Podcasts about Sabi

Gavin landed back in Australia just the day before recording, and he and Ken settle in for a full debrief on WDC 2026 in Athens. From the venues and the social activities to all four of Gavin's games and the top board, this one covers it all. Intro Ken sets up the episode – this one is going to be almost entirely about WDC 2026 Athens, because Gavin was there and has only just landed back in Australia (as at the time of recording) (15 secs) He notes the DBN coverage gave a strong account of the boards and Ed's player interviews, but plenty of the magic from Spyros Dovas and his organising team didn't make it to the stream (45 secs) Drinks are introduced: Ken is on one of his home-brew lagers with a kick, and Gavin is working through a leftover Sicilian Nero d'Avola that has turned a little sour – a fitting metaphor, he suggests, for how his first round went (1 min 45 secs) The tournament in aggregate Ken asks Gavin to give a broad overview – location, numbers, facilities, atmosphere (2 mins 45 secs) Around 106 players registered, though some didn't show due to last-minute issues. Approximately 5 Australian players couldn't attend because their original flights were routed through the Middle East (3 mins 30 secs) The geopolitical context: as of recording, the Middle East airspace situation was in week nine of its shutdown, forcing Australian travellers to reroute via Singapore, Hong Kong, or Malaysia. Some also baulked at the US transit option due to the documentation requirements (4 mins 30 secs) Despite the drop-outs, the turnout was excellent and genuinely representative – a heavy European component split between the UK and the rest of Europe, a strong French contingent, players from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and Norway, a good number of Americans and a couple of Canadians (including Chris Brand), around 10 Australians, and a couple of Kiwis (Dominick Stephens and Craig Purcell). The local Greek contingent, given the Athens club had only been running for about 18 months, was especially impressive (3 mins 30 secs) Tournament format: three regular rounds followed by a fourth round of tiered top boards. Rather than a single top board, the format featured seven simultaneous top boards – the top 7 players went to the premier board, players 8–14 played the second tier, 15–21 the third, and so on down through the field. Crucially, players who volunteered to sit out for round four to help with numbers kept their ranking position (7 mins) Ken and Gavin discuss how the tiered format means the fourth round is never a dead rubber – every board is still competing for something meaningful (8 mins 15 secs) Discussion of the central clock arrangement: effectively federation-based rather than a literal single clock, with the two main venues coordinating their start times by communication (9 mins 30 secs) The venues The main venue was the upstairs function space of a beachside restaurant operation – excellent location right on the waterfront, but somewhat cramped for negotiations once all the boards were in (9 mins 45 secs) As a result, boards were redistributed to the secondary venue: the Anchor bar, about 150–200 metres down the road. Gavin played two games in each location and considered the Anchor the better play space – more open, well ventilated, and with a large covered outdoor area next to a (drained) pool (11 mins) The colour-coded sash system made it easy to identify players by country but created the amusing challenge of locating your specific Italy in a room full of Italys from different boards (13 mins) The third venue – an outdoor shaded area – was reserved for the premier top board. Unlike Milan's car park, this one had good shade and plenty of room for spectators around the giant shadow board (13 mins 30 secs) Pre-tournament social activities Gavin outlines the structure: you could do as much or as little as you liked. He landed well due to a useful 5.5-hour Singapore layover that helped reset his body clock, and flew over on the same flight as tournament director Jamal Blakkarly (16 mins) They were met at Athens airport by Spyros, his wife, and daughter, who drove them to breakfast at a beautiful harbour-side restaurant in one of the small inlet bays east of Piraeus (18 mins 15 secs) Pre-tournament island stay: Gavin spent two days on Serifos, the island Spyros recommended and which has personal significance to his family (his grandfather was christened there). Spyros provided a detailed Google Map of the best spots. With the tourist season barely starting, Gavin got excellent last-minute accommodation at a family-run hotel and had the beaches almost entirely to himself (18 mins 45 secs) The island was so off-season that locals were literally still painting their furniture and kerbs in preparation. Gavin did the recommended hikes and swims, and the hotel gifted him a dry-bag left behind by a previous guest (20 mins 30 secs) Back in Athens overnight, Gavin caught up with a multinational squad of players including Shane, Brandon, Max, Zoe, Justin Law, Bradley Grace, and Karthik. They had dinner at an Italian restaurant with the Acropolis lit up above them (22 mins 30 secs) Hydra day trip (Wednesday): players caught the fast ferry from Piraeus out to Hydra (about 1.5 hrs). The island has a refined Venetian-Greek port feel, with rustic paths and rock beaches beyond. The group visited the Museum of the 