Prayer is not just what we do every now and then. It is the essence of our relationship with God. The quality of our prayer lives is a reflection of the depth of our relationship with God. Neglecting prayer is tantamount to neglecting our relationship with God.

Communityship is an exciting journey, except for one problem... you have to do it with imperfect and sinning people! In any community of faith, whether small, medium, or large, people will offend each other one way or the other. There is no way of escaping it unless you choose to fake it! The blessing of communityship comes through the process of constant forgiveness. Often it's hard and challenging, and sometimes even frustrating, because not everyone understands or is willing to cooperate. We must always practice constant forgiveness throughout our journey of communityship together.

God called us and saved us so that we may experience real life in Christ. Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10) Unfortunately, many followers of Christ today are not experiencing this. They are looking forward to it in the next life someday but not now. How can we experience real life today?

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? 2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises. 4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. 5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people. 7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. 8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say, "let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.” 9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. 10 From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God. 11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. (Psalm 22:1-11)
The Christian life is a journey. It's not always full of consolation. Sometimes you also experience desolation. When that happens, we need to discern why. Sometimes the Lord is correcting us. But sometimes the Lord is purifying us. We need to know the difference and respond to Him accordingly.

Is it wrong to aim for success in life? Is it wrong to be ambitious? Some people feel guilty about this. Others, of course, couldn't care less. They want to be successful in life no matter what. That's why personal ambitions drive them. But can we aim for success without compromising our faith? Can we be ambitious and still retain our commitment to Christ? What a lot of people don't know is that there is such a thing as spiritual success. God wants us to succeed in our lives, spiritually speaking. We cannot become dreamers and doers if we are afraid of ambition and success. But just like our wrong views about God, we must renew our minds concerning true success.

This month we want to delve deeper into mental health issues and look at specific problems. Our primary source of inspiration will be the Book of Psalms. Specifically, we want to investigate and address the most common types of mental health issues that people face today. To start off this series, let us focus on depression – one of the most widespread yet misunderstood mental health challenges.

Often the enemy of our souls attacks us at our weakest point. This is why we must watch ourselves and take note of those areas where we are vulnerable spiritually.

Spiritual revival is exciting! We want to experience more of it. But will it last without moral purity? No, it cannot last unless the church recovers its calling to live godly lives by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is a challenging task, especially in today’s society. The pressure to conform to the world’s standards is an ever-present temptation. No one is immune to the daily challenge of living pure lives for God’s glory. How can we, as a church, overcome this? How can we live in purity amidst so much depravity?

The Dangers of Being a Spiritual Leader | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC
Text: Luke 11:37-54
Being a spiritual leader is a great opportunity to do something good. But it is also both a duty and a danger. The duty of taking care of God's people is of course very important. The Lord wants us to shepherd His people according to His will and purpose. But doing so can also be dangerous, especially when we do not pay attention to our own hearts. We can end up hindering God's work rather than promoting it.

The heart of our Savior is for Christian unity. Yet, as we see today, we confront the stark reality of disunity and division among Christians. We cannot experience spiritual revival apart from true Christian unity. The apostle Paul, in Ephesians 4:1-16, offers us a roadmap to how we can pursue this. This urgent need for unity is not new; it has persisted throughout the history of the Church. Today, let us look into God's Word and seek answers on how to maintain unity, so that we may shine as a beacon of Christ's love in a fractured world.
