Text: Proverbs 29:7 (ESV) 7 A righteous man knows the rights of the poor;a wicked man does not understand such knowledge. JUSTICE FOR THE POOR The poor is associated with a lack of money. But the Hebrew word here includes more. It includes the concept of weakness, being low, powerlessness, and many more. This description contrasts them with the enabled, supported, and most especially those in power.  Apparently, God shows His care for the weak and poor (see Prov 14:31; 21:13) And, He expects those who follow Him to do similarly (Mat 25:34–40; Prov 22:22; 31:8–9; Psa 41:1). Since being "poor" involves more than lack of money, caring for them extends to more than charity. It includes providing "justice" for them. (Proverbs 18:5) They should not be oppressed but must be dealt with fairness and justice. A lack of concern for the poor and disadvantaged people is a sign of wickedness, is it not? (Prov 12:26; 28:5, 15). When James wrote his epistle, there were believers persecuted and, in many cases, robbed of property and possessions. Cruel landowners cheated and lied to avoid paying the people they hired for work justly. James writes: "Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you" (Jas 5:4–6).Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 29:6 (ESV) 6 A man who flatters his neighborspreads a net for his feet. THE EVIL OF FLATTERY Undue compliments or excessive praises toward a person are expressions of flatteries. Being flattered is temptation, is it not?. A flatterer is dishonest. He is manipulative by lying (Prov 6:24; 26:28; 6:16–19). Smooth words set a trap for the person believing a flattery. An example of this is the sly, left-handed Ehud, who greeted the King of Moab with favorable words, then gruesomely assassinated the unsuspecting king (Judges 3:15–23). Most interpreters read this as a warning that the one who flatters sets a trap for himself. He set a net for himself, which speaks of being tangled in one's own sins. (Prov 29:6b) Sir Walter Scott, was right to say, "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." Here, the flatterer is spreading out a net that will eventually cause him to trip. Since flattery is lying, the flatterer risks being caught in his dishonesty by others. Liars are inconsistent. They are telling different things to different people, that would trap them someday. Or they may be forced to admit their praise was deceptive. Lies contradict truth, and they eventually contradict each other. What does this mean to us today? We as believers are summoned to recognize that lying is a work of the flesh that contradicts a life led by the Spirit (Gal 5:16). Paul commands the Colossians, "Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices" (Col 3:9). Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 29:1 (ESV) 1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,will suddenly be broken beyond healing. BROKEN BEYOND HEALING A thing that becomes useless when it is broken is disposable, is it not? These things generally are cheap and won't last long. Such is the person who is unteachable. Their continual hardening may cause them to become stiff. When crisis comes and they break apart beyond repair. Sad.  This is one of the most ominous verses in the Bible. Solomon warns, “When the tempest passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is established forever.” (Prov 10:25). Those who stubbornly refuse to be corrected, despite many warnings, put themselves at risk of sudden, catastrophic disaster (Prov 6:15; 8:32–36). The legal or social consequences can't be ignored. It might mean physical injury or death. Who is "stiff neck" or a "hardened neck" people? They are people who refuse to bow in submission, or even to nod in agreement. They are pictured as livestock, an animal refusing to respond to commands. The bible is littered with examples. In Noah's day, the culture was thoroughly wicked and hardened. They refused to accept God's goodness. As a result, everyone except Noah and his family perished in the flood God unleashed on the earth (Gen 6:5–8). The Israelites who wandered the desert for forty years were said to be stiff-necked people (Ex 33; Neh 9:16–18). King Hezekiah, in calling the people who had escaped the Assyrians to celebrate Passover, warned them to return to the Lord and not "be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lᴏʀᴅ and come to his sanctuary … and serve the Lᴏʀᴅ your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you" (2 Chronicles 30:8). Hezekiah reminded the people that "God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him" (2 Chron 30:9). John the Baptist warned the stiff-necked, self-righteous Pharisees and Sadducees, "Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire" (Mat 3:10). Stephen accused his murderers of being "stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you" (Acts 7:51). One of those was Paul. Stiffening one's neck against the truth of God is a deplorable state. Yet, God is unchanging and remains merciful to all who turn to Him in faith (Eph 2:1–10; 1 Cor 6:9–11). Even so, the apostle Peter warns, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed" (2 Pet 3:9–10). Foremost example of change is Paul. Paul the persecutor was changed by the grace of God. When it comes to God, some obstinately ignore His many warnings and invitations to be saved (Rom 1:18–20; Micah 7:18–19). While God is merciful and gracious, He does not offer infinite patience, does He? And God takes His hands off an obstinate unbeliever and simply "lets them go" wherever their sin will take them (Rom 1:26–28; 1 Sam 2:25). That means a life without God and an eternity of hopeless doom (Rev 20:15; John 3:36). Eventually, the opportunity to repent would be gone. There comes a time when Jesus will come to judge this world.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:28 (ESV) 28 When the wicked rise, people hide themselves,but when they perish, the righteous increase.  