GraceFULL

Where would I be if not for your grace?
Carrying me in every season.
Grace that repairs visions and dreams.*

NO Time?

Posted by: fcbaula on: January 28, 2008

I just remembered this story that Ptr. Sonny Oaman ended his preaching with, a couple of Sundays before.
There’s this boy who asked his father how much he earns for a living. His father, quite insulted, answered that he earns not less than a thousand per day. The boy then asked for 500. The father [...]

Church Illustrated

Posted by: fcbaula on: November 18, 2007

What a lovely surprise. This was the first time we ever had to change venue for the service, which wasn’t announced earlier. Apparently, it was unexpected. I’m guessing it was only during the first service at 9 o’clock that they noticed the strong stench of the paint ( I don’t know where it was coming [...]

Passing this Sunday’s Test

Posted by: fcbaula on: October 21, 2007

Today, my motives in attending the service have been put to the test.
To be blunt, the music team was…well, not the usual excellent, spirit-filled, enthusiastic, awesome team that I was accustomed to. But I guess that’s the true test there. All these years, have I really worshipped God or have I been simply singing songs [...]

If not for Bin Laden

Posted by: fcbaula on: September 2, 2007

It’s always a delight and a great privilege to hear the word of God from his greatest disciples. Pastor Rey Corpuz, famous for being a missionary to the Muslims, preached the Word for the World Missions Sunday today.
He mentioned that Bin Laden was his hero. I wasn’t surprised. Bin Laden is my hero as well. [...]
