Today, there is a negative attitude towards the study of doctrine. This is understandable but not excusable. It is understandable because emphasizing doctrine has led to fruitless intellectualism, a proud and unloving attitude, fruitless speculation and unnecessary divisions. Also, studying doctrine demands hard work and change which many are not willing to make. It is inexcusable because SGBC Cebuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06413595290652663272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30674645.post-36708659234574216532012-01-12T08:02:00.000+08:002014-12-06T09:06:10.631+08:00Sinulog - for God's glory?
"The Sinulog is a religious activity and festivity. Therefore it must be pleasing and glorifying to God." Perhaps that is what you are thinking. Maybe that is the reason why you [join] the festivity. But think again. Not all religious activities and festivities are pleasing to God. In fact, He hates many of them. And why? Because they do not really glorify Him.

More and more people are finding the practice of going to a Roman Catholic Mass rather empty and meaningless. In an age where people tend to hate just going through the motions without understanding the significance of them, it is not surprising that you may be wondering whether it is worth attending Mass.

These questions demand answers. And the Bible, God's word, provides us with definite answers.

More often than not, trustees and officers of non-stock non-profit (NSNP) institutions are appalled when they receive a letter from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) assessing them of deficiency taxes.
