"For fear that I might be disqualified." 1cor9:26
I would like to reflect on whether there might be a sin that has befallen all males, not necessarily in an exclusive way, but in a more incessant and more “natural” way because of what Adam (the man) did, as opposed to what Eve (the woman) did.

Do you have time to do everything that you want to do? Do you have time to do everything that God wants you to do?
If you’re like most people, your answer to both these questions is probably “No”. If so, maybe it’s about time that you look at whatever little time you have in your hands from God’s perspective. I developed a short self-study lesson that you can take to help you with this, and entitled it: “IT’S ABOUT TIME“.

Do those individuals whom you pastor or disciple have difficulty finding time for your meetings, worship gatherings, ministry service or even personal prayer time? Do they have problems with time management (coming to appointments on time, procrastination, prioritizing work, etc.)?
If so, you may want them to take this little web-based lesson entitled, “IT’S ABOUT TIME“. If you want to give the presentation yourself, a presentation version can be found in a web-based format here: “IT’S ABOUT TIME (Prezi Version).”

I read the story of Stephen (Acts 6:8 – 8:3), how he spoke with wisdom and power, infuriated the Sanhedrin, who rushed him out of the city and stoned him to death. He died a martyr’s death, and was probably the first recorded Christian martyr. We honor the man for his love for Jesus and his boldness in speaking the truth.

After the 2010 Ligaya Triduum, where I served as the Coordinator-in-charge, I asked for the list of brothers and sisters in Ligaya who helped in one way or the other make the Triduum the success that it evidently was. I was amazed that there were 294 individuals … not counting those who volunteered to serve as lay ministers and lent their crucifixes. Easily, we must have had 320+ brothers, sisters, and their children who made the Triduum possible; that’s equivalent to nearly two Ligaya districts combined!! (See a related post in the Ligaya website entitled “A CAST OF HUNDREDS SERVE IN THE TRIDUUM” for a list of those names.)
