Go: Change a Campus, Change the World

Go 4


Change a Campus, Change the World
By Daniel Carandang

For the past three blog entries, we have been discussing about sharing the Word and making disciples who will also make disciples in His name. 

We have also learned that if we have genuinely accepted Christ and made Him the Lord of our life, we become His disciples. And as His disciples, it is our job to reflect Him to our fellowmen and to help them also become a disciple of Christ.

Our mission has always been this: Honor God and make disciples.

Easy to say. Difficult to do.

There are always those times that we find ourselves hurt and discouraged. 

Christianity does not conform to this world. Since that's the case, as followers of Christ, we dare to be different and this difference causes the people around who do not understand to persecute us. We have classmates who just wouldn't listen and love to make fun of us. Studies that can be overwhelming and pressuring at the same time. Our own personal struggles that can get the best of us and make us feel unworthy of the cause.

There are also those moments when we are afraid to dare and to go.

Some of us have family members who just don't understand our love and passion. They persecute us, our own family at that. When we try to establish a campus ministry in our schools, we find ourselves facing the judgmental eyes of teachers and school officials. 

Satan uses such to prevent us from fulfilling the job God had laid for us. He wants us to be discouraged, to give up on obeying the Big Guy and just be one with this world. 

There was once someone who was just like us: he was young and he was definitely called for the cause. He had a mentor named Paul. This boy's name was Timothy. Timothy was a disciple of Paul who was a disciple of Christ. It was foreseen that he would also lead others to Christ. Preparing him for such responsibility, Paul exhorted Timothy the following: 

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
2 Timothy 2:1-2

The Apostle Paul wrote the letter of 2 Timothy to his disciple, Timothy (hence, the name of the letter). During this time, Paul was in prison and was nearing his death. Should his death come, Timothy would be left with the mission. Now, why Timothy?

Timothy was with Paul when he journeyed through Asia. They were basically very close to each other. Timothy looked up to Paul, for he was the young lad's mentor. Paul on the other hand, knew that the boy had potential, he had what it takes to become a fisher of men.

When Paul left Ephesus, he left Timothy there in order to continue the work. If Timothy were given the choice, he would leave with Paul. Paul aimed to encourage Timothy with this letter. Truth be told, the young lad had the choice to be discouraged. Left in a city he didn't life without his mentor, life could've been hard for him. He did shed tears when Paul left (chapter 1, verse 4). In verse 6-7, Paul reminds Timothy to re-ignite and rekindle, to fan into flame the gift of God bestowed upon him. He told his young ward to not be ashamed of him, Paul and of the Gospel. 

As you read the entire letter, you will notice that Paul was really concerned for Timothy. This may be due to various reasons but one probable reason was because the persecution during that time was high. The other Jews didn't have a care in the world with what the Christians said. They were looked down on and mocked. Timothy could've been very discouraged.

Like Timothy, as disciples of Christ, we have also had our share of discouraging encounters. We are often tempted to give up...because sometimes, we think it's not worth it at all.

Here are two things we have to remember in order to continue the work of Christ, despite the persecutions and the trials:

I. Be strengthened in the grace that is Jesus Christ

"You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus...."

Depend on God's grace. In His grace we will find spiritual blessing and strengthening. With the tremendous pressure and trials he will face, Timothy was given this first task because it is an extremely important one. 

We need to depend on God's grace, not just in the ministry, but in every aspect of our lives. We need His grace in our family life, school life and even in our love lives! 

The truth is we are humanly weak. Without the grace of God, we can't make it through the night. We all often fall into temptation, experience depression and unworthiness, the feeling that we lack something. We easily conform to the ways of this world, do what the others do just to fit in. 

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
John 15:5-6

Prayer and quiet time should be your top priority. You might think it's lame and boring but prayer and QTs are actually one of the mind blowing moments Christians have. During such times, God reveals Himself and we become closer to Him. 

