Podcasts about kristiyano

Naririnig mo rin ba palagi ang claim na pagan daw ang Pasko dahil December 25 ito ipinagdiriwang? Sa video na ito, linilinaw natin kung bakit hindi ito tugma sa Christian history. Pag-uusapan din natin kung SA ANONG BUWAN TALAGA IPINANGANAK SI HESUS KRISTO, AYON SA BIBLIA, at bakit kahit hindi eksaktong sinabi ang petsa, malinaw pa rin kung ano ang ipinagdiriwang ng mga Kristiyano. Hindi natin kine-claim na December 25 ang literal na birthday ni Jesus, pero ipapakita natin kung bakit hindi ito nangangahulugang pagan ang Pasko. Kasama rin dito ang paghimay sa kung paano nag-celebrate ang early Christians bago pa man lumabas ang mga pagan claims. Sa dulo ng video, mas maiintindihan mo kung bakit ang mahalaga ay hindi lang ang petsa, kundi ang katotohanang Isinilang Si Jesus para sa ating kaligtasan. Merry Christmas, at huwag kalimutang mag-like, mag-subscribe, at mag-comment kung ano ang take mo sa usapang ito.

Sa video na ito, mag-re-react tayo sa unang cross-examination ng katoliko vs iglesia ni cristo debate sa pagitan nina Karl Keating (Catholic apologist) at Jose Ventilacion ng Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ / INC). Si San Pedro ba talaga ang “Bato” (Rock) sa Matthew 16:18? Dito nagsimula ang main issue—ang claim ng Simbahang Katolika tungkol sa papacy at kung paano ito hinamon ng Iglesia ni Cristo. Paano naman kaya ito ipinagtanggol ng mga Catholic faith defenders gamit ang Bible, church history, at logic? Hindi ko ito rinecord para magsimula ng away—kundi seryosong paghihimay ng mga argumento para mas maintindihan ng bawat Kristiyano ang opinion ko from a Catholic perspective sa Catholic Church vs INC (Church of Christ) discussion na ito.

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.

Sermon: Batang-Bata Ka Pa Series: God's Perfect Servant Speaker: Ptr. Renz Raquion Scripture: Mark 10:13-16 Masyado bang mataas ang ating kumpiyansa sa ating pagka-mature sa buhay-Kristiyano kaya't hindi na natin binibigyang-pansin ang mga simple o may pananampalatayang tulad ng isang bata? Ngayong Linggo, ipinapaalala sa atin ni Pastor Renz Raquion na pinahahalagahan ng kaharian ng Diyos ang pagiging inosente at pagkakaroon ng dalisay na puso. Lumapit tayo sa Diyos nang may pagtitiwala at pananampalatayang tulad ng sa isang bata. Are we so sure of our maturity in our Christian walk that we have begun to overlook those whom we see as simple-minded or childlike? This Sunday, Pastor Renz Raquion reminds us that God's kingdom values innocence and simplicity. Let us draw near to God with childlike dependence and trust.

Magkaibang bagay ang sinasabi mo na Kristiyano ka sa isinasabuhay mo ang pagiging Kristiyano mo. Paano mo susuriin ang pananampalataya mo kung magkatugma ba ang pananalita mo sa kilos at pag-uugali mo? Speaker: Ptr.

