Kuya Kevin Hits the Spot…again
Another great post from kuya kevin
Just want to share the comment I sent to him too in response to his post entitled
Sexual Sin and Regret: Esau’s Example
“Another nice post kuya kevin And the comments shared were enough to justify the meaning you want to come across.
I know my brother and most of my friends had or has been suffering with the same regret as Jimmy did; and I had felt the same regret in one time or another after “giving in” for premarital sex.
What i do want to share, though, is that regret won’t get me anywhere now. But to just be lonely and sad in thinking of “what might have been” had I not gave it all. So I decided to just move on, enjoy the life i was given, and just charge that to experience. ^_^
Getting in to Heaven… The Gifts or The Giver?
Rajsh sent another nice Bible verse in my email..read up and be inspired
Read detailed explanation
**detailed explanation**
Getting into Heaven is not about what you’ve done; it’s about what God’s done.
You have probably encountered a few people who hoped that they would get into Heaven because they have lived a good life. Indeed, there are many people in the world who think that all the right things they do will get them into Heaven. However, Paul knew that “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Fortunately, God loved us so much that He provided an answer: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Furthermore, 1 Peter 3:18 tells us that “Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
Therefore, it is no wonder Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Notice that nothing in any of those verses refers to our ability to reach Heaven. That’s because it is impossible for us to reach Heaven on our own strength. Remember, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” Therefore, our salvation must be based entirely on what God has done. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The only requirement for getting into Heaven is believing in Jesus as your Savior and Lord. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Romans 10:9-10).
There is nothing that you can do to earn salvation. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. That’s because getting into Heaven is not about what you’ve done; it’s about what God’s done.
Are you seeking the gifts or the Giver?
Sometimes we get so caught up in seeking God’s presents that we forget all about His presence! God wants every believer to remain in His presence and have a personal relationship with Him just like you would with any other friend.
King David knew the importance of seeking God’s presence and dwelling with Him. In Psalm 27:4, David writes, One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. David set himself to seek and require one thing–God’s presence.
The next two verses (Psalm 27:5-6) tell us the rewards of seeking God: For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at His tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.
The rewards of seeking God are awesome; not only will you develop a closer relationship with God, but you will also find true joy and contentment.
Psalm 16:11 says, You will fill me with joy in your presence. In other words, joy is found in God’s presence–not His presents! Therefore, evaluate your life to make sure that you’re seeking God, not just His gifts.
A response…
…to a good post (Online or Offline Dating: Which is safer?)
Hi theresa. My dear friend shared this post and it really caught my attention
Been dating and meeting guys online for how many years now, and yes you are right – there’s no guarantee whether your relationship (if you have one) will work out right or not.
Luckily enough though,almost all the guys I met were honest enough to admit on our first meeting whether they’re engaged,single dads,a drug addict,only out for sex and intimacy or other stuff like that.Their honesty made me weigh my options to whether consider seeing them again or not anymore. I guess its just on my way how to bring out the ‘real’ them which leads to their confession.Ü
I know not all ladies are lucky enough to know guys like these, and still in the midst of finding out how I made them say the truth.
But it all boils down to one thing. It is on how the two of you will treat each other after finding out that you failed or get to meet each other’s expectations – no matter how you two met.
Of course I won’t deny that I have had my own share of false hopes and judgment online. I am just a girl who let’s say is lucky enough on paper or online, but unlucky when it comes to personal meetups.Ü
Thanks for sharing this post and for reading my very long reaction..hehehe.
I’ll definitely follow what my Christian friends always tell me – and you did too – “pray, pray and pray, long and patiently before you plunge into a lifetime commitment”. I am not a pure Christian, but I am very well open to other religion especially if it will make me a better person in the eyes of God. Ü
Keep inspiring women my dear. Godbless you ^.^

