Sa maraming lugar sa mundo, ang pagiging Kristiyano ay simpleng bahagi lang ng buhay. Pero sa Nigeria, ang pagsusuot ng krus o ang pagpunta sa simbahan tuwing Linggo ay maaaring maglagay sa iyo sa panganib. Halos araw-araw, may mga ulat ng mga simbahan na sinusunog, mga pari na kinikidnap, at mga komunidad na sinisira ng karahasan. Ayon sa Open Doors World Watch List, mas maraming Kristiyano ang pinapatay dahil sa kanilang pananampalataya sa Nigeria kaysa sa kahit anong bansa sa mundo. Sa gitna ng banta mula sa mga grupong tulad ng Boko Haram at iba pang militanteng grupo, tila imposible na mabuhay ang Kristiyanismo sa bansang ito. Pero dito nagiging mas nakakagulat ang kwento. Sa kabila ng persecution, ang Simbahang Katoliko sa Nigeria ay hindi humihina — lalo pa itong lumalago. Punong-puno ang mga simbahan. Dumarami ang mga seminarista. At ang bansa ay nagiging isa sa mga pinakamalaking sentro ng Katolisismo sa buong Africa. Paano nangyayari ito? Sa episode na ito, pag-uusapan natin: ✝️ Bakit napakadelikado maging Kristiyano sa Nigeria ✝️ Ang mga grupong responsable sa maraming pag-atake ✝️ Ang nakakagulat na paglago ng Simbahang Katoliko sa kabila ng persecution ✝️ At ang 3 dahilan kung bakit lalong tumitibay ang pananampalataya ng mga Kristiyano doon Ang kwentong ito ay isang matinding paalala ng sinabi ng sinaunang Kristiyanong manunulat na si Tertullian: "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." Kung gusto mong malaman kung paano lumalago ang pananampalataya sa gitna ng panganib, watch until the end.

Maraming Pilipino ang lumaki na may naririnig na ganito: “Dapat binyagan agad ang baby, kung hindi baka maging tiyanak.” Pero pagdating sa usapang pananampalataya, may ibang nagsasabi na mali daw ang pagbibinyag sa mga sanggol. Ayon sa ilang Born Again Christians, kailangan muna daw ng personal profession of faith bago mabinyagan—at dahil hindi pa kayang magsalita ng baby, hindi daw dapat sila binibinyagan. Pero totoo nga ba iyon? Sa video na ito, ipapaliwanag natin ang 3 malinaw na dahilan kung bakit tama at makabuluhan ang pagbibinyag sa mga sanggol ayon sa pananampalatayang Katoliko. Pag-uusapan natin: • Ano ang ginagawa ng unang mga Kristiyano tungkol sa pagbinyag ng buong pamilya • Ano ang mga talata sa Bibliya na sumusuporta sa infant baptism • At ang pinakamalalim na dahilan kung bakit ang pagbinyag ng sanggol ay isang malinaw na patunay na ang kaligtasan ay biyaya ng Diyos At kung makarating ka sa Reason #3, baka magulat ka—dahil kahit ang ilang Born Again Christians ay posibleng sumang-ayon sa puntong ito. Kung gusto mo ng mga videos na nagpapaliwanag ng Catholic faith sa simple at malinaw na paraan, consider subscribing to the channel. Ang mission natin dito ay simple lang: Gawing viral ang pananampalatayang Katoliko.

Bakit dapat bigyan ng oras ang pambababae at hindi puro diskarte lang

Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with that person.” Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? “Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen, yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:1-17 (NRSVUE) Tayo at si Nikodemo Sa ating pagbasa, nakatagpo ni Hesus si Nikodemo sa gitna ng kadiliman. Si Nikodemo ay isang taong may mataas na katayuan ngunit may dalang mga tanong na hindi masagot ng kanyang tradisyon. Sinabi sa kanya ni Hesus, “Maliban na ang tao ay ipanganak na muli, hindi siya makakakita ng kaharian ng Diyos.” Bilang isang Katoliko at Kristiyanong bakla, madalas kong nararamdaman na ako si Nikodemo. Sa Juan 3, pumunta siya kay Hesus sa ilalim ng takip ng gabi. Bakit gabi? Siguro dahil takot siya sa sasabihin ng kapwa niya Pariseo , o siguro dahil hindi pa niya kayang pangatawanan sa harap ng marami ang kuryosidad ng pananampalataya niya. Ganoon din ako; maraming tanong, maraming takot. Until now, hindi pa rin ako sigurado sa aking pananampalataya. Gayon din ang pakiramdam ko sa tuwing naririnig ko ang mga mapanghusgang salita sa paligid na nagsasabing mali ako, makasalanan ako, at hindi karapat-dapat. Ang mga salitang ito ay parang kadiliman na nagpapalayo sa akin sa liwanag ng Diyos. Sa ating paglalakbay bilang mga LGBTQIA+ na mananampalataya, ang pag-uusap nina Hesus at Nikodemo ay tila isang salamin. Tulad ni Nikodemo, marami sa atin ang lumalapit sa Diyos sa gabi o sa gitna ng kadiliman , dala ng takot sa sasabihin ng iba , ng bigat ng ating pagkakakilanlan, at ng tanong na: “Tatanggapin ba ako? Karapat-dapat ba ako?”