I believe in one God, who exists in three Persons — the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is loving, holy and just.
I believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is inspired and accurate. It is our perfect guide in all matters of life.
I believe that sin has separated us all from God, and that only through Jesus Christ can we be reconciled to God.
I believe that Jesus Christ is both God and Man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took all our sins upon Himself, died and rose again. Today, He is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator.
I believe that salvation is the gift of God to man. This gift is effected by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and it produces works pleasing to God.
I believe that water baptism is an outward act that demonstrates a believer's identification with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
I believe that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives. He also blesses us with spiritual gifts and empowers us to yield the fruit of the Spirit.
I believe that the Holy Communion is a celebration of Jesus’ death and our remembrance of Him.
I believe that we are called to preach the gospel to all nations.
I believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again just as He promised.

Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?
Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? —Matthew 8:26
When we are afraid we do stupid things.. panic stricken in worrisome situations and as we filipinos say.. "kapit sa patalim" as a reaction to fear.. ( i dont know how to translate this properly).
... "the least we can do is pray to God. But our Lord has a right to expect that those who name His name have an underlying confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the ones who are reliable". oswald chambers

Jesus did not come to this world make bad people good but He came to this world to make dead people LIVE..
Jesus did not come to this world make bad people good but He came to this world to make dead people LIVE..
John 3:3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.
9 “How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked......
13 No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
God Himself made an offering His SON to bring redemption.. no other offering is accepted or perfect to redeem humanity. And its is accepted by faith in God's Son Jesus.
Ravi Zacharias said "the fundamental problem with humanity is not that humanity is immoral but because its unspiritual and lost.. we can be a morally unredeemed person. Morally good but spiritually lost."
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.

Honor and Trust
HONOR the Lord with your wealth
and with the best part of everything you produce.
Then he will fill your barns with grain,
and your vats will overflow with good wine. proverbs 3:9-10
Allot of preachers use this passage as a word "give in order to receive" I see this passage as WORSHIP.. as putting God first. Trusting HIM and not wealth...
We usually put ourselves first and end up empty handed, poof!! wasted away.. depth and meaning just passed by.. as the passage shows God will fill us, as we worship and honor Him, everything will seem unimportant..

Trust
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.
A Christian is someone who trusts in the knowledge and the wisdom of God, not in his own abilities. If we have a purpose of our own, it destroys the simplicity and the calm, relaxed pace which should be characteristic of the children of God. Oswald Chambers..