Sandali Lamang Pagkatapos ninyong magtiis sa loob ng maikling panahon, ang Diyos, na siyang pinanggagalingan ng lahat ng pagpapala, ang siyang magbibigay sa inyo ng kagalingan, katatagan, at lakas ng loob at isang pundasyong di matitinag. (1 Pedro 5:10 MBBTAG) Minsan, sa gitna ng mga paghihirap at pang-araw-araw na stress ng buhay, puwede tayong sumigaw, “Gaano katagal pa, O Panginoon? Hindi ko makita ang lampas sa sakit ngayon. Ano ang magiging bukas? Nandoon ka rin ba para sa pagsubok na iyon?” Lubos na mahalaga ang tanong na ito, dahil sinabi ni Hesus, “Ang taong magtitiis hanggang wakas ay maliligtas” (Marcos 13:13). Nanginginig tayong isipin na baka mapabilang tayo sa “mga umaatras at napapahamak” (Hebreo 10:39). Hindi tayo naglalaro lamang. Ang pagdurusa ay isang kakila-kilabot na banta sa pananampalataya sa hinaharap na biyaya ng Diyos. Kaya naman, isang kahanga-hangang bagay na marinig ang pangako ni Pedro sa mga naghihirap at pagod na mga Kristiyano, “Pagkatapos ninyong magtiis sa loob ng maikling panahon, ang Diyos, na siyang pinanggagalingan ng lahat ng pagpapala, ang siyang magbibigay sa inyo ng kagalingan, katatagan, at lakas ng loob at isang pundasyong di matitinag” (1 Pedro 5:10). Ang katiyakan na hindi patatagalin anghigit sa ating makakayanan, at aalisin Niya ang mga kapintasan na ating iniiyakan, at itatatag Niya magpakailanman ang mga bagay na matagal nang nag-aalangan — ang katiyakang ito ay nagmumula sa Diyos ng “lahat ng biyaya.” Ang Diyos ay hindi Diyos ng ilang biyaya lamang — tulad ng lumipas na biyaya. Siya “ang Diyos ng lahat ng biyaya” — kasama ang walang hanggan at di-auubos na kamalig ng hinaharap na biyaya na kailangan natin upang tumagal hanggang sa wakas. Ang pananampalataya sa hinaharap na biyayang ito, na pinalakas ng alaala ng nakaraang biyaya, ang susi upang magpatuloy tayo sa makitid at mahirap na daan na patungo sa buhay.

Ito ang Part 3 ng ating talakayang: “Katoliko ba si San Pablo?”

Kunin ang Ayaw Mong Mawala Tiningnan sila ni Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Hindi ito kayang gawin ng tao, ngunit hindi ito imposible sa Diyos. Sapagkat ang lahat ng bagay ay kayang gawin ng Diyos.” (Marcos 10:27 MBBTAG) Heto ang dalawang mahusay na insentibo mula kay Hesus para maging isang Pandaigdig na Kristiyano at ialay ang iyong sarili sa adhikain ng mga Misyong Panghangganan. Bilang pupunta o magpapadala.  1. Ang bawat imposible sa tao ay posible sa Diyos (Marcos 10:27). Ang pagbabalik-loob ng mga nasanay na sa kasalanan  ay pagkilos ng Diyos at naaayon sa Kanyang dakilang plano. Hindi natin dapat matakot o mag-alala sa ating kahinaan. Sa Panginoon ang laban, at Siya ang magbibigay ng tagumpay sa atin. 2. Nangako si Kristo na kikilos Siya para sa atin, at magiging para sa atin, kaya naman pagkatapos ng ating buhay misyonero, hindi natin masasabing nagsakripisyo tayo ng anuman (Marcos 10:29–30). Kapag sinusunod natin ang Kanyang preskripsyon sa misyon, matutuklasan natin na kahit ang masasakit na side effects ay nagpapabuti sa ating kalagayan. Ang ating espirituwal na kalusugan, ang ating kagalakan — lumalago ang mga ito nang sandaang ulit. At kapag tayo'y namatay, hindi tayo namamatay. agkakamit tayo ng buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi ako nananawagan na pagtibayin niyo ang inyong loob at mag-sakripisyo para kay Kristo. Nanawagan akong talikuran niyo ang lahat ng meron kayo, upang makamtan ang buhay na makakapuno sa pinakamalalalim  niyong pangarap. Nanawagan akong ituring niyo ang lahat ng bagay na basura para sa higit na halaga ng paglilingkod sa Hari ng mga hari. Nanawagan akong tanggalin niyo ang inyong mga biniling basahang at isuot ang damit ng mga sugo ng Diyos. Nangangako akong makakaranas kayo ng mga pag-uusig at kahirapan — ngunit tandaan ninyo ang kagalakan! "Pinagpala ang mga inuusig nang dahil sa kanilang pagsunod sa kalooban ng Diyos, sapagkat kabilang sila sa kaharian ng langit." (Mateo 5:10 MBBTAG) Noong Enero 8, 1956, pinatay ng limang katutubo ng tribong Waorani sa Ecuador sina Jim Elliot at ang kanyang apat na kasamang misyonero habang sinusubukan nilang dalhin ang ebanghelyo sa tribong Waorani na may animnapung tao. Apat na batang misis ang nawalan ng mga asawa at siyam na bata ang nawalan ng kanilang mga ama. Isinulat ni Elisabeth Elliot na tinawag ito ng mundo bilang bangungot ng trahedya. Pagkatapos ay idinagdag niya, “Hindi kinilala ng mundo ang katotohanan ng pangalawang bahagi sa kredo ni Jim Elliot: ‘Hindi siya hangal na nagbibigay ng hindi niya maaaring itago upang makamtan ang hindi niya maaaring mawala.'”