. Ang Tunay na Ibig Sabihin ng Muling Pagsilang Ang sagot ni Hesus ay hindi pagtataboy kundi isang paanyaya: “Kailangan kayong ipanganak na muli.” Ang muling pagsilang na ito ay hindi nangangahulugang kailangang burahin ang ating kulay. Sa halip, ito ay pagpapaubaya sa Banal na Espiritu na linisin ang ating paningin upang makita natin ang ating sarili ayon sa tingin ng Diyos : mahalaga, banal, at sapat. Ang konsepto ng muling pagsilang ay madalas gamitin laban sa atin upang sabihing kailangan nating magbago o itatwa ang ating tunay na pagkatao. Ngunit sa mas malalim na espiritwal na pag-unawa, ang muling pagsilang na tinutukoy ni Hesus ay hindi pagpatay sa ating katotohanan, kundi pagyakap sa ating banal na pagkakakilanlan bilang mga anak ng Diyos at malaya sa tanikala ng mapanghusgang mundo. Mahirap isabuhay ang gospel na ito sa mundong puno ng limitasyon. Ngunit dito pumapasok ang tunay na milagro ng Espiritu Santo. Aaminin ko, hindi madali. May mga araw na mabigat ang krus ng diskriminasyon at pagdududa. Subalit gaya ng hangin na binanggit sa bersikulo 8 na umiihip kung saan ito nais, ang Espiritu ng Diyos ay hindi nakakulong sa kahon ng tradisyon. Tuwing ako ay humihingi ng patnubay, ipinapaalala ng Diyos sa akin na ang Kanyang grasya ay sapat. Ang aking pagkatao ay hindi hadlang sa aking paglilingkod; ito ay aking natatanging paraan upang ipakita ang makulay at malawak na pag-ibig ng Maylikha. Hindi ako o tayo tinawag para maging perpekto ayon sa pamantayan ng tao, kundi para maging tapat sa ilalim ng biyaya. Paglilingkod sa Pamilya at Trabaho Ang paglilingkod ay hindi lamang ginagawa sa loob ng simbahan. Ito ay isinasabuhay natin sa bawat aspeto ng ating pang-araw-araw na pakikibaka. Sa Ating Pamilya: Madalas, sa pamilya tayo pinakahinahamon. Maraming mga kamag-anak na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin tanggap ang iyong katotohanan , kung saan minsan ay kailangan pa nating patunayan ang halaga sa kabila ng ating pagkakaiba. Naririnig natin ang mga patama sa hapag-kainan o nararamdamang tila may limitasyon ang pagmamahal nila sa iyo. Subalit sa kabila nito, pinipili nating manatiling mapagmahal na anak, kapatid, o kamag-anak. Kapag tayo ang unang tumutulong sa oras ng pangangailangan , o nag-aalaga sa mga magulang na may sakit nang walang pag-aalinlangan, ipinapakita natin ang gospel in action. Pinapatunayan natin na ang pag-ibig ng isang LGBTQIA+ member ay hindi nababawasan ng kanilang panghuhusga. Kahit inaalipusta at sinasaktan ng mga mahal natin sa buhay , kung kailangan nila ng tulong o aruga , tayo ang unang tutugon kahit tayo ay nasasaktan. ‘Yan ang pag-ibig na kaya nating ibigay, at ang tawag diyan ay grasya. Sa Ating Trabaho: Madalas tayong kailangang magtrabaho nang doble upang patunayan sa ating mga kasamahan ang ating halaga. Ang propesyonalismo ay hinahaluan natin ng pagtitimpi at pagmamahal kahit sa mga hindi nakakaunawa sa atin. Hinaharap natin ang mga micro-aggressions o ang pakiramdam na kailangang itago ang ilang bahagi ng ating sarili upang hindi mapag-usapan. Ang ating katapatan sa trabaho at pagiging go-to person sa ating mga kasamahan ay isang porma ng ministeryo. Sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mahusay at mabuting katrabaho, binabali natin ang mga maling akala. Naglilingkod tayo sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng dangal ayon sa ating propesyon , habang tahimik na nananalangin para sa mga kasamahang hindi pa bukas ang isipan. Ang Tahanan Natin sa Open Table MCC Lahat tayo—ako noon—ay takot at naghahanap ng isang community kung saan pwede tayong maging totoo sa ating pagkatao, kung saan tanggap tayo nang walang halong panghuhusga. Dito ako dinala sa simbahan ng Open Table MCC Manila pa noon, year 2000. (Kaya alam niyo na kung ilang taon na ako ngayon; siguro ako ang pinakamalapit nang maging ‘dalawang citizenship’) . Nang sabihin ni Hesus