The Mist’s Manifesto: January
I hope to encourage everyone to make fifty-two weeks of 2018 to matter. I wrote the The Mist’s Manifesto taken from the verse in James 4:14 that we are like a mist. We have so many things that we want to do with so little time here on Earth. The last day of the month … Continue reading The Mist’s Manifesto: January

What Discipleship Is Not
This is Alexander. He is my disciple. That is not Jesus introducing Alexander to me. In more than one occasion, I encountered people who introduced their friends with that same outline. When I was new in my journey and was starting to do one2one also, it crossed my head to do the same. It seemed … Continue reading What Discipleship Is Not
I Went Through Depression And So Did Jesus
I went through depression. Depression is not a choice. You can be defenseless when it happens to you. It attacks when you are happy. It attacks when you are sad. It has no specific patterns. It chooses no gender. There are hints about it in my other articles like the words ‘void’ and ‘empty’. To … Continue reading I Went Through Depression And So Did Jesus

How Are You Setting Your Standards?
When getting into relationships, how are you setting your standards? Do physical qualities matter more than the person's character? Do you stick to your standards, or compromises the second you find something irresistible from a person you want to get close with? Ungodly Standards I feel sad that most people rush getting into a relationship, … Continue reading How Are You Setting Your Standards?
Values Driven Marriage: Honor God
We do not fight. We have passionate discussions. We’ve had long silence until one caves in. One of our core memories as a couple was when we were in Baguio. One night after a great dinner, we went to 711 to buy water. It was an easy pick until I saw the original branding of … Continue reading Values Driven Marriage: Honor God

She said yes to be in a relationship with me two months after. I proposed to her four … Continue reading Values Driven Marriage