Ang Pinakamaliit na Pananampalataya Maliwanag kung gayon, na ang pasya ng Diyos ay nababatay sa kanyang habag, at hindi sa kagustuhan o pagsisikap ng tao. (Roma 9:16 MBBTAG) Sa simula pa lang ng taon, linawin natin na ang lahat ng matatanggap natin mula sa Diyos ngayong taon, bilang mga mananampalataya kay Hesus, ay awa. Anuman ang kasiyahan o sakit na darating sa atin ay pawang habag. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit pumarito si Kristo sa mundo: “at upang ang mga Hentil naman ay magpuri sa Diyos dahil sa kanyang habag” (Roma 15:9). Tayo ay muling ipinanganak “sa pamamagitan ng muling pagkabuhay ni Jesu-Cristo.” (1 Pedro 1:3). Araw-araw tayong nananalangin “upang makamtan natin ang habag at pagpapala na tutulong sa atin” (Hebreo 4:16); at ngayon ay  nananatili tayo “sa pag-ibig ng Diyos habang naghihintay [tayo] sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo na magkakaloob sa [atin] ng buhay na walang hanggan” (Judas 1:21). Kung may Kristiyanong mapagkakatiwalaan, ito ay “dahil sa habag ng Diyos ay mapagkakatiwalaan” (1 Corinto 7:25). Sa Lucas 17:5–6, nakiusap ang mga apostol sa Panginoon, “Dagdagan mo ang aming pananampalataya!” At sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung kayo ay may pananampalataya na kasingliit ng buto ng mustasa, masasabi ninyo sa punong ito, ‘Mag-ugat ka at matanim sa dagat,' at ito'y tatalima sa inyo.” Sa madaling salita, ang isyu sa ating buhay at ministeryong Kristiyano ay hindi ang lakas o dami ng ating pananampalataya, dahil hindi ito ang nag-uugat ng mga puno. Ang Diyos ang gumagawa nito. Kaya naman, ang pinakamaliit na pananampalatayang tunay na nag-uugnay sa atin kay Kristo ay magdudulot ng sapat na kapangyarihan para sa lahat ng ating pangangailangan. Ngunit paano naman sa mga panahong matagumpay mong sinusunod ang Panginoon? Inaalis ka ba ng iyong pagsunod mula sa kategorya ng nanghihingi ng habag? Sinagot ito ni Hesus sa Lucas 17:7–10. “Kapag nanggaling ang inyong alipin sa pag-aararo o pagpapastol ng mga tupa sa bukid, inaanyayahan ba ninyo siya agad upang kumain? Hindi ba't ang sasabihin ninyo ay, ‘Ipaghanda mo ako ng hapunan, magbihis ka, at pagsilbihan mo ako habang ako'y kumakain. Pagkakain ko, saka ka kumain.' Pinasasalamatan ba ng amo ang kanyang alipin dahil sinusunod siya nito? Ganoon din naman kayo; kapag nagawa na ninyo ang lahat ng iniuutos sa inyo, sabihin ninyo, ‘Kami'y mga aliping walang kabuluhan; tumutupad lamang kami sa aming tungkulin.'” Kaya nga, natutukoy ko, ang pinakamataas na pagsunod at ang pinakamaliit na pananampalataya ay nakakakuha ng parehong bagay mula sa Diyos: habag. Isang butil lang ng mustasa na pananampalataya ay nakakakuha ng habag ng Diyos para sa kapangyarihang mag-ugat ng mga puno. At ang walang kamaliang pagsunod ay nag-iiwan sa atin na lubos na umaasa sa habag. Ito ang punto: Anuman ang tiyempo o anyo ng habag ng Diyos, hindi natin kailanman mahihigitan ang pagiging mga benepisyaryo ng awa. Palagi tayong lubos na umaasa sa hindi tayo nararapat. Kaya't magpakumbaba tayo at magalak at “magpuri sa Diyos dahil sa kanyang habag!”