Many times, God will allow trials to weaken us. In such way, He makes us realize that we are weak on our own and that we need Him for strength. He does such to prevent us from becoming overconfident in ourselves.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10

How's your quiet time? How is your relationship with God?

If we do not depend on God, eventually, we will become weary. We will burn out and give up :(

II. Make disciples who will make disciples

 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

The verse shows us how discipleship works. 

This about being a steward in Christ by leading others and teaching them how to lead others in the future. Qualify the people you place in your life, not just a mater of favoritism, but based on faithfulness. You can teach others how to become a follower of Christ. Take time to initially pinpoint potential leaders who are faithful and are able to teach others.

Today, people are dying in their sins. They are being deceived by the lies of Satan, making them fall into pits of sin. There is no government entity, NGOs, seminars or self-help books that can produce radical life transformation in the people- only a genuine relationship with God can do such things.

You are placed in your campus for a purpose. Half (or even more than half)of the Philippine population is composed of the youth. In spite the magnitude of the work, God can still use you to create a large impact on your families or campuses. No matter what your past is, He can still use you.

A pastor once said that if you can change the campus, you can change the world.

Be strong in the grace of God and GO!

Change the world, one student at a time.

Go: Be a Committed Disciple Who Makes Disciples

Go 3


Be A Committed Disciple Who Makes Disciples
By Marty Ocaya

Do you believe that God uses ordinary people ALL the time?

Can you imagine God using a simple and poor fisherman to share the Word? A skinny weakling to become a warrior in His spiritual battle? A sinner to testify His unconditional love?

YES, God does use ordinary people ALL the time.

Many of our favourite Bible characters were mere nothings before God used them for greater purpose. Moses was just Moses. Noah was just Noah. Paul was just Paul.

But God revealed His power in them.

You may ask yourself: “How on earth can God use a nobody like me?”

Let’s face it: you can’t split seas in half. Neither can you build an ark in a hundred years.

So... how?

As a Christian, we are known to be disciples of Christ. Yeah, disciples. Just like John, James, Peter and the other members of Jesus’ Twelve. When you are dubbed as a disciple, it means that you are learning from someone, following their ways just like the Twelve.

What are the traits of a follower of Christ?

God blesses those who realize their need for Him,
For the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them
Matthew 5:1

A disciple realizes that he needs God. He acknowledges the fact that he cannot survive on his own; that God is the only one he needs in this life. We don’t need the material things this world offers in our face: God should be enough.

God blesses those who are gentle and lowly,
For the whole earth belongs to them
Matthew 5:5

Those who are gentle exemplify humility in Christ. Rather than tell your classmate off harshly because you think your plan is better, it is more ideal if we react gently, out of humility.

God blesses those who are merciful,
For they will be shown mercy
Matthew 5:7

In relation to humility, a disciple of Christ is merciful, willing to forgive those who had wronged him. If you are a follower of Christ, you must follow His example of mercifulness. Christ forgave those who wronged Him and even chose to die for them. A disciple of Christ will also be merciful to those who committed wrongs against him, out of humility.

God blesses you when you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers.
Matthew 5:11

Wait, pause for a moment.

Mocked?

Persecuted?

This world is not in synced with the ways of God. Instead, it chooses to rebel, to go against His ways. Since we are in the world, we are expected to conform. When our friends tell us to join their drinking splurges, we feel this tug to go along, all because of our reputations, our want to belong. If we refuse them, they will laugh at us. If we tell our friends off for drinking or partying too much, they mock us and our faith, calling us goody two-shoes or killjoys.

If we are true disciples of Christ, we are surely going to be mocked for our belief. But God appreciates it when we stand for our faith, because He sees that we are genuinely in Him.

Let’s compare a life led by two factors: God and the World.

