In this Life, We've been blessed to be a blessing.

 Joy and overflowing grace are what I'm feeling right now.  I want to testify how generous and caring God is. It all began when I ask God to help me with everything I need. In particular, I ask God to help me in my studies. With Faith, I have received what I ask for in prayer. In my past experiences, I had applied for a scholarship many times and I did not get anything. At present, opportunities are gradually opening to me now. I have received educational assistance that is more than enough to support my study- God provides. 

Today, our deaconess' song choice for Sunday Service is '' Blessed to be a blessing". Truthfully, we've been blessed to be a blessing. Everything that we have comes from above. All are from God. As we receive something, let thanksgiving be our first thing to do. The moment that I acknowledge God for what I have received, I have learned about giving back and sharing. As I said, God gives more than enough; it's overflowing. The joy that I am feeling right now comes from sharing God's blessing with others. I believe that what I am receiving is from God, and knowing that, I cannot see myself as the giver of what I had shared with others. Only I see myself as a channel of God's blessings to others. And I give all the honor, praise, and glory to God.
Hallelujah. Amen.

Cultural Diversity and Inclusiveness: HMC Student Deaconesses and Home Missioners and their Dormitory Life and Training

By
  “We might appear as opposites, but we are not opposed. We might appear to be different, but we are not separate”. This remark by author and poet Brian Thompson aptly captures our lives as Harris Memorial College students. We come from different parts of the Philippines, grew up in various cultures, and are now striving to live together in a dormitory while studying. But is it really possible to live together amidst differences while carrying the culture that we grew up with?                           Most students are to be deaconesses and home missioners. They are lay people who have had professional training and have been moved by the Holy Spirit to dedicate their life to serving others in a way that reflects Christ under the direction of the church (Paragraph 1913. 2, United Methodist Church Book of Discipline). Future deaconesses and home missionaries are ...

Christmas Sermon

By
    Luke 2:8-20 The Shepherds and the Angels             “Joy to the world, the Lord is come!   Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing”. This song was written in 1719 by Isaac Watts, but the message of the song happened more than 2000 years ago. The Christmas season comes every year. But, due to its annual celebration, can you still sing Joy to the World like you never sung it before or can you still continue to prepare your heart and keep singing this joyful song of praise? Luke 2:8-20 made us see how good news was revealed to the Shepherds by the Angel and how the Angels and the Shepherds received this news. Joy to the World ,  the Lord is Come.   The shepherds received a message from an angel. At first, the shepherds were terrified because the glory of the Lord shone around them...
