I’m a 28 year old guy, married to a very beautiful and lovely woman for 5 years.  My family has always been a part of the church.  My dad used to pastor a church in the Philippines and I used to be a part of the music ministry. I’ve been living in the states for 14 years now and I have gone to many different churches.  Although I feel that until now, I have not really settled down and planted myself in a church that I can say I belong.  I know that part of it is my fault, but I do, however, feel that something is always missing.  In my opinion, American churches have become so lukewarm and so watered down, to the point that it’s hard to engage and be a part of a church that could be right in some areas, and not in other areas.  By all means, I am not looking for a perfect church.  As one of my former pastor in Philippines told me, “There is no such thing as a perfect church, but in case I find one and join them, it won’t be perfect anymore.”

My ultimate purpose is to seek the truth and I have found the truth in God’s word.  And I’m telling you right now, it’s not just the truth that God will bless me and prosper me in everything I do.  But the truth that I am a sinner destined to spend my eternity in hell and I need God’s mercy to save me from this terrible fate.  To know that God is holy, and He alone is able to justify my sins if I continuously repent.  He is my sole redeemer and the only way that I can have eternal life is through Jesus Christ. This is the truth that I have found, and this is the truth that I have to live by.   

Praise God for His love and His mercy.  He alone is worthy to receive all our praise and worship.
