Ika 98 na Araw

    Ika- siyamnapu't walong (98)  araw na ngayon (September 11, 2024) nang ako ay itinalaga bilang isang Diyakonesa (Deaconess) sa Pangasinan West Island District, sa kumperensya ng Hundred Islands Philippines Annual Conference, Baguio Episcopal Area ng simbahang United Methodist Church sa Pilipinas sa pangunguna ng mahal na obispo na si Rev. Rodel Acdal para sa ikararangal ng ang Diyos Ama sa pagliligtas ni Hesu Cristo at patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu.

    Mahalaga ang araw na ito, sapagkat aking ipinapanalangin na samahan nawa ako ng ating Diyos sa aking pagsusulat. 

    Sa  nakalipas na mga araw, nagtanong ako sa ating Diyos kung ano ang aking gagawin at dapat isulat. Marami akong nasaksihan na mga pangyayari (kasiyasiya man o hindi), nakilalalang tao, napuntahang lugar, natanggap na pagapapala, at nakita at naramdaman ang kabutihan ng Diyos sa lahat ng pagkakataon. Marami akong naiisip na mga bagay-bagay  na hindi ko masabi sa ibang tao kundi patuloy lang na naglalaro sa aking isipan. Kaya naman, lubos kong pinapasalamat sa Diyos na mayroon ganitong paraan (pagsusulat) para aking masabi at maihayag lahat ng mga bagay na ito, na sa aking paniniwala ay ang Diyos ang nagbigay ng lahat. 

    Akin ng tatapusin ang pambungad na mga talatang ito sa pamamagitan ng isang motibasyon na marapat na ipahayag at  ipagmalaki ang kabutihan at mga gawa ng ating Diyos. Siya nga ang tunay na mapapurihan!

Devotion The Greatest Commandment

  Matthew 22:34-40 NRSV The Greatest Commandment 34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, an expert in the law, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Is it enough to just know? Is it enough to just know the greatest commandment? What is the greatest commandment? We should know the greatest commandment. And we should obey it as the LORD commands. In our text today, the beginning verse started with the Pharisees and the experts of the law gathered together. One of them questioned Jesus about the commandment. This one, who is a law expert, tried to test J...

Sermon -The Family of God

  Title: The Family of God Biblical Reference: Luke 15:11-32 Focus Verses on 15: 25-32             Luke 15:11-32 is known about the story of the Good Father and the Prodigal Son, but it is seldom heard in a sermon about the elder son in the story. For a quick background of the story, the father has two sons and the younger son asked his father to give him his inheritance. When the younger son received his inheritance, he decided to go away and spend his wealth to please himself. He experienced struggles being away and lost everything until he realized that he was wrong about his decision and decided to go back to his father, not as his son but as a slave. The father was very happy when he saw his younger son return. Because he was lost and now found. The father’s happiness is not limited to affirmation and forgiveness. The father even made a celebration and welcomed his son without condemnation. However, the reaction of t...
