John Romaniello There's a new fat loss program coming out by John "Roman" Romaniello.  I'm excited about this one because it incorporates some strategies I've used personally with great success (intermittent fasting, fasted training, etc).  You can read my review and articles here:  Fat Loss Forever Review.

I promised to tell you a little more about our story, so here goes. 2011 B.C. (Before Cris) I'll start this story by rewinding a few months--back to August of 2011.   I was 39, single, and determined not to give up on love (despite some serious disappointments over the previous 12 months). I went out on a few friendly dates from August through September.  They were very positive

I'll be doing a Basta LoveLife seminar in Manila on Saturday, February 4th at the Church Strengthening Ministry building.  As you can see, there's a discount for registering early and a copy of Basta LoveLife is included.   This will probably be your only chance to hear me speak in Manila this February.  I'm busy with planning my wedding and will not be booking any other speaking gigs in the

It's official--I'm engaged!  This is Mare Cris, my future wife.  She's an incredible Christian woman and I'm so blessed to have her in my life.  I'm overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. I'll share our story soon. In the meantime you can pray for us as we plan the next steps.

I've been in Angeles City for a month!  We've rented a place for Hope Angeles to meet on Sundays.  It is located near Angeles University Foundation along Sto Entiero St. at the RCBC building (it is the white and blue building on the rotunda).  We meet up on the second floor. Right now we are meeting Sunday nights at 9:30 p.m.  This time may sound a little weird, but it is perfect for mall

I have two more quick updates regarding my fitness blogs.   My latest post over on the blog is MI40 Mass Intentions Review.  This is a new bodybuilding program from Ben Pakulski. I also have another announcement:  I have a new fitness blog: Muscle Review.  This is a new project I'm working on so we'll see how it goes.  I really wish I had thought of this name/domain back when I first started.

Hey guys, Here's an update Basta LoveLife Radio Show/Podcast:  We've been behind on posting new episodes. Sorry about that--October was a crazy month. But there's good news: Erwin and I have been able to go back to a more interactive format (the way we used to do the show years ago).  I've posted the episode from the first week of November.  You can check it out here: Basta LoveLife@The Edge.

Many of you know that I have a little sideline business: my fitness blog.  The profits help support my ministry and living expenses.  You may want to check out my 24/7 Fat Loss review if you are interested in losing weight and getting in shape. It would also help me if you'd click the review and post it on your facebook or twitter accounts.

I've been living in Angeles City for about two weeks now.  So far I'm loving it here--it's already starting to feel like home.  I'll share just a few of my impressions: Chillax: There's something innately relaxing about this city.  I have so many of the amenities of Manila without the hassle.  Most of the stuff I need for day-to-day life (grocery store, laundry mat, gym etc) is within

This year I started watching a few new reality shows on television. A show called Pickers documents the adventures of a couple of antique merchants. The guys travel the country in search of collectibles they can buy and resell at a profit. Sometimes their manager leads them to a potential seller. But I’ve also seen them just walk up to a house with a barn and ask if they can look around for

The movers probably felt this way about my couch bed I've officially moved to Angeles City! I arrived here last night and we had all my belongings moved into my new place before midnight.   I have no doubt this is where I'm supposed to be, but it's kind of surreal at this point.  There's a part of me that can't believe I just left my home of nine years.  But playing it safe is overrated,

Mydestiny dropped by to uninstall my cable internet, so I won't be online as much for the next few days (I'm at a coffee shop right now at the mall).   I may invest in a usb broadband device, but I'm not sure--I may just wait until I can get something installed in my new place in Angeles City.  Just be patient with me as I'll be slower in responding to emails, Facebook posts, etc. Please

Hey guys, I have a very important announcement to make.  I'll soon be moving to Angeles City, Pampanga to help with Erwin's new church/ministry.   I'm sure this news will come as a surprise to some of you.  Manila, after all, has been my home for over nine years.   But this decision is a result of several events, some of which the Lord set in motion years ago.  Here's the short version:

I was awakened this morning by the sound of strong winds buffeting my apartment building. I walked into my living room and saw the familiar darkness of typhoon weather. Some of the rain had made its way through the sliding door in the living room. Rain and wind from a certain angle can cause leaking issues at my place. Fortunately this doesn’t happen often, but Pedring turned out to be the “

