In this episode, we wrap up the Kingly Office as the last of the Trilogy for the laity. What does it mean for Baptized Christians to participate in Christ’s Kingly Office? And what does that look like in practice? That is what we are going to explore in “The King & I.”The Scripture passage that inspired "the King & I" is from Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14. The Scripture passage that glues the entire reflection on the Priest, Prophet & King Trilogy is from Isaiah 50:4-9.Catch you in Season 2 on Jan.6 2022 (Thursday).

Continuing from the last episode, where I unpacked our Priestly Office by virtue of our baptism, I unpack the Prophetic Office of our calling in this episode. A Prophet is the Messenger of God. And I reflect on 3 main talking points:  1) Truth & Authority, 2) Calling & Mission, and 3) Call to be Faithful. As usual, my reflections are based on Sacred Scripture, the CCC and Bible Scholars in accordance to the authority of the Magisterium Church.Show Notes: https://www.settingapart.com/episodesLeave Comments/Feedback: https://www.settingapart.com/contactTestimonials: https://www.settingapart.com/testimonials

In this episode, I wanna take a stab in addressing the following question: Have you wondered why we are called to be so many things? We are called to be Holy, first and foremost; and it seems we are also called to be Priest, Prophet and King. Are you overwhelmed by the different callings? How is it that we are called to be so many things? Are they even Biblical or Tradition?Show Notes: https://www.settingapart.com/episodes/season-1Testimonials: https://www.settingapart.com/testimonialsComments/Feedback: https://www.settingapart.com/contactThank you & God Bless!

Is God’s Love for us conditional or unconditional? Does it come with any strings attached? If God’s Love for us is unconditional, can anything separate us from the Love of Christ? By examining these questions, it forms the framework/basis for me to decide whether I should take the leap of faith in converting to Christianity. This is part 2 of “How Deep is God’s Love?” In this episode, I contemplate on whether God's Love is unconditional; which helps reflect on my thought process in taking the leap of faith - recalling the struggles I faced in RCIA, culminating in my conversion 5 years later. The inspired reading for this episode is from Rom 8:31-39. The reflection connects the dots from Ep. 4 - 8.Please feel free to leave your comments/feedback in Contact: https://www.settingapart.com/contactShow Notes: https://www.settingapart.com/homeTestimonials: https://www.settingapart.com/testimonialsThank you & God Bless!

Being the omnipotent God, was it necessary for God to send His only beloved Son to the world to save the world? And was it necessary for Jesus to go through His passion and death to save us?In this episode, my reflection is based on Jn 3:16-18 using the prayer of Lectio Divina.
