  📌 A Christmas Appeal From the Heart — Will You Help Us Bless Families This Year? Dear Friend, There are moments in ministry when the Lord gently reminds us that we cannot do this work alone . Moments when the need is great… the resources are limited… and yet the opportunity to bring hope is standing right in front of us, waiting for someone to say “Yes, Lord.” Matthew 7:7 gives us that sacred permission: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Today, with humility and faith, we ask . Not for ourselves. Not for our comfort. Not for our benefit. But for the children, mothers, families, and forgotten souls across the Philippines who are praying for relief—people who are wondering if this Christmas will look like the others filled with want, or if by God’s grace, this year will be different. We want this year to be different. We want to bring joy where sorrow has taken root. We want to deliver food where cupboards a...

  📌 “I Don’t Need God” — A Truth We Cannot Ignore You’ve heard it before— “I don’t need God.” “I don’t believe in God.” “I’m just as good as they are.” “I’m fine.” “Who made you a judge?” …and on and on it goes. It’s nothing new. Humanity has lifted its voice in pride since Eden and built its confidence on the shaky foundation of self-sufficiency. It’s been said that nearly 89% of the world has rejected, ignored, or attempted to build its own “Tower of Babel” to heaven—fashioning their own path, their own truth, their own standard. And when you meet someone who believes they’re qualified for heaven based on what they do— their money, their fame, their charity, their morals, their kindness, their good deeds— what can you say? You can say exactly what the Spirit told John to write to the church of Laodicea: “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, ...

  📌 Should the Church Speak Into Politics? A Truth We Cannot Ignore Should the Church involve itself in politics? Not to persuade voters… Not to push a party line… But to shine light where there is confusion, and to offer truth where there is deception. The goal is not influence. The goal is clarity . For generations, the enemy— anyone or anything opposing truth —has used misinformation, half-truths, propaganda, and outright lies to shape public opinion. These tactics still work today because people rarely hear the full story. But Jesus gave us a better way. 📖 John 8:32 “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The Church must never become a political machine. But neither can we remain silent when truth is distorted, hidden, or manipulated. Sometimes all people need is a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what is really happening so they can make informed, God-honoring decisions. Our calling is to bring clarity, not confusion — light, not shadows. If you’...

  📌 Title: Will Peace Ever Come to the Middle East? A Biblical Answer The question continues to echo across nations, newsrooms, and generations: “Will peace ever come to the Middle East?” Leaders have tried. Presidents have negotiated. Agreements have been written, signed, broken, and rewritten. And while I applaud President Trump’s efforts , as well as the efforts of presidents before him who sincerely sought peace, there is a truth we cannot escape: True and lasting peace will NOT come to the Middle East until God’s appointed events unfold. According to Scripture, particularly the prophecy of Zechariah , Israel will one day face a devastating conflict—one so fierce that one-third of the Jewish population in Israel will perish in an unimaginable battle. Yet in the darkest hour of their national struggle, something miraculous will happen: Israel will cry out to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They will turn their hearts back to Jesus Christ— and He will return and FIGH...

  📌 When God Says “No” — Understanding the Hardest Answer to Prayer At one time or another, everyone who has ever prayed has heard God say a word we never want to hear: “No.” Maybe it was about your health… Maybe it was about your child… Maybe it was about your marriage, your finances, your future, or a desperate need you could not afford to lose. And when His answer is not what your heart hoped for, it’s almost impossible not to ask: “Lord… why?” But hear this— It is not wrong to ask God why. Even Jesus, hanging on the Cross, cried out: “My God, My God, why…?” (Matthew 27:46) Your questions don’t offend God. Your confusion doesn’t threaten His throne. Your tears don’t make you weak— they make you human. What matters is the posture of the heart. Sometimes God’s “No” is really a “Not yet.” Sometimes it’s a “Not this way.” Sometimes it’s a shield protecting you from what you cannot see. And sometimes, mysteriously and painfully, it is Heaven’s way of aligning your life with a greate...
