To be in sin is like being stuck in a quicksand. If you try to get out of it, you only sink deeper. When you are stuck in sin, Christ is the only one who can pull you out of it to save you.

***Joy of Learning from God
You don't need to do any searches nor studying. Just open up your heart and listen like a kindergarten kid.
**Very Sad Sight
Looking at the world, you see so many people living as if God doesn't exist, hell doesn't exist, they are going to live forever, and there won't be any life after death if they die.
**Fact to Reckon With
That it is impossible for us to escape from the Lord God. Even if we become nonexistent, he still knows. (Personally, I am truly glad that he knows me well and that he watches over me, protects me from evil, and teaches and guide me, keeping me as the apple of his eye.)
**Our Golden Opportunity*
We all know that we are sinners and need salvation. If you realize that God has already paved the way for us to be saved by sacrificing his own Son on the cross in our place, then rejoice and accept Christ without reservation. This is truly a golden opportunity, the best God can possibly offer us. I beseech you not to be foolish and ignore it!
*****Die Once Only (A Warning)
Do you realize that we are all on our way to judgment? Each of us has two lives to live, but one or two deaths to undergo. The two lives are our life on earth and our afterlife. As for the death(s), those who are saved will experience only one death upon leaving the earth, but those who are not saved will die once more for all eternity.
**Part-Time Lord**
We Christians often live a double life—we behave like Christians at church on Sunday and are ourselves again until the following Sunday. That is, we put Christ in the back of our mind most of the time, making him a part-time Lord. This is far from being good, for he is to be the only one for us to live for every second of the day. I may sound harsh, but if he is not No. 1 in your life, the consequences will be a lot harsher.
***Why We Need Christ
Since we have inherited the original sin, we tend to sin. Then we are capable of doing good too, although sometimes that requires a bit of effort. If sinning is like sliding downhill, doing good is more like walking up a mild slope. What we need to do is to have Christ step in to liberate us from sin so that we'll be able to do good at all times. This ensures that we'll inherit the kingdom of heaven.

Christ Our Shining Example
Christ is the perfect shining example for us to follow. He carried out the will of the Father to the letter with the greatest humility, never complained and did not stop until the task is accomplished. Our tasks given by the Lord are nothing compared to what Christ had to perform. Let him inspire us to do what we are supposed to do in the same spirit to show that we are with him all the way. And we'll also be glorified by the Father in the end.
**Worse than Heart Disease
Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the whole world, so we all want to keep my heart healthy. Then a defiled heart is even worse, for it can kill you for all eternity. Know that sin is what defiles the heart. So let's keep our hearts pure and clean before we worry about any heart disease.
**Good Reminder and Advice*
We have only one short lifetime to learn what the Lord wants us to know—how to gain eternal life. So make good use of your time on earth.
**Irresistible Love
God's love is irresistible. Happy is the one who would let himself be totally crushed by this love.
***Love That Surpasses Knowledge
In today's first reading from Ephesians 3, Paul prays that his brothers and sisters will know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge so that they may be filled with all the fullness of God. God's love for us is indeed boundless. If we truly realize that, we would stop judging anyone and abandon ourselves completely to the Lord right away.

**A Great Joy Realized*
It is knowing that I can instantly communicate with my God directly at any time.
***Natural Consequences
The more you trust in Christ, the deeper he draws you in to him. The deeper you enter him, the more fulfilled and satisfied you feel. So trust leads to fulfillment and great satisfaction.
