Bro Roy exhorts us to radiate, grow and glow with the love and light of Jesus, the love and light which will “Set the World on Fire.”

in this our 35th year, listening to the sharings of our three brothers, I believe that even if we are in 155 business centers in the Philippines, Asia and North America, God is telling us not to be complacent, not to look to the past accomplishments but look to the future. He renews his call to all of us to move out, take ground, bring other businessmen and professionals to His Kingdom, to be Brave, Be Bold. ARE YOU WITH ME? LETS SHOUT: BE BRAVE, BE BOLD!

In the talk “Growing In Relationship With The Lord”, Service is one of the 5 spokes of the wheel characterizing the life of a Christian that transmits the Power of the Holy Spirit to our daily lives. And yet Service, unless focused on Jesus, can also block our growth as a Christian.

As we face the year on fire with the recent visit of Pope Francis and our resulting Transfiguration because of this visit, we need to keep that fire burning throughout our 35th year as the BCBP community and even beyond. The flames should continue to burn bright and not wane even if there will be times of tiredness and weariness in the face of doing God’s work.

And after one final celebration, New Years Day, the Christmas Season is over and we go back to work, back to the salt mines. Vacation time is gone never to come back and we drag our feet to face the rigors, hardships of earning a living, working for our families in 2015. With this mindset of fear in facing 2015, we can even think our service to God in the BCBP as a burden. And we hold on, cling to the past, to the time before Christmas, to the date when our vacation started, fearful of the New Year.