WHAT KIND OF LEADERS WE NEED? When evil people come to power, they drive their subjects to hide (Prov 28:2, 4, 12, 15–16). That might not mean literally that people are cowering underground. But, it can include fear of speaking or expressing. The more a culture becomes wicked, the fewer good examples are seen, so decadence into sin accelerates (Prov 14:34; 29:18). These selfish and wicked rulers see their roles as an opportunity to obtain power and wealth (Prov 22:16, 22; 31:9). But, godly leaders seek to honor the Lord and serve their people (Prov 16:12; 20:26; 29:4). This verse presents a vivid contrast. When those wicked oppressors die, righteous people no longer hide; they increase, literally, "become great." They celebrate the demise of the wicked rulers (Proverbs 11:10), and they thrive. They come out of hiding and become prosperous. Take for example the reign of Ahab and Jezebel in 1 Kings 16:30–33; 21:25. They caused God's prophets to go into hiding (1 Kings 18:4). It was a reign of terror. This pattern even is revealed to happen during the end times. The tribulation period will see the rise of two beasts, a political and religious (Rev 13:1–18). Their evil influence would be global, and the beasts would force people to serve them under penalty of death (Rev 13:5–10). But, Jesus would judge them and seize control of earth. He will reign in righteousness for a thousand years, and people will thrive during those peaceful times (Rev 20:1–6). Today's cruel and unjust leaders should remind us to hope. For Jesus is going to fulfil His words. He is our ultimate leader. As Isaiah has prophesied;“6 For to us a child is born,to us a son is given;and the government shall be upon his shoulder,and his name shall be calledWonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.7 Of the increase of his government and of peacethere will be no end,on the throne of David and over his kingdom,to establish it and to uphold itwith justice and with righteousnessfrom this time forth and forevermore.The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.”[Isa 9:6,7]Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Prov 28:27 (ESV) 27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want,but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse. GIVING TO THE POOR Caring for the weak and needy is following God's will. “ Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.” (Prov 14:31). This is one reason that those who are generous are more likely to succeed than those who are entitled and stingy. “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.” (Prov 11:24; 28:22,25). This is contrasted with those who claim they didn't know about the needs of others, when they're simply choosing to look the other way (Prov 21:13; 24:11–12). The Lord, even most men, look favorably on those who are generous. But, greedy people are looked down on. (Prov 11:26; 28:3). Generosity reflects a godly spirit. “Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.” (Prov 14:21) In the Law God gave to Israel, He told farmers not to harvest fields right up to the edge or strip their vineyards bare. They were to leave some of the wheat and the fallen grapes for the poor and those travelling (Lev 19:9–10). When Naomi returned from Moab to Bethlehem, she was a widow, and was accompanied by her widowed daughter-in-law Ruth. Naomi had a relative of her late husband who was a righteous man. His name was Boaz, and he was a farmer. He was also very generous. Seeing Ruth following the reapers in his field and gleaning after them, Boaz instructed his reapers to let Ruth follow behind them to get the most possible grain. He also provided her with water and food (Ruth 2).  Let us not close our eyes to the needy. For “whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” (Prov 19:17)Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:23 (ESV) 23 Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favorthan he who flatters with his tongue. A REBUKE MAY GAIN FAVOR If we genuinely "love" a person, we do care for his well-being, don't we? And this may mean speaking uncomfortable truths in direct, loving ways at times. (Eph 4:15). A "reproof" or "rebuke" is a strong, bold or direct confrontation. The wise would listen to correction and advice objectively. (Prov 3:11; 10:17; 15:31) They will appreciate the guidance given by a true friend (Prov 17:10; 27:5, 6, 17). Telling the truth gains one more respect. Flattery is not a proof of true love and concern. (Prov 19:1; 24:26; 26:24, 28). It's giving false assurance. It is wrong and is not loving (Prov 13:24; Jas 5:20). In his letter to the Galatians, the apostle Paul explains how a loving brother should show love to an erring brother. He is going restore a brother who is caught in sin and error in an effective way He writes: "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted" (Gal 6:1). One of the major responsibilities of a pastor or elder is to reprove and rebuke as necessary (2 Tim 2:24–26). The church leader whose preaching or counsel is designed simply to make people feel good about themselves is not fulfilling his responsibility. He is not truly "loving" toward others.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:22 (ESV) 22 A stingy man hastens after wealthand does not know that poverty will come upon him. - BEWARE OF ‘GET-RICH-QUICK' SCHEMES Today, we are overwhelmed with ‘get-rich-quick schemes' offers in the social media. These dishonest business practices often result in disaster. The Ponzi scheme is an example. It is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from new capital paid by new investors, rather than from profit earned through legitimate business activities. The person who "chases" after wealth or cheats others get rich can expect disastrous consequences. (Prov 23:4; 28:20; 13:11; 20:17; 11:4; 22:16). Frauds, con artists, gamblers, and unwise investors have learned this lesson the hard way. Even if wealth is gained legitimately, but not used in a godly way, it's likely to vanish away as well (Prov 11:24). Paul told Timothy that false teachers have unhealthy desires for money that inspire many other sins. The love of money is the root of all evil. (1 Tim 6:10). He noted that "those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction" (1 Tim 6:9). Other proverbs caution that accumulation of material wealth is worthless pursuit. On the contrary, we should strive for moral integrity (Prov 8:11; 10:2; 15:27; 16:8, 16; 19:1). Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:21 (ESV) 21 To show partiality is not good,but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.  THE EVIL OF PARTIALITY Right judgment is needed in our relationships. It includes distinguishing between persons on a fair and reasoned basis. Otherwise, we will become partial. "Partiality," here, is giving an unfair preference to one person over another. A common example is giving more respect to a rich man over a poor one (Jas 2:1–4). It's a sin to act unfairly. The Book of Proverbs condemns unfairness in judgment explicitly.