  Two days after magtapos ng senior high, binuo ng aking anak ang apat na laruan. Napabilib ako dahil mabusisi at maliliit ang mga piyesa ng laruan. Flex ko lang ang gawa niya rito: ( https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19sMy4FA9F/ ). Paano niya ito nabuo? Maingat niyang binasa at sinunod ang instructions na kasama sa kahon. Without that instructional manual, malabong mabuo ang mga laruan.  Sinumang nag-attempt na buuin ang laruan nang hindi kinokunsulta ang instructional manual ay siguradong mabibigo. Marahil pagtatawanan siya sa putilidad ng kaniyang ginagawa.  Instinctively binabasa natin ang manual kapag may bago tayong biling gamit. Sayang kung hindi ito mapakinabangan dahil sa maling assembly o maling gamit.  Yet, millions, and probably billions, are engaged in the futile exercise of building marriage and family without consulting the Author of the institution. God is the Author of the institution. He has the final say on how marriage and family work.  As Chr...

  Kung regular kang nagbabasa ng blog na ito (I don't presume you do), alam ninyong I am a fornicator. I didn't start my marriage life well. As a result, naghirap kami sa panimula ng aming buhay mag-asawa. Ang isang talong ay ulam namin sa tanghalian at sa hapunan. Sa pananghalian, ang kalahating talong ay hombura ; sa hapunan ay ensalada .  But God is faithful. I am a sinner and He is gracious. When I confessed my sins to him (not to a human priest), He forgave and cleansed me. By studying His Word, I started to make right decisions. Life is still difficult today but I am confident that God will walk with me now that I am back in fellowship with Him.  May mga panahong akala namin ay hindi kami aabutin ng umaga. Maraming bilihin, maraming bayarin, hindi namin alam kung saan kami lalapit. Yet 19 years later, here we are. Nasa kolehiyo na ang aming panganay at ang bunso ay katatapos pa lang ng senior highschool (March 30, 2026). God has been faithful these 19 years.  1...

  In Daniel 5 , we have a very foolish king, Belshassar . He's surrounded by the Medeans and Caldeans. Instead of preparing for the siege, he chose to party. In addition, he chose to blaspheme the living God. That same night, as interpreted by Daniel, the city was taken and he was killed.  Madali sa ating hatulan si Belshassar. What was he thinking? Didn't he know the importance of planning ahead?  Yet millions and even billions of people are on the way to a far terrible future and most are not preparing. Like Belshassar, they chose to party, to eat, drink and be merry. They marry and they are given in marriage. The world is oblivious to the danger ahead.  There is a lake of fire waiting for anyone who died without Christ .  Instead of preparing for that disaster, the majority are living a life that has no God in it. Even those who claimed to believe in God live as if He didn't exist. Lasciviousness and licentiousness are the order of the day.  Many of tho...

  John 16:33 [33]These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. Ang mundo ay nababalot ng pag-aalala. Ang digmaan sa Iran ay nagresulta sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langit at kaakibat nito ang pagtaas ng pamasahe at mga bilihin. Hindi nalalayong magmahal ang kuryente (o baka magkaroon pa ng malawakang power outage) at ang lalong pagbaba ng kakayahan ng pisong bumili.  Ngunit ang Cristiano ay hindi kailangang magpanik. Taglay natin ang kapayapaan ni Cristo. Ito ang mag-iingat sa ating isipan at saloobin. Iyon ay kung handa tayong panghawakan ito sa pananampalataya. Ang Cristianong lumalago sa pananampalataya ay may balong paghuhugutan ng kapayapaan. Habang natataranta ang sanlibutan, ang Cristiano ay may panloob na kapayapaang mababakas sa kaniyang pang-araw-araw na gawi.  Hindi siya nagpadadala sa takot. Hindi siya nadadala ng discouragement. Handa siyang humarao sa mga pa...

