Choose Christ
Erika Kirk delivered an excellent message last Sunday (Saturday sa USA). I have been blogging some of the highlights.
Today, I wanted to focus on choosing Christ.
The accompanying picture closely resembled Paul's statement in Philippians 4:8. It is not about being a positive thinker. It is about intentionally focusing on virtue rather than vice.
And in Erika's quote, the highest is choosing Christ. Anyone, even unbelievers can choose prayer, courage, beauty, adventure and family, and even faith (that is religious beliefs) But only a Christian can intentionally and continually choose Christ.
Every day we're faced with choices. Our decisions reflect our priorities and values. Do we intentionally choose Christ and His values over the world's? Do we choose Christ even if it means loneliness because you will lose friends? Do we choose Christ even if it means no promotion because you won't compromise your beliefs? Do we choose Christ over our own fleshly desires? After all no one is looking!
Our answers depend on what we value most. Some day we shine as bright as the sun, other days we dim and compromise. Growth happened over a period of time and no matter the past decisions, I am praying that we consistently choose to be with Christ, even if sometimes we fail.
We may be faithless but He always remains faithful. Wag nating gawing license ito upang magpakasasa sa laman.
Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina.
(Kung gusto ninyo ng karagdagang impormasyon, bisitahin ninyo kami. May pagtitipon kami sa Dahat, kada Linggo, kada 1:00-3:00 pm. Sana manampalataya kayo at kita-kita tayo.
Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan.
Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