(Prov 17:26; 18:5; 24:23). Unfortunately, human beings are corrupt by nature so that they are prone to the error of partiality. Sadly, this verse notes that some will act immorally for a trivial reward, represented by a piece of bread. The Lord God shows no partiality (Acts 10:34). He loves the whole world. (John 3:16). Jesus demonstrated His impartiality in John chapter 4. It records a conversation between Jesus and a Samaritan woman, who was surprised that Jesus would speak to her. The Jews looked down the Samaritans and avoided all contact with them (John 4:9).  After He arose from death, Jesus commissioned the apostles to proclaim the good news of salvation to all people in all places, regardless of race and ethnicity (Acts 1:8). In his epistle, the apostle James chides his readers for treating the rich well but not the poor. He writes: "If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin" (Jas 2:8–9).Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:15,16 (ESV) 15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bearis a wicked ruler over a poor people.16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. A WICKED RULER OVER A POOR PEOPLE What is the effect an ungodly ruler's oppressive rule has upon his subjects? Through violence, repression, hardship, or other difficult means, the evil tyrant drives people into hiding. The mention of "a poor people" may suggest heavy taxation, theft, and other types of direct abuse. How do people afflicted this way respond? If they are under the leadership of a merciless predator? They will resort to hiding (see v.12). Most notorious dictators do rule by fear and intimidation, don't they? In contrast, godly rulers inspire confidence and security in their people. As a result, the people learn to trust that the leader will do what is right (Prov 28:2; 29:2).  In Moses' day, Pharaoh ruled Egypt with a heavy hand. He made life especially miserable for the Jews, enslaving them. He assigned cruel masters "to afflict them with heavy burdens" (Ex 1:11). They "ruthlessly made the Jews work as slaves and made their lives bitter with hard service. He demanded to produce more bricks, when he did not supply the mortar. In all their works, he ruthlessly made them work as slaves" (Ex 1:13–14). Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lPuuvKVODmgListen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Audible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audibleFollow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio#gospellightfilipino#godswordfortoday 

Text: Proverbs 28:14 (ESV) 14 Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always,but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.  DO FEAR THE LORD ALWAYS The term translated into English as "fear" may refer to both an emotional feeling or respect or reverence (Prov 1:7; Lev 19:32). Both concepts are important, but this verse is more inclined to the idea of alarm or dread. Those who stubbornly ignore the dangers of sin, warnings from others or God's clear commands) set themselves up for a disaster or catastrophe (Prov 8:32–36; 22:5; 12:15; 1:23). This attitude is describing someone who "hardens his heart." It is a common phrase refereing to obstinate disobedience to the Lord (Ex 7:13; Dan 5:20; John 12:40). Some translators interpret this as an appeal to revere God. This is not an unreasonable conclusion, even if the Hebrew text itself does not mention "the LORD." For a person to be properly reverent and seek goodness, obedience to God is implied (Proverbs 2:6–9). This fear is the reason for repentance (v.13).  Psalm 1 describes blessedness by loving God's Word and obeying it. This means refusing any influence from the ungodly. While the wicked receive divine judgment and are eternally separated from God, the person who reveres the Lord enjoys a productive life. Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount used a term meaning "blessed" or "happy" to describe "those who hunger and thirst for righteousness" (Mat 5:6). The choice must be clear. Should a person chose to honor the Lord and "fear" evil, he will be blessed. If someone hardens his heart against the Lord, he is going towards disastrous trouble.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:13 (ESV) 13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. CONCEAL OR CONFESS The first and most foolish human error was the attempt to hide his sins from the Creator (see Gen 3:8–10). God knows everything (1 John 3:20). Nobody can hide from God (Heb 4:13). Those who hide from God don't respect His authority. He is gripped with pride and unbelief. (Psa 10:11–13). The person who pretends to be blameless will be judged, while the one who confesses his sin will be forgiven (1 John 1:9–10; Luke 18:10–14). King David is the classic example. He tried to cover his sin of adultery. He went so far as to have one of his valiant men killed (see 2 Sam 1112). His soul and body suffered immense pain until he confessed to the Lord. His words in Psalm 32 and 51 attest to his guilt when he tried to hide his crimes, as well as his deep relief upon confessing and receiving forgiveness. David exclaims, "Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered" (Psa 32:1). Today, is not the person who admits wrongdoing before they are caught is usually given more leniency than those who tried to hide their sin and caught? The saying, "the cover-up is often worse than the crime" is true.  Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:8 (ESV) 8 Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profitgathers it for him who is generous to the poor. BEWARE OF USURY Under the Mosaic law, the Israelites were forbidden to charge their fellow countrymen with usury on money, food, or anything else (see Lev 25:36–37). Usurious practices are wrong, even sinful. Loans were intended to help the poor. It is not to exploit them so the lender can become rich. This warning echoes God's view that earthly wealth is temporary (Prov 23:4–5; Jas 4:13–14; Luke 12:16–21). A greedy person can hoard wealth, but that wealth does not follow them to the afterlife.  Ill-gotten wealth through usury will ultimately pass into the hands of someone who is generous to the poor. Justice will overcome injustice eventually. In Jesus' day, tax collectors, or "publicans," were notorious offenders of usury. They are tasked to collect taxes for the Romans who occupied Israel around the time of the Gospels. The Romans allowed the collectors to add additional charges, as payment to the collectors. Many abused this privilege to line their own pockets. Their reputation was so horrendous that being a tax collector was as offensive as being a prostitute.  