  This week the world will commemorate the suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Christ. I am not really a fan of rituals but the Holy Week is one of the few that I think should be adopted by Christians.  Sure there are many unbiblical practices that surrounded the week. Redeeming the culture means adopting what can be reconciled with our Christian convictions and rejecting those that contradict it.  Jesus suffered and died at the Cross not for His own sins. He is sinless and impeccable. He died because He became the world's substitute. Let's make it personal. He died for me. If I am the only person in the world or if I am the only sinner in the world, He'll still die for me! How could I not value Him who died for me?  He died to remove the barrier of sin. No one will go to hell because of sins. He'll go to hell for rejecting Jesus Christ.  Anyone who depends on his own merit, on his own righteousness, on his own religion, on his own works to earn eterna...

  James 5:19-20 [19]My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, [20]let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. Malinaw ang Kasulatan: may kasalanang nagreresulta sa kamatayan. In fact ayon sa James 1:15 , ang bunga ng kasalanan ay kamatayan.  Yes, this can include physical death. This is not just a metaphorical death-like existence. This is dead, as in dead dead.  And if you love your straying brother, you'll talk to him and turn him away from the error of his way. James said that this will save his soulife from death.  So this summer vacation, use the time to visit brothers and sisters who have been away from the church. Who knows if an encouragement is what they need to be back on track.  Kakaunti lamang tayong mga Cristiano . If we're not our brothers' keepers , lalo tayong uunti. Tayo ang dapat magmalasakitan sa bawat isa.  Chat them...

  John 14:6 [6]Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. All the founders of the religions of this world are dead. They stay dead. Only Jesus rose again.  These teachers point to someone or something as the way. They are not the way. They cannot claim to be the way. In fact they don't know if they made it. All they can hope for is their good outweigh their bad and maybe it is sufficient to bring them eternal life.  Unlike them, Jesus point to Himself as the Way. Only He can claim to be the Way. Apart from Him no one can come to the Father.  He did the work of salvation. He gave His life at the Cross as propitiation for our sins . He was buried and then rose again. In so doing, He removed sin as a barrier between God and man. No man will go to the Lake of Fire because of sin. The only reason a person will go to the Lake of Fire is if he rejected Christ as Savior .  The only condition to have etern...

  Isang araw, dalawang libong taon na ang nakaraan, ang Anak ng Diyos ay pinako sa krus. Namatay Siya hindi dahil Siya ay masamang tao. Namatay Siya upang bayaran ang kasalanan ng sanlibutan .  Ang awtor ng buhay ay ibinigay ang Kaniyang buhay sa krus upang ang sinumang patay espirituwal na manampalataya sa Kaniya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan .  Namatay Siya upang ang mga patay sa kasalanan at patungo sa lawa ng apoy ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan at makasama Niya magpakailan man sa Kaluwalhatian.  Namatay Siya upang alisin ang hadlang ng kasalanan. Walang sinumang pupunta sa impiyerno nang dahil sa kasalanan. Binayaran iyan ni Cristo sa krus. Ang tanging dahilan kung bakit may pupunta sa impiyerno ay hindi siya nanampalataya kay Cristo para sa buhay na walang hanggan.  Ang nag-iisang kundisyon upang magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan ay manampalataya kay Cristo. Hindi ang umanib sa relihiyon o gumawa nang katuwiran. Maaaring nakatutulon...

  May batang naglalakad sa dilim. Normally takot siya sa dilim ngunit dahil kasama niya ang kaniyang kuya, matapang siya. Alam niyang hindi siya pababayaan ni kuya.  Spiritually speaking, ang mga Cristiano ay namumuhay sa gitna ng kadiliman ng sanlibutan ito. Ang bawat mananampalataya kay Cristo ay mga ilaw ng sanlibutan ngunit kung hindi tayo maingat, papatayin ng dilim ang ating ilaw.  Ngunit kung aware tayo laging kasama natin si Jesus , ang Kuya sa kapatirang espirituwal, hindi tayo matatakot. Alam nating hindi Niya tayo pababayaan.  Sinuman ang ating makasalubong, anuman ang ating makaharap... hindi Niya tayo iiwan. Iyan ang Kaniyang pangako at tinutupad Niya ang Kaniyang salita.  Minsan natutukso tayong mag-alinlangan sa Kaniyang Salita . Huwag. Hindi gaya ng ordinaryong taong madalas mapako ang pangako, hinding hindi iiwan ni Jesus ang Cristiano.  Dahil dito, lumalakad tayo nang may kumpiyansa. Alam nating mayroon tayong malalapitan. Alam nating ma...