If your life is led by the World:

-          Proud (You’re on top of the world!)
-          Try to be happy (You’d do anything to achieve happiness)
-          Get what I want when I want it
-          Good but a little bit bad (The world loves mejo bad boys. Why not just be a bit bad on the side to be cool?)
-          You gotta have justice!
-          Selfish motives (no matter what it takes, you’d do everything to have it)
-          Power
-          Do what everybody is doing

The world is a complete mess. Everyone thinks for himself and not of others. We just want pleasure and we’ll do anything to achieve that pleasure. Eat, drink, have sex and be merry cause you’re going to die tomorrow!

How many lives have been destroyed by the lies of this world?

However, if you choose to let God lead your life:

-          Poor in spirit (Humble; you acknowledge the fact that you are nothing in God’s presence)
-          Broken before the Lord (You need Him, you know you do)
-          Gentleness
-          Righteousness
-          Merciful
-          Pure in HEART
-          Peacemaker
-          Insulted and persecuted for doing what is right

From the looks of it, not exactly someone who’d make a splash in the eyes of the World. But think of it this way: a person who lives in the ways of God is destined for greater and more fulfilling things.

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Matthew 5:13

SALT is a natural preservative. That is why most of our favourite processed foods contain high sodium contents due to the high salt content!

Jesus wants us to be like salt. Not like the literal salt, but in such a way that we show those who are still lost what Christianity is about and in turn, they are opened to the Truth, given the choice to follow, and therefore, preserved in Christ.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:14

We are the light of the world. God has placed you where you are for a purpose. He placed you in your campus, in your circle of friends, in your family because He has a strategic mission for you: to become a light in their eyes.

How can you become a light?

1.       Show the way!
Show them what it means! Your family and friends may still not understand, therefore, they need your help. Don’t be fearful in sharing to them. How can they know the truth if no one points them the way towards it? As verse 16 says: In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
2.      Share the way!
Don't stop sharing! A lot of people still need to hear the Good News and you could be the one chosen 
to deliver it to them. Share because you care!

A disciple of Christ is willing to do anything for his Lord’s sake. SHARING is one of them. As a follower of Jesus, we should be willing to catch fish for Him, future disciples who will also share about Him in time.

GO AND SHARE!

Go:Sharing The Gospel

Go 2

Go: Sharing the Gospel
By Daniel Carandang

The movie Titanic is no doubt top-grosser material.  Jack and Rose were the ultimate power couple, with Jack’s swooning charm and Rose’s spunky attitude. The film serves as the home of a number of memorable scenes we often love to quote. Rose and Jack’s moment at the edge of the boat is an absolute heart-stopper but of course, the sinking of the ship also makes it to the list.

It’s a heart-wrenching sight: watching the people fall to their deaths, the waves of sea water engulfing them, ending lives at an instant. But probably the most heart-breaking scene would be that of Jack and Rose’s final moments together. Jack desperately clinging unto the big scrap of metal where Rose lays, both of them freezing from the cold. We all know how that ended.

Rose eventually lets go Jack as he sinks to the bottom of the sea. She lies there, in the middle of the sea filled with dead people.

You too are in a sea of dead people.

Spiritually dead people.

When we say spiritually dead, we mean that they are yet ignorant to the Truth that shall set them free. They are still bound to the ways of this world, unable to escape the ways of the enemy.

Sure, that sea is filled with strangers but people you know (or even love the most) may be stuck, bopping up and down in that sea. Classmates who remain clueless about Jesus and His saving grace. Family members who do not know that they are sinners who have offended the God of the universe.

When we see people drowning, the first things we automatically look for are lifesavers or lifejackets to rescue those who are in the water.

But how about those in the sea of spiritual death?

What is their lifesaver?

THE GOSPEL.

Sadly, though we would eagerly throw a lifejacket to people who are actually drowning, we don’t feel the same urgency to share people the gospel as they swim towards spiritual deadness.

The Gospel is the answer to their freedom. But us who know better are very hesitant to let them know about it.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[a] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
Romans 1:16-17

The Gospel is not a stage 1 or an entry level to being a Christian. It’s not a simple doorway or the ABCs of Christianity.

