_An Empty Heart

A chilly morning greeted me today as I woke up from my sleep. I wasn't able to work again last night, mainly because I determined to get 100% healthy first. I don't want to risk getting sick again while working. Yesterday was a blessed day for me. Spent precious moments in prayer. Also, I received answers to some of those prayers. What sweetness is there in the emptying of the soul before His most holy throne? When stricken with fear, a sense of disgust of self for all mine sin and wickedness? And yet when laid bare before His throne, the ...

_Languishing Before the Throne

It's Tuesday morning right now. Just got up from bed. I wasn't able to write for the past 3 days mainly because of my physical condition. I'm still recovering from sore eyes and dry cough (the same reason why I wasn't able to see Luke and Craig off at the airport last Saturday). Another reason why I haven't written is because I was determined to truly pray again, if I haven't accomplished that I will not write. The Lord granted the yearning of my heart. Last night, the Lord drew me unto Himself. I was crushed and abased before Him, my sins ...

_What Can 21,000 Gospel Tracts Do?

In the span of 10 days, Christ's Glory Church, in partnership with Hope Christian Church, 21,000 Gospel tracts has been spread abroad in Metro Manila, Philippines. What can 21,000 Gospel tracts do? In the hands of men and in the power of men, nothing. Absolutely nothing. A useless endeavor. Pointless. Pathetic. Irrational. Illogical. A waste of money, energy and time. But in the hand of God? An opportunity for 21,000 souls or more to hear the Gospel of the Lord Jesus that saves from sin, death and the wrath of God in the judgment of sinners in an eternity of ...

_Evangelism in a Lost and Dying World

Today marks the first day of a local missions endeavor in partnership with Hope Christian Church. We are indebted to God's grace and the depths of His mercy lavished upon us through our brethren from Australia. What a good and kind God we serve. I will do my best to journal our endeavors for the Gospel in each day. • God has been so good today. Despite a setback in a delay of the delivery of the Gospel tracts, still, by the sheer goodness of God, we were able to hand out around/over 3,000 tracts all over Cubao. We were much despondent when we ...

_To Disappear

Dear Sovereign Lord, In You are endless joys. In You alone is my soul satisfied. In You alone is grace and peace found, nay, the fullness of grace and peace. How excellent is Your name, O God, my God. My soul is ravished by the declarations of Your glory. I am weak and defiled by sin. Often am I overcome by my flesh and the temptations that beset me. Though You have promised a way out in every temptation, in my unbelief I chose not to employ of them. I plead Thy Son, in whom I find my perfect righteousness. He is ...

_New Mercies

My Dearest Master, As I look back to the year gone by I see so much of Your manifold mercies, Your wondrous works. I see the multitude of my doubts, the multitude of my sin and faithlessness, the congregation of mine own iniquities, my pathetic battle against sin and temptation. I remember the myriad days when my heart and spirit were ice cold towards You, little desiring of You. And yet though hemmed by a mountain of sin, I behold Thy glory. In the blackness of the skies of my heart, the Star of David shines ever brightly. I remember myself in many ...

_Raising the Banner of Jesus Christ

I am writing this entry two days after the fact. I will try to write out as much as I can as detailed as I can. The started out as normally as it would any other day. 12:30am started on my work hours. Worked on some Twitter projects and read on the SEO training book my boss got me. Talked and fellowshipped too with some friends on Twitter and Facebook. What got me excited about this day though is what was to come in the afternoon. At the start of the week I decided that I would go witnessing in every day ...

_Ordinary Day; Undeserved Fellowship

1:00am New work day started. Worked on the business site of my boss again. Made some graphics for our clients. Work's been more fun since it doesn't involve all the coding and editing and theming like it had 2 weeks before we launched. Boss got me an SEO ebook too to study on. Excited to learn more about it, also since I'll be able to use it for my own personal sites, this one and NewDemonstration.com Though my Birthday is already officially over, I just realize that it's just starting on the other side of the world. Since I have contact and friends ...

_Birthday; Nothing but a Feeble Saint

So I had quite a long day on the 13th, just a couple of hours before the time of events that I will write about in this entry. Had a great privilege to preach the Gospel of free grace with my friend, Kim. Was pretty tired already and a new work day was coming up in 2 to 3 hours, and unbeknowest to me the day got more peculiar than ever. 12:00 midnight 12 midnight came, it's officially the 14th of October. Well, in my side of the world at least. So, I finally turned 23 years of age. I didn't expect much ...

_Raising the Banner of Jesus Christ

1:30am Started work today. Worked on my client's business sites, etc. Went on Facebook and Twitter in between tasks, posted the usual volume of status updates on the Gospel and Reformed/Biblical thought---a tremendous means of grace to partake in. 8 or so hours before the time, asked Kim if he wanted to go to University Belt today to go street witnessing with me. Glad he was enthusiastic to go. 8:30am Got off work and went straight to bed to gather strength for street evangelism in the afternoon. Was glad that we were able to arrange an evangelism outreach today even in short notice. 11:30am Woke up, ...
