Worth the Fork | God and you

“Keep you fork. The best is yet to come.” I’ve heard it a couple of times during messages to illustrate hopeful anticipation for what God has in store – as a chef tells his patron to wait for the dessert, which most people often refer to as the best part of the whole dining experience.

ForkAuthor’s note: This was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend over lunch a couple of weeks ago.

Our Christian walk doesn’t necessarily make us immune to feelings of discouragement. Surely, there are situations that will throw us off and can potentially lead us to be sidetracked from following Christ. When things get tough and seemingly unbearable, that is when we are most likely to falter. We tend to believe the lie that we are not worth anything, even if we know that it is what it is – a lie.

Yes, we’re not immune to these things. We are, after all, still living in this world, along with its ways.

But though we are not immune, Christ’s love for us protects us from sinking and yielding from such discouragements, depression and feelings of self-pity.

Title Tag Optimization Guide | SEO in Simple Terms

Title TagThe title tag is one of the oldest attributes there is to a webpage’s layout. Title Tags have been existent since websites came to being. Title tags are also one of the most important attributes that you will ever get to use in your on site optimization.

As a user, you see the title tag in the top-leftmost part of your internet browser. It is also used in the search engine results page as indicated in the illustration:

Title Tag SERP

It doesn’t take a genius to create a title tag. You can always see how title tags are created in the source code of an internet browser. For example, if you’re using firefox, type in CTR+U and you’ll see the source code of this page. Press CTR+F and look for <title> and you immediately see the title I used for this entry.

Being 'In Love' and having an Emotional Need | God and you

We are emotional creatures. Like it or not, whether you are a boy or a girl, you have emotional needs. And as emotional creatures, we do experience that ‘falling in love‘ state, don’t we?

In LoveThis entry has been inspired by the book “The 5 Love Languages” by Dr. Gary Chapman and “Fit to be Tied” by Bill and Lynne Hybels. IPraise God for the wisdom that they give through their writing.

There is a state in time when you are ‘in love’ and you set reason and logic to a secondary state. Your feelings and emotions get the upper hand. Suddenly a 1,200 peso bouquet of flowers seem so affordable in light of the girl you like. Suddenly the time you could have spent working on your thesis seem less important than spending time with that certain someone. Suddenly, everything else seems less of a priority compared to your relationship with that person.

Being ‘in love’ spells out an emotion that is so good – it keeps your emotional tank running in full. Unfortunately, this state of emotional being has a limited duration that, according to Dr. Gary Chapman in his book, ‘The 5 Love Languages’, lasts for 2 years at most.Time is something to take into account when you’re in this state of emotion.

I’m not saying that being ‘in love’ is bad. No it’s not. In fact, I find it a good and enjoyable state of an individual’s emotion. Though I do tell people to double-check their decision making when they are in this state

G.O.S.P.E.L | God and you

A really nice video propaganda of our faith. It’s the whole message of the Bible summarized into a 5 minute video which I would like to share with you guys as it had been shared with me by Melchor Chan in Facebook. Watch it.

There’s not a religion in the world that doesn’t agree that something’s wrong with us.

Roadmaps, Guides, and God's Will | God and you

Author’s Note: This is based on a devotion I shared over the weekend. Somehow, I was convicted to write it down to clear the points I’ve mentioned in the message and support them with scripture. For those who’ve heard the devotion, I hope this article would convey the points I wanted to bring across more clearly.

RoadmapMore often than not, when we travel to an unfamiliar place – whether it’s a new summer haven or a developing tourist spot, one of the first things we ask is directions on how to get there. We’d search for a roadmap and study it, so that when we decide to go, we wouldn’t be lost.

Somehow, we behave the same way when it comes to God’s Will. When God casts His vision, we would want to ask Him for full details. But God often reveals them step by step.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve encountered two stories in the bible that fascinated me. One is in Mark 8:22-26 where Jesus performed a two-staged miracle in healing a blind man from Bethsaida. The other is from 2 Kings 2:1-11 where Elijah was taken up to heaven. I had the same question on both stories – why did God made the blind man and Elijah go through “checkpoints”? Why did He reveal His Will step by step? What was God’s point in doing so?

Google Plus One Social Button | SEO in Simple Terms

Google Plus OneOkay, I know that I’ve blogged about Google planning to build a social network to rival Facebook before – but I’ve never expected it to be like this. It’s not really a social network. It’s more of a social button just as how Facebook’s ‘Like’ button works. It’s called Google Plus One (+1)

Same Banana?

I think that Google got the idea of data gathering and social integration from Facebook’s ‘Like’ button, though they didn’t apply it as a social network in Orkut, rather, they applied it in an area where they are a dominant player – Search.

I honestly think that this is a big leap for the search giant. The implications of the +1 button could be big – as big as how the ‘Like’ button of Facebook is now. Facebook’s button is in almost every website to date. If Google could do that too with the +1 button (I’m not sure how since it only appears in the SERPs thus far) the data they could harvest could greatly impact the effectiveness of their AdWords – and perhaps they can start something else…
