If you are using email in your daily life either at work or for personal use, most likely you’ve been receiving unsolicited mails commonly known as “spam”. Would you believe I’m receiving an average of 30 unsolicited emails a day, about 40% of my total daily emails. In my Yahoo Mail account (which I use as a backup or a “dump” mail account), it’s even worst! There’re a lot of organizations that exist to combat spammers. One of them is CAUCE. You may want to check them out.

For those who have been following the up-coming debate between an Iglesia ni Cristo (INC 1914) minister and Mr. Patrick Kelly of the church of Christ (not Witness Lee’s group as confirmed by Justyn M. of the Bereans Apologetics and Research Ministry), this introduction is worth a read.

A friend in theBereans forum shared a very intereting link. Links Exposing Iglesia Ni Cristo Try reading, especially to my INC visitors here, and you will surely find it worth reading.
It started with a conversation between a “Local Church” member (Witness Lee’s group?) and an INC minister.
Then an invitation for a debate was sent by the LC member. When the INC minister replied, it was very interesting to note that he sorted to personal attacks, boasting about his knowledge in Greek and Hebrew, his degree in Harvard, etc. I really don’t know why the minister talked that way. Is it a common thing among INC ministers? Just asking.
Anyway, the LC member, well mannered man I suppose, answered back with a very nice presentation of his analysis to the letter of the INC minister. He reitererated his invitation for a debate. He also sent the minister a list of questions he needs to answer.
They sent the rules for the debate (as requested by the INC minister himself). It was received by the INC administration June 6, 2002 and up until now, there was no response :)
Could it be that the INC “chickened out” (INC minister’s term)?
Umatras? Basahin po.

We just had a wonderful time praising the Lord at Christ’s Commission Fellowship’s (CCF) 18th anniversary evangelistic praise and worship at the ULTRA. Once more, I’m amazed on how the Lord moved this local Christian church in the past and at present. There was about 10,000 people attended the celebration. The praise and worship, the music and message rocks! (.. for the center was the “Rock”). A lot of people has been blessed, I even saw visitors accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior right there and then. Glory to God!

My Joy is a “book worm”. She loves books. One of the books that she recently bought is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It caught my interest because a play (or musical?) is on-going at the Shangri-la.
I know it’s a children’s fairy tale book! :) But C.S. Lewis, one of the best Christian authors of our time, who wrote the seven-volume “Chronicles of Narnia” in which this volume is the most popular in the series, wrote it in a way the even adults will surely enjoy.
This weekend, I had a priveledge of reading the entire book. It was awesome! The best thing is that it was written as an alegory of the gospel in the form of children fairy tale. Well, the gospel is so simple that even a 5 year old kid can understand. Try it out! Sure you’ll have fun. Oh but, I don’t want to spoil the fun, but as you read, think of Edmund as yourself and Aslan the Lion as Jesus, will yah? :)