Basta Lovelife. Part 3
Previously, I wrote about a story that I’ve seen over and over again in the lives of women. There’s another tragedy that happens to women. The story goes something like this:
1. Woman and man begin courtship.
2. Woman observes “warning signs” that the man has a major character problem or characteristic which makes them incompatible.
3. Woman decides that she can “fix” his flaw or chooses to ignore it.
4. The man’s character flaw remains, and so does the woman’s illusion.
5. The woman ends up in a miserable relationship; possibly a miserable marriage.
This foolish way of thinking/behaving is summarized in these three words: He Can Change. Women often think they can change men. I’m sure some men are guilty of this too, but it seems that women in particular are vulnerable to his treacherous way of thinking. It may sound something like this:
“He’s unfaithful, but he can change. “
“He has vices/addictions, but he can change.”
“I’m not sure that he’s trustworthy, but he can change.”
“He’s not really passionate about his faith, but he can change.”
“He has a temper problem, but he can change.”
“He doesn’t treat his mother well, but he can change.”
“He doesn’t have any ambition in life, but he can change.”
Do i believe that people can change? Through the transforming power of Christ — yes! Through a dysfunctional relationship — no! Ladies, there is a Savior; there is a life-changer. It is Jesus, not you. Look for a healthy relationship, not a person in need of rescue or major changes.
Bo Sanchez made a tragic observation in How to Find Your One True Love. He noted that some women are more selective about the shoes they buy than they are about the men they get involved with. OK naman kung mapili ka — It’s OK to be choosy! You are a queen — go find yourself a king! Make yourself a list of qualities that your future spouse must have (example: good character, financially stable, etc). Make a list of negative qualities that he must not have (example: vices, unfaithful). Don’t accept suitors who don’t meet these standards! Why waste your time?
The following verse describes those who are not ready to change despite serious character problems. If you are not careful, it will describe your life as well.
so a fool repeats his foolishness.
- Proverbs 26:11-

Basta Lovelife. Part 2
The story goes something like this:
1. Boy meets girl and begins dating/courtship.
2. boy professes undying love and pressures girl to have sex.
3. Girl gives in to boy’s pressure and has sex with him.
4. Boy loses interest and dumps girl.
5. Girl is left to deal with her broken heart as well as any physical consequences.
There are a few variations to this story. For example, sometimes the girl realizes too late that she was not even the only girlfriend — she was just one of his many “conquests”. Sometimes the couple was together for months (or years) and she thought that they would get married. Regardless, the outcome is usually the same — a young woman with a broken heart.
I meet hundreds of students each year, and I’ve heard this story many times. Please don’t let this happen to you. If you are being pressured to have sex, the relationship is already dead. It is over (tapos na talaga). The only question is the price you will pay before you realize it is over. Take my word on this or you too will pay a high price.

Basta Lovelife. Part 1
I found this book really helpful though. I hope u guys buy one too and let it guide you through the hoops of the crazy thing called “love”. Read up! ^_^
* Good character comes from making the right choices, not from getting older.
* Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love. ~ Proverbs 5:18-19
* The earlier in life one is exposed to porn, the more harmful the effects tend to be.
* A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. ~ Proverbs 14:1
*Say “no” to Mr. Bolero – End the relationship immediately if you are pressured to have sex. Sexual pressure is inexcusable!
1. I do not respect you enough to wait.
2. I do not care if I ruin your life by getting you pregnant.
3. My physical urges are what are most important to me.
4. You are not worth waiting for.
5. I do not care if I break your heart.
6. Your failure is not important to me.
7. I do not care if you lose your self-respect.
8. I want to brag to my friends about my conquest.
9. I am selfish.
10. I am immature.
11. I am not ready to be a father, but I don’t mind giving you the responsibility of becoming a mother.
12. I am more important than you are.
~ Do any of these lines sound like true love?
You may think I’m exaggerating, but i’m not. I’ve been in the men’s locker room. I know what some teenage boys say wen their girlfriends are away. If a guy starts putting on the pressure, the relationship is pretty much over. He has revealed his true intentions. You are about to get used in the most despicable way. Get rid of him before you have a broken heart. You deserve better!

Another nice Bible Verse from Rajsh

Provided by Christ Notes
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
1 Timothy 6:6-10 (New International Version)
Nice Thought to Ponder On…

“As you get older, every choice that you make defines who you’re gonna turn into. And every once in a while, you need to look at yourself & ask if you like the person you’re becoming.”
