I started my week attending church. Our Sunday school topic was "The way christian live", I was blessed with the Sunday preaching entitled ' Idols of the Heart'. Monday was declared holiday, I spent the whole day playing with my two sons. Tuesday, a promise of a good start for my job. Iwas in Mapandan at around 8am Iwas some 35 km from where I live. On my way to Dagupan, I heard a typhoon will come that afternoon.
The following day was indeed rainy w/c resulted to the suspension of classes, due to the bad weather I got sick. But I got this opportunity to spend the whole day with my kids agian, minus the presence of my wife who was in the office. The next day roads were underwater, I fixed some paper works and worked afterwards. On that evening, it was a fateful day when I watched my team UE Red Warriors lose in the game.
Friday, a fresh start as the suns smiles over GOD's creation, a fruitful day for my job. Saturday was very relaxing , as I played basketball with my buddies and in the afternoon, watched movie with my wife.

Salvation
The need for Salvation
From: JILC-DBBS Module
Unless we realize that we need SALVATION and that we cannot gain or buy eternal life by our own abilities, there is no way we can be saved.
1) Because the Bible says everyone is a sinner.
Romans 3:10,23 There is no righteous,no not one; for all have sinned.
2) Because the wages of sin is death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3)because it takes only one lie to make a liar.
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
4) Because any sin separates you from your God.
Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separeted you from your God
5) Because we will surely perish.
Luke 13:3 But unless you repent you too will perish.
But John 3:16 says
For God so love the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
So Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Believe in Him, and Confess you sin.

Talents
Read Matthew 25:14-28
*A talent represents our abilities, time, resources and opportunities to serve GOD while on earth.
*All Christians have one thing in common at least a talent and time.
* Each one recieved entrustments according to His ability.
How do I use the following for GOD's glory?
> Money
>Talents and Abilities
>Time
*We are responsible to use well what God has given us.
*The issue is not how much we have, but how well we use what we have.

Christian Life
Read 1Cor. 9:24-27
Perseverance, Persistence, the Prize!! The Christian life was never promised as an easy way to live; Instead, 1 Cor. 9:24-27 constantly reminds us that we must have a purpose and a plan because times will be difficult and satan will attack. But we never persevere w/o the promise of a price- a promise GOD will keep.
* What is our purpose?
- run to get the prize.
- run straight to the goal.
* What is our plan?
- deny yourself whatever is potentially harmful.
- discipline your body, training it.
* What is our Prize?
- a crown that will last forever
* What is our penalty?
- disqualifacation (it does not mean that we could lose our salvation but rather we could lose our privelage of telling others about Christ (credibility). we must practice what we learn)

LOVE
Read Matthew 22:34-40
>God’s laws are not burdensome. They can be reduced to two simple principles- love God and love others.
>How can we show our love for God?
>How can we show our love for our neighbor?
>What do you think is more important in obeying God, concentrating about all we should not do? Or we should concentrate on all we can do to show our love for God and others?
