Wrestling With God

“Your name will now be Israel, because you have wrestled with God and with people, and you have won.”
Genesis 32:28

The word Jabbok in Hebrew means “wrestle,” and wrestle is what Jacob did. He wrestled with his past; all the white lies, scheming, and scandalizing. He wrestled with his situation; a spider trapped in his own web of deceit and craftiness. But more than anything, he wrestled with God …

Jacob wrestled with God the entire night. On the banks of Jabbok he rolled in the mud of his mistakes. He met God face to face, sick of his past and in desperate need of a fresh start. And because Jacob wanted it so badly, God honored his determination. God gave him a new name and a new promise. But he also gave a wrenched hip as a reminder of that mysterious night at the river…

We too should unmask our stained hearts and grimy souls and be honest with the One who knows our most secret sins.

The result could be refreshing. We know it was for Jacob. After his encounter with God, Jacob was a new man.

Howie Day - Collide

The release of Stop All The World Now feels a lot like graduation day for singer, songwriter Howie Day.

“In a weird way I’ve come full circle,” says Howie Day. “After high school, I decided to skip college, but wound up spending a lot of time touring college campuses. Four years later, I’m releasing a new record instead of getting my degree.”

Death Note Anime Series

DEATH NOTE, how to use it:

• The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
• This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject’s face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
• If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject’s name, it will happen.
• If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
• After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

Buri Beach Resort, Puerto Galera

Since I had no vacation this summer of 2007, I decided to repost from my old blog my May 19-21, 2006 vacation. It was my second time in Puerto Galera but my first in Sabang. Prices might possibly changed in a year’s time but I guess the experience will still be the same. Enjoy!

Buri Beach Resort is the perfect hideaway for those seeking peace and tranquility. The resort overlooks the Batangas channel, away from the hustle and bustle of the major resort beaches, but within easy reach of all.

Captured Thoughts

“We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5

Capturing thoughts is serious business. It was for Jesus. Remember the thoughts that came his way courtesy of the mouth of Peter? Jesus had just prophesied his death, burial, and resurrection, but Peter couldn’t bear the thought of it. “Peter took Jesus aside and told him not to talk like that…Jesus said to Peter, “Go away from me, Satan! You are not helping me! You don’t care about the things of God, but only about the things people think are important” (Matt. 16:22-23).

See the decisiveness of Jesus? A trashy thought comes his way. He is tempted to entertain it. A cross-less life would be nice. But what does he do? He stands at the gangplank of the dock and says, “Get away from me.” As if to say, “You are not allowed to enter my mind.”

What if you did that. What if you took every thought captive?
