THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Many of you did not Lyna in person, but you all had prayed for her when I mentioned her name in our intercessory prayer at church.  As you might remember, Lyna suffered a brain hemorrhage over two years ago.  For quite some time she was in a coma but by the grace [&...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Life is a journey; so is faith.  Some of us travelled smooth and straight by faith, some travelled rough and winding.  Some arrive quickly but some arrive late.  We do not always know, so it is best to leave it up to God and trust in His judgment.  John Ne...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Over a couple of months ago our neighbor approached me to tell me that his wife had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  He was devastated, to say the least.  While asking my prayer, he broke in tears.  Not long after he again came to break another the news...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER This past a couple of weeks has been a sad week for many Christians in America.  You, who keep yourselves abreast with the news, must have heard that a relatively young pastor of a mega church on the East coast has fallen into sin.  There are thousands who flock to ...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Today we celebrate our beloved church’s 40th anniversary.  We give thanks to God for His love and mercy upon our church, His Spiritual Body on earth.  We thank Him for protecting and blessing His church so much that through her, many have come to know His Saving G...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER I know, I know, you must be tired of hearing my talking about our grandchildren.  But allow me to indulge one more time, please.  The other day while Santy and I were at our daughter’s home, our two-year-old grandson, as usual, asked me to carry him around.  ...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER This week I received a special gift—a big kiss from our two-year-old grandson.  Out of the blue and without prompting he just landed that six-million-dollar kiss on my chubby cheek.  At that moment I felt like a six-million-dollar grandpa!  Even though he has...