na kailangang ipanganak na muli, hindi Niya ibig sabihin na burahin natin kung sino tayo. Ang muling pagsilang ay ang pag-iwan sa mga lumang paniniwala na ang pag-ibig ng Diyos ay limitado lamang sa iilan. Sa Open Table MCC, natutunan ko na ang aking pagkatao bilang LGBT ay hindi hadlang kundi isang bahagi ng aking paglalakbay. Ang muling pagsilang para sa akin ay ang pagtanggap na tayo ay nilikha ng Diyos nang may layunin , at ang Kanyang Espiritu ay umiihip kung saan Nais Niya. Hindi ito nakakulong sa mga tradisyong puno ng poot. Dito sa ating komunidad, ang paglilingkod ay may ibang lalim. Ito ang ating tahanan kung saan ang pag-ibig ay walang pasubali. Dito natin nararamdaman na ang paglilingkod sa Diyos ay tunay na inklusibo. Juan 3:16-17: Sandigan ng Ating Pananampalataya Madalas gamitin ang Bibliya sa mga katulad natin para takutin tayo. Pero ang Juan 3:16-17 ang pinakamatibay nating sandigan. Actually, ito ‘yung gumising sa akin. Ito ‘yung nagbigay sa akin ng pundasyon na hawak ko until now , at sinasabi kong hinding-hindi ako magkakamali. “Sapagkat gayon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sanlibutan , pinadala Niya ang Kanyang Anak at kung sino man ang maniwala ay hindi Niya pababayaan at Kanyang ililigtas.” Hindi sinabi na gayon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa mga “diretso” ang buhay. Sinabi Niya, “sa lahat,” hindi lang sa iilan. Kasama ako doon, kasama ka doon, kasama tayong lahat. Ang salitang “sanlibutan” ay walang itinatangi; lahat ay yayakapin. At ang pinakamahalaga para sa ating mga nakaranas ng diskriminasyon ay ang talatang 17 : “Sapagkat hindi sinugo ng Diyos ang Anak sa sanlibutan upang hatulan ang sanlibutan, kundi upang ang sanlibutan ay maligtas sa pamamagitan Niya.” Ang Diyos mismo ay hindi naparito upang husgahan tayo. Kaya sino sa mga tao sa paligid natin ang may karapatang gawin ‘yon? Paglilingkod ng mga Sugatan Ang pagod mula sa labas ng mundo ay dinadala natin sa loob ng simbahan. Minsan, mahirap maglingkod kapag ikaw mismo ay sugatan. Hindi tumitigil ang ingay ng mundo kapag tayo ay papasok sa pinto ng simbahan. Bawat isa sa atin ay may dalang bigat na bagahe: mga mapanghusgang tingin mula sa trabaho, ang pagod ng pakikipagsapalaran sa sistemang hindi tayo laging kinikilala, at ang mga sugat ng nakaraan na tila ayaw maghilom. Napakahirap magbigay ng liwanag kung ang sarili mong mitsa ay halos mapundi na. Minsan ang paglilingkod ay nagiging isang pakikibaka. Paano ka aawit ng pag-asa kung ang puso mo ay puno ng pag-aalinlangan? Paano ka mag-aayos ng upuan para sa iba kung ikaw mismo ay naghahanap ng lugar na matitigilan? Ngunit dito papasok ang tunay na diwa ng grasya. Ang paglilingkod ay hindi nangangailangan ng pagiging perpekto. Ang ating mga sugat ay hindi hadlang sa ating ministeryo. Sa halip, ito ang nagbibigay sa atin ng lalim at malasakit na hindi matutumbasan ng sinumang hindi pa kailanman nasaktan. Sa loob ng simbahan, ang ating pagod ay kinikilala at ang ating sugat ay hinahayaang huminga—at damang-dama ko ‘yon dito sa Open Table MCC. Ang pag-aayos ng mga upuan ay hindi lamang paghahanda ng espasyo ; ito ay pagtiyak na mayroong lugar ang bawat ligaw na kaluluwa. Sa pag-awit sa koro o simpleng pagyakap sa isang bagong miyembro na takot at naghahanap ng pagtanggap , ikaw at ako ay nagiging daluyan ng muling pagsilang para sa iba. Isang Radikal na Akto ng Pag-ibig Ang Open Table MCC ay nagiging patunay na ang Diyos ay hindi limitado ng pader ng tradisyon. Ang paglilingkod natin dito ay isang deklarasyon : Narito ako, narito tayo, tinawag ng Diyos at karapat-dapat. Ang bawat maliit na gawain sa loob ng simbahan ay isang radikal na akto ng pag-ibig. Ang pag-awit sa koro ay hindi lamang paglabas ng himig ; ito ay pagpaparinig ng boses na minsang pinatahimik ng tradisyon. Kapag niyakap mo ang isang bagong miyembro na puno ng takot at pag-aalinlangan, hindi mo lang siya tinatanggap sa isang organisasyon ; ibinabalik mo sa kanya ang kanyang dignidad. Ang komunidad na ito ay isang buhay na patunay na ang pag-ibig ng Diyos ay parang karagatan na hindi kayang ikulong ng mga makitid na doktrina. Ang ating paglilingkod ay isang matapang na deklarasyon