    Walking in the Way of Christ (Phil 3:1-11) | Dr. Herman Moldez, Aug 9, 2026

    Walking in the Way of Christ (Phil 3:1-11) | Dr. Herman Moldez, Aug 9, 2026 Jesus is our model par excellence. Imitation of Christ is a biblical and aspirational spirituality. However, we fail to walk in the life of Jesus. In Philippians 3:1-11 Paul gives spiritual direction to guide believers on how Christ's risen life can grow in their everyday living. We can walk the life of Jesus by the power of the resurrection (vv. 10-11) through the indwelling Holy Spirit (v. 3, Rom. 8:9-11). Being religious will not enable us to live like Christ because the sinful nature (flesh) weakens human resolve to obey Christ. It is a loss, in fact garbage (vv. 7, 8). It is only by relying on the Holy Spirit by prayer that Christ's risen life will be formed in our ordinary life. But it is not that simple. The fleshly nature works powerfully in our bodily desire (see Rom. 6:12-13). So we must participate in the suffering of Christ to be conformed in his death to rise to a new life (v. 10). Suffering is God's means to sanctify our life. It is through the crucible of pain that Christ's character becomes part of who we are. We must embrace the crucified life to resist the flesh to rise with Christ and live his life. We die to false self in total surrender to Christ our Lord. This is not a quick-fix practice. It requires diligent pursuit of Christlikeness by daily walking to imitate Jesus. We are still a work in progress. We live with imperfection. We press on no matter how difficult by practicing spiritual disciplines. The walk is living Christ's risen life slowly being formed in us by the power of the Holy Spirit through participation Christ's suffering, in conformity with his death to die from our sinful desire. It is a process as we practice daily obedience. What kind of lifestyle are you walking with?

    Deep Calls To Deep (Ps 42:5-8) | Herman Moldez, July 26, 2026

    Deep Calls To Deep (Ps 42:5-8) | Dr. Herman Moldez In an age of very advanced information technology, ordinary people have known so many things almost about everything. Never before have we the available resources to know about the Bible and theology. However, despite the vast knowledge of God in the marketplace, Christians remain shallow in knowing God in their lives. What we need, Richard Foster said, is "not intelligent and gifted people but deep people." In Psalm 42:5-8, the saints yearn for deeper life with and love of God. They cry "deep calls to deep" as they feel submerged in the overwhelming sorrow, like waves and roars of the waterfalls. How do we grow deep in life and relationship with God? The deep represents the bottomless and boundless abyss of the soul where God dwells. Deep is the spiritual encounter with God in the very depth of who we really are in our soul. We experience intimate communion with God in the deep. It is in the abyss that we are DRAWN closer to God's love. It is not only the human spirit thirsting for God but the divine Spirit is yearning to love the saints. But we are too busy to attend to God's intense desire to embrace us by His pure love. It is usually in deep sorrow of the absence of God that we DIVE in the ocean of God's love. What the world offers to be loved through performance, possession, and prestige become empty. Status before the world does not give true significance to know our true identity. It is in the deep of our total nakedness that we are deeply loved without condition. In the deep we rest in God's love fully satisfied like a weaned child (Ps 131:2). In the deep we are assured being the beloved. God DIRECTS us to notice how each day is lavished with His love to sing in the night. Deep people remember the goodness of God to rejoice in His love. Intimacy with God grows in the deep. Not on the mountain peak but in the places of the ordinary where we encounter trials and troubles, sickness and suffering, emptiness and nothingness. Where are you seeking intimacy with God?
