The post Kung ang Diyos ang Tatay Mo appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

英雄不是指一個完美的人, 事實上很多英雄本身都有很多問題, 但他們能成英雄, 因為他們願意為理想, 為別人付出代價, 甚至犧牲生命, 成就了國家, 成就了別人, 成為了人心裡的英雄。我們沒有那麼偉大但作為父親的, 我們要成為家庭的英雄, 為神賜給我們的妻子與兒女付出代價; 在別人眼中我們不是什麼英雄, 但在家人的眼中, 我們要成為他們眼中的英雄。

Heroes may not be perfect, but they become heroes when they fight for their ideals and make sacrifices for others. This Father’s Day, join Rev. Jeremiah Cheung as he encourages every father to make sacrifices for the sake of their wives and children—and become the hero in the eyes of their family.

The post The Father Heart of God appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Paano mo ilalarawan ang Diyos? Siya ba ay malayo at walang pakialam? Magagalitin at bantay-sarado sa mga pagkakamali? Mataas at mahirap abutin? Sa mensahe ni Ptr. Mike Cariño, makikilala natin ang tunay na larawan ng Diyos dahil kay Hesus. Ang Diyos ay ang mapagmahal na Tatay na may pusong mapagbigay, mabuti, at maawain.

How will you describe God? Is He distant and out of touch? Temperamental and fault-finding? Too high-up and out of reach? In this message from Ptr. Mike Cariño, the true picture of God is revealed to us through Christ. He is a loving Father with a heart that is generous, good, and gracious.
