HOW CAN YOU FEED A LARGE CROWD?

Matthew 14: 14-21 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some…

TRUTH vs. FACT

FACTS are important. That is why we seek more FACTS. Without them, it will be hard to make decisions. The bible talks about Abraham whom God acknowledged as righteous because he believed the TRUTH, in God and His promises. But Abraham did not just believe blindly. He acknowledged the FACTS. God told him that he…

Walking on the Water

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from…

Understanding Money

Money is what we receive in exchange for the value we give. It is also what we accumulate if we know how to save, manage and invest what we earn. Thus, money is a means of exchange and a store of value. It does not have any intrinsic value. It has value only because of…

Plan with FAITH

During the early years of my freelancing, my wife and I did not plan our finances. We had a common account where I deposited my earnings, from which she drew her household expenses. In the same way, from the same pot, I also drew for my needs to cover gasoline, maintenance, business expenses, etc. We…

Curse or Blessing?

When I was young, stories of stragglers would sometimes hug newspaper headlines. To me, they were both amusing and weird. Stragglers are Japanese soldiers who were still hiding in Philippine jungles, when the second world war was already over, thinking that the war was still going on. For them, their surroundings did not change, and…

Do you see God’s purpose for your life?

I want to have God’s purpose in my life, prosper and be successful. But I don’t look like a candidate for that sort of thing. I am a mere call center employee, trying to earn enough for my family. I ride the MRT early in the morning and catch a ride going home. My days…

Birds, Bees, Butterflies, Trees and Flowers

“Therefore, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly…

Zero Sum Game VS Abundance Mentality

Zero Sum Game theory is based on the principle that resources are like a pizza pie with only a limited number of pieces. This is a game theory and obviously it works like a game. For one to win, he must beat the other party. There can be no two winners. If I get a…

VANTAGE POINT

I once heard of an Indian folklore about six blind men who heard of an animal called an elephant but did not know how one looks like. To find out, each of them touched the creature. Each one of them gave a different description. The one who touched its trunk said it is like a…

THE ONE BILLION PESO QUESTION

Instead of wealth which we desire, we were all given the ability to create it. That is how much God trusted us that we will use that ability to serve His purpose. Our choice is not between ability and wealth. One is given while the other is produced by us. One is a tool while…

We can learn a lot from the 3 stages of the Israelite’s journey, God’s chosen people in the Old Testament. It may reveal God’s will for us who follow Jesus and are in the workplace. First, they came to Egypt to be saved from famine but eventually became slaves for 300 years. As slaves, they worked…

WHERE DO WE FIND THE BALANCE IN OUR WORK?

We are tempted to work too hard to succeed and over stress ourselves. Being stressed Is not good for our health. We are also tempted to take it easy which is also not good. Where do we find the balance? I believe the balance cannot be found in the middle of working too little or…

God gave us the ability to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), a valuable gift that accompanies our identity in God. Each one of us has an ability that His other creation don’t have and each person is unique in that ability. After Adam was created, God gave him a garden to work on and commanded him…

Each of us has our own story to tell. But unless God completes it, it will be lacking in life. It might be boring. Or nice, but still the common at best. The life in the story is what can make the next person hearing it find his own life. But it is only God…

Desperation is something no one would wish to fall into. But for some, it is the most important thing that happened in their life. There are many successful people who became what they are because in their desperation they did not lose hope and made one crucial step. Imagine yourself about to drown in the…
