God Is Love
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but […]
Heart Issue
Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. 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 […]
Blessed Are the Forgiven
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.1 At the right time2 Jesus came to bring good news3—what God had planned since the beginning, a new covenant revealed through Jesus, a new […]
Now I Know
And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.1 Knowledge of God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son is prerequisite to salvation. One cannot claim salvation apart from the Son, whom the Father loves—This is my beloved Son with whom I am […]
God’s Handiwork
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.1 Definitely, there is an intelligent being that created the universe. Consider the grandiosity and complexity of the cosmos—visually, we merely see the sun, the moon, the planets, the stars; […]
God’s People
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but […]
Confidence
Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.1 God is pleased with our […]
Teach Me to Do Your Will
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground! For your name’s sake, O LORD preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!1 David knew his God, the one God2; thus, he was confident that if he asked anything that […]
For To Us A Child Is Born
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; . . .1 A merry Christmas to everyone! Jesus is the reason why we celebrate Christmas. The merriment is born out of gratitude and awe as we reflect on the love of God. [God] desires all people to be saved and come […]
Our Lord Is Above All
Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD, who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God! Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant! For the LORD has chosen Jacob […]
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
