When I went to church in the 90’s I remember singing the same 20 songs for one year. We memorized, taken it into heart, we hum it, we have internalize the hymns. We can sing the song by memory and if you tell me to sing the songs I’ve learned in church 20 years ago – I could almost sing it word for word. That was how we worship 20 years ago. Something happened though – today worship songs being sung every Sunday is usually sung for 2 months and then we have new sets of songs that we sing for the next 2 to 3 months. The worship songs...

Church people who loves anonymity dreads accountabilty. If people don’t know me – then it does not matter how I live my life – nobody knows and nobody cares. Not that nobody in church wants to know and care it is just Mr/Ms Anonymous prefers it that way. Remaining anonymous won’t challenge you to be the man or woman that God has destined you to be – or it might but who would know? Sidenote: Pastor Jayson started a NEW GROUPS FOR NEW PEOPLE and 15 people showed up. If you are interested to join just be at Music Museum lobby 130pm...

Two days ago I blogged about the BOY’S ROOM and how men should leave their rooms and build a house for his wife. Now you might say the blog does not apply to me since I live in my mother-in-law’s house then we’ve got a BIGGER problem!!!! Why am I an advocate for COUPLES to LEAVE their parents and CLEAVE together to start a NEW LIFE? 1. It is the Biblical way. Gen. 2:23  The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” Gen. 2:24  For this reason a man...

- today was our annual volunteer’s Sunday where we challenge present volunteers to renew and encourage the others to volunteer and take part of what God is doing in His church. - church has really grown thus the need to double our volunteer base. We will be processing the commitment cards and will update of the number of new volunteers for this year. - the worship was over the top. I love seeing Charles autista on lead today. We need more godly men leading worship. - KL, Nove, Thammie and Wayne were excellent also. KL reminds me of a young Nove ( not...

Was reading Seth’s blog yesterday and a paragraph in his blog hit me like a Pentecostal televangelist would lay his hand on a poor guy and cast the demon of whatever out of him and he lays on the floor quivering. Seth Godin writes: “People are just begging to be told what to do. There are a lot of reasons for this, but I think the biggest one is: “If you tell me what to do, the responsibility for the outcome is yours, not mine. I’m safe.” If you have been hired to do the job – stop telling your boss what you need to do....

Just typing the word “BOY’S ROOM” gives me endless memories and pictures of my room when I was young and still living with my parents. I remember our INTERCOM with the words written BOYS ROOM – yeah that’s my room. In that room I am the king except when mom barges in and tells me to wake up because its already late! In my boy’s room you will find my: - PUGAD BABOY COLLECTIONS - GI JOE COLLECTIONS - NBA CARDS COLLECTION -MY GELLI DE BELEN POSTERS / MIKEE COJUANGCO PIN UPS - MY JORDAN, JAWORSKI, PIDO JARENCIO POSTERS I...

For the past two years we have literally survived with a very thin church staff. We have designed church to be this way to give people an opportunity to volunteer and serve Jesus – the highest privilege given to man. In our first year – I remember having only me and our admin Sheryn on the payroll. No office, no phones, no printers. We miraculously made it to year two. And now we are entering year 3 with 3 admin staff, 4 pastors, and 2 campus missionaries. How was that possible? VOLUNTEERS. 250+ volunteers for the last two years. Some who helped...

Since our courtship days Thammie and I decided that we will call each other GA or Pangga which means darling in Bisaya. The reason we started calling each other GA because we couldn’t stand hearing terms of endearment like HONEY BUNCH, SWEETIE PIE, or the likes. But let me warn you: this would be cheesy: Thammie – mahal na mahal kita. Super mahal kita. I am a very blessed man. You are the epitome of a Proverbs 31 woman. Grabe ka sa pag- asikaso sa akin at sa mga anak natin. The household is well cared for because of you. I am a blessed man coming...

Yesterday I blogged about the secret to last in ministry. We have to PLAY. Yes PLAY and not pray though prayer is also a vital part of lasting long in ministry. Here is the principle of PLAY. Ex. 5:1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’ ” Ex. 5:3 ¶ So they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice to the LORD our God, lest He fall upon us with pestilence...

What is the secret to LASTING LONG in ministry? What is the secret to not getting BURNED OUT? What is the secret to mighty men and women of God who endured the test of time? Studies show that a lot of pastors quit after two years of ministry. Every year thousands of pastors quit every month and thousands of churches closes. Most of the time they have neglected to live out the principle that I am about to share. THE SECRET TO MINISTRY FRUITFULNESS AND LONGEVITY IS: PLAY. Yes play. I did not misspell the word. ( did I misspell mispel?) Not pray – though...
