Pastor Lapiz's Teachings

Be selective. Piliin ang dadaluhan, pakikinggan at susundin. Salain ang content ng turo nila kung talagang biblical at KUNG BAGAY SA CULTURE NATIN.

UTANG NA LOOB IS FOREVER kung yung tumulong sa iyo noon ay: 1.        patuloy pa ring tumutulong sa iyo. 2.        Hindi ka pa naman “nakakabayad”/nakakapagsukli ng kabutihan o kaunti pa lang”naibabayad” mo. 3.        Patuloy na mabuti sa iyo kahit nagbabayad-bayad ka. 4.        Hindi na nakatutulong sa iyo pero wala namang ginawang major masama sa iyo. So, sa balance, may utang ka pa rin. UTANG NA LOOB IS NOT FOREVER kung: 1.        ang dami mo nang “naibayad” tapos may ginawa/nagawa nang masama o pang-aabuso sa iyo ang concerned. 2.        Ginagamit yun ng concerned para ka abusuhin, kontrolin, kawawain. Magsukli ka ng marami, then move on on. Hindi lubos na nababayaran ang utang na loob pero at least dahil sa bad behavior nya at dahil sa naisukli mo na, medyo bayad ka na nun. Pwede nang mag-go...

People fear death because they think of themselves as a body with a spirit and that at death, the spirit leaves the body so it dies, decays, gets buried or cremated, etc. They are so attached to the body that at death, they identify with the body and not with the spirit. Think the other way, You are a spirit with a body; at death, the spirit is set free from the body and leaves it to reunite with God. Identify more with the spirit and you will not fear death.

More than or beyond MALAS NA TAO, I have observed that it is really more of CHARACTER. Marami sa mga sinasabing “malas, laging nadudukutan” ay kadalasan burara. Hindi maingat sa gamit. Ganun di yung “malas, laging nawawalan/nananakawan.” Yung “malas, laging natatanggal sa trabaho” madalas ay tamad, pala-away o kulang sa husay. Yung “malas sa pag-ibi” kadalasan ay hindi mapili o masyadong bigay na bigay, etc. Yung “malas sa negosyo” madalas ay hindi masyadong nag-aaral bago pasukin ang isang negosyo o hindi mapili sa partners. Kahit yung sinasabing “GREEN THUMB” o “swerteng maghalaman,” “malamig ang kamay sa halaman” ay, sa tingin ko, mahusay lang mag-alaga ng halamn. Ngayon, yung “malas na pangyayari,” mas maniniwala pa ako. Sinabi yan ni Solomon sa Ecclesiastes 9:11 Here is something else I have learned: The fastest runners and the greatest heroes don’t always win races and battles. Wisdom, intelligence and skill don’t always make you healthy, rich or popular. We each ha...

1.        A rapacious, selfish and greedy elite. 2.        Pasaway, selfish, law-breaking, vote-selling masa. 3.        Outdated, imperious, backward, feudal, pakialamero churches. 4.        Uncaring, pakitang-tao, bantay-salakay vote-buying politicians. 5.        Exploitative and opportunist foreigners-at-heart who are Filipino citizens for convenience and in passports only. 6.        A colonialists, self-degrading, slave-producing, unpatriotic, educational system. 7.        A sensationalist, irresponsible, ignorance-promoting, crassly mukhang pera/rating media na walang malasakit sa imahen ng bayan. Bubulatlatin ang bituka ng bayan at ibubuyangyang ang mga kapintasan ng bayan para lang maka-scoop. Nakaka-demoralize, causing Filipinos to lose faith in and to be ashame...

Attend a reputable, non-denominational, objective, unbiased Bible School. Self study. Be open-minded. Do not instantly reject new or different ideas but seriously study them? Avoid generalization of ideas as bad, evil, demonic, satanic, etc. or holy, inspired, anointed? Suriin munang mabuti. Do not be obsessed with winning an argument but be interested to learn from the other person.

Eh paano ka nga makaiipon eh ipinamigay mo na yatang lahat? Pag ganyan ka ka-generous, you need a sideline for extra income. Pero ang ipon mo so far, gratitude and pleasure ng mga binibigyan mo, honor and glory of God and lots of ipon/savings na treasures in heaven.

Change your: Chemistry. Eat something you like. Have a drink (never alcoholic: mas lalala). If a doctor or psychiatrist would prescribe some medicine, usually anti-depressant that could help. Kinetics. Move. Walk. Run. Exercise. Swim. Take a shower. Environment. Get out of the room/house/building. Social configuration. Talk with someone you enjoy talking with. Get involved with other people, like in organizations, activities, projects. Spiritual condition. Pray. Seek peace. Commune with God. Do not isolate yourself. If being alone is unavoidable, entertain yourself. Watch some comedy. Play some upbeat music. Let go of anger, bitterness, resentment by forgiving those who have hurt you. Take care of yourself more. Like yourself more. Forgive yourself if you have committed something you now feel bad about. Pag dumadapo ang lungkot, itaboy mo! Change the topic. Change the scenery. If persistent, consult a psychologist or a doctor.

Ano ba naman ang mawawala sa iyo kung makikisama sa isang gawain once a year? Kaysa naman masira ang relasyon mo sa mga nabubuhay?!