Sermon: Ano Ang Handa Mong Gawin for the Sake of Spreading the Gospel? Series: Jesus is the Answer Speaker: Ptr. July David Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9: 1-14 Bagaman mayroon tayong kalayaan kay Kristo bilang mga Kristiyano, ang hindi maingat na paggamit nito ay maaaring maging balakid sa pananampalataya ng iba. Sa linggong ito, hinihikayat tayo ni Pastor July David na maging handa na isakripisyo ang ating mga karapatan upang lumikha ng mga pagkakataon para maibahagi ang Gospel sa mga hindi pa nakakakilala kay Kristo. As Christians, we have freedom in Christ, but careless use of this freedom can cause others to stumble. This week, Pastor July David encourages us to sacrifice our rights if doing so lets us share the Gospel with those who need to know Christ.

Separation of Church and State and the practice of Christian faith are not contradicting. Politicians should govern well. The Church advances the teachings of Jesus. [Mark 12:13-17, Tuesday of the 9th Week in the Ordinary Time]

Mabuting Balita l Mayo 26, 2024 – Linggo Dakilang Kapistahan ng Talong persona sa isang Diyos    Ebanghelyo: Mateo 28,16-20 Pumunta sa Galilea ang Labing-isang alagad, sa bundok na itinakda ni Hesus. Pagkakita nila sa kanya, sumamba sila, ngunit may nag-aalinlangan pa. At nilapitan sila ni Hesus at sinabi: “Ibinigay sa akin ang buong kapangyarihan sa Langit at sa lupa. Kaya humayo kayo at gawing mga alagad ang lahat ng bansa. Binyagan sila sa Ngalan ng Ama at ng Anak at ng Espiritu Santo, at turuan sila na sundin ang lahat ng iniutos ko sa inyo. Kasama ninyo ako sa lahat ng araw hanggang sa wakas ng panahon.”   Pagninilay: Ngayong araw, ipinagdiriwang natin ang kapistahan ng Santisima Trinidad, ang Banal na Santatlo, ang pinakasentro ng ating pananampalataya. Naniniwala tayo na ang Diyos ay may tatlong Persona - Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo, pero iisa lamang ang Diyos. Paano nating pinararangalan ang Banal na Santatlo?  Sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa utos ni Hesus na gawing alagad ang lahat ng mga bansa. Ito ang tinatawag na Dakilang Komisyon na binasa natin sa Mabuting Balita. Ito ang ating misyon bilang mga Kristiyano: na ibahagi ang ating pananampalataya sa Banal na Santatlo sa pamamagitan ng ating mga salita at gawa, sa pamamagitan ng ating pagpapakita ng pag-ibig sa Diyos at sa kapwa, sa pamamagitan ng ating pagsaksi sa buhay na banal, sa pamamagitan ng ating pakikilahok sa buhay ng Simbahan. Mga kapanalig, ngayong kapistahan ng Banal na Santatlo, magpasalamat tayo sa Diyos sa kanyang dakilang pag-ibig. Tumugon tayo sa kanyang pag-ibig sa pamamagitan ng ating pag-ibig. At ipagdiwang natin ang kanyang pag-ibig sa pamamagitan ng ating buhay. -Fr. Rolly Garcia

When you sin, you do not sin alone, you take with you your name as a Christian and therefore you wound the Church. You commit an offense not only to God but to the Church where you belong. Halimbawa, sa Filipino culture, kapag may ginawa kang kalokohan, tangay mo ang magulang mo at ang buong pamilya mo. Ganoon din, kapag tayo ay may ginawang kasalanan, kahit hindi nakikita ng iba, kahit hindi ka nabibisto ng ibang tao, malinaw na malinaw na dala-dala mo ang pangalan mo bilang Kristiyano, bilang Katoliko. At dahil doon na i-iskandalo ang ibang tao kasi despite you being a Catholic, being a Christian, you are doing these things which is unbecoming of a Christian.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unboxingcatholicism/message

Hindi Binyagang Kristiyano

Ang Pakikibakang Kristiyano

When Jesus used imagery of a conquest of land and even said "whoever is not with me is against me and whoever does not gather with me scatters", it implied that if one is serious about his faith he/she should not be surprised to encounter a lot of challenges. [Luke 11:15-26, Friday of the 27th Week in the Ordinary Time]

Sa Ano Inihahalintulad ang Paglilingkod Kristiyano

Ang Antikristo at ang Sabbath

This may be true but we have to understand two things about this popular statement. First, we have to accept that doing God's will at times will place us in an uncomfortable and sad situations. Second, the joy of being Christians will definitely be absolute not today but in the future, in the end of time when God's eternal reward will be endowed to the faithful. [Luke 6:20-26, Wednesday of the 23rd Week in the Ordinary Time]
