  2 Peter 2:7 [7]and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men... I will be honest: kung ang pagbabasehan ko lang ay ang kwento ni Lot sa Genesis 11-19, hindi ko iisiping si Lot ay matuwid. Ngunit dahil sa ang Kasulatan ay hindi nagkakamali dahil sa ito ay kinasihan ng Espiritu Santo, wala akong magagawa kung hindi tanggaping matuwid si Lot.  Nagsimula ang kwento ni Lot sa Genesis 11 nang isama ni Abram (later Abraham) sa kaniyang paglisan sa Ur ng Caldea. One can say that this is partial disobedience sa parte ni Abram, something na hindi inutos ng Diyos dahil hindi naman si Lot bahagi ng sambahayan niya. Maybe kung hindi niya dinala si Lot, baka naiwasan niya ang maraming heart breaks nang paghahati ng lupain, ang nesesidad na saklolohan siya nang maging bihag ng digmaan at marahil hindi siya madaramay sa kalagayan ng Sodoma at Gomora. Marahil nahipo ng compassion si Abram. Ayaw niyang maiwan si Lot na nag-iisang manampalataya sa Ur. ...

  1 Kings 3:6-9 [6]Then Solomon said, "You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. [7]Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. [8]Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted. [9]So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" Ecclesiastes 1:2 [2]"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity." Consider these two statements. They are made by the same person, several decades apart. The diffe...

  This is the 6th installment of prayes, Nieto-style.  After praying for the (my) enemies, I prayed na ang mga local churches (in our immediate fellowship) na maging mga ilawan at haligi ng katotohanan sa kanilang mga komunidad na kinalalagyan. I would like to pray for all churches by name but that is imposible, so I limited myself to 4 or 5 I knew were of the same mind. I prayed that whatever I prayed for these local churches are also true for other local churches that named Christ as the only Savior.  Then I prayed for international and foreign ministries. Isa sa mga blessings ng FB ay nakilala ko ang maraming foreign ministries and ministers na may malayong abot. Hindi man namin maabot ang kanilang mga lugar, through prayers I am hoping that we can join in their ministries. I prayed na mas marami silang unbelievers na maabot ng gospel at maraming believers ang madala nila sa maturity through their Bible teaching ministries.  I also prayed for local propagation of ...

  1 Kings 11:31-39 [31]He said to Jeroboam , "Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and give you ten tribes [32](but he will have one tribe, for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel), [33]because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did. [34]Nevertheless I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who observed My commandments and My statutes; [35]but I will take the kingdom from his son's hand and give it to you, even ten tribes. [36]But to his son I wi...

  Matthew 5:10-12,44-45 [10]"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11]"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. [12]Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Disciples and the World [44]But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45]so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 1 Peter 3:8-9 [8]To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; [9]not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. This is the 5th instalment of prayers, Nieto-style...

  Ituloy natin ang 4th installment ng prayers, Nieto-style .  Matapos kong ipagdasal ang aking immediate family, sunod ko namang ipinagdarasal ang aking spiritual family, ang mga kapatid sa Panginoon .  Sa mga kumukuwestiyon kung bakit inuuna ko ang aking pamilya kaysa sa simbahan, well they're the closest and dearest to me and I won't apologize. Secondly, they are not only family members, they are brother and sisters in Christ. I mean I personally evangelize and lead my own children to faith in Christ when they were elementary. I baptized them both. Every father should evangelize and baptize their own children.  Yes sinabi ko iyan at titindigan ko iyan.  I started with prayers for the brothers and sisters in Dahat , Amoguis, Palayan/Maysalay, May-Suwa and Agosais. We have brothers and sisters meeting in these places. I am sure there are many other Christians gathering elsewhere but it is other Christians responsibility to pray for them. Hinihiling kong ang mga ...

  "God failed me. Iniwan na Niya ako." These are words na hindi dapat marinig mula sa mga Cristiano. Unfortunately maraming Cristianong nagbitaw ng ganitong mga pananalita. Sa gitna ng kanilang nararamdamang kirot, hindi nila maunawaan kung nasaan ang Diyos.  Mayroon ding hindi nagbitiw ng ganitong pananalita ngunit sa isipan ay sinisisi ang Diyos sa mga nangyari.  Most of the times, we don't mean it. Nasabi lang natin ito because we're hurting. I believe that God understands. Ang Awit ay puno ng hinaing ng mga mananampalataya mula sa kanilang mga puso.  Ngunit mayroong nagbitiw ng ganitong pananalita hindi dahil sa pain but they reject Him. Long after the pain is gone, when they have the time to reflect, they conclude, God failed them. Tinalikuran sila ng Diyos and they wonder kung ito na ba ang time para talikuran na rin Siya.  I believe this is more serious. And most of the time it is because we don't know the whole story.  We can only see a portion of ...

  This will be my third installment on prayers, Nieto-style .  Gaya ng nasabi ko sa nakaraang blog, ang unang isang oras ng aking umaga ay maikling (napakaikli) prayer ng pasasalamat at mahabang pag-aaral at pagbabahagi sa FB ng Salita ng Diyos .  Ang aking prayers ay madalas kong ginagawa bago ang unang subject na aking tinuturuan. I find this the best for my schedule.  This works for me. This may not work for you.  So anong laman ng aking prayers?  I started with praying for my immediate family. They are the closest to me at sabi nga ng Nescafe, dahilang kung bakit ako bumabangon. So it makes sense na sila ang una kong pinanalangin.  Hinihiling ko sa Amang balutin sila ng biyaya at pag-ibig. Itinataas ko sila sa Ama dahil alam kong on my own, I cannot keep them safe and well provided. I need the Father's grace and power for that.  Hinihiling kong bigyan ng strength and endurance ng Ama ang aking misis upang magampanan ang kaniyang obligasyon sa ...

  Minsan gigil tayong magbahagi ng Salita ng Diyos . Talo pa natin ang nakikipag-away sa kalsada.  Don't get me wrong, natutuwa akong maibahagi ang mensahe ng buhay na walang hanggan . Ngunit sa harap pa ng agresibo at grace-less na sharing of the gospel , minsan napapaisip ako kung mas marami pang damage ang dala nito kaysa sa benefits.  May mga tao akong nakasalamuha na sa halip na lumambot ang puso sa evangelio ay lalo pang tumigas laban dito dahil sa grace-less na sharing. Yung isa kung nakasama, sinisigawan na ang kausap. Yung isa nakikidebate na. May nakita rin akong gusto nang idukdok ang Biblia sa mukha ng kausap. Ang sabi ng kausap, "Kapatid hindi naman kita inimbitahan sa bahay!" Marahil dala lang ito ng excitement. Marahil dala ng immaturity kung saan iniisip nating ang may pinakamaraming nasabi ang panalo. O marahil iniisip nating nakasalalay sa ating galing ang kaligtasan ng ating kausap.  Let us be careful not to win the battle but lose the war ! Maaar...
