Lessons to Think About: Remaining Strong in Faith
Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008
The following lesson was prepared by Rolly Tolentino.
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in me and I
in him, will produce abundantly, for apart from me you can do nothing." - John 15:5
All plants and trees require sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil in
order to grow. This is also true with regards to our spiritual life – our growth
will depend on whether we are getting our spiritual drink from the Source of Life
– Jesus. So even in the times of drought or times of testing, we still remain
strong in our faith in God.
It is our responsibility as believers to spend time with our Creator in prayer,
in reading His words through the Bible, through communion with fellow believers
and through service. If we dwell with Him, we will eventually bear the fruits
of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. The extent of our fruitfulness is directly related
to our faithfulness. If we are faithful to Him and His works, He will allow us to
grow abundantly, full of blessings and graces.
I have been serving God for more than 26 years now, but still God keeps pruning
away my pride and sinful habits that hinders my walk with Him. I made the
decision to change and offered my self to God constantly. He reminds us that apart
from Him we can do nothing - which is another way of saying that with Him we can do
all things.
I encourage everyone to make a decision to abide in God so that together, we
will grow in our walk with the Lord.

CMPC Christmas Party 2007 Pictures
Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2008
Pictures taken from the 2007 Christmas party are now available for viewing in
the pictures section. Due to the sizeable number of pictures
added, the pictures section has been divided into seven pages, all of which can be
accessed via the main pictures page.
Please note that, as a result of bandwidth limitations, most of these pictures will
only be available on the site until February 8, 2008. A select few pictures will remain on
the site, while the rest will be archived. Once the aforementioned date has passed, you
may request to view any archived pictures by contacting
the webmaster.
Update (February 9, 2008): After some consideration, it has been
decided that the pictures will be kept available on the site for an extended period of
time. In the event that a decision to remove and archive the pictures is made (in the
future), an announcement will be posted on the homepage before the pictures are actually
removed.
