The Reason Why I believe in Reformed Theology

It is no secret that I believe in the reformed theology. The theology that Martin Luther resurfaced when he nailed his 95 these to Wittenburg Cathedral door. This is also the theology that John Calvin embraced. That is why sometimes the reformed theology is synonymous to Calvinism or the teachings of Calvin. But let me be quick to say that these teachings are not new even to Luther and Calvin's time, reformation era was during the 1500s. These teachings are conclusions of what the Bible teaches.  The book of Romans is shouting these doctrines since its writing. Jesus also talks about them (visit  http://www.calvinistcorner.com/Jesus-tulip.htm ). So this means that the reformed theology came from the Bible and Jesus himself. But it is sad that these doctrines are being rejected and always being debated. Why? Because they are hard to swallow. Why are they hard to swallow or accept? Because it is contrary to the teachings that are used these days. Now they teach that everybod...

Small Gestures

Preface: I wrote this short poem? letter? note? I don't know what to call it but I wrote this 452 days ago according to my iPhone notes. I was just browsing through my notes and saw this. I just thought of posting this since I know that these questions have been answered now. Hi you I still haven't met you How are u doing? How was your day? How did u rely on the Lord today? I miss you I know i miss you I will know that u miss me too by your little sweet gestures Your hand slowly fitting into mine Your head leaning towards my shoulder You fixing my hair You trying to tickle me Small gestures that doesn't say I love you but show that you love me Can I expect these small gestures? Can I do the same in return? When would our eyes meet? Have our eyes met already? I miss you I love you I need you

Discipler-Disciple Relationship

I think it is about time to share my experience as a Discipler. Well the term 'Discipler' is not really a known english term but it came from the word Disciple. A Discipler is someone who disciples. This term was introduced to me when I started attending CCF and also heard this term from CCC (Campus Crusade for Christ) people. Now, I want to share the importance of this relationship and why it is a privilege to become a discipler. Discipleship is a biblical term to describe what Jesus did to train his disciples. What not all people know is that Jesus had many followers not only the 12. The 12 disciples were the selected few, the stand outs and the ones who followed Jesus for 3 years. From the 12 Jesus selected 3 people, Peter, James, and John. These 3 were his closest disciples. These disciples were not only followers of Jesus but also became his friends. Jesus' disciples had the privilege to have a front row seat to every miracle, every teaching, every amazing event ...
