It All Starts Small
How often do we hear people say, “If I get this project or If I get this deal or If I win this case, I will give ten percent to the Church…” While this may be noble, the most important question is, has this person been giving to the Church? Why this question? If the…
God First
If there is one thing that Jesus always taught, it is about peace. He told his listeners if you’re going to make an offering and you and your brother are not on good terms, leave the offering first and settle with your brother first. He also said, instead of an eye for an eye, a…
Mary and the Priests
Luke 10:1-12 In these times, one would notice that the world has lost its moral compass. We do not know what is right and what is wrong. Even worse, the wrong is made right and the right is made wrong. Hence how important and urgent are the words in the Gospel: “The Harvest is Great…
God is Victorious
Matthew 17:1-9 When people find out that I am involved with the ministry of deliverance and exorcism the typical question – “Isn’t it scary?” This too was the very question I asked when they were asking me to help. The answer I got then, is the very answer that I too give after about 2…

I Prefer Heaven
Matthew 13:36-43 In medicine, they have a term known as NDE otherwise known as Near Death Experience. These are experiences of sick patients who have been flatlining for a while but eventually regain consciousness. Three things are typically experienced: They do not remember anything They were in a very nice peaceful place but were told…
Holistic Healing
One day, I anointed two elderly women. The first one, the son said, “please keep open your evening schedule for mommy’s masses. The doctor says she can go anytime. It has been a month already and she is still alive. No respiratory, no dialysis, no extraordinary measures”. The second one just came from a stent…
