series and Hollywood movies or like the Cinderella fairy tales and superheroes.       Every individual has all the freedom to choose for himself what he or she may wants in life.  Whatever he chooses today determines his future.  But there are lots of things involved in every person when his critical mind is affected before he decides what to think and what to act based on his understanding.  There are not just a single medium in his

An army engaged in war strategically positions their base camp. It is indispensably imperative  for them to find and secure a safe place. Usually, a higher ground suits to be the best pitch.   As true soldiers and bearers of the banner of Christ, our duties are not just to craft an offensive   move in advancing the kingdom of God but to consider a defense structure as well. Knowledge and wisdom are very necessary for this task in order to clearly define our position and our priorities in  defending the tenets of truth of the untainted scriptural doctrines of Christ. Will we send ourselves to  battle without considering the vulnerability of our base camp for the enemy’s attack? We have to be  fully aware of what is happening within and around us, bearing in mind that every day we are  beyond doubt affianced in spiritual warfare. The unity and welfare of our pedestal encampment as well as our  personal spiritual stability are among the truths that each soldier of is compelled to protec

It had been the day when overwhelming joy was undeniably been unveiled. From the eyes of a helpless man who at last grubbed vindication and discloses a attending hand. You can depict that bliss which converged deep from his presence, a strong man in the appearance who tried to avoid to display his tears out from copious amiability. For him, it was an accident when he came to our place that day fair consequent our Sundays divine service. He was coursing more than 50 kilometers and being so dulled as well as hungry., he caught a nap that allowed him not to stop in the town he has believed to find his luck to look a relative he heard before working in that place. Since he was not sure of the chance of finding the person in the town he wanted to encamp, I let him stay in the chapel wherein the day that followed was typhoon "Ondoy". Two year ago, from his poor province he went boarding a ship bound to Manila aspiring for a job. This "no read - no writ

DISCOVERING MEMBERSHIP 1. Introduction 1.A Membership in a temporal local church as part of the visible body of Christ provides certain privileges and carries specific responsibilities. There are many similarities and some differences between membership in a temporal local church and inclusion in the spiritual body of Christ. Inclusion in the spiritual body of Christ is a simple reality, and is based on faith in Jesus Christ which restores a person to a right relationship with God. That kind of faith must give true evidence in a transformed life, characterized primarily by a devoted love for God and a pure love for mankind. Inclusion in the spiritual body of Christ gives a person complete access to God the Father through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit, and can only be truly known by God as the Judge of all mankind's thoughts and intents of the heart. 1.B Membership in a temporal local church is also primarily an extension of faith in Christ, which brings a person

Our Discipleship Class Levels "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?   Run in such a way as to get a prize.  Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.   They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.  Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.   No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."  1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV) RUN that you may obtain! The success in Christian life is a choice to make, a decision to choose, a work out in faith to do. To lay clear steps for beginners to follow is necessary which is a vital accountability we need to comprehend. At Neos Zoe Apostolic Center, we make it sure that we will never leave babies at the door of our church after their births. We understood it well that it

Relihiyon O Relasyon? Ang kahulugan ng relihiyon ayon sa diksyonaryo ay isang kapamaraan ng tao upang mapalapit sa Dios.  Normal na sa tao ang mapaghanap sa Dios sa dahilang mayroong puwang sa puso niya na hindi masasagot at mabigyan ng kasapatan ng ano mang bagay sa mundo.  Ang Dios mismo ang may desenyo nito. Isang desperadong binata na nalululong sa droga na ilang beses ng pumasok labas ng rehabilitation center  ay nakikilala ni Joseph.  Kanya itong pinaliwanagan tungkol sa dakilang pag-ibig ng Dios.  “May pag asa pa kaibigan ang buhay mo, lumapit ka lang at manumbalik sa Dios,” ang wika niya sa kaniya.  Ilang sandali pa lang ay napaluha na ang binata at niyakap ng nakilalang kaibigan, at sinabi, “Mahal ka ng Dios, kaibigan.”  Nagpapatuloy ang kanilang pagsasama sa pag-aaral ng Bibliya.  Di naglaon nagbago ang kaniyang pananaw at nagsimulang magbago ang kaniyang buhay simula ng tanggapin niya ang Panginoon Hesus. Napansin ng mga magulang ang kaniyang pagbabago na si