laban sa lahat na nagsabing ikaw ay kulang o mali. Sa bawat pagkakataon na ikaw ay tumitindig para sa iba , sinasabi mo sa mundo: “Narito ako, hindi dahil sa pahintulot ng tao kundi dahil sa tawag ng Diyos. Ako ay buo, ako ay pinili, at ako ay karapat-dapat.” Hindi madaling maging asin at ilaw sa mundong madalas ay ayaw tayong pasikatin. Ngunit ang muling pagsilang sa Espiritu ay nangangahulugan na hindi tayo umaasa sa sariling lakas. Tuwing nararamdaman mo ang pagod, tandaan mo ang hangin—ang Espiritu ay umiihip kung saan Ito nais. Hayaan mong tangayin ka ng hanging ito patungo sa mga taong nangangailangan ng iyong kalinga. Ang iyong pagkatao ay hindi hadlang ; ito ay natatanging paraan upang ipakita ang grasya ng Diyos para sa lahat. The post Muling Pagsilang appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

Much has been said about Alvin Aragon — at oo, gumawa pa kami ng 3-part series sa The Sentinel Ph para himayin ang issue. Check it out after watching this video. Pero sa episode na ito, iba ang focus natin: paano hinandle ng media ang buong issue? May mga nagsasabi na wina-weaponize daw ang Christianity laban sa LGBTQ community. Pero tanong: posible rin bang ang media naman ang wine-weaponize para i-normalize ang LGBTQ ideology? Kung isa kang kabataan today na kumukuha lang ng impormasyon sa mainstream media at news sites — walang guidance ng magulang — malamang ang magiging conclusion mo: LGBT lifestyle = GOOD. Christianity = ARCHAIC. Matapos ang Alvin Aragon issue, sunod-sunod ang celebrity reactions. Pag-usapan natin ang mas malaking picture: Why is it na mas madalas ibalita ang trans representation sa beauty pageants, pero hindi ang mga kaso ng trans athletes dominating women's sports gaya ng nangyari kay Lia Thomas? Bakit hindi mas napag-uusapan ang mga policy debates sa Europe kung saan may pushback na sa gender ideology — tulad sa Hungary, Romania, Sweden, United Kingdom, at Finland? Agenda ba ito? O simpleng selective reporting lang? Kung gusto mo ng perspektibong hindi mo madalas marinig sa local mainstream media, make sure to subscribe, hit the notification bell, at i-share ang video na ito.

For many Filipino migrants, Australia is more than a destination. It is a new life built from hard work, sacrifice, and hope. Yet even after receiving Australian citizenship, they still continue to hold strong emotional ties to the Philippines. - Para sa maraming Pilipino na naninirahan sa Australia, ang pagiging Australian citizen ay hindi lamang isang dokumento o legal na estado. Ito ay isang simbolo ng tagumpay, seguridad, at oportunidad. Pakinggan ang mga dahilan kung bakit pinipili ng maraming Pilipino na gawing tahanan ang Australia.

Marami ang nag-react sa statement ni Lea Salonga tungkol sa unconditional love ng mga magulang kapag nag-come out ang anak. Pero sa video na ito, ibinabahagi ko ang kontrobersyal kong take bilang isang Pilipino na naniniwala na ang pagmamahal at moral responsibility ay pwedeng magsabay.Hindi ito tungkol sa poot, kundi tungkol sa tanong na bihira nating pag-usapan:

Sa video na 'to, tatalakayin natin ang controversial na nangyari sa Venezuela—mula sa maikling history ng relasyon nito sa United States, hanggang sa usapin ng oil, sanctions, drugs, at geopolitics. Bago natin panoorin ang AI-generated simulation video tungkol sa umano'y pag-capture kay Nicolas Maduro, magbibigay muna ako ng quick TL;DR kung paano nauwi sa ganitong sitwasyon ang Venezuela. Bakit ba naging interesado ang US? Oil lang ba talaga ang dahilan? O may mas malalim pang issue? Pagkatapos ng video, ibabahagi ko rin ang personal thoughts ko bilang isang Catholic Christian. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa international law, kundi kung morally defensible ba ang ginawa ng US gamit ang Just War doctrine (CCC 2309). Pag-uusapan natin: Ang role ng foreign oil companies sa Venezuela Bakit bumagsak ang oil production ng bansa US sanctions, drugs, at power projection China, Russia, Iran, at global politics At ang tanong: Pasok ba ito sa Just War doctrine? Hindi ito simpleng pro-US o anti-US take. Layunin ng video na mag-isip tayo nang mas malalim, lalo na bilang mga Kristiyano.

