Stop Spiritual Abuse!
Are you serving God sincerely but receiving cruel treatment from your church leader? If you think that your church leader uses “divine authority” to control, manipulate, or dominate you then you might be a victim of spiritual abuse.
What is Spiritual Abuse?
Spiritual abuse happens when a spouse or a person in religious authority misleads you in the name of God, and then attempts to control your mind and faith once more in the name of God or the church.

Experience the ShowBiz Church
Paolo Lorenzana recently published an interesting article, Jesus Christ & Superstars – a timely revelation for Filipino churchians. Paolo named the most luminous and influential showbiz personalities who had a spotlightenment and has now become visible envoys of Victory Christian Fellowship: Kitchie Nadal, Carmi Martin, Donita Rose-Villarama, Piolo Pascual, Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga, and Rica Peralejo who’s currently under the discipleship of actress-turned-evangelist Coney Reyes.
In that same commentary, Paolo daringly wrote his observation that “the God of Born-Again Christianity seems to have become an all-encompassing manager and publicist in the realm of showbiz, shifting past scandal into salvation and turning sexy stars and drug-dredged lotharios into disciples”. That’s an intriguing viewpoint but it’s just a confirmation of Rick Ross’s evaluation of controversial religious groups (Rick Ross is a cult intervention specialist).

Nobody’s Perfect – Even Pinoy Superstars!
Pinoywood icons, Blockbuster celebrities, professional basketball stars, and Filipino award winners are very much adored and highly respected in the Philippine society. But things are not always what they seem. The reality: Nobody’s perfect – even distinguished Pinoy superstars!
Bong Alvarez
Ex-cager Paul “Bong” Alvarez was criminally charged for allegedly mauling a taxi driver and an ABS-CBN female reporter. The Mandaluyong City Prosecutors’ Office told Bong Alvarez to pay P4,000 for bail. The deputy director for the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility added that Alvarez violated press freedom when he prevented the reporter to interview the taxi driver at the police station.
Nora Aunor
Nora Aunor, labeled as Superstar in Philippine cinema, was arrested for possession of illegal substance at the Los Angeles Airport in 2006 and was sentenced to “18 months of deferred entry of judgment,” according to a clerk of court of the Superior Court of Los Angeles in California. Nora Aunor once again shocked the Filipino community when she got married in Las Vegas but not to any of the men who came into her life—but to a woman, her talent manager Norie Sayo.

Hulog ng Langit

Siya ay sumiyap sa kaniyang tainga at tumingin sa kaniya na may mga matang nagniningning kasama ang pag-asang tulad sa dalisay na bughaw na himpapawid. Kaniyang naramdaman ang kapalaran nang muling pagbuksan nitong pinto nang nagsara ang mga bintana ng langit at napigilan ang ulan ng kawalang pag-asa. Ang lumipas na kakila-kilabot na klima ay wala na. Pumapasok ngayon ang araw ng pagkakataon.
May apatnapung araw na mula pa nang makita niya ang araw ng kapalaran, at kaniyang narinig na mga ilang buwan pa ang dapat magdaan bago ang mga tubig ng lumbay ay kumaunti. Tila binaha siya ng mga balitang malupit na ay malamig pa at nakakabagabag. Nguni’t ang lahat ng ito – ang mga makalangit na paalala, ang pagkawala ng araw mula sa himpapawid, ang halos walang-tigil na marahas na ulan, ang baha na nagdulot ng pagkalunod ng sangkatauhan, at ang nakapagtatakang hiwaga ng dambuhalang barko na nagligtas ng walong tao at mga daan-daang hayop – ay lumikha ng malaking sapantaha na sa kanya. Siya sa ngayon ay isa ng naniniwala sa masamang balita. Hindi iyon dahil sa siya ay nagiginhawaan nito. Siya ay isang mapagmasid, isang saksi, at siya ay nasindak sa kaniyang nakita. Maliban dito, siya ay hindi nakasumpong ng kapahingaan para sa talampakan ng kaniyang paa. Kaya siya ay bumalik sa barko ng walang anomang mabuting balita.
