BEYOND BREAD: UNDERSTANDING GOD’S PLAN FOR HUMANITY Choosing Christ and His Salvation: A Moral Decision

July 19, 2023 by Jun P. Espina

But how do we choose Christ and His salvation on our own when the “natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God” (1 Cor. 2:14)? This is hyper-Calvinism, but let us figure it out.

I have been a listener in the church since I retired from my preaching career, and all I noticed was the struggle of most preachers in looking for a biblical sermon idea. They were like being trained in the seminary, where “theology is king.” I had a friend who had memorized his church doctrines like he was going to take the bar exam. But when you asked him something that deviated from his tanked Bible teachings, he would become clueless, like a cabdriver without GPS. That is how most modern preachers have turned out to be these days. They cannot speak for Jesus since their theology has swallowed them.

Abraham’s faith is a powerful example of the superiority of trusting in God over relying on human wisdom alone.

Some Burning Questions About Christ’s Birth We Honor Christ's Birth But Not the Pagan-Inspired Birthdate

December 25, 2022 by Jun P. Espina

I searched the Internet concerning Christ’s birth and found a common pickup line from atheist websites. They said, “Christ’s birth was a fairy tale.”

WHAT IF COVID-19 WOULD HIT AND KILL US THIS YEAR?

October 31, 2022June 22, 2021 by Jun P. Espina

What if COVID-19 would his and kill us this year? The year 2021 is riskier than other years in our lifetime. Big governments tell us that. True or not, we must prepare spiritually for any eventuality. We could be hit anytime since COVID-19 is unseen—it is unpredictable as lightning particularly in countries with poor hospital equipment and resources. Where shall we go should this virus put us to sleep forever? The first question which a sensible old person—taking maintenance drug—should ask while in the hospital bed is, “Can I get out of this place alive?”

biblical-blueprint-keep-family Keep the Family. Of the five books I had written so far, this one, The Biblical Blueprint to Keep the Family, touched me deeply because of the Globalists’ agenda to abolish the family. I love my family, and I would love to see my grandchildren establish their own loving and close families. But the Globalists, the Luciferians, are stubbornly determined to abolish the family, traditional culture, and the Christian religion. The more I researched “saving the family from radical leftism,” the more I got exposed to the evils of famous state leaders, politicians, the United Nations, and other entities or secret societies such as the Illuminati. They are the principal actors in the agenda to abolish the family.

Reexamining the Scriptural Works of the Holy Spirit on Miracles, Speaking in Tongues, and Church Worship of Extreme Pentecostalism

Listen

We Need to Know More

Of extreme Pentecostalism—we need to know more! This book presents one Bible reality: The truth-seekers who are also spiritual-minded always touch the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is written in John, the First Chapter, that Jesus “was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.” Our Lord enlightens every man because He is interested in the salvation of everyone. He loves all. But as an illustration, my Facebook Timeline is populated with Christian FB Groups that post regularly Pentecostal and Charismatic worship services that have gone wrong. Why the Charismatic chaos; why the counterfeit worship?

Christian Teachings Revisited: A Brief Review Highlighting Ageless Christian Experience 32 Christ-Uplifting Chapters for Both the Truth-Seekers and the Skeptics

November 18, 2022November 14, 2019 by Jun P. Espina

This book, Christian Teachings Revisited, covers familiar but crucial and decisive topics such as the salvation of our souls and the future of the saved ones in Christ after the Millennium. I don’t expect those non-religious and atheists around to have a little interest in this paper but I considered them nevertheless in writing this book. Its subtitle reflects this commitment: “32 Christ-Uplifting Chapters for Both the Truth-Seekers and the Skeptics.” The skeptics and atheists are welcome to benefit or attack (as they please!) this material. What is important is that this humble author wrote this work with both the truth-seekers and atheists in his mind and heart. For Christ taught that “the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)

The Christian Doctrine of Finding True Happiness Bible Doctrine Behind the Spirit-Caused Calmness of the Soul

November 17, 2022November 4, 2017 by Jun P. Espina

But since the birth of Christianity, the true followers of our Lord have experienced this Christian doctrine of Spirit-caused calmness of the soul. They wrote songs and hymns hundreds of years ago with the same lyrical subject of joy in the Lord, and churches have used them in their services until now.

Moving Forward in Life With Confidence What Everyone Must Know About How to Move Forward Amid Life's Trials

Have Confidence and Move Forward

THE ONLY PROVEN method to move forward in life with confidence is not the recipe for a college education, a good job, or a bountiful inheritance. Life is God-given; we cannot isolate it from God’s mysterious nature and qualities.

Our love for our family, for example, is priceless. It can neither be bought, copied, nor duplicated. In Steve Jobs’ last words [some said Jobs did not say it!], he mentioned how worthless his wealth and fame were compared to his loved ones.

God is love; He taught us to love with an intense feeling of affection that bears the mark of God’s imprimatur. Why do young kids make us happy? We see the joy in their baby talk and artless entertainment. It is because “God loves the little children.” Why are we indignant with robbers, rapists, and even the bad-mouthing of our leaders and friends? Well, it is on account of God’s hatred of what is sinful and evil.

Cruelty fills us with revulsion. We are made in God’s image, full of our maker’s fingerprints. We can feel His anger. Hence, we can move forward in life with confidence only in the mighty hand of God—only if we believe we are safe in His loving arms. The apostle Paul wrote: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?” (Rom. 8:31)
