Greater Power (July 2021)
God's Surprising Power
July 25, 2021 • Bong Baylon
We've all been there. We come across a difficult situation and we try so hard to overcome it. But it becomes too difficult and eventually, out of frustration, we just give up. Difficult situations reveal our understanding (or misunderstanding) about the nature of God's power. Instead of giving up, we should move forward. But that requires a renewal of our minds concerning God's surprising power.
God's Saving Power

God's power is greater than our power. But how do we experience God's power? A lot of people, including Christians, do not recognize the availability of God's power in their lives if only they would believe God's promises. It's actually in their mouths and in their hearts -- it's the very Gospel itself! The Gospel is truly the saving power of God to those who believe. (Romans 1:16-17)
God's Greater Power
July 4, 2021 • Bong Baylon
Many people are not aware of the availability of God's power for those who believe. They are also unfamiliar with its nature. Consequently, many do not experience its reality in their lives. More often than not, they rely solely on their own power or the power of others, both of which are nothing compared to the power of God. Why is this so? Interestingly, it is because we don't understand the nature of our own power.
