May ibong matagal nang nakakulong sa hawla. Araw-araw siyang umiikot lang sa maliit na espasyo. Pero isang araw, binuksan ang pinto ng hawla. Malaya na siya. Pero hindi siya lumipad. Nanatili siya sa loob. Bakit? Kasi hindi niya alam na malaya na siya.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Balang araw, papawiin ng Diyos ang lahat ng luha, at itatama Niya ang lahat ng mali. Pero habang nandito pa tayo sa mundo, kumapit tayo sa promise na ito: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, NIV).All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Mahirap intindihin pero malinaw sa Biblia. Sa Mateo 3:16–17, makikita natin ang Ama na nagsasalita mula sa langit, ang Anak na nasa tubig, at ang Espiritu Santo na bumaba tulad ng kalapati. Tatlong persona, isang Diyos.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Madalas tayong naghahanap ng paliwanag para sa lahat, pero hindi natin kailangang maintindihan ang lahat para maniwala. Ang mahalaga ay kilalanin natin ang Diyos na lumikha sa atin at may plano para sa buhay natin.​All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Narinig mo na ba ang phrase, “As you rest, God will do the rest”? Madaling sabihin, hindi madaling gawin lalo na kung madalas tayong nagmamadali para matapos ang deadlines. Whether you are a worker, a student, or just a person who wants to finish your daily tasks, we all have the same amount of time: 24 hours per day. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Noong araw ay uso na ang leadership and management na kadalasang natututunan sa school of life — 'yung lumaking nagmamatyag sa gawain at nagha-hands-on training at tumatanggap ng wise counsel sa mga nakakatanda tungkol sa kung ano ang dapat gawin.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Realizing that not all families are healthy and everyone may have a burden he or she is carrying should make us more sensitive to the world around us. Everyone is, in one way or the other, dealing with challenges.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God warns His children through His Word, which is meant to protect and not to complicate life. His Word gives hope and wisdom to those who believe. Do you believe God's reminders are for your own good?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

It's hard to lead a double life tulad ni Tait na nagsinungaling sa kanyang pamilya, mga kaibigan at fans, even to his bandmates. His God-honoring ways on stage did not match what he was actually doing every day away from people's eyes. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

As a loving Father, priority ni God ang lahat ng anak Niya. Wala Siyang iniiwan, wala Siyang pinapabayaan. Pero sana maintindihan din natin na ang concern ni Lord ay magkaroon tayo ng loving, lasting, trusting relationship with Him. Is that also our priority?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Meron ka rin bang hinihintay na kasagutan sa matagal mo nang panalangin? Gaya ni Jelo, puwedeng may mabago kung mananalangin ka ayon sa kalooban ng ating Panginoon. A lot of times, may mga gusto kang mangyari sa buhay mo. Ngunit napakagandang maalala na higit na mas maganda ang plano ng Diyos para sa iyo. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Maybe you also feel like an “extra” in someone else's story. Hindi ikaw ang kumakanta sa stage pero you prepare the lyrics guide for the singers. Hindi ikaw ang nagpupunta sa bundok para i-share ang gospel pero nagpapaabot ka ng financial help para may makapunta roon. You may feel unnoticed but your role matters.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Sino ang BFF mo? Matagal mo na ba siyang kakilala, like from your childhood days? O naging close kayo dahil sa inyong trabaho o 'di kaya ay magkasama kayo sa Bible study group?

Be intentional with the use of our bodies. Do we use our strength and energy to help others in need? What about the way we dress? Do we make sure we do not cause anyone to be tempted by avoiding revealing clothes? Let's remember the Apostle Paul's advice and honor God with our bodies. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

How many times should you forgive a person? Para sa marami, once is enough. Kapag umulit ka pa, cancelled ka na. Akala nila, ang hindi pagpapatawad ang magbibigay sa kanila ng kalayaan para makalimot at makapag-move on. But is that really true?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God is the God of restoration. In His own time and in His own way, kaya Niyang ibalik ang nawala sa atin. Hindi man sa paraang gusto o inakala natin, pero laging mas mabuti ang ibibigay Niya sa atin.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you don't belong there? Wala kang kakilala o di kaya'y you felt out of place?

Do you believe in miracles? Of all the miracles that Jesus did while He was still here on earth, which one immediately comes to mind? Is it the one where He raised the dead, calmed the storm, or healed the sick? These are some of His most commonlyknown miracles.