The Gospel is the A to Z manual of a Christian.

It’s no secret that man’s status with God when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God switched to FRIENDSHIP OVER mode. We are separated from Him because He cannot stand sin due to His perfectness. We were doomed to rot in hell.

The Gospel serves as the good news of God’s remedy to such. It tells of how He chose to sacrifice His Son for the sake of people who are ungrateful and undeserving.

Paul said in the verse that WE SHOULD NOT BE ASHAMED. If we are ashamed of the Gospel, it means that we do not understand the beauty of it, the need to share it.

In fact, he was the living proof of the Gospel’s changing power. From being a persecutor of the Christians, Paul encountered Jesus and his life turned a hundred and eighty degrees. As he shared in Romans 1:14-15, he knew that sharing was not a choice- it is an OBLIGATION and he is very eager to carry out the responsibility.

Great experiences are meant to be shared.

Whenever we have out of town trips or once in a lifetime adventures such as zip lines and mountain climbing, we can’t wait to post it online or tweet about it.

Being changed by the Gospel is also an experience we have to be eager to share with others. It has power we do not understand but can definitely save those who are called.

Unfortunately, we are ridiculed and persecuted when we do so. But that doesn’t mean we should stop or be discouraged!

If you seek genuine transformation for your family and friends, you can never find it in seminars, coaching, lessons, etc. The GOSPEL is the answer to genuine change.

This Good News tells us how God makes us right in His sight. This is accomplished from start to finish  by faith. As Scripture say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
Romans 1:17

The Gospel informs us how to create a right standing with God. Since we were separated from God, man thought that he could save himself by doing good works and religious rituals. He is ignorant to the fact that we cannot save ourselves.

We can only achieve the righteousness we are after by faith.

The Gospel is the only one that can deliver genuine transformation.

It is important that we share it.

You might say that FEAR is stopping you from doing so. You think that you are unworthy to share the Word or that you might be ridiculed for doing so.

In John 4, Jesus reveals Himself to a Samaritan Woman. The woman was already despised by the Jews for her standing as a Samaritan. It was also no secret to Jesus that she was no longer sexually pure, having had five partners and none of them were her husband. She was what we can call ‘someone very unworthy.’ She was dirty and probably unwanted.

But once she experienced Jesus, instead of becoming fearful of what the people would say, we find out in verse 28 that she actually ran back to the village, eager to share what she had encountered.

In verses 39-42, she comes back, not with one, but with the majority of the Samaritan population of the village. In the end, because of her eagerness to share, lives were changed and souls were saved.

Would you like the courage of the Samaritan woman?

Step up and share!


There’s a sea of helpless souls out there and some of them are people that we actually love. We have to step out of our comfort zones, swallows our fears and share to them the wonderful message of God.

Go: Leave Your Dark Past and Follow Jesus At Last!

Go 1



Leave Your Dark Past and Follow Jesus At Last!
By Andy Borero


Every person has his own story.

Just take a look at someone’s Facebook page and sure enough, you’ll find yourself staring at sneak peeks of that person’s life.

All of us have our own story to share. Admittedly, we love to chatter when the subject is about us. Our favourite food...our favourite movie...our opinion on this and that. We love to share stories about ourselves.

But, in all honesty, we don’t share EVERYTHING about us.

Who would want to broadcast their share of shameful dark pasts?

A character in the Bible had his story to share.

In Mark 2:13-17, we find the story of a man named Levi.

Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee. A crowd came to Him and He started teaching them. As He walked along, he saw a tax collector, Levi, son of Alpheus, sitting in his office.
Mark 2:13-14a

Levi, before he was known as Matthew an apostle of Jesus, was a man living in the darkness of his sins. As mentioned in the verse above, he was a tax collector. During those times, tax collectors were Jews who worked for the Roman government. They were in charge of collecting the payment of their fellowmen to the government. However, tax collectors were known extortionists of money. They would add high interests, forcing their fellow Jews to pay more than they could earn.