I've been following the Miss Universe 2011 Pageant on Twitter and Facebook.  Shamcey Supsup won 3rd runner-up. I'm really impressed with her answer to the Q/A (I was able to watch it on TV).  The interviewer asked her if she would change her religion to marry the one she loved.  Shamcey said God is her first love and she owes everything to Him: "If I would have to change my religious beliefs

Vintage? Much has changed since I first arrived in the Philippines over nine years ago. One of the most precious possessions I brought was my Dell laptop.  I believe it was an Inspiron 8100, and it was a pretty good computer in its time.  Having a laptop was kind of a big deal in those days.  I remember my roommate discouraged me from carrying it around with me, afraid someone may try to

I believe 1st Corinthians 7 is one of the most misunderstood parts of the New Testament. I find it ironic that authors have approached this text and come to radically different conclusions on how to apply it to the Christian life. The “marriage mandate” folks (those who believe we are obligated to marry) essentially dismiss Paul’s encouragement to stay single as only relevant to the specific

Last night I had the chance to watch Captain America: The First Avenger.   I never know how I'll react to a movie based on a comic book character/story.  There have been some great ones lately, such as Thor and X-men: First Class.  But not all comic book movies turn out that well (we all know of some really disappointing flops). This movie didn't let me down.  The 1940's setting put a unique

Jesus, Joseph, and Forgiveness "I forgive you." These three words may be the most difficult thing you'll ever say to another human being.  But forgiving and letting go are essential steps if one is to truly follow Jesus and experience the abundant life He offers.  Jesus preached a radical message of forgiveness, instructing His listeners to turn the other cheek and pray for those who

I thought I'd share my experiences with Xoom.com.  I was looking for a cost-effective way to send money here to the Philippines from the States.  I created an account and used it a time or two--it worked as advertised.  Now I'm using it to transfer money from my American account to my account here in the Philippines.  I used to just use my American ATM card, but I had to change that--banks here

July 11th is one of the most important dates in my life.  Nine years ago I arrived here in Manila for the first time.  I didn't know any of the language, and what little I knew of Filipino culture came from an outdated book.  Much has changed since then.  Students, teammates, and friends have come and gone. One thing hasn't changed:  God has proven Himself faithful time and again. This

Love vs. Lust—Part One: Defining Lust I talked about Love vs. Lust during my opening segments of the radio show last month. I’ll share some of my thoughts for those who were unable to listen. A student’s question during one of my seminars inspired me to elaborate on this subject: “Kuya Kevin, my professor said a good relationship has both love and lust. Is this true?” I answered by saying

I’m sure many of you have seen the story about “gay wedding” ceremonies being performed by a group in Baguio (a city here in the Philippines).   My regular readers know where I stand on this, but I want to reiterate the biblical position for those who may be searching for the truth. What I’m about to say may not be popular, but that doesn’t really concern me. What does the Bible really

There’s something that’s been on my mind for quite some time. I’ve been meaning to write a post about it, but it’s taken me some time to really process what I want to say. Or maybe it’s just that I rarely have profound thoughts, so I wanted to hang on to this one and milk it for all it’s worth. It came to mind again during a recent Bible study with students. We were studying the story of

Hey guys, I'll be on the Word Up show this Sunday, 8PM on Zoe TV (Channel 33).  We'll be talking about the way media influences young people's perspectives on love.  You'll see me interviewed alongside a pocketbook author.

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know about Word Up, a new TV show that will be airing soon.  This show will deal with all kinds of issues that affect Filipino youth.  The pilot episode will be May 29, Sunday, 8PM on Zoe TV (Channel 33).  I was interviewed for this show alongside a Tagalog romance novel author and we had a pretty interesting discussion.  That episode will probably air in two

Harold Camping is at it again: he’s rescheduled the end of the world from May 21st to October 21st. I thought he’d keep his mouth shut for a while, but predicting the end seems to be big business (Camping’s “ministry” draws millions of dollars from foolish contributors). I’d like to share some biblical admonitions regarding Camping and the Family Radio International (his “ministry”): It

I’d like to share some of my thoughts about the controversy surrounding the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. I never intended to get involved with this issue, but I keep seeing Filipinos post links from KJV-only websites on Facebook. Let me first say this: I grew up hearing the KJV preached and taught in church—this is what most of us used during my childhood years. I’ll always have

I’m not speaking of personal loss, but of the thousands of lives that have been affected by natural disasters.

