Condolences to the Arbolario Family

We would like to express our deepest sympathies on the recent passing of our brother in Christ, Ernie Arbolario. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family, Lidj, Miggy, Jeremy & Anna.

As one of the pioneers of BCCB way back when the congregation was just around 20, Brother Ernie stands as one of our most honorable pillar in this ministry – a mentor, a wise counselor, a man who pursues excellence, a good friend and one who has a remarkable sense of humor!

We will miss you, Brother/Tito Ernie.

We would like to honor him by posting his last sermon video from two weeks ago, Nov. 16, 2008, “Cultivating Contentment”

He passed away yesterday morning, November 23, 2008. The wake is at the Main Hall of Ikthus Center. Interment is on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at Bacolod Memorial Park after the 2:00pm Necrological Service at Ikthus Center.

God is Sovereign

Everyday we are confronted with difficult situations that we know don’t have easy answers. We are told that despite of the reality we see around us , God is in control, that God’s reasons for allowing these ugly things are beyond us and that we need to just believe and trust God.

Yes, we know that these answers are all true yet they do not always ease the pain of our hearts. But we need to learn as difficult as it may be to accept that God is sovereign. He doesn’t need to explain to us why He  allowed such a thing to happen. He has the right to everything. He owes us nothing.

Yet, His love for us is perfect! His grace and love are because of His Son Jesus who died on the cross and rose again for our sins. It is because of Jesus and only because of Jesus! It is not that we deserve it; it is not of who we are but because of who He is.

According to Thomas A Vaughn in his book, Spiritual Seasons, “God is the controller of all things, and we are to live our lives in the recognition that He has a specific time, plan and purpose for every one of our life experiences and accomplishments.”

When things get real tough this week, just hang on tight! God is sovereign! He is worthy of our trust and He will never let us down. Have a blessed week ahead of you!

Isaiah 46:10, “Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, My purpose will be established, and I willaccomplish all My good pleasure;”