Tax collectors were so corrupt that the Jews utterly despised them. They stole from their own people.

Levi was one of them. He was greedy. He wanted all the money he could grab, not caring of the fact that he was stepping over helpless Jews.

That was Levi’s dark past.

He was an evil, self-loving, corrupt tax collector.

But despite this, Jesus told him:

“Follow Me.”

All the while, Levi was in his tax collector’s booth.

Jesus action shows that God can us you no matter what your past is. You are called to do something.

However, let’s take note of the detail: Levi in his tax collector’s booth.

A dozen of excuses must’ve ran through his mind for a split second.

You might be experiencing the same thing too. You might hear the voice of God, calling out to you, impressing on your heart your purpose but you keep running away, throwing excuses. Well, the Bible has exposed excuses used by characters when they are called. But God actually used them, despite of who they were:

1.       The NOBODY

“I am nobody!”

In the book of 1 Samuel, there’s the story of Samuel looking for the next appointed King of Israel. He was lead by the Lord to a man named Jesse who had seven sons. Of course, Jesse presented the best of his sons, leaving out the youngest.

David was nobody special in the beginning. He was just your typical shepherd. Handsome, yes he was, but he wasn’t a soldier like his brothers. He was just a nobody.

Not until he is revealed to be the chosen King by God. The plain shepherd was apparently destined for great things. Little did he know that he would be the one to defeat the giant Goliath, the King would be loved by his people... a man after God’s own heart.

2.       The MURDERER

“I’m not much of a talker!”

Out of anger for seeing his people being mistreated by the Egyptians, Moses found his hands doused in blood once had murdered an Egyptian.

Moses never saw himself as a speaker to a nation, let alone to a crowd. He felt as if he didn’t deserve to, being a murderer and unworthy person he was. He had no confidence in his speaking abilities.

But the Lord said otherwise:

“Who gives a man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or dumb? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? It is I, the Lord. Now, go! I will help you to speak and I will tell you what to say.”
Exodus 4:11-12

God will qualify you. His calling is your only qualification and you can be assured that He will help you along the way.

3.       The PERSECUTOR

“I might be rejected!”

Paul was absolutely rejected at first. You can’t blame the Jews for hating him. Paul, who was then known as Saul, was the number one enemy of the Christians. He hunted them, killed them for their faith. His passion was finishing off the Christians.

However, when he encountered Jesus as written in Acts 9:5-6, Saul became Paul. His life was changed.

You can imagine the difficulty he had to face and making the people see that he was a different person. He might have been discouraged at first but he knew that God was on his side.

Same applies to us!

God will be with you every step of the way! He chooses us, not for who we are but for what we can be...all for His glory.

So how did Levi respond?

HE FOLLOWED.

When Jesus calls us, there should be no hesitations.

However, some of us are still stuck in our own tax collector booths. We sometimes just refuse to let them go.

We SIT because we love to stay where we are. We wallow in our bitterness towards our families, jealousy at our friends and anger at our enemies. We hold on to these vices that are actually killing us inside.

But, when we STAND, we make our decision to obey but it’s all in the head. Our mind is telling us to go but our feet are still planted on the ground. It’s all head and no work.

In order to fulfil this, we have to WALK, to make the decision and to actually do it!

The result?


In Levi’s case, as written in Mark 2:15, he became Matthew. Jesus came to his house and was able to minister, not only to Matthew, but also to his fellow tax collectors. Souls were saved that very night and Matthew began a  changed life in the Lord.

Leave your past and follow. The Lord can use  you, despite your dirty past, and allow you to create an impact all for His glory. Follow Him and you will be contagious to others!

You might think: “But I’m so filthy and dirty! That can’t be possible!”

