A debilitating disease: POVERTY (my insight)
If we are to rank the top 5 problems of the country, pretty sure POVERTY would be part of it, and even would topped the rest. Poverty refers to the state of lacking basic necessities. It is really a serious problem in our country not just today but even before technology hasn’t been developed yet. The huge difference between a continuous development of high-technology in the country and a rampant increase in poverty is yet to be identified. No one claims that he has the precise answer to that problem. Even the most powerful leaders couldn’t agree more. As we see this situation, the best thing to do is to manage poverty, if we think we could not eradicate it. Poverty may be a result of someone’s action such as unequal distribution of goods by the persons-in-authority or termed as corruption. But remember that it could also be a result of your own doing as well. Someone said “It’s not your fault if you were born poor, but to die poor, that’s a different story”. We can pray to God, but we should keep rowing towards the shore. Doing our part wouldn’t be that hard as much as how God takes possession of our flaws and weaknesses. The Lord invites each and everyone of us to be a “hero of the poor”. If we don’t like our jobs, if we don’t like the status of our relationships, or we simply don’t like the state of our lives – we have no one to blame but ourselves, because God has given us free will. A simple advice from the well renowned speaker and author Bo Sanchez “STOP COMPARING, AND START LIVING! AND YOU’LL BE HAPPIER WITH YOUR LIFE. THE LORD GUARANTEES”. ;) -heigel

Sex before marriage. Is it morally right or wrong? (insight about pre-marital sex)
The Bible refers pre-marital sex as fornication – which means a sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each other. Obviously, the Church shows signs of oppositions regarding this matter and considers it as a sinful act alongside with adultery. As part of this new generation, we are socially aware about this increasing number of youth who engage in pre-marital sex. The sad thing is not everyone is mindful to it. Our moral obligations as Christians have been challenged through it. The Bible explains, "…The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body" (1 Corinthians 6:13). Weighing the pros and cons of such act could help us to decide the right thing to do. With a proper guidance of our guardians, teachers or parents, and a close deep relationship with God, we will not be put into a crossroads of doing the right thing or not. After all, the messages we receive from most TV shows and movies these days tells us "everyone is doing it.”, but we must also put into mind that being 100% PURE doesn’t make you less as a person. Somebody up there is crazily in love with you and HIS name is JESUS CHRIST. Look at your choices. You'd get an idea of how much you love God. And remember this “TRUE LOVE WAITS”. -Heigel