More than 20 years na si Beth sa kumpanya. Masinop at hindi mareklamo sa trabaho kaya nang mag-retire siya, bukod sa retirement package, binigyan siya ng free weekend getaway for two.

We can be compared to EV cars. Hindi natin kayang mag go-go-go lang without recharging. Physically, kailangan natin ang self-care kung saan ay meron tayong sapat na tulog, pagkain at exercise or other activities that increase our heart rate.

Akala natin sinusubok tayo kapag nakakaranas tayo ng failure. Pero pati pala ang success, isang test din. Naka-focus pa ba tayo kay Lord o sa sarili natin? Paano kaya tayo hindi matutulad kay Uzias?

Sa corporate setup, may mga company na liability ang tingin sa isang babae kapag naging isang ina.

Totoo bang nabuhay muli si Jesus? Hindi ito fairytale. Hindi rin urban legend. Sa dami ng tanong ngayon sa mundo, ito siguro ang pinaka-crucial na tanong ng Cristianismo. Kasi kung hindi Siya nabuhay muli, balewala ang lahat — ang Bible, ang simbahan, ang pananampalataya natin.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Sadly, many of us are prone to acting like Lynette and the nine healed lepers.

Waiting on God doesn't mean He's not moving. Minsan, hindi lang talaga ito dumarating sa paraang inaasahan natin. It's in the waiting that He's doing His deepest work.

Hindi dinisenyo ng Diyos na maging mahirap ang buhay. God created a perfect life for Adam and Eve with Him in the Garden of Eden. They had everything they needed in paradise, but when they disobeyed God, sin ruined everything.

Sa buhay, may mga pagsubok tayong pagdaraanan na maikukumpara natin  sa isang bundok na sobrang hirap akyatin. The feeling of uncertainty can sometimes create fear in our hearts that can paralyze us.

What is the first thing you do as soon as you wake up? Check your phone? Rush to work or school?

Working to earn an honest living is definitely something to be more proud of than earning money from deceitful means. Ang motivation  natin ay ang magtrabaho nang buong sipag at tapat. Why?

Who has not dreamed of becoming a prince or princess in real life?

Have you been feeling a little bit more thirsty since summer is here? Drinking water is a necessity because it plays a big role in keeping us healthy. Nowadays, getting water is a lot easier compared with how they did it in the Bible times, just like in the story told in today's passage. There's actually more to discover in the story of the Samaritan woman who came to the well for  water. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Madalas, isa sa mga pinakamalaking tanong na bumabagabag sa isip ng marami ay ito: “Paano ba talaga ako maliligtas? Sapat na ba ang maniwala lang, o kailangan ko pa bang gumawa ng maraming kabutihan para maging karapat-dapat sa Diyos?” Maraming tao ang lumalaki sa ideya na ang kaligtasan ay parang isang timbangan — kung mas marami ang mabuting gawa mo kaysa sa masama, doon ka maliligtas. Pero totoo ba ito?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Bakit ito kapangyarihan? Dahil ang gospel ang sagot ng Diyos sa problema ng kasalanan. Ang gospel ang mensahe ng Diyos para muling makalapit tayo sa Kanya. Ito ang magandang balita: Tayo ay nagkasala at hindi natin kayang iligtas ang ating sarili, kaya si Jesus ay namatay sa krus para bayaran ang ating mga kasalanan at  buhayin tayong muliAll Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Madalas, naririnig natin ang tanong na, "Bakit ko kailangan ng pagliligtas? Hindi naman ako masamang tao. Ginagawa ko naman ang tama, at sinisikap kong maging mabait sa kapwa." At totoo, marami sa atin ang nagsisikap na mamuhay nang maayos, na may mabuting puso. Pero kung titingnan natin ang tanong na ito mula sa pananaw ng Diyos, makikita natin ang isang mas malalim na katotohanan. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

New season. New beginnings. A good future. A happy family. A healthy well-being. Ilan lamang iyan sa mga pinapangarap ng marami sa atin. Added to these, we might have a “bucket list” o mga bagay na gusto nating magawa bago tayo mamatay. These are the things — possessions or circumstances — that, we think,  will make our lives better. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Naitanong mo na ba kung naririnig talaga ni Lord ang prayers mo? Bakit kaya ‘yung ibang tao, isang pray lang nila, may sagot agad? Why does it seem like God is giving you the silent treatment?