When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with a skin disease are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.” Matthew 11:2-6 NRSVUE John the Baptist, the voice in the wilderness, the prophet who dared to speak truth to power, finds himself behind bars. And from that place of confinement, John asks a hauntingly human question: “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” This is not a question from an unbeliever. This is a question from someone faithful, tired, disappointed, and confused. And that matters, because it tells us something important: doubt does not cancel faith. Suffering does not erase calling. Joy, in Scripture, is not the absence of struggle. What kind of joy are we talking about? Let me be clear: when we talk about joy, we are not talking about being cheerful all the time. Joy is not a mood. Joy is not hype. Joy is not pretending everything is okay. Biblical joy is deeper than happiness. Joy is a deep, abiding inner assurance, a settled confidence rooted in a relationship with God. It's the kind of joy that can exist even when the prison door stays closed, the kind of joy John needed while he was behind bars. Galatians 5:22 says: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…” Notice the word fruit. Fruit is never manufactured by effort alone. Fruit grows when a tree is rooted, nourished, and abiding. You don't yell at a tree to bear fruit. You don't shame it into producing. Fruit is the natural evidence that life is flowing through it. Which means, if joy is fruit, then joy is not the goal – grace is the source. So What do we mean by a graceful ministry? A graceful ministry is not driven by pressure. It is not fueled by proving yourself. It is not obsessed with performance, productivity, or approval. A grace-driven ministry flows from this truth: God's love is already given. God's power is already at work. God's grace is already enough. It knows: This is not about my strength. This is not about my perfection. This is about Christ's work, not my résumé. That kind of ministry is marked by: Humility instead of control Patience instead of urgency Presence instead of performance And when ministry flows from grace, joy shows up. Not loud joy. Not flashy joy. But resilient joy. The kind that keeps showing up. The kind that listens without fixing. The kind that stays when it's uncomfortable. This is exactly what Jesus shows us in Matthew 11:2-5. John sends word from prison, asking if Jesus is truly the Messiah. Notice what Jesus does not say. He does not say: “Try harder.” “Believe more.” or “Get it together.” Instead, Jesus says: “Go and tell John what you hear and see.” And then He lists evidence of grace at work: the blind receive sight the lame walk the sick are cleansed the deaf hear the dead are raised the poor receive good news Jesus points John not to spectacle, but to restoration. Not to power, but to presence. Even in the presence of miracles, even in the middle of grace, questions still existed. John still asked. And I relate to that. Fact 1: I am a queer woman. Fact 2: I am a Christian. I am both of these at once. And I no longer hide who I am to make anyone else comfortable. Just like John, I am a discomfort for other people—sometimes even to my own family. I have lost relationships because of who I am and what I choose to do. But standing fully in who I am has taught me something about Jesus: His grace makes room. Jesus' ministry was not about shrinking people. It was about revealing truth and widening belonging. Yet even in the midst of grace, questions still exist. Even when I volunteer to contribute to this church—as your Hermana, your Community Connect Facilitator, your Inang Martha, and just your fellow churchmate—there are days I ask myself: “Am I really helping?” “Am I really showing up the way people need me to?” “Am I enough?” “Or… bida-bida ka lang? OA ka naman?” I have doubts. I have insecurities. But why do I still keep going? When Jesus did not condemn John. He responded with grace. And I realize: doubt does not disqualify me. Showing up is already ministry. I know that Grace is often uncomfortable. Grace stretches us. It challenges us. It calls us to love beyond what feels safe. Grace moves toward pain. Grace listens to the silenced. Grace meets the messy, the broken, the desperate. Grace reaches into the hardest places and says: You are seen. You are heard. You are loved. And maybe that's why this Scripture feels personal to me. I often find myself surrounded by people in pain. Many times, people open up to me about their hurt, their traumas, their vulnerable selves. Sometimes I joke na “parang magnet ako” …ehh ha? Bakit sa dami-dami ng puwedeng maattract… problema pa? Na para bang Google Drive ako ng chismis? But as I reflected with my wife Mikay, she made me realize: “Maybe you don't attract problems. Maybe you just refuse to turn away.” The truth is: I don't receive people's stories because I'm weak or strong. I receive them because I give the grace of willingness to listen. I practice ministry by being present: Someone who listens without judgment Someone who holds space Someone who says, “Your story is safe here.” I will give you a seat at the table. I choose to be present. And maybe, to me, that's what a graceful ministry looks like: choosing compassion over control, curiosity over judgment, presence over perfection. Jesus said in Matthew 11:6: “Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.” The word “offended” comes from a Greek term that literally means “to stumble” or “to be tripped up.” It's an invitation to stand firm in faith, even when following Jesus feels hard, messy, or different from what we expect. There is great blessing in holding on, in trusting Him, and in continuing to walk with Him, knowing that He is faithful, even when the path is unclear or challenging. Ministry is