Have you discovered the PURPOSE God has for YOU? "You are here to KNOW Him and have LIFE in its FULLNESS" 1) 2) 3) 4)
Recognize that you are a SINNER and need a personal relationship with God. Never trust in what you can do to earn the gift of SALVATION Christ has for you. Come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and SUBMIT to all His ways. Ask for His grace for you to SERVE and follow and obey Him for the rest of your life.
Check these in the Bible if you are serious in wanting a relationship with God, thus fulfill the PURPOSE He has for you: Romans 3:23; 6:23; 10:9 and 13; Gospel of John 1:12 and 3:3 & 7; Gospel of Luke 14:26 & 27

DAY 1 — TRIXIE VIA TEXT PHONE: Hi there! Praises to our Lord Jesus. We are now in Cagayan about to take our good night rest. We had a great day which began with a stop over at Cebu City where we were accommodated by our His Life Cebu family - Rocky, Ian and Arnold who cooked tasty adobo for our lunch. We proceeded to Ayala para mag suroy-suroy while Rocky and I (Trixie) had think tank together regarding CAMP topics and His Life Cebu's next series. We went back to Mactan airport for our CDO night flight. We arrived CDO safely where Jedah, Ian and Daisy (of His LIfe CDO) fetched us and brought us all to Paula's place (another His Life CDO member). We were welcomed again with a super delicious meal cooked by Paula's Papa. Next came our 1st meeting with the people of CDO - Cheng, Archet, Stephen, Paula, Daisy, John and Chris. It was a time of getting to know one another and asking questions regarding the status of His Life CDO family. Our hearts are inspired to know our His Life family here are pressing on with there commitment to Jesus despite of the 'odds'. I thank the Lord for Pastor Dantz and Pearls for there dedication in sowing the seeds on the church here. Their labor is not in vain.. Glory to JESUS!! We wish to thank all of you who supported our mission trip here. Your investment is for eternity. Please keep on praying for us; good health, as some of us are having cough and colds discomfort, provision for the encounter weekend we are planning, God's guidance and favor in everything, fruitful evangelism and solid discipleship. God bless you and His Life CDO !! — Thank you JESUS! DAY 2 — Hello again from the City of Golden Friendships – Cagayan de Oro. Today is the second day of our missions exposure. Early in the morning Ian, Eeka and Allen went marketing for our food needs. We had breakfast in our place courtesy of our Chef Ian. We then met briefly for the Day’s itinerary. We all proceeded to the famous Limketkai Mall where we had lunch. Our team met after lunch in Café Alegre at their sky park. It was a meeting of reevaluating our schedule, jotting down the things we need to impart in our CDO family and assigning tasks for each group of two’s. Eeka and I went to check on possible rooms we can rent for our meetings. We found there air conditioned function room to be very affordable at 500 pesos per 3hours of use! Although it will still be available for us the following week because of long holiday ahead. We all went back to our place to take our rest. We were able to meet Malou and Rive who were also contacts of Pastor Dantz and Pearls. They visited us when they learned from Paula we were here. Praise God for Paula and Stephen who are contacting their other His Life contacts to encourage them to attend the ENCOUNTER we are planning to hold on April 11 and 12. Please pray that we will be able to find an appropriate venue for this and that our contacts will be able to attend. We thank the Lord for the other His Life sites who contributed a total of 5,000 pesos for the encounter. Going back to our day happenings, Ian, Allen and Eeka prepared dinner for us. Eeka cooked her unique ginisa na laswa. It was our first time to hear and taste such a thing, but it turned out good. Our dish washers are Jun, Renz and Greg. After the chores, the team excitedly went out again to have a Prayer Walk at Divisoria (the city’s plaza) while Trina and I (Trixie) stayed home since I was not feeling well since this am due to an itchy throat and joint aches. God is good! We’ll be having partial fasting day tomorrow and we’ll be finalizing things for the encounter by visiting some suggested places. I pray for God’s guidance and favor that we will be fruitful and successful in our search tomorrow. God bless you all and thanks for your prayers for the CDO missions team as well as for His Life family here. Alegre d ka-ayu sa Cagayan. Mayu unta maka adto sad mo diri, God willing. By His grace and for His glory. Amen!

Judge NOT
All is WELL From the Song, “I Will Rise”, There's a peace I've come to know; Though my heart and flesh may fail There's an anchor for my soul; I can say "It is well" Jesus has overcome; And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won; He is risen from the dead And I hear the voice of many angels sing, "Worthy is the Lamb" And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings; Before my God fall on my knees; And rise, I will rise Notice, that this song brings comfort to the hardest of times. There rings an idea of hope and confidence in what Jesus did. When even the last enemy called death is overwhelmed, what else could bring you more confidence? That’s the power of the resurrection of Jesus! We have a Savior and a God that has defeated death. If we are believers and followers of him, then we have victory over it as well in Him, in what He made us to be. He did make us alive, and even though all of us one day will say good-bye to our earthly bodies, we have the assurance and hope that we will rise when He calls our name. The last book of the bible, the book of Revelations is a book of conquest! He has won! He is worthy! He is in control. Jesus is ALIVE forevermore! Only an Amen and a breath of Hope can be its fruit. When you and I hear this promise from God’s Word, we immediately thank God that Jesus is alive. That Jesus is in control and that all our fears can be banished in His Name. That’s the reason why I have as a personal crusade to call people to be followers of Jesus. To call kids, the youth, men and women to come to follow Jesus.
He makes everything right. He makes everything “well with our souls”. This world could promise everything but still could leave us hanging. For Jesus it is just the opposite. When He declares something, it is good as final … in fact it is! He said, “he will die and rise again!” Well, he did! Will you trust your life today and eternity tomorrow to Jesus now? Pray … “God I surrender all to you. I turn away from sin. I repent. I believe you died for my sins and rose for me to live for you, Lord Jesus. In the midst of any conflict, fear or defeat, I can now declare “I will Arise”; “all is well with my soul”; “hallelujah”; “worthy is the Lamb”. Notice? The Resurrection of Jesus causes you and I to worship Him. When we do, worry is conquered, fear is halted, and faith has taken its place in our lives. All is well! - "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! [see Revelations 1:17, 18]
How many of you are married? How many of you here are happily married? Are you enjoying the people around you? The people you are working with? The people in your family? How about your spouse? Are you enjoying or are you enduring? Let’s change the question:
•
Do you think the people around you are enjoying you? Or are they just enduring you?
•
Do you want to enjoy the people around you? Do you people around you to enjoy you?
•
Do you believe God wants you to enjoy the people around you? I believe so yes. What does God want us to do for us to enjoy the people around us or for people to enjoy us?
NIV Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
One big idea: Don’t be judgmental! How do we know that we are not being judgmental on other people?
1. Reject hypocrisy Is pointing out the wrong in someone’s life and being unwilling to admit or consider it in your own life. Live to impress God rather than men.
2. Embrace Integrity You choose integrity when you see a fault in someone else and immediately look at yourself to see if there signs of the same fault in you. You recognize that the wrong you see in others might be an indication of a sin in your own life.
3. Extend mercy We live in a society that believes the opposite of judgment is tolerance. And tolerance is falsely define as accepting without opinion or comment whatever choices another makes. But Jesus told us that the alternative to judgment is not tolerance but MERCY. The alternative to being judgmental is not ignoring people’s faults but showing that Jesus has forgiven all our faults. Being biblically non judgmental does not mean we pretend we don’t see another person’s sin but it does mean we recognize that we all face the same temptations.
How do we live a non judgmental life? 1. Understand and trust God’s judgment 2. Receive & be refreshed by God’s mercy.
