Philip and Chette Friendster Blog

Do you know the story "Mary of Bethany?" When she poured the expensive perfume to her hair and wiped it to Jesus’ feet? What does the other apostles said? They criticize her from doing that. Have you ever experience something like this? I have.. a lot of times. But the latest thing happen.. (Like this) was about our church. We had a motorcade last June and it was a successful one, we have experience the PILLAR of CLOUD covering us and the respond of the people were positive. We were yelling "JESUS IS LORD!" and then they were yelling too like that.

It is indeed positive. A wake up calls in our place saying, "There’s hope! Jesus is still Lord!" But what we did not expect… that we had a negative comments from the other churches. From other Christian Churches, they said we have done that to get a lot of attention, to make money… to support Brother Eddie Villanueva (they thought it was a political rally) ;_; Sadly… they are CHRISTIANS but instead of how happy they should be, because it is for God’s glory… They responded such rude… words… Though I admire our Church leaders and most especially pastor Arnel (Praise the Lord for his life) he said not to take it seriously, treat it as a positive comment, and when we see them don’t mention this thing again.. and don’t hold grudge against them.

Well God bless them whoever they are

God bless,

Have you ever said these things to yourself? "I wish I am beautiful like (Insert name here)"; "I wish I can sing like (Insert name here)"; "I wish I can preach like (Insert name here)".

Chette: In simple question, "have you ever compared yourself to others?" Well there will always be others that we compare ourselves too (and I admit that I know a lot of Christians too that compare themselves with this and that).

Philip: But think about this, if we waste our lives dwelling on the things that we don’t have… we will never fully appreciate all the things we have. Remember that we are all UNIQUE.. each and everyone of us. I’m the only person in the world who is exactly like ME. You are the only person in this world who is exactly YOU.

Chette: No one else has your particular talents, voice, particular goals, You are you. I am me. I am the only me… you are only you… each of US is one of a KIND, and we’re the BEST YOU and ME there is

LIFE is a STAGE, and you’ve got the best part - YOU.