One of those was Zacchaeus. He believed inJesus and became a faithful follower. To compensate victims of his prior sins of usury, he was willing to give half of his wealth to the poor and to give back four times what he had taken unfairly (Luke 19:8). His generosity was his resolve to prove he was sincere in his faith.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:9 (ESV) 9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,even his prayer is an abomination. PRAYER AND THE LAW One of the more common wrong view of God is that He is as a vending machine, or a genie. They will ignore His laws and commands but He is still expected to hear and grant their prayer requests. God despises this attitude, both when attached to prayer and to sacrifice. “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he loves him who pursues righteousness.” (Prov 15:8,9).  The term used for His reaction comes from the Hebrew word which implies deep disgust and loathing. When someone has no concern for God's will, or obedience, or repentance, their attempts to "play religious" are met with the equivalent of divine nausea. Even a "good deed" is a sin when it's done out of insincere motives. God is sovereign. He has the right to respond to anyone's prayer in any way He chooses. He may respond to an appeal from a non-believer as a means of calling or His working for them to faith. However, those who reject God have no valid reason to expect positive answers to their prayers. Scripture makes it clear that sin and disbelief are barriers to His cooperation.[Isa 59:2] The psalmist understood that sin builds a barrier between prayer and a positive response from God. Psalm 66:18 says, "If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened." The man born blind who was healed by Jesus told the Pharisees, "We know that God does not listen to sinners" (John 9:31). Jesus strongly denounced the Pharisees because of their hypocrisy. He told the story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. Both entered the temple to pray. The tax collector who humbly admitted he was a sinner and asked God to be merciful to him went home justified by God. But, the self-righteous Pharisee who saw others as sinful but himself as righteous was not heard by God. (see Luke 18:9–14).Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:7 (ESV) 7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,but a companion of gluttons shames his father. BE A SON WITH UNDERSTANDING A wise son pays careful attention to God's law (Prov 1:7; 8:33–36). He is cautious in his associations with others for they will influence him either towards good or bad.(Prov 13:20). Close association with ungodly people risks trouble (Prov 22:24–25) This will lead to his reputation be questioned. (Prov 3:1–4; 20:19; 24:21). This also leads critics to question the integrity of his family (Prov 29:15). When a son or student live in godliness, it will reflect well on their parents or teacher's reputation. (Prov 23:22–25; 27:11). Spending time with ‘gluttons' will affect the honor of the parents. They will be embarassed. "Gluttons," in this context, means those who indulge in any desire beyond reasonable limits. In today's usage, this term typically refers to indulgence of food. However, the general principle can apply to hobbies, vices, or addictions as well.  Spending time with people lacking self-control can influence a person to sin, or being caught up unnecessarily in someone else's consequences. Hence, the apostle Paul warned us, "Do not be deceived: 'Bad company ruins good morals.'" (1 Cor 15:33). False teachers are enemies of the cross of Christ (Phi 3:18) Their "end is destruction" and "their god is their belly" (Phi 3:19). Contrariwise, it is commendable to feast on God's Word certainly.(Psa 119:103) It is sinful to overindulge in food or pleasure. It is a sign that one lacks wisdom.

God's Word for Today26 Jul, 20256 Better is a poor man who walks in his integritythan a rich man who is crooked in his ways.-Prov 28:6 ESV INTEGRITYIntegrity is a consistent theme in the Bible, isn't it? It is better to be right with God and lacking in worldly goods or accolades than to have material comfort and be spiritually doomed (Prov 16:19; 19:22; 22:2; Mat 16:26; 19:23).The word ‘crooked' in Hebrew word could be translated as "perverse." This implies something being twisted, distorted, or warped. In this context, this can refer to shrewed business practices or blatant corruption. A person gaining wealth through corruption might think they are better off. But, he cannot escape spiritual judgment under God's perfect justice. A dishonest person may try to claim that his finances and faith are separate but Scripture disagrees. There is no dichotomy in the Christian life. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus quotes, "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."Sadly, the thought of giving up earthly wealth and comfort may make people hesitant to accept the gospel. The rich man who approached Jesus is the example. He claimed he had done everything he could for God when asking Jesus about salvation. He was self-confident until Jesus challenged him to give up his money. Instead of obeying Jesus, the man became sad and walked away from Christ (see Luke 18:18-23; Matthew 19:22). His wealth possessed him. Our wealth should be Jesus alone. Nothing else. He is true who won't bargain Jesus with anything else. Our attitude towards wealth is a test of faith, that is, unless faith in Jesus is more important than wealth, we should suspect it is not saving faith. (Luke 9:23–25; Mat 19:29).

Nazario Giuliani presenta "L'anteprima di un amore" su Radio Delta 1. Ascolta l'intervista integrale negli studi della radio con Daniele Di Ianni.

Fue predicador, asesino y fundador de uno de los cárteles más temidos de Michoacán. Nazario Moreno, conocido como El Chayo o El más loco, combinaba pasajes bíblicos con rituales sangrientos y un culto a su propia figura. En este episodio de Mundo Narco exploramos el origen, la ideología y el violento legado del líder de La Familia Michoacana y Los Caballeros Templarios, el capo que el gobierno dio por muerto dos veces… hasta que finalmente cayó.