It is now Holy Week--a time we use to contemplate the last week of Jesus’ life before the crucifixion. I’m not sure why, but a few verses of Scripture have been on my mind. I’m referring to a conversation between Jesus and the disciples, with special emphasis on Simon Peter. It was the Passover meal. Jesus was explaining the “new covenant,” based on the blood he would soon shed on the cross.

Easter Sunday is quickly approaching. It's the time when we think more about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I'd like for all my readers to reflect on the cross as God's ultimate revelation of love to us. Let's think about this whole concept of revelation.  Here's what it means: we would not know God completely unless He chose to reveal Himself to us. We can know some

A good friend recommended Death by Love: Letters from the Cross (by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears) some time ago.  I brought a copy back with me from the States, and I've finally taken the time to read it. Let me first tell you about my impressions of Mark Driscoll's books. My first literary encounter with him was reading Confessions of a Reformission Rev. I found myself laughing out loud

I’ve been promising to write an article on "emotional purity." I get asked about it every once in a while, and I also see this term on websites/blogs. There’s even a book with the same title as this blog post. Sacred Cows=Cute, Not Helpful So what I do I think? I think the “emotional purity” term is one of those of those “sacred cows”—something that sounds holy, but doesn’t have any

Anyway, here’s one of the questions that was asked: Hi, Kuya! I have been so blessed by your ministry. I have been reading your blogs and found them extremely helpful.

 A while back I wrote a post about God’s will and "the one," an eye-opening concept for many (even though what I wrote was 100% backed up by Scripture). Once again I’m going to invite you to take the "red pill" and take a critical look at another related concept: waiting for the one. It goes something like this: “Wait for the one God has chosen for you. Don’t date or form any sort of

I still remember something one of my Christian Education professors told me. He had a special gift in mind once one of his children decided to get engaged. He would take them to divorce court. That’s right—divorce court. There they would watch couples fight over everything from child custody to silverware—couples that once stood at the altar and publicly professed their love for each other.

I’m a man of faith--I believe in the authority of Scripture. But I must confess, I used to have a little bit of trouble with the whole “Creation vs. Evolution” thing. I’ve always loved science, and most biology textbooks present Darwinian evolution as a fact--a foregone conclusion. My high school biology textbook, for example, had one page about “creationism.” Just one page—that should give

It's funny:  February used to be my slowest month of ministry.  It's the month of projects, exams, preparation for graduation, special school events, and all kinds of things that make students busy.  The flurry of activity means they have a really hard time attending Bible study. But slow Februaries are now a thing of the past--it's my busiest month in terms of speaking engagements.  2011 was

"How can I know this is the one God has chosen for me?" I'd say this is one of the most frequently asked questions I get, especially when speaking at churches. My answer begins with two points: *I really don’t believe God chooses our spouse for us. *I also don’t believe it’s realistic to think there's only one person in the entire world you are meant/allowed to marry. In other words, I

Hey guys, This Friday (February 18th), yours truly will be speaking at Youth Gig.   I'll spend some time talking about Frequently Asked Questions re: love, purity, and relationships.  What I have to say about some of these issues might just surprise you. We'll also be doing some Q/A time. We might even have sale on my books.  Hope you can come! Youth Gig 6:00-8:00 pm, Youth Life Student

I’d like to talk about a mistake many singles make in searching for love. Let me first introduce the concept of “tunnel vision.” The idea is you look at something with a constricted or narrow view, as if looking down a tunnel. You only see limited options or possibilities. Some singles are guilty of “romantic tunnel vision”—fixating on only one person as a potential love interest. I

I’m finally feeling inspired and coherent enough to put it into words something that’s been on my mind. I’ve been thinking about cynicism and the dark role it often plays in my life. “Cynicism: An attitude of scornful or jaded negativity, especially a general distrust of the integrity or professed motives of others.” I struggle with my cynical attitude. Maybe part of it goes with the kind

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. -Psalm 37:4 These words from the Psalms are inspiring, yet a little bit confusing. We know that every promise in the Bible is true—Jesus Himself said that the “scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35). But how many of us can honestly say we have everything we want? Does this mean God has broken His promise? Some

