The New Manny Pacquiao is Here

"The old Manny Pacquiao is gone, the new has come" - Manny Pacquiao said during the bible study held at GMA Network Complex. I immediately remembered 2 Corinthians 5:17 where it says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; The old has gone, the new is here!"

"Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God," he said. "That's why you are called a 'Christian.' If you remove Christ, there's only 'ian' and that means 'I am nothing." He added.

Cornerstone is the twenty-first album by Australian praise and worship band Hillsong and is set to release in July of this year. This was announced through their Twitter account earlier this month.

This Hillsong's new live album is based on Ephesians 2:20 "Together, we are His house, built on the foundation of apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus Himself." (NLT).

Bible Emergency Numbers

Who ever created this amazing list of "numbers", thanks to you! I tried to find you online but I could not. :D

These are the quick links for the bible verses above. I used NIV from Bible Gateway.

John 14,  Psalm 27,  Psalm 51,  Matthew 6:19-34,  Psalm 91,  Psalm 139,  Hebrews 11,  Psalm 23,  1 Corinthians 13,  Romans 8:31-39,  Matthew 11:25-30,  Psalm 90,  Romans 8:1-30,  Psalm 121,  Psalm 67,  Joshua 1,  Mark 10,  Romans 12,  Isaiah 55,  Colossians 3:12-17 ,  1 Corinthians 5:15-19,  Psalm 27,  1 Corinthians 13,  John 15,  Psalm 126,  Psalm 19.

If Jesus... Then Why...?

If Jesus forgave our sins,  then why can't we forgive others?

If Jesus served us, then why can't we spend a little time helping others?

If Jesus taught us, then why can't we let others know about it?

If Jesus saved us, then why we let others perish?

If Jesus thought about us, then why we forget others?

If Jesus blessed us, then why we curse others?

If Jesus gave us hope, then why we let others become more desperate?

New Year, New Start

"As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." - Psalm 103:12 NIV

You know how it is; there s always someone (normally during Christmas) who you need to buy little present for. Something fun or silly or not too pricey. I expect that is why you can buy the "wash-away-your-sins Soul-saver Pack" from you local bookstore. For a mere $5, you get a little box with bubble bath "for a sanctified soak", holy water "dab on redemption for blessed relief", and guide book "write your wrongs on 32 purified pages".  According to the box, it is cardinal-approved, bishop-tested, oh and "blessed by the best!"

January 1st, of course, is the one day of the year when most people are thinking about making a fresh start, with a a clean slate of last year's mess up behind them. Today you can make some resolution. You can even have a "sanctified soak" with some gimmicky bubble bath. But if you really want to be made clean and have a new beginning, then you need Jesus. When we "fess up about our mess up, when we ask God to forgive us and give us new start, He loves it! Imagine that! Whatever last year was like, you can start this year, clean, pure and right with God. You just have to ask Him and be ready to live a new way. Check out 1 John 1:8, "If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just, quick to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong."

Happy New Year, Happy New Beginning!