Text: Proverbs 28:2 (ESV) 2 When a land transgresses, it has many rulers,but with a man of understanding and knowledge,its stability will long continue.  STABILITY A nation that rebels against God by tolerating sins may find itself cycling through many kings, rulers, or governors(Rom 1:18–20; Prov 14:34). Likewise, a nation with wildly inconsistent and incompetent leadership is prone to chaos and rebellion. We call this nation a ‘banana republic.' People searching for an answer to chaos often turn to grab the sword by its blade. They kept electing an increasing number of incompetent rulers that become tyrants. Whereas, the wise, stable, and godly leadership will lead a nation towards stability and security. Israel is not exempt in this. The Old Testament records the spiralling down of Israel's history after the reigns of David and Solomon. In a relatively short period of time, numerous kings ruled over the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This fast turnover was especially apparent in the northern kingdom, which was overrun by the Assyrians a century earlier. The southern kingdom was overruled by the Babylonians, later. Definitely, good leaders in government contribute to peace. Thus, Paul urged Timothy to lead believers to pray for earthly leaders of all kinds, "that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way" (1 Timothy 2:1–2). There is no government or institution that will become stable without God. God is indispensable in our marriages and churches. As Psa 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house,those who build it labor in vain.Unless the Lord watches over the city,the watchman stays awake in vain.”Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 28:1 (ESV) 1 The wicked flee when no one pursues,but the righteous are bold as a lion. THE RIGHTEOUS IS AS BOLD AS A LION A coward is defensive. To be defensive even without an accusation is a sign of a guilty conscience, is it not? A person who feels guilty for something—or believes as much—may become excessive in attempts to clear their name. Their excessive claims of innocence seem insincere and overdone, to the point of suggesting guilt, instead. Here, it depicts the morally guilty persons as paranoid, because of their bothered conscience. They act silly like the little boy who is afraid of his own shadow. They are haunted, leading them to assume that consequences are always just around the corner. In this torturous imagery, they are like criminals who are running away from law officers even when they are not aware of any crime has happened. In the eyes of God, this attempt to "flee" from accountability is a common human response to God. Take for example the life of Jonah. When he refused to obey God, he boarded a ship that was bound for Tarshish, a destination as far from Nineveh as possible (Jon 1:1–3). During God's judgment in the future, God will rain down wrath on the wicked, and the world leaders will try to hide from God. They will wish for landslides to cover them from His anger (Rev 6:15–17). By contrast, those with a clear conscience have no such fears.[ (Acts 24:16, Heb 13:18] Lions are fearless by nature. They have no fear towards any predators or hostile enemies. They proceed with confidence and assurance, lacking fear, that is, they are "bold." The person who does right can be more courageous than a lion. They can rest assured that God will vindicate them in the end (1 Pet 3:16. They have peace with God. And this peace is a genuine benefit of personal integrity (Psa 4:8; Prov 10:9). Today, thank God that we can face boldly before God because of the righteousness of Christ [2Cor 5:21]. When we sin and we are bothered, let's thank the Lord for it prompts us to seek for His forgiveness. Otherwise, we will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:23-27 (ESV) 23 Know well the condition of your flocks,and give attention to your herds,24 for riches do not last forever;and does a crown endure to all generations?25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appearsand the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,26 the lambs will provide your clothing,and the goats the price of a field.27 There will be enough goats' milk for your food,for the food of your householdand maintenance for your girls. GIVING OUR FULL ATTENTION Diligence is of primary importance to a rancher. It is extremely important for a rancher to know well the condition of his livestock, is it not? He should care for them diligently. A lazy and careless rancher will hurt not only the livestock but his economy as well. What applies to the rancher's care towards his livestock applies to anyone who is responsible for a business or an institution as well. Idleness will surely cause a business and institution to fail.  This sentiment can also be applied to stewardship of one's personal finances. Inattention or ignorance of the condition of one's finances can lead to negative outcomes. This is equally true when related to management over or responsibility of the money and properties of others. Knowing the condition of one's flocks, or the flocks of others, shows proactive steps to monitor their well-being. An example is a church pastor or elder. He needs to know the condition of his flock and care for the sheep, which are God's people. Paul was emphatic to say to the elders at Ephesus, “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.”[Acts 20:28]  Let us recall how Jesus had commissioned the apostle Peter to feed Jesus' lambs, tend His sheep, and feed His sheep (John 21:15–17). Later, Peter charged the elders among the scattered Jewish believers to "shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:2–3). The following verses (v.24–27) reinforce the idea of knowing the condition of one's flocks and giving attention to one's herds. “for riches do not last forever;and does a crown endure to all generations?25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appearsand the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,26 the lambs will provide your clothing,and the goats the price of a field.27 There will be enough goats' milk for your food,for the food of your householdand maintenance for your girls.” Diligent planning and effort today is more likely to result in good outcomes tomorrow. This is a reminder also to parents. If we don't diligently guide our children, their life's destiny is at stake. Let's be faithful in rearing our children in the fear of God.[Prov 22:6, Eph 6:2-4]Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:19 (ESV) 19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.  