Six months on from the declaration of a hung parliament in Iraq's election, there is still no new government.
Newsflash
We are together in spirit with all our brothers and sisters in the spiritual family around the world as we prepare to observe the third season of the Feasts of the LORD God - the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets (September 9, 2010), the Day of Atonement (September 18, 2010), the Feast of Tabernacles (September 23-29, 2010), the Eighth Day (September 30, 2010), and rejoice with great joy at the privilege of appearing before Him in the faithful congregation of the earth. For anyone who wants to join us in keeping these Feasts, from wherever you are, do come! We welcome you with thanksgiving and delight in sharing with you the blessings of Almighty Eternal GOD...
Is it really confusing? Should it be an excuse for not believing anything at all? There’s no way to be smug or dismissive about the prevailing belief systems in circulation today, whether ancient or ancient masquerading as new, as shown by the Interactive Bible Study last Sabbath, November 17. It can only be truly humbling, as the next question sure to follow is “Do we really do what we believe?”
If for six days, daily toil grabs bits and pieces of us, on the seventh day we remember in Whom we need to be one, how to be truly parts of the whole...
Thank You, Great God, for Your loving hand which brought us to keep Your Feast of Tabernacles 2007 together!... Hello, everyone! From the family cameras of the Hipes and the Peronas, here’s a film clip of random moments, (woven in WinMovieMaker, uploaded to YouTube). This is the first time we’re trying this module (Easytube 0.2 by Paul Bain for Joomla) out, so pardon the randomness, we realize it doesn't even begin to capture the wonder of being there at the Feast, but it’s just exciting that it finally works...

“Wala akong ibang naiisip, parang iisang thought lang, nandun yung force sa loob na nararamdaman ko na eto na, ngayon na, hindi na pwede patagalin, ni hindi ko naiisip si Arnold, mga tao sa paligid...” was how Mrs. Analiz Miguel described the period she went through before asking to be baptized. She had been a youth leader in the one of the country’s largest religious blocs, but she left that to build a family with Arnold John Miguel. Shortly after, in 1999, with their sons Earl and Seve, and with the example of Arnold’s father Servillano Miguel, they continued in fellowship with then Church of God (Fellowship Manila), she found what it was like to open the Bible and learn directly from it, learn about life from it, see her destiny with her own eyes from it, experience great trials and deliverance and healing and correction, share God's word with her family and neighbors, and still does.
And so, in the early morning of October 21, 2007, with our elders performing the rites under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine (in what was a week of forecasted storms), the old Analiz was buried in the waters of baptism, and the newly-begotten daughter arose to begin her journey into God...
Like baby pandas or koalas hidden or hanging around their parents’ knees--that’s how we’ve seen the Deboma brothers Stephen Matthew and Juan Miguel. But after singing at the Feast 2007 Interactive Bible Study, and reciting at the Feast 2007 Concert, the firstborn of Gilbert and Ann Deboma, has come out of his shell. Here is mom Ann’s exuberant mail after being nervous for days before that (expanded from SMS format):
“Hellooooo... Kumusta na kayong lahat.. Eto na po ang mga pics ni Stephen nung tumula siya nung Childrens Congress last October 19, fresh from the Feast. "Thank You Great Father in Heaven sa talent," sabi niya sa prayer niya, kaya yehey nakapag-perform siya ng maayos, kahit 100 pesos lang. Kasi 4 stanzas lang yung tinula niya na ang kailangan eh 6 stanzas, well anyway ang importante dun kung ano nga ba gagawin nya sa 100 pesos? Ang sabi niya "Lagay natin alkansya mama para sa Feast may offering kay Papa God.' Wow naman ang saya saya talaga, dun pa lang winner na. Thank You Thank You Loving Father...”

The very roots our Almighty Creator commanded us to honor so we could have the kind of long life worth having, are slipping from our grasp. The more we race for youth and longevity, the more the younger workforce is forced to toil 24/7, relegates our parents to functionaries, valued only for their economic utility, slaves [...]
In Scripture, covenant between humans involved assessment of each other, drafting an agreement with conditions that benefit both parties; obtaining critical support of forces necessary in order for a sovereign to establish rule of order; words of honor established with trustworthy persons especially when you can’t find them in your own family…

“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy…
What is it about this day, specifically prepared by the CREATOR for the physical and spiritual well-being of His creation, MAN, that we the beneficiaries IGNORE?
This episode shows how the written command itself shows the purpose of the Sabbath resistant to any man-made restriction, whether those who refuse [...]
Far from being confined to Egyptian history, or any tyrannical regime since, SLAVERY now takes all forms of material promises, to which participants willingly offer themselves, later wanting to break free, yet unable and even not wanting to break free, grasping it, seeing no other hope… How has the value of life sunk so low [...]
Did the LORD God intend earthquakes to bring calamitous grief? Contrary to the horrible destruction to man-made habitations, in Scripture, seven occurrences of earthquakes precede momentous healing and restorative events. The giving of the law, realization of the Son of God, His resurrection, among others. Listen to this episode to recognize how, despite the perils [...]
