Dati na po akong nagbibigay ng tithes dahil may trabaho ako, eh ngayon po umaasa lang ako sa social welfare benefit dahil unemployed ako ngayon. Dapat ko po bang ituloy ang pagbibigay ng tithe?

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...

Prepare For and Expect Disappointment

   Another way to prevent anger is by preparing for and expecting disappointment. Expect to be frustrated because of other people's mistakes, carelessness, shortcomings and selfishness resulting from a sinful nature. Prepare yourself for the worst when dealing with people. Decide beforehand how you would react  and act towards them. Kung nagpautang ka sa isang tao, i-prepare mo na ang sarili mo na baka hindi ka nya bayaran. Anong gagawain mo ngayon? Papatawarin mo na lang kasi pag hindi ka willing magpatawad, huwag ka na lang magpautang in the first place. Maraming tao ang hindi nagbabayad, so prepare yourself for this. Nasabi mo tuloy: "Sabi ko na nga ba, e.* Hindi naman abnormal na natural ka dahil handa ka nang ma-disappoint at di ka na surprised. Whenever you ask people to do something, expect that they might not able to do it. We are not saying this so that people might be tolerated not to perform well. No, but that there must be some reservation in our hearts for pe...

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...