THE NEED OF SELF-REFLECTION Still water is as a mirror. When you look into a pool, you will see your reflection. You can see what you truly look like, which might be different from what you think. Similarly, a person's heart reflects who he really is. Self-examination is a necessary thing (2 Cor 13:5; Prov 4:26). It can surface out what's happening deep within ourselves. Some thought that this "reflection" in question comes through other people. Their argument is that this is in line with the idea presented in an earlier proverb that ‘iron sharpens iron' (Prov 27:17). In other words, it implies that one learns more about themselves by seeing how words and actions are received by others. It also echoes the idea of two people interacting "face to face." The imagery of the "heart" here is typically associated with thoughts and attitudes more than with emotions or desires. However, let us be warned for we have reasons to be skeptical of our own "hearts," regardless of the context. Why? Jeremiah depicts the natural human heart as deceitful and desperately wicked.[Jer 17:9] Our corrupted heart leads us away from God (Isa 53:6). Paul even says, "All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." Adding to the description of unregenerate individuals, he says, "Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their path are ruin and misery" (Romans 3:12-15). But God does give sinners a new heart and a new way of living, doesn't He? When He changes the heart, He sets a person on a new path. The apostle Paul explains that with redemption comes adoption into God's family. And God sends the Spirit of Jesus into our hearts. Immediately, the old sinful habits will begin to drop off, and the new godly habits will take their place. As Paul said, “ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 Cor 5:17) This transformation is the work of the Spirit alone.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:17 (ESV) 17 Iron sharpens iron,and one man sharpens another.  IRON SHARPENS IRON  In ancient days, the common method to sharpen steel or iron was to use a similar piece of metal. When the two scrape against each other, both are shaped and rough spots and rust are removed. In the same manner, two people can interact and help refine each other.  Other proverbs note the importance of hearing other people's views, such as; “Where there is no guidance, a people falls,but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”[Prov 11:14] “ The one who states his case first seems right,until the other comes and examines him.”[Prov 18:17] “Oil and perfume make the heart glad,and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.”[Prov 27:9).  Of particular note is that this lesson implies a constructive level of conflict. There must be friction. The two pieces don't become sharper unless they bump into each other (Prov 27:6)! Fellow believers who never challenge or question one another are liable to remain dull and narrow-minded. The bible is replete with examples. Jesus may have sent His disciples out two by two because each one would sharpen the other's testimony. The process of mentoring is also a good example of one Christian improving the spiritual life of the other. The apostle Paul mentored the younger Timothy with intentionality. And, he charged Timothy to mentor others. He writes, "What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also."[2 Tim 2:2] In the Old Testament, David and Jonathan are a good example of two men who improved each other's lives. True friendship can help edify two people to enjoy a stronger faith and a buoyant spirit. The dynamics of friendship include encouraging each other, laughing together, sympathizing together, and praying together. An important consideration is to carefully choose who we "brush up against." A good friend can lead us to self-improvement and greater godliness (Prov 12:5; 15:22; 17:17). On the contrary, ungodly people are likely to lead us towards conflict, sin, and disaster (Prov 13:20; 22:24–25; 23:20).Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:18 (ESV) 18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,and he who guards his master will be honored. DILIGENCE HAS REWARDS Diligence and hard work usually pay off. Generally, a person who puts in the necessary work will reap the expected rewards of those efforts and sacrifices. Farmers can't reap crops unless they plant and tend to them, can they? Athletes win because they've invested time and effort by rigid training. An employee is more likely to be honored and promoted by an employer when they perform well. Any righteous effort to work hard, for the right things, will ultimately be rewarded by God (Eph 6:5–8). Fig trees were important source of food in the Middle East. One day, Jesus and His disciples passed by a fig tree. Jesus expected that a fig tree would be fruitful. Upon seeing that it was barren, he cursed it (Mat 21:18–19). This story has an allusion in Amos 4:9. The Lord said He was chastising Israel to lead them to repent. The Lord recalls, "I struck you with blight and mildew…your fig trees and your olive trees the locusts devoured; yet you did not return to me." There was an old man at his deathbed saying to his two sons that he had left for them an inheritance. He buried it in the vineyard. When the man died, the two brothers began digging the vineyard diligently. They did it day in and day out, but no treasure can be found. However, they noticed that the vines bear clusters of fruit. Then and only then, they realized the wisdom of their father. The treasure is the fruitful vine because of their hard work.Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:12 (ESV) 12The prudent sees danger and hides himself,but the simple go on and suffer for it. BE PRUDENT It is always wise to try to avoid undue risks. We have to think many times over when making decisions. However, the simple-minded person is impulsive. He walks headlong into danger. God wants us to seek "wisdom." That is, a proper understanding of God and His will (Prov 1:7; 2:6–7). The exercise of being "prudent," or "sensible," is to gather a lot of related information and notice risks and to take appropriate steps. Those who are governed by mere grit and emotion tend to act out of bravado. They lack the intelligence or the self-control to be aware of dangers. Thus, they often suffer the consequences of bad decisions (Prov 6:5; 13:14; 22:5). This lesson applies both to physical and spiritual threats. Let us be aware that the Devil is deceitful to set dangerous traps. And, he tries to lure believers into them. An unwise person is prone to walk right into such snares and traps. But, a prudent believer heeds the apostle Peter's exhortation, that is, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith" (1 Pet 5:8–9). In a similar warning, the apostle Paul refers to the schemes of the Devil. He counsels believers to "take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm" (Ephesians 6:11-13).  Peter learned this lesson the hard way. Although Jesus warned him that the Devil planned to aggressively tempt him, he exuded with much arrogance and self-confidence. He strongly assured Jesus that he would never forsake Jesus (Luke 22:30-33). Before long, however, Peter slid into the Devil's trap and denied Jesus vehemently three times (Luke 22:60–62). The humble sees danger approaching and avoid it. Hence, he is prudent.

