It's natural for parents to want the best for their children. There are a lot of ways to achieve that, like securing a life and educational insurance, pag-iipon, o 'di kaya ay pag-iinvest ngayon para may maipamana sa mga anak.

Christ's birth is indeed “good news of great joy for all the people” because He would call all sinners to repent of their sin and return to God. And everyone who repents and receives His message will be saved. “Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10, ESV).  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Are you familiar with the saying, “born with a silver spoon in one's mouth”? That's how children of kings or business tycoons are described. Contrast that with “wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12, NIV). That's how the birth of Jesus is described. Instead of a doctor and nurses attending to the newborn king, it was sheep and other cattle that welcomed Him.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

More than 2,000 years ago, Joseph and Mary had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem, back to their hometown, for the first-ever census ordered by Governor Quirinius.

Paano nga ba magsi-celebrate ng Pasko kung nawalan ka ng mahal sa buhay dahil sa sakit, sa aksidente, o iba pa mang kadahilanan? OK lang bang malungkot at hindi magsaya kagaya ng ine-expect ng karamihan?

It is in this secret place that we rise above the mere-praying level and be in an intimate relationship with the Lord that genuinely changes our lives.

Sa mundong ito, hindi madaling makatagpo ng mga taong handang umagapay. Marami ang nanghuhusga at sumasagap lang ng tsismis.

Sa kuwento ng prodigal son, matapos siyang lumayas at sirain ang sariling buhay, sa kanyang pagbabalik ay nagmamadaling ipinag-utos ng tatay niya na kunin ang pinakamagandang damit at bihisan siya.

Have you met someone na biglaang yumaman o na-promote, pero hindi pa handa sa bagong responsibilidad? Minsan, ang saya ng biglang biyaya — bagong posisyon, mas malaking suweldo, mas maraming opportunities.

Pero ang sabi sa Proverbs 24:16 (NIRV), “Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up.” No one is exempt from troubles, but God promises a rebound.

Napakagandang pagmasdan ang pagsikat ng araw kahit nasa Luneta ka lang, nasa White Beach ng Boracay, o nasa terrace ng inyong bahay.

In this world, many people give more recognition and respect to those who are considered popular and great. Societies tend to favor those with power and possessions.

Because of this, the poor and the lowly often think little of themselves.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

It is easy to thank God when things are going our way. It feels good to praise the Lord when there is a job promotion, a successful surgery, or good news.

Huwag tayong matakot na humarap sa Panginoon kapag tayo ay nagkasala. There is also no such thing as wrong timing. Lagi Siyang handang makinig, umunawa, gumabay at magpatawad. Wala Siyang pamalong bitbit. Hindi mabigat ang Kanyang kamay. In John 3:17 we read, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

I'm sure you've heard of the phrase, “white lies.” People refer to this as minor twisting of the truth that do not cause serious consequences. Halimbawa, sinabi mong you ate your baon in school, pero ang totoo ay pinamigay mo lang sa classmates mo. O kaya'y sinabi mo sa boss mo that you like her outfit, but the truth is you don't. Walang malaking consequence at madaling malusutan, right?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

We can always set goals for ourselves and try to define our life's purpose. Pero iba kapag kay Lord galing ang bagay na ito. Tingnan na lang natin si Gideon.

He did not expect that anything great will happen in his life — basta maitawid niya ang bawat araw, okay na siya.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show