not a title, a pulpit, or a program. It's presence. It's staying when it's easier to walk away. It's listening to someone who's been silenced. It's letting someone fall apart without trying to fix them. Even in the face of broken systems, injustice, and chaos, choosing to show up with compassion is a radical act of hope. It makes grace visible. In a world like this, it's natural to feel small and powerless. To wonder: “Can my small presence really make a difference?” “Is showing up, listening, or offering help enough when problems feel enormous?” This is exactly where grace steps in. This is exactly where ministry begins—not in grand gestures or perfect solutions, but in small, courageous acts of presence. You don't need training to begin. You don't need perfect words. You don't even need to feel ready. Although, lest I get misunderstood, may mga bagay rin na kailangan ng training. Hindi pwedeng pastor na puro presence lang. Pero hindi rin pwedeng pastor na puro training lang, pero walang presence. Presence is the start and the beginning. There are ministries where puso at presence ang tanging kailangan. Listen. Stay. Care. Again and again. With your heart open. Because maybe the holiest thing we can do… is to keep showing up: Showing up for each other… messy, tired, hopeful. Showing up when it would be easier to walk away. Showing up when no one notices. Showing up when it hurts. The grace in showing up is a learning and training experience. Natututo rin tayo kapag when we show up. The kind of grace that Jesus lived… a grace that meets people where they are, and in doing so, gives birth to joy. Because maybe true joy come from accepting Jesus as He is, even when His ways challenge our expectations. Like when we choose to love someone the way Jesus loves: without condition, without hesitation, without needing to fix or prove anything. The joy in trusting God’s bigger plan and finding fulfillment in His presence, not worldly success or our limited human views. Because joy isn't the absence of pain. It's the fruit of grace. The kind that keeps loving, keeps believing, keeps listening, even when it hurts. Every time you choose presence over perfection, compassion over judgment, and love over fear – you are participating in ministry. You are planting seeds of grace that will grow into joy. So If someone here once listened to you, carried your burden, or made you feel less alone at some point, turn to them and say: “Thank you for showing up.” As we close today, let me leave you with this: Grace is the root. Ministry is the soil. Joy is the fruit. And when grace leads, joy follows. Stand firm in faith, even when you doubt. Because every act of grace you offer, every moment you choose presence over performance, every time you choose love over fear, you are planting seeds of joy in a world that so desperately needs it. So I leave you with this question, to carry in your heart: “Will I let grace guide me—so that joy can truly bloom, in me and through me, for others?” The post Joy is the Fruit of a Graceful Ministry appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

Madaming nagsasabi ng argument na: “Kung hindi natin i-legalize ang abortion, dadami ang mamamatay sa unsafe o back-alley abortions.” Pero… totoo ba talaga? O isa lang itong myth na sobrang repeated kaya maraming naniniwala? Sa video na ito, i-de-debunk natin ang ‘unsafe and illegal abortion' argument gamit ang facts, logic, at tamang context—both internationally at dito sa Pilipinas.

In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is the one of whom the prophet Isaiah spoke when he said, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.' ” Now John wore clothing of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan were going out to him, and they were baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Therefore, bear fruit worthy of repentance, and do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our ancestor,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. “I baptize you with water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:1-12 NRSVUE Marami sa inyo dito ang tawag sa akin ay Ardy. Pero pag naririnig ng kapatid ko yang pangalan na yan, natatawa siya. Sa totoo, ako rin minsan, lalo na pag pinapakilala ako ni Jandi na Ardy sa friends at mga kakilala niya. Five years pa lang kasi yung pangalan na yan kaya hindi pa sanay yung kapatid ko, at minsan ako rin. Nung nag-out ako 5 years ago, I chose that nickname. Ayoko nang ipakilala yung sarili ko as Rhick, lalo na as Deuel. And looking back, it's not actually about me wanting to be called differently, kasi unang-una mas madali yung Rhick. Ang Ardy, two syllables. It's about me wanting to be known differently. I wanted to create this new self, this new identity. And so 5 years after, weeks after my birthday, napatanong ako, sino nga ba talaga si Ardy? Was I able to actually live differently? Was I successful in building this new self? Was I able to transform myself? Si Jandi alam na alam ang sagot sa mga tanong na yan. Yang mga questions na yan, obviously, hindi dumating sa akin out of the blue. When I was studying the scripture reading, na-fascinate ako kasi hindi nga pala bago itong konsepto ng transforming oneself. In Matthew 3:2, John proclaimed, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” The Greek word for repentance is metanoia, which is usually simply translated in English as to change or to transform. Hence, the call to transform oneself isn't new. Even before Jesus, people were already called to be transformed. Digging into the historical context of this story, this call from John is an invitation for the people during his time to be renewed. If we go one verse back, this story of John is actually a bit theatrical because he appeared in the wilderness. So meron siyang ganung atake. Kaya naman John is actually a very