Jesus did say in verse 17: “Healthy people don’t need a doctor-sick people do. I have come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good enough.”

Jesus is for you and me, not for the religious ones.

So stop fretting!

Listen to His calling, forget your dirty past and follow Jesus...at last!

UNITE! Be Part of the Movement!

UNITE!


Be Part of the Movement!
By Daniel Carandang

After 3 months of beaches, island hopping, 24 hours internet surfing and basically the usual R & R, the time has come for us to return to our second home.

Back to school, everybody!

School may not be the first place we want to be but we got to remember that we have roles to fulfill. One, it's being a student whose goal is to finish his/her studies on time! 

What's the other role, you ask?

Always remember that God has a purpose for everything. Therefore, He has a reason why He placed you in your school. That purpose is very special in a way but requires commitment and responsibility.

What is it?



35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Matthew 9:35-38

Jesus spoke in a lot of places. He spoke to a society filled with religious laws and rules the citizens must abide in order to find favor in God. The Pharisees were the religious leaders in town. They were respected for they were considered as scholars who memorized the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). They were the so-called 'Holy than thou' people.

But for in Jesus' eyes, they were hypocrites.

So, despite the fact that these Pharisees kept on insisting that the Chosen people were better off without him, Jesus continued to teach and spread the Word of His Father. He didn't just go- He taught and proclaimed, healed those who needed healing.

In Matthew 9:36, Jesus saw the crowds and felt compassion. To Him, they were sheep without a shepherd.

Now, sheep are cuddly and cute no doubt, but did you know that they are also the dumbest animals in the planet?

Sheep cannot take care of themselves. When they slip and fall down, they barely have the ability to rise on their own two feet. They are easily swayed and distracted. They were helpless and they could easily die if there was no one to guide them. 

Jesus saw the condition of the people.

They were empty; starved of what mattered the most. They followed the 600 rules laid out for them in order to find God's favor but they still remain lost. The people were harassed by the lies created by the Pharisees. They got tired, exhausted from abiding in empty rules.

They weren't able to do things by themselves.

That is why Jesus went out to them. 

Have you ever felt helpless? Harassed?

But your iniquities have separated you 
from your God;
your sins have hidden His face
from you,
so that He will not hear

Isaiah 59:2

Our sins have separated us from God. We are helpless; enslaved to the chains of sin. We cannot save ourselves from eternal damnation nor can we even escape the clutches of temptation.

But God has His solution.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

God sent His son, Jesus, to die in our place. Our sins required payment we cannot pay on our own. God saw this and sacrificed His own Son to die for our sins. As we can read in Isaiah 53:5, Jesus was pierced for our transgressions so by His wounds, we are healed.

In Romans 6:23, it's obvious. Jesus is the only way to freedom. 

If we genuinely believe and accept Him, we are given the freedom found in Him.

So what about the role we were talking about in the first place?

Knowing about Christ, we are to respond in two ways:

Numero uno would be to pray at ALL TIMES. Pray that God will reveal to you His purpose, that you will understand what He wants you to do. Pray that you will live a life dedicated to Him alone.

Second thing would be to DISCIPLE.

As Jesus said in verse 37, the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. Many of our classmates are missing out on the biggest matter of life because they are distracted by the Enemy. As the school term begins, we have the choice to fulfill the second response in our schools. It's never too late to share the gospel to your school friends and pray that the seed you have planted will grow.

God's movement requires great courage and determination to proclaim His name. Persecutions are expected, especially in school where everyone tries so hard to fit in. Your classmates may laugh when you try to expose them to the truth, but if God moves in them, you might as well give it a try!

Jesus wants us to help our classmates also see the light. They too are like sheep without shepherd. 

Seek guidance from the Lord when starting a movement in your campus! It will consume time but it will be well-spent for it is done for HIS glory!

This school year, 

WILL YOU BE A PART OF HIS MOVEMENT?

Step UP! :>
