In the Last Days of our Lives (so you would be prepared)

2 Timothy 3:1-7 [1] But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. [2] People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, [3] without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, [4] treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— [5] having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. [6] They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, [7] always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. ------------------------------------------ God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

A Prayer for Mercy

Psalm 25:6-7 [6] Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,     for they are from of old. [7] Do not remember the sins of my youth     and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me,     for you, Lord, are good. ---------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Sad But True

Galatians 2:4 [4] This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. ------------------------------------ Best regards, Bro. Rontabs

A Prayer to Protect You From Those Who Hate You

Psalm 69:4-18 [4] Those who hate me without reason     outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause,     those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore     what I did not steal. [5] You, God, know my folly;     my guilt is not hidden from you. [6] Lord, the Lord Almighty,     may those who hope in you     not be disgraced because of me; God of Israel,     may those who seek you     not be put to shame because of me. [7] For I endure scorn for your sake,     and shame covers my face. [8] I am a foreigner to my own family,     a stranger to my own mother’s children; [9] for zeal for your house consumes me,     and the insults of those who insult you fall on me. [10] When I weep and fast,     I must endure scorn; [11] when I put on sackcloth,     people make sport of me. [12] Those who sit at the gate mock me,     and I am the song of the drunkards. [13] But I pray to you, Lord,     in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God,     answer me with your su

An Adversity Series - You Are Not Paranoid. Enemies are Everywhere. Do Not Let Your Guard Down.

Psalm 64:1-9 [1] Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;     protect my life from the threat of the enemy. [2] Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,     from the plots of evildoers. [3] They sharpen their tongues like swords     and aim cruel words like deadly arrows. [4] They shoot from ambush at the innocent;     they shoot suddenly, without fear. [5] They encourage each other in evil plans,     they talk about hiding their snares;     they say, “Who will see it?” [6] They plot injustice and say,     “We have devised a perfect plan!”     Surely the human mind and heart are cunning. [7] But God will shoot them with his arrows;     they will suddenly be struck down. [8] He will turn their own tongues against them     and bring them to ruin;     all who see them will shake their heads in scorn. [9] All people will fear;     they will proclaim the works of God     and ponder what he has done. ---------------------------------- Take care. God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

A Prayer for the Elderly

Psalm 71:9-13 [9] Do not cast me away when I am old;     do not forsake me when my strength is gone. [10] For my enemies speak against me;     those who wait to kill me conspire together. [11] They say, “God has forsaken him;     pursue him and seize him,     for no one will rescue him.” [12] Do not be far from me, my God;     come quickly, God, to help me. [13] May my accusers perish in shame;     may those who want to harm me     be covered with scorn and disgrace. ----------------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Maligayang Pasko

Romans 15:13 [13] May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ------------------------------------------ God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Revelations - The Apostles Never Killed

Acts 5:3-6 [3] Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? [4] Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” [5] When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. [6] Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. ------------------------------------- Luke 9:54 [54] When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” ------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

A Prayer for Contentment

Proverbs 30:7-9 [7] “Two things I ask of you, Lord;     do not refuse me before I die: [8] Keep falsehood and lies far from me;     give me neither poverty nor riches,     but give me only my daily bread. [9] Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you     and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal,     and so dishonor the name of my God. ----------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Divine Understanding Series - The Truth About the Poor

James 2:5-7 [5] Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? [6] But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? [7] Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong? ------------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Divine Understanding Series - God Gave You Lust (but it's not what you think)

Romans 1:26-27 [26] Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. [27] In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. ---------------------------------------------------------- Keep the Faith and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The Origin of Music, for Humans, at least

When Does Someone Commit Blasphemy?

Romans 2:19-24 [19] if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,  [20] an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—  [21] you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?  [22] You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?  [23] You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?  [24] As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” ----------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

On Mercy - Why We Need to be Merciful

James 2:12-13 [12] Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, [13] because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Enjoying is a Gift of God

 -- Old Testament -- Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 [12] I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. [13] That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. ---------------------------------- -- New Testament -- 1 Timothy 6:17 [17] Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

Revelations - Revealing the Anti-Christ

1 John 2:22-23 [22] Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. [23] No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. ------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs

The New Testament Bible is Anti-Hate

1 John 2:9-11 [9] Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. [10] Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. [11] But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. ---------------------------------- God bless and best regards, Bro. Rontabs