queer Biblical character, not in a total SOGIESC sense, but in how he used strange fashion and lifestyle not to stand out, but to remind people of a story. Very draga. He intentionally wore, sa verse 4, clothing of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. Why? To look like Prophet Elijah. Bakit niya gusto magmukhang propeta? He wanted to be like the prophets of ancient Israel. He wanted to remind people of what happened to the Israelites when they didn’t follow God’s commandments. Kaya dun siya umeksena sa wilderness because it served as a stage that would amplify his message. He wanted to remind people that the true essence of the covenant and commandments is to show the world that there is a different way of living, of being. God gave ancient Israel a framework on how to set themselves apart from other nations. And so proclaiming the message of repentance from the wilderness must remind the Jews to become the people that Israel had been called to be from the very beginning. The past generations failed, and in verse 10, he declared that the time had arrived, God is offering a final opportunity. Therefore, John’s call for repentance is a call to transform oneself: to have a complete change of mind and heart, inviting people to be baptized to publicly proclaim that they are setting themselves apart from the ways of their world. Now, sa atin ngayon, what does the call for repentance mean to us? What does transformation of self mean to us? Syempre, hindi yan mag-start sa paggawa ng bagong nickname. Pwede niyo rin gawin iyon, but gaya nga ng tanong ko sa sarili ko, yes, gumawa ako ng bagong name for myself, but did I really undergo a genuine process of becoming transformed into someone new? Samahan niyo kong sagutin yang tanong na yan by exploring two steps on how to gain true metanoia. The first step is to think about what we’ve done or how we’re currently behaving. For some, this could be difficult, self-reflection is a heavy task. Because as humans, we tend to overlook things about ourselves. In my case, I didn’t get to fully understand my worldview after I left my former religion. I grew up believing that Jehovah’s Witness is the true religion, the only group of true Christians. But what's interesting is that I didn’t actually fully realize na talagang years of my life, I believed that only one particular group has the monopoly on God’s approval. Kaya nung naging part ako ng Open Table as Ardy, nasa sistema ko pa rin siya. I had this thought na progressive Christian groups or individuals who are progressively leaning lang ang totoong mga Christian. In some degree, yes, we do proclaim God’s radically inclusive love better, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people from other Christian groups who are also trying to be as Christian as possible and follow Jesus in their own big and little ways. As a matter of fact, I realized I can still actually learn a lot of things from them. One of the things that I am transparent about dito sa journey ko of transforming myself is that prayer is still a difficult thing for me to do. Kaya nung nagkita kami ng friend ko, she's from an evangelical-ish church, I was so jealous that she can actually pour her heart out and articulate her gratitude for the year 2025 so beautifully in just a prayer for dinner. Why did I feel spiritually superior to people who are in non-affirming communities when I know that a personal relationship with God is possible maging sino ka man? Kaya I figured, it's actually a need to have moments of reflection and to understand if we’re truly different from who we were. I actually remembered a conversation from the ministry planning. Apparently, some of us are still uncomfortable in spiritual practices from other cultures and religions. That’s perfectly understandable. Some of us were raised to believe that non-Christians will rot in hell or, dati ako, I believed na papaulanan sila ng meteorites during Armageddon. But as we undergo metanoia, ganung klaseng Kristiyano pa rin ba tayo? Do we still gatekeep the divine and believe that everyone else is damned if they're not Christian? For some people, this first step may look different. Those who aren’t out and are just coming to terms with their gender and sexuality, maybe there's a need to be more aware of an inner voice that screams internalized homophobia or transphobia. For those who are still with their non-affirming church communities, they may need to assess if hiding parts of themselves is worth it just to stay within the faith community, or how their double life affects their genuine connection with God. For those who just left their former churches and are in the process of deconstruction, how's your spiritual life? Have you abandoned prayer and scripture reading? Maybe at this point, some of us are done with these big questions involving identity and spirituality. Then what questions are left for us? Mark 12:31 offers an answer: Love your neighbor as yourself. As we wish to be transformed, we must also think if we lack in charity, if we are greedy, if we participate in exploitation or violence. Big words noh. Sige, liitan natin: kaya ba nating maging mas aware of how hostile we could be in online conversations? Or kaya ba nating maging mas aware sa ating tendencies na maging elitista or classist? Do we converse with kindness and claim accountability sa mga actions natin or are we rude, di nag-iisip bago magsalita (sobrang kota na ko dyan this week) or parang regina george kung umasta? We can ask ourselves, In what ways can I love my neighbor better? As we assess ourselves, we also have to go through Step 1.5: acknowledge who we are or what we’ve done and feel remorse. This part of repentance and yes, repentance as a whole, could be a challenging process for LGBTQ+ people. Yung salitang repent pa nga lang, diba, was weaponized by most of our