Christian Pinoys!

This was originally from our Pastor at Celebrate God’s Goodness Fellowship Center. They once lived in an area surrounded by NPA (New People’s Army).

NPA is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines. It was formed on March 29, 1969. The Maoist NPA conducts its armed guerrilla struggle based on the strategical line of ‘protracted people’s war‘.The NPA has been classified as a terrorist organization by the United States.

These are the books in the Old Testament and what they are all about. This is for reference purposes: to help students and everyone else learning the bible. The books are ordered the same way it is in the Bible. (Reference: BIBLE, Contemporary English Version)

Genesis – This book tells about a number of “beginnings” – the creation of the world and of the first man and woman. It also tells how God made a special covenant (agreement) with Abraham and promised to bless him and his descendants. Genesis also includes a number of stories about two of Abraham’s descendants: his grandson Jacob, who was also known as Israel, and Abraham’s great-grandson Joseph who became an important administrator and court official for the king of Egypt.

This is a continuation of my previous article called “Who is God“… Here is another example of how God surprises me: A few years ago, around  2003 or 2004, I remembered a very intriguing book I had read in the Bible in 1999. You see, before I became a Christian in 1999, in Jordan at the age of 16 I read the Bible from cover to cover. Reading the Bible for the first time was, and still is until today, the most exciting experience I had ever gone through. But one book stood out from the rest like no other to me: the book of Hosea. The book of Hosea stood out to me because being a Middle Eastern young man made the idea of God asking a prophet to marry an adulterous woman a very strange idea to me. So I decided that I was going to read the book of Hosea but this time, unlike the previous times, I was going to read it for its message only, not because I was reading the Bible cover to cover.
