Parang ayaw ko pong umattend ng high school class reunion naming kasi sobrang malayo nap o ang narrating ng iba naming classmates habang ako ay wala namang masyadong na-accomplish. What can you say?


Reunion yun, hindi contest kaya dumalo ka. Masaya. You cannot make old friends. Sayang pag lumayo ka pa sa old friends mo. Just remain true to yourself. Huwag kang makipagpaligsahan pero huwag ka rin magpaawa o magpaaba. Many of them would be happy to see you. At malay mo, baka through them ay ma-bless ka! But no matter, be a blessing to them!

Nawawala ba ang salvation?

The Bible says that when one person accepts Jesus as his Healer, Savior and Lord, the angels in heaven rejoice. If you prayed to receive Jesus and believe it in your heart, remember this day. Because Today, according to the Bible, your name is written in heaven. And if you commit sin, you will still be saved. The question is about the security of salvation. Is salvation lost when you commit a sin? Now, in fairness to scholarship, let me tell you that the Christian community has two ideas abou this. Several Bible scholars and theologians say yes, but there are also those who say no, it is not lost. I think that we have to look at the two types on holiness, the legal and the actual holiness. When I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord I don’t become actually holy; I become legally holy. Meaning, what He did for me make me holy, what He did for me I cannot undo. I am given a legal status called clean. The Bible calls me clean. I’m now called a child of God. So, if I accept Jesus as my...

Masama bang magninang/magninong sa binyag at sa kasal ang isang born-again?

Isang maselang bagay! Ang kaselanan ng bagay na ito’y cultural. Tayong mga Pilipino ay maka-kamag-anak, mahilig makipagkapwa at mahilig makipagkaibigan. Part of our culture yung positive na pakikisama. Noong dumating yung Protestantism, because they don’t have child baptism, itinuro ng mga missionaries sa atin yung napaka-simplistic approach na ‘Humiwalay kayo, huwag nyong gawin. Kasi hindi nila nauunawaan sa ating kultura yung Anakin mo yung nagpapaanak sa’yo. Lalo’t pamangkin mo, pinsan mo, etc., etc. Hindi ganun kasimple. Sa culture nila na individualistic, kaya nilang sikmurain yon. Kaya yung mga sekta na sumusunod sa ganung payo, dapat nilang isa-alang-alang na iba ang kultura ng nagpayo at iba ang kultura ng pinayuhan. Let me tell you a story. Minsan may lumapit sa akin para Anakin ko raw sa binyag ang anak niya. First and foremost, pag kayo’y nilapitan ng ganito, dapat kayong matuwa kasi it’s an honor. Huwag nyong sabihing, Lumayo ka sa akin, satanas! Honor yun at una mong gaw...

Dapat ba talagang magbigay tayo ng ikapu sa simbahan?

Una, nasa Bible that we should give to the Lord ten percent of our income. Pero dapat rin nating ingatan kung kanino natin ibinibigay. Talaga bang kay Lord napupunta o kung saan lang? Dapat nating iniingatan ito. Kaya tayo nire-require ni Lord na magbigay sapagkat He promised to return it a hundred fold. The Lord asks us to give so He can give in return. In other words, pinagtatanim tayo ng Diyos para tayo   umani. Noong dumating si Magellan sa Pilipinas, kaya nya nakaaway si Lapulapu dahil humihingi ng tribute. Humihingi ng buwis. Bakit humihingi ng buwis? Dahil ang pagbabayad ng buwis sa hari ng Espanya, kahit ilang barya lang, ay nagpapatunay na nagpapasakop tayo sa kanyang pagiging hari. Kaya ang pagbibigay natin ng tithe to the Lord’s work is an act of submission, parang buwis natin yun. Nagpapasakop tayo tanda sa pagkilala sa Kanyang awtoridad. Kaya kung kinikilala natin ang Diyos na ating hari, nagbibigay tayo ng ating tithes and offering as a token of our submission. ...
