Jeremiah 3:15

15 “‘And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

24/01/2026

Today, I glorify God for sustaining me and giving me the privilege of reaching five years in His ministry.

Hindi po ito naging madali. There were days when I was judged, misunderstood, and even ridiculed, moments when I questioned myself, moments when I wondered if my efforts were enough. Even with intentions rooted in God’s Word, there were still harsh and hostile responses that pierced my heart deeper than I expected.

May mga pagkakataon din, that I celebrated victories quietly because no one else saw them. And there were nights when I cried in silence, carrying burdens I couldn’t explain.

But in every unseen moment, sa bawat luha, every sigh, every whispered prayer, God was there. It is God alone who held me together when I felt like falling apart. He sends the right people to encourage me and help me remember the joy of being in Christ.

And yet, despite the weight of ministry, there is no greater joy than witnessing God’s Word transform lives. To see hearts soften, families restored, faith awakened, these are the moments that remind me why this calling, though unglamorous and often unnoticed, is worth every sacrifice.

Being in God’s ministry is beautiful, but it is also dangerous. It exposes your heart, humbles your pride, and pushes you to depend on God more deeply than ever before. It breaks you… But it also builds you.

Sa loob ng limang taon na nakalipas, my testimony is simple and overflowing with gratitude.

God sustains. God strengthens. God is faithful.

Soli Deo Gloria!

I’m deeply honored to have shared God’s Word during Christus Church of God’s 1st anniversary celebration. Thank you for the warm welcome and for the spirit of worship that filled the day—it was truly inspiring!

It was also a special joy to reconnect with my college classmate, Vlad, now faithfully serving as a Deacon at SCCG. What a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness through the years!

I had the privilege of preaching on the theme “Jesus, the Center of Our All” from Colossians 1:16–18. My heart was stirred as we were reminded that everything must have Christ at the center.

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” — Psalm 150:6

Praying for continued growth, grace, and blessing as you shine His light in the community.

In Christ,

Happy New Year, mga kapatid!

As we step into 2026, we carry both hopes and fears in our hearts. But let us be reminded of God’s powerful promise in Deuteronomy 31:6:

"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

This year may bring challenges in health, finances, work, studies, relationships, and the unknown future. Yet, true courage does not come from denying fear; it comes from trusting God’s presence even in the midst of fear.

My encouragement to all of you for 2026:
• Fear is real, but faith means obeying God even when fear is present.
• Courage is possible because God Himself goes with us.
• We can face tomorrow with confidence, for He has promised: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

As we welcome 2026, let us go through it not in our own strength, but in the assurance that Immanuel, God with us, remains faithful not because we are but because He is.

May this year be filled with courage, peace, and hope as we journey together with our Lord.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Satan is the accuser of the brethren. Satan is your accuser. Every mistake you've made in the past, alam niya po ito, and he keeps on reminding you about them.

You can know if he is successful with the way you respond. Kapag ang response mo po ay paglayo sa Panginoon, because you think that God will not be able to forgive you anymore.

Dahil sa paglayo mo sa Panginoon, you end up na lumalayo na din sa fellowship. Satan is successful in convicting you of your sin that you are distancing yourself from the brethren. Jesus bought the church with His blood and we must reflect our unity as One Body in Christ. This is how the world will know that we are of Christ: our genuine love for one another. Love entails being present. Church is essential.

Kapatid, the antidote to guilt is by Trusting God Completely. Trust what He said in 1 John 1:9 - "Subalit kung ipinapahayag natin ang ating mga kasalanan, patatawarin tayo ng Diyos sa mga ito, at lilinisin tayo sa lahat ng ating kasalanan, sapagkat siya'y tapat at matuwid."

As I close, I'd like you to imagine this scenario. Satan accuses you of your sins in front of God, tapos may quote pa cya from the Holy Bible, "the wages of sin is death". This person must die dahil sa kasalanan nya. But then, God, the righteous judge, will tell Satan this, "The judgment has been done, death has already occurred. Dahil ang taong ito ay namatay na kay Kristo" (Galatians 2:20).

Kapatid, DO NOT let your sins in the past keep you from God or keep you from being with the body of Christ.

Have a good and godly day!

In Christ,
Pastor Macquil

The Christian life will grow best, flower most beautifully, when nourished in the greenhouse of this accountability fellowship. That is why our Christianity should be congregationally shaped.

Discipleship to Christ involves submitting ourselves to his Word and his people.

My sons, Phoenix and Aspen, saw a black-and-white photo of Charlie Kirk and asked me why the photo’s color was like that. Did he die? They asked. They usually watch his videos with me, especially when Charlie talks about the Gospel. I will always emphasize how Jesus is the ONLY hope we all have.

Explaining to them how Charlie died was really challenging for me. As I was explaining it to them, I was praying earnestly from my heart. By God’s grace, I was able to share with them one valuable lesson:

“We must stand on the truth of God’s word and share it with others, no matter how unpopular it may be. God so loved the world, and we must let the world know of this love. Without Christ, there is no hope for anyone. If in our obedience, if in our service to Christ, others would do us harm, we must never forget that it would be a great honor and privilege to lay down our lives for the one who gave us His life so we can live again with Him for all of eternity.”

As I told my kids about that lesson, a thought came to mind. If by any chance someone will hold me at gunpoint and will ask me to stop sharing Christ with others, or else I will die. By God’s grace, with a smile on my face, I will gladly welcome death because, like what Apostle Paul said, for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Onward, Christian soldiers!

Soli Deo Gloria!

As Christians, how do we respond to persecution and loss?

Today, my heart is heavy as we mourn the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, our brother in Christ, who boldly proclaimed the truth no matter what the cost. Such evil reminds us of the darkness in this world apart from God.

But as followers of Jesus, we are not called to respond with anger or vengeance. Instead, we look to Christ, who told us: “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” (John 15:18)

Charlie’s death should NOT silence us; it should strengthen us. Like the Apostle Paul, may we also say: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21)

✝️ Fellow Pastors: Let us unite and set aside our differences and focus on the main thing, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now is the time to lead with boldness and make disciples.

✝️ Fellow Christians: Let us not hide our light. In this dark world, may the love of Christ shine through us. Even if it costs us our lives, oh what a privilege—to suffer or even die for the sake of the gospel, for the glory of God.

Yes, persecution is real. Yes, it is scary. But Christ has already conquered sin and death. Let us be faithful, united, and bold in proclaiming the good news of Jesus, making disciples until the very end.

Let us continue to pray for our brother's family. May the God of peace be upon them, and may we all look forward to the day when we will all see each other again.

"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” – Revelation 2:10

Soli Deo Gloria!

True unity is not uniformity—it’s harmony in the Spirit. Like an orchestra with different instruments, the church plays one song under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Text: Philippians 2:2

Let’s strive to live with one mind and one love in Christ!

02/09/2025

We must keep our focus on Jesus so that when facing life's ups and downs, we can remain in Him. He’s truly our anchor and source of strength and guidance.
