There’s hope amid being distressed

On September 26, 2009, typhoon “Ondoy” hit Metro Manila and some part of Central and Southern Luzon.
Hopelessness can be seen in the eyes of every Filipino affected by the typhoon as flood and landslides destroyed their homes, businesses, agricultural lands, livelihood, and to some extent, brought death to some of our fellow Filipinos.

Efforts to extend hand to those who were highly affected by the typhoon were initiated by almost everyone who has the capacity and willingness to help. iCare Compassion Ministry Foundation, Inc.  launched “OPLAN PAG-ASA” to help the victims of Typhoon Ondoy. Volunteers from the Jesus Is Lord Church (members, pastors, and executives) and the Bagong Pilipinas, Bagong Pilipino Movement join hands as they all together donated, repacked and distributed relief goods to our countrymen.  Bro Eddie Villanueva joined the group to do this humane and worthy endeavor. He spearheaded the distribution of the relief goods at Cainta, Pasig, Marikina, Obando, Marulas Valenzuela, Dalandanan Valenzuela, Novaliches, and Fairview. He also prayed and gave words of encouragement to the distressed people reminding them not to lose hope but rather entrust everything to God. Other areas that were reached by the iCare were Mandaluyong, San Juan, Cubao, Malabon-Navotas, Taguig-Pateros, Paranaque, Muntinlupa, Las Pinas, Makati, Tatalon, Munoz, and Laguna.

Truly, a new hope was released to our Filipino brethren through this simple act of giving and sharing. In times like this, we can observe the kindness of Filipinos who are willing to extend their hands or even risk their own lives for the benefit of others. If every Filipino will do the same, even though there are no calamities, our beloved nation will surely be united and strong. As the passage say, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

What I Believe In

I believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son and the holy Spirit;

I believe that the Bible is divinely inspired and, therefore, is infallible and entirely trustworthy, and is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who is God revealed in human form, and I believe in His virgin birth, and His sinless life, His miracles and His atoning death;

I believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, in His personal return to consummate God;s kingdom, and in God’s judgement of the world;

I believe that all have sinned and, therefore, are under God’s condemnation and are separated from Him;

I believe that redemption from the penalty and the power of sin is possible only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ;

I believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective for individual sinners, granting them repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and enabling believers to live holy lives and to witness and work of Christ;

I believe in the resurrection of all people, leading to eternal blessing for the believers and eternal punishment for unbelievers; and

I believe that every believer is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, and is responsible for keeping unity of the Spirit by loving one another with a pure heart.

This is what I believe in.

Rev. Joe Wright’s Prayer

Thought you might enjoy this interesting
prayer given in Kansas at
the opening session of their Senate. It seems
prayer still upsets some
people.

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open
the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was

expecting the usual  generalities, but this is what they heard:  

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask
your forgiveness and to seek your direction and  
guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those  
who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we
have done.  

We have rewarded laziness and called it
welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called  it
choice.  

We have neglected to discipline our
children and called it building self esteem..

We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions
and called it ambition.  

We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression.  

You need JESUS!

Jesus desires to have a relationship with you and give you a life full of joy and purpose…

Shocking??? Yes, that’s true…

He can walk into those places of past sin and failure, wipe the slate clean, and give you a new beginning, no questions asked! The Bible says, “He is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) and He is just that!

He can be your best friend! Jesus knows the worst about you, yet He believes the best! He sees you not as you are right now (stained, sinful, dirty) but as His wonderful creation meant to be just like Him.

Jesus holds the future! He is the best person to trust. In His loving hands, you are safe and secure today, tomorrow and for all eternity… Now you can’t beat that! His Word says “For I know the plans I have for you… plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)

If you’d like to begin a personal relationship with Jesus today, please pray this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I invite you into my life. I believe you died for me and that Your blood paid for my sins. I turn now from everything that is wrong and ask forgiveness for my past. Thank you for Your gift of eternal life. By faith, I receive that gift and I acknowledge You as my Lord and Savior. Amen.
