Living to Please God
“Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book to do according to all that […]
God Is Covenant Keeping
He spread a cloud for covering, and fire to give light by night. They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance. He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.1Today marks my […]
The Supremacy of Jesus
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and […]
Blessed Is He Who Trusts in the Lord
Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.1 Our bodies need food and so does our soul. We need to surround ourselves with people who strengthen, encourage, and comfort us. Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.2 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins […]
The Test
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall […]
Worldly Wisdom vs. Godly Wisdom
When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. […]
Responding to the Call
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.1We have three personalities: A shepherd boy; a son of a king; and a virgin. They were David, Manasseh, and Mary, respectively. Jesse and his sons were invited. Samuel considered Eliab. But the […]
I Know You by Name
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!1 You have set your glory above the heavens. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son […]
A Little Fire to a Roaring Flame
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.1 How can David make a preposterous claim? Is this bold claim merely positive thinking or is it reality? By what means do I, likewise, confidently claim, believe, and declare this […]
From Faith to Faith; Glory to Glory
No unbelief made [Abraham] waiver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.1 How do we grow in the faith? All growth is a process. There is a start, the continuous intentional walk, […]
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mabuhay! Hola! Hi! I am George Rodriguez (or GR, for short). A husband. A father of two. And a Small Group Leader.
I married Stella on the 3rd of December 1990. We have a son and a daughter. As a father, it prides me that they both graduated magna-cum laude, B.S. Architecture and B. S. Interior Design, respectively. Now I got your attention!
Through the years, I’ve learned that Biblical principles work. It likewise states to “go make disciples.” In doing so, I’ve learned that it helps me grow as I navigate life walking side-by-side with people. And that their growth is my joy. At my ripe age, I’ve practically swung the entire spectrum, left to right, with many ups and downs, and continue to have lots of heavenly questions as I go through the seasons. Nevertheless, only in hindsight can I say, God is infinitely good! READ MORE
