Sa Lahat ng Pagkakataon

1 Tesalonica 5:16-18 Magandang Balita Biblia 16 Magalak kayong lagi, 17 palagi kayong manalangin, 18 at magpasalamat kayo sa Diyos sa lahat ng pagkakataon; sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng Diyos para sa inyo sa inyong pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus. Ang mga talatang ito ay bilin ni apostol Pablo sa mga taga Tesalonica at nais ring iparating sa ibang mga kapatid. Nasabi ito ni Pablo, Hindi dahil nasa mabuti Siyang kalagayan, bagkus nalalaman niya na kahit may haharapin pagsubok Ang bawat isa HINDI dapat Tayo manghina sa pananampalataya dahil Tayo ay nasa Pangako Ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Jesus na ating Tagapagligtas. Nasa ilalim na tayo Ng kapangyarihan Ng Diyos kaya natututo na tayong pahalagahan Ang KALOOBAN Niya kaysa sa sailing nating kagustuhan.  Kaya kapatid "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances."

God is our Help

Isaiah 38:16 O Lord, by these things people live,     and in all these is the life of my spirit.     Oh, restore me to health and make me live! Ang verse na ito ay ang sinabi ni Haring Hezekiah Ng Judah sa ating Panginoong Diyos habang siya ay nasa proseso Ng kagalingan. Isang hari si Hezekiah ngunit kinilala pa rin Niya ang Diyos na nakahihigit sa lahat. Humingi siya Ng tulong sa Diyos at nakakaranas Siya Ng kagalingan. Pinapaalala Ng verse na ito na ang Dakilang Diyos ay mahihingan natin Ng tulong nasaan man tayo o anumang estado Ng ating Buhay. Mahal ka, tayo Ng Diyos at Hindi Niya tayo pababayaan.

Ituon Kay Jesus

Mga Hebreo 12:1-2 12 Kaya nga, dahil napapaligiran tayo ng napakaraming saksi, tanggalin natin ang anumang balakid at ang kasalanang kumakapit sa atin. Buong tiyaga tayong tumakbo sa takbuhing nasa ating harapan.  2 Ituon natin ang ating paningin kay Jesus. Sa kanya nakasalalay ang ating pananampalataya mula simula hanggang katapusan. Dahil sa kagalakang naghihintay sa kanya, hindi niya inalintana ang kahihiyan ng pagkamatay sa krus, at siya ngayo'y nakaupo sa kanan ng trono ng Diyos. Ang Buhay Kristiyano ay isang paglalakbay kasama si Jesus.  Si Jesus ang nagpakita kung paano mamuhay ng may kabanalan. Bagama't tayo ay nasa mundong maraming nakapalibot na paghihirap, tukso at kasalanan, makakayanan nating malagpasan Ang mga ito kung nakatuon tayo sa ating Panginoong Jesus. Mayroong naghihintay na kagalakan sa atin sa may Hangganang kinaroroonan Ng Diyos. Huwag tayong magpagod sa Buhay Kristiyano. Magpatuloy tayo sa paglilingkod at lakbay Ng nakatuon ang paningin Kay Jesus na ...

Telling Others about Jesus

                                Romans 10:17 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.   Isang pastor Ang nakatabi ko sa bus at bago Siya bumaba Ang sabi niya ay "Mag share ka lang Ng word of God habang may pagkakataon ka."   Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he left the great commission to his disciples. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...   (Matthew 28:19-20). Sabi sa Romans 10:17, Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Ito ang bunga Ng pagbabahagi Ng salita Ng Diyos. Ngunit paano ito mangyayari kung Walang magbabahagi? Maaring naiisip natin na nahihiya tayo, natatakot, o kinakabahan. Or baka iniisip natin na baka Hindi makinig o maniwala Ang taong   binahagian natin Ng Word of God. Ngunit pinapaalala sa atin Ng Panginoon ...

Crystal-clear and As Clear as Mud

In the middle of the discussion, my Filipino teacher says crystal, then I say clear. Also, my chemistry teacher asks, is it as clear as mud?, I answer no. Going back to my Senior High School and freshman year in college, as one of the students who sit and actively listen while the teacher talks, I only see those phrases as attention-getter.  I became more awake and attentive during class as I responded crystal, clear, no, and yes. "Crystal-clear and as clear as mud" are idioms that are opposite from each other. Crystal- clear means to easily understand, while as clear as mud is something hard to understand. But I came to realized that behind these idiomatic expressions is a teachers' care for their students. Teachers always ask the students if they understood the lesson. The role of the teacher is not only to teach but to make sure that students are learning. They always care for us because they want the best for us. And now, crystal- clear and as clear as mud is no longe...

In this Life, We've been blessed to be a blessing.

 Joy and overflowing grace are what I'm feeling right now.  I want to testify how generous and caring God is. It all began when I ask God to help me with everything I need. In particular, I ask God to help me in my studies. With Faith, I have received what I ask for in prayer. In my past experiences, I had applied for a scholarship many times and I did not get anything. At present, opportunities are gradually opening to me now. I have received educational assistance that is more than enough to support my study- God provides.  Today, our deaconess' song choice for Sunday Service is '' Blessed to be a blessing". Truthfully, we've been blessed to be a blessing. Everything that we have comes from above. All are from God. As we receive something, let thanksgiving be our first thing to do. The moment that I acknowledge God for what I have received, I have learned about giving back and sharing. As I said, God gives more than enough; it's overflowing. The joy that ...