A while back I started looking into good options for sending money online.  I usually just use my American ATM card, but the local machines have started adding pretty ridiculous fees.  In other words, I was looking for a more cost effective way to get money to myself here in the Philippines (I plan to open an account here then send money to it as needed).  I was also looking for a way to send

“I got your back!” One of my buddies said that to me a few days ago. I knew these weren’t empty words—he has proven himself to be a loyal friend. For some reason this reminded me of a story in the Old Testament. Saul (Israel’s first king) was at war with their archenemies, the Philistines. His son Jonathan decided to go on a secret mission—so secret that even his father didn’t know about

My friend LJ Salceda wrote the foreward to Learning the Hard Way: True Stories of Heartbreak, Healing, and Hope.  Here's one piece of advice she gave: ". . . when "red flags" appear, please take them seriously." So true!  With this in mind, I'd like to talk about warning signs--things that may help you to know your relationship is in trouble or you are being deceived. Keep something in mind:

I'm not a parent, so I'm not pretending to be an expert on raising children.  This advice is simply my perspective as a guy that spends a lot of time talking to students.

I just realized I wrote a 2009 Year in Review post last year. This review won’t be quite as elaborate. I can say 2010 started off very well. We were working on the book launching for Learning the Hard Way, a project we finished up in ’09. February was, in fact, kind of a blur—I remember having several speaking gigs and feeling a bit burned out by April/May. I read a book (Leading on Empty)

Sometimes it seems more difficult to get into the "Christmas spirit" once we reach adulthood.  We remember the childhood years:  looking through toy catalogs, writing letters to Santa, and checking the calendar to see how much longer we'd have to wait.  We long to recapture the magic of being a child at the merriest time of the year.  Those last few days of waiting were torturous.  Do you

I've been blessed with a godly heritage from both sides of my family.  I often joke that I inherited my knack for writing from my maternal grandfather, Luther Hutchens (we called him "granddaddy.")  Granddaddy was a lay preacher with a deep love for Jesus and a passion for spreading the gospel.  He only had the formal equivalent of a 7th grade education, but he loved the Scriptures and also

 Last weekend I had the privilege of preaching at the vesper service for my church (UBC).  I preached on Six Lessons from the Life of Solomon.   One thing I talked about was the integrity required to correctly handle success and prosperity.  Solomon was the wisest man in the world, yet it seems his success went to his head.  He forgot that everything ultimately belongs to God. I believe one of

I thought I'd write a little "public service announcement" of sorts.  I'm doing this because I've experienced a couple of snatching attempts at the corner of Recto and Legarda. Corner: Legarda/Recto (Recto Side) The first attempt happened right as I was turning this corner to go from Legarda to Recto (I'm taking this photo from the overpass, but it happened down at the sidewalk).  I thought I

November 1st is a significant holiday in the Filipino culture.  Here are some thoughts from Pastor Francis Neil G. Jalando-on,  a chaplain at Central Philippine University: Most of us have visited our departed loved ones in the cemetery today. It is our tradition to light candles, eat sticky food, and reunite with family members on All Saints Day. What lessons can we learn on our November 1

I wish I could say I always understand the ways of God.  I wish I could say life is always easy for those who love Jesus.  I wish I could say my faith never waivers and I never question God.   But all of these things would be a complete lie.  The truth is I don't always understand God.  Such times remind me of a conversation between Jesus and His disciples.  He had just taught some truths

I arrived back here in Manila Monday after a great weekend in Bohol.  Sunday morning I had the opportunity to preach to a large crowd in Calape (this is where I spent most of my time).   That afternoon a couple of the local pastors took me to see the Chocolate Hills (they are green, not "chocolate," this time of year--but quite impressive nonetheless).  Thanks to everyone who invited me and

It's an honor to read and review LJ Salceda's Eating With One Chopstick: Growing Up in a Single Parent Home.   LJ is a good friend of mine, so I've been looking forward the book's release.  I was not disappointed. As the title implies, this book is LJ's personal journey of growing up without a father in her home.  She speaks openly of the financial, emotional, and spiritual struggles that have

Let’s face it: ministry is hard work. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t done much of it. Here are just a few of the challenges I can think of: *Some are just not interested in God and flat out reject the gospel (and the messenger). *Other endeavors become profitable as you succeed (business, for example). Ministry can be just the opposite—sometimes the more successful you are the more