previous churches. Bakla ka? Repent. Immoral yan? Repent. It was used to make us feel lesser and undeserving of God’s love. But now that we have a better understanding of what it means, I’m telling you, we have to repent. We have to repent because we sin. Walang immunity ang mga bakla dyan. We don’t automatically get an A+ sa commandment ni Jesus. Sumasablay tayo araw-araw. So we don’t get a free pass for the things we’ve done and for the things we’re doing that aren’t aligned with Jesus’ commandment. Yung ating sexuality and gender identity, based on science and biblical-theological scholarship ay hindi naman talaga kasalanan to repent from, pero marami pang ibang bagay na we need to repent and transform from. Regardless of gender and sexuality, we have to feel sad, bad, and remorseful for those things, for the pain we caused others, for the hurt and injustice we inflicted on our friends and people around us, for the bad habits and self-destructive behaviors we let ourselves experience, for the shame we caused ourselves. To be truly transformed, we have to go through those painful moments of being ashamed for the harmful things we've done to other people, and in moments where we are greatly disturbed by godly sorrow. Now, what's the second step? To answer that, let’s further examine the word metanoia. The prefix meta means to change, and the root word noeo means to think, to understand. And so when we combine those morphemes, it’s more accurate to say that metanoia is a specific transformation: it's a change in the way we think, the way we understand things; therefore, it’s a change of our life’s direction. What's that direction? We’re in the season of Advent, and there’s a reason why John’s call for repentance is part of the Advent lectionary. It's a call for us to not just be transformed for ourselves; it's a call for us to be active participants of the Advent. Advent is about longing for the Kingdom of God, for justice, and the end of oppression. But the question is: how? Anong transformation ang ine-expect sa atin? Ine-expect ba sa ating lahat na magiging full-time ministry leaders tayo, magiging full-time social justice advocates or activists? For some people, probably yun ang direkyson nila. Pastor Joseph is an example: from a corporate worker, nag-transform siya into a seminarian hanggang naging ordained pastor. Baka iba sa inyo similar din ang maging transformation. But in Luke 3:10–14, there’s a comforting story. Wala ito sa Matthew. Tinanong ng mga tao si John, “So ano gagawin namin?” Sabi ni John: yung may mga dalawang balabal, i-share niyo yung isa sa wala; yung may food, mag-share din. Tinanong siya ng mga tax collectors, “Teacher, ano gagawin namin?” Sabi niya, “Huwag kayong maningil ng sobra; yung itinakdang tax, yan lang kokolektahin niyo.” Yung mga sundalo tinanong din siya, “Kami, anong gagawin?” Sabi niya, “Huwag kayong mangikil at huwag kayong magparatang ng mali.” Anong matututunan natin sa kwentong yan? Nakita natin na hindi pinag-resign ni John yung tax collectors and soldiers sa kani-kanilang trabaho. Yung mga ordinaryong tao, sinabi niyang magtulungan kayo, share what you have. Hindi naman niya sila niyaya lahat sa wilderness. Therefore, John’s invitation is an invitation to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. That's the direction. And so this also invites us to learn to love ourselves better. Sabi nga ni RuPaul, “If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” One example that I have is coming out of the closet. Yes, it's indeed difficult to come out, dangerous for some even. But coming out of the closet gives you more opportunities to participate in loving others. Like here at Open Table, you can participate better in the ministry work, testify in front, represent the church, and all other things. And outside Open Table, you can also be more involved in advocacy work. And just in your personal life, you get to express yourself better in public and be more authentic in dating, etc. In the same manner, learning to love our authentic selves, transforming into our true beautiful selves, opens us to more opportunities to express genuine love to other people. However, in all our different ways, totoong hindi madaling mahalin ang sarili ng buo at gayundin ang iba. Magkukulang tayo along the way. Pag nagkamali ba tayo, ibig sabihin failed na tayo sa “transforming ourselves”? No. Remember God’s grace. I want to read what Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber, the founding pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints, wrote about repentance: “This is the beauty of our faith—that repentance gets to be a continual action. This is the beauty of our faith, not that we once were bad but now we’re good, but that Softly and Tenderly… Jesus is calling us out of the empty promises of our personal and cultural trances and into what is most true and most real—this present moment, where the kingdom of God is at hand… [Repentance] is not like the three tries you have to remember your password before the system locks you out. The gates of repentance are always open.” Five years forward bearing this new name, Ardy, with God's grace and because of love, yes, there are areas of my life that I could say I was able to change significantly. But sometimes I act like a kid, like the sheltered boy that I was. I'm not perfect. But I'm a work in progress, and so are you. We need to be continuously transformed by love and grace. And I hope that in this season of Advent, we spend time to reflect and to be truly transformed. At lalo na malapit na ang 2026, time to create our New Year's resolution na madalas di napapanindigan. But maybe this time around, maybe hindi na natin need hintayin ang New Year. As we observe Advent, let’s allow God to transform us into our true selves: the person God uniquely created and calls us to be. Amen.