Text: Proverbs 27:11 (ESV) 11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,that I may answer him who reproaches me. A WISE SON, A GLAD FATHER  A child's behavior do reflect on their parents, don't they? Kids who act badly bring shame on their fathers and mothers (Prov 17:25; 19:26). This is not absolute. We see well-raised children still making poor choices in life. Nevertheless, either right or wrong conduct of children is attributed to their upbringing. The impression of people is ‘like father like son.' In a similarway, students are reflections of their teachers.  Professing Christians, whether true or not, do affect the reputation of Jesus Christ. Do our deeds and attitudes reflect that we belong to God? As Matthew 5:16 exhorts believers, "Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." The apostle Paul gives a similar exhortation, saying, "Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world."[ Phil 2:14–15]Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:9-10 (ESV) 9 Oil and perfume make the heart glad,and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.10 Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend,and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity.Better is a neighbor who is nearthan a brother who is far away. DO VALUE A FRIEND'S ADVICE In the ancient world, oil was used popularly for soothing wounds and for giving a massage. The Good Samaritan used oil and wine to treat an abused traveler's wounds (Luke 10:34). James also mentions the anointing of the sick with oil (Jas 5:14). A woman of ill repute washed Jesus' feet with expensive ointment and received His commendation (Luke 7:37–48). The same concept is used here of healing and honor tthrough the loving advices given by a true friend. A friend who is like a soothing oil is priceless. Solomon writes, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!" [Ecc 4:9–10] Such friend shows genuine love and is often expressed as correction (v.5–6). It is well-timed and well-suited to the situation (Prov 15:23).  The implication of the Hebrew phrases used here is to take a friend's advice than insisting on one's own opinion. Indeed, a loving guidance is pleasant and valuable. In some interpretations like the NIV, it implies that what makes a friendship pleasant is the "heartfelt advice" it brings.  Each one of us do have a blind spot, don't we? It will take a genuine friend to alert us to warn us not to fall into ruin. Let's not be a person who is easy to take an offense. Someone who has an onion skin. When a stranger will say something about us, me may not pay careful attention. But, we should pay attention to a loving friend. He is ‘speaking the truth in love.” [Eph 4:15] Faithful are the wounds of a friend. Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

God's Word for Today5 Jul, 20258 Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.-Prov 27:8 ESV BE AT HOMEA bird wandering from nest to nest is trading security for insecurity. This restless bird will become vulnerable to danger, hunger, and isolation. This is especially true if the bird is young. It is not ready to survive in the wild world on its own. Similarly, a man who leaves home out of discontent faces insecurity, danger, hunger, and isolation. Ultimately, he may regret his decision to leave home.Jesus related the story of the prodigal son that illustrates this person. He demanded his share of the inheritance from his father. He left and wandered far from home, squandered his money, and lived with reckless abandon. After depleting his inheritance, he worked as a pig herder and fed the pigs. He was so mesirable and destitute that he was tempted to eat the pigs' food. At last, he came to his senses. He regretted his actions and longed to be back home. Fortunately, he returned home and found his loving father waiting for him (see Luke 15:11–24).What does this mean to us today? There is no safer place apart from home. And, God is our home.

Text: Proverbs 27:7 (ESV) 7 One who is full loathes honey,but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet. ENTITLEMENT AND INGRATITUDE Abundance may breed ingratitude. When one is full, even delicious foods, like honey, are not appealing anymore. However, when one is starving, even unpleasant food seems tasty and palatable. Since the ancient world, honey has been the symbol of something sweet and delicious. But, how much honey could a person consume? A person could eat up to a point wherein the thought of eating more brings nausea or vomiting.  There is also an implied lesson here. Likely, this is to highlight the different attitudes of wealthy and impoverished people. A wealthy person may not appreciate what they are offered. However, a poor person appreciates even a small gift. The attitudes of ingratitude and entitlement are prone to anyone, especially if he is used to getting what he wants. The point is that it is not wrong to enjoy God's blessings. The feeling of familiarity, entitlement, and ungratefulness makes it wrong. This is a major reason Jesus warned about the spiritual risks associated with rich people. He said, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Mat 19:23). James, on the other hand, says, “Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?” [Jas 2:5] To despise what God has provided would be ungrateful. It befits to be thankful for what we have. Could anyone claim anything he has that he gets by his power and not from God? Everything comes from God. James tells us, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change" (Jas 1:17). Paul warned Timothy about false teachers who mandated celibacy and abstinence from certain foods. He declares that God created those foods "to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving" (1 Tim 4:3–4).Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:3 (ESV) 3 A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,but a fool's provocation is heavier than both. DEALING WITH AN INJURIOUS PERSON The fools are injurious people. The ‘fool's anger' could be "heavy" to bear, as if being forced to carry a heavy stone or boulder. Given a literal choice, many people would rather struggle to lift a heavy load than withstand constant irritation from an enemy. This type of fool is impetuous and self-willed. (Prov 1:7; 22:10) He lacks self-discipline. He spurts false accusations or purposeful lies in unrestrained anger (Prov 10:19; 25:28). The Bible often advises that we ignore petty insults and not respond to those merely looking for trouble (Prov 20:3; 1 Pet 4:15; Mat 7:6; Prov 12:16; Mat 5:39 ). This is not easy to do, especially when the insults become injurious. It can be extraordinarily difficult to "rise above" a persistent troublesome person. Our patience will run out. Part of the wisdom in this statement comes from the power of understanding and embracing the person as he is. We won't be affected much if we embrace the person with tolerance and understanding. Injurious people are like porcupines. We know that it has sharp spines so we have to provide distance ourselves. We can't change its nature but change our responses toward it. Wisdom teaches us best to ignore such provocation from an injurious person. Take for example the way Jesus dealt with injurious people. When He was falsely reviled, he did not retaliate. Instead, He "continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly" (1 Pet 2:23). Peter cites Jesus' response to aggression as an example believers should follow when they suffer similar injustice. He writes: "But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God" (1 Peter 2:20).Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Proverbs 27:2 (ESV) 2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;a stranger, and not your own lips. LET ANOTHER PRAISE YOU  It is wrong to brag about things we have not yet accomplished (see v.1). However, it is equally wrong to brag about things we have accomplished. Arrogance is always wrong. Pride is a grievous sin. This is an imagery of someone flaunting with an inflated sense of one's own greatness. Even if the statements are true, ‘blowing one's horn' doesn't look good to others. The better option is to let others speak well of you. It seems more like sincere praise and less like bragging. In the book of Daniel chapter 4, we learn that King Nebuchadnezzar foolishly bragged about his past victories. He was walking on the palace roof and viewing the city of Babylon when he sang his own praises. He boasted: "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?" (Dan 4:30). Before he was even done speaking, a heavenly voice declared his impending humiliation. That humiliation would include insanity, wallowing with animals, and eating grass. For seven years Nebuchadnezzar endured this until he fully understood "that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will" (Daniel 4:31–34). In the New Testament, the proud Herod robbed the glory of God and suffered the painful consequence also. “On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.” [Acts 12:20-23]. Indeed, pride comes before a fall. Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Text: Prov 27:1 ESV1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.-Prov 27:1 ESV DO NOT BOAST ABOUT TOMORROW No human being can infallibly predict what will happen in the future. Some occurences in life are predictable like sunrises and sunsets. Certainly, most are uncertain and unpredictable. A wise person do make plans, don't they? (Prov 16:3; 20:18; 24:27) But, they must take their fallibility and humanity into account. Making well-reasoned choices is different from arrogantly ignoring risks. Otherwise, he will be found boastful.The word "boast" translates a Hebrew root word rendered as "praise" later in this passage (Prov 27:2). This means no one should praise himself for what he hasn't yet accomplished. A popular statement warns "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched," no one can be sure that all eggs necessarily become birds. The things our human minds expect to happen might not happen, so we shouldn't speak of them as absolute guarantees. Such is the attitude criticized by the apostle James (Jas 4:13–16). He said, “13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”He explains, "You do not know what tomorrow will bring" (v.14). Life is not only uncertain, but it is also brief. Rather than having presumptions and overconfidence, we should approach the future with a sense of humility. "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that" is a better attitude (Jas 4:15). Thus, Solomon warns us to trust God and not our hearts. He said, “5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.”[Prov 3:5-7]-------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Though teaching is something I love doing, sometimes teaching PEM to an ED resident is challenging (for many reasons). Dr. Steven Nazario has been a physician and an educator for many years which is why I invited him on the show to talk about the challenges of teaching PEM to EM residents.  Here is the link to the Video Stephen was referring to.

It's easy to repeat oneself in fashion. Certain truths return again and again, not because we lack imagination, but because they remain unresolved. One of them is this—authenticity isn't rare because people are unwilling to be real, but because many still don't know who they are. Carlos Nazario does. And more than that, he shows up as himself, without spectacle and without self-mythologizing. What makes this conversation compelling isn't only his perspective on fashion or culture. It's the way he holds space for complexity—the exhaustion and the joy, the disenchantment and the deep love for the work. There's a calm clarity in how he speaks about image-making, identity, and the creative life. Not as fixed roles, but as evolving practices. For anyone feeling unmoored by the state of the industry or uncertain about how to keep creating in a time that feels increasingly TBD, this episode offers something more valuable than certainty. It offers perspective, and the steady presence of someone who has figured out how to move forward without losing himself along the way. “I love fashion. I don't always love the fashion industry.” - Carlos Nazario  Episode Highlights: Redefining Exhaustion in Creative Work - Carlos discusses the mental and emotional toll of fashion's nonstop pace—and why he refuses to glorify burnout, emphasizing presence, boundaries, and creative sustainability. Loving Fashion vs. Loving the Industry - He unpacks the tension between a deep love for fashion itself and disillusionment with the political performance of the industry. The Power and Limits of the Internet in Fashion - Carlos reflects on the democratization of commentary online, and how the resulting noise makes it harder to sift out meaningful, resonant work. Image as a Tool for Transformation - A powerful meditation on imagemaking as a vehicle for cultural change, generational thought, and emotional resonance. Resisting Small Talk, Embracing Realness - He shares his discomfort with surface-level conversations in industry spaces, and his craving for meaningful, emotionally honest exchanges. Retreat, Identity & Reclaiming the Self - A story about a therapeutic retreat—where he wasn't allowed to share his profession or last name—leads to a conversation about selfhood outside of industry labels. Critique vs. Cruelty - Carlos addresses the rise of snarky, anonymous fashion criticism, drawing a distinction between valuable critique and performative cruelty. The Weight of Representation - He speaks candidly about his experience as a Black, Afro-Latino stylist—and how resilience, optimism, and responsibility continue to shape his point of view. Time, Mortality & Legacy - A moving reflection on life's brevity, what it means to step away, and how true impact often comes from stillness and intentionality. What's Contemporary Now - Looking within. Carlos defines contemporaneity as self-awareness, intention, and resisting herd mentality in favor of independent thought. Learn more about your ad choices.