1821 Greek Revolution, full of local history and artefacts. Gavin wore one of his Diplomacy shirts and ended up being an ambassador for the hobby to an American grandmother and her debate-champion granddaughter from North Carolina – and pointed them towards David Hood and the local hobby there (24 mins 15 secs) The water temperature at the beach was about 4–5 degrees colder than Australia, which meant the Europeans loved it and Gavin did not go in (26 mins 30 secs) Acropolis and Athens tour (Thursday): guided tour of the Acropolis by what Spyros described as the best guides operating there, followed by a walk through the Plaka and past the Panathenaic Stadium (venue of the first modern Olympics in 1896), then a seafood lunch at a beautiful harbourside restaurant (30 mins) Temple of Poseidon (Thursday evening): the most popular activity – the bus was packed. About halfway there, Spyros took everyone on an unannounced detour to a beach bar where they had the place to themselves, a wonderful surprise. The Temple itself sits on a peninsula with 270-degree sea views. Spyros told the story of how the Aegean got its name from that location, and a huge group photo was taken (31 mins 15 secs) Tournament production values Gavin describes the production as setting new high-water marks for tournament organisation – high enough that the Chicago 2027 organising team would be wondering how to match it. Every player had a colour-coded sash matching their country, a branded WDC Athens notepad in their country colour, and a matching pen for every round (33 mins) The awards were 3D-printed Greek god statues for the podium finishers, complemented by a full suite of themed awards for the top players in each country and for notable gameplay (34 min) Special awards included: the Ajax Award for 8th place overall (the brilliant fighter who just missed out); the Archimedes Award for the most innovative play; the Leonidas Award for the player who fought on against insurmountable odds; and professionally screen-printed awards for best performance as each of the seven Great Powers (35 mins 45 secs) Gavin's games Round 1 – France – Board: Agkystri (View game) Gavin introduces his first game and the board composition: he played France, with Danae Stamataki (Austria-Hungary, local Greek player who topped the board on 10 supply centres and won best Austria), Sabrina Ahuja "Sabi" as England, Brian Ecton as Germany, Jean-Louis Delattre as Italy, Teo Ananiadis as Russia, and Frank Oosterom from the Netherlands as Turkey (37 mins 15 secs) The plan was a Western Triple working with England and Germany, with the goal of neutralising a strong-looking Italy early. It didn't come together as intended (37 mins 45 secs) The infamous mis-order: Gavin had two builds and intended fleet Brest plus a second build. Instead he built fleet Brest and placed the build directly in MAO, effectively waiving his second build. The DBN commentators interpreted this as a genius strategic waive; Ken's interpretation was somewhat more grounded. Gavin confirms Ken was correct (39 mins) The other players on the board didn't share DBN's generous reading of the situation. Germany immediately moved into Burgundy and kept flipping between fronts as his position allowed. Italy kept pressing France throughout. Gavin found himself squeezed down to a single unit in the English Channel (40 mins 30 secs) Final turn plan: England agreed to convoy an army across to Picardy to support Gavin back into Brest. Instead, Sabi walked into an open Paris. Gavin ended the game with zero supply centres and was eliminated (42 mins 15 secs) Gavin notes he made his disappointment known professionally, and that he subsequently had a drink with Sabi – but not that night (44 mins 15 secs) Round 2 – England – Board: Lemnos Not covered by DBN. Gavin played England; the board included Dominick Stephens (New Zealand) as Germany, Chris Brand (Canada) as Russia, Ruben Sanchez as Italy, Roberto Perego (Italy) as France, Robert Schuppe as Turkey, and Anastasia "Nastja" Styles as Austria-Hungary (46 mins) The plan was a Northern Alliance of England, Germany, and Russia. It unravelled immediately when Chris opened Moscow to Livonia and Dominick interpreted it as aggressive – resulting in a Germany-Russia war from the outset (46 mins 15 secs) Gavin adapted: knowing Germany was occupied in the east, he gave Russia some space and opened into Belgium, with Dominick and Chris both honouring his request to take Norway unopposed via fleet (46 mins 45 secs) Dominick and Gavin worked to grind down Roberto Perego's France, who ground out a hard-fought game staying alive on 2 centres. Ruben Sanchez's Italy played a deft game, flipping between alliances with Turkey and Austria (49 mins 15 secs) Dominick topped the board on 10; Ruben came in at 9; Gavin finished at 7. The game was meant to run to 1909 but drew earlier when the position stabilised. Gavin reflects he may have drawn too early, with both Dominick and Ruben suggesting he had room to push for another two centres (50 mins) Round 3 – Germany – Board: Symi (View game) Gavin played Germany. The board included Shane Armstrong (Australia) as France, Mikalis Kamaritis as Italy, Alex Maslow (USA) as Russia, Steven Hogue (USA) as Austria, Alex Lebedev (Russia) as England, and Jack Johns as Turkey (51 mins 15 secs) The strategic context: only Mikalis Kamaritis and Alex Lebedev were realistically in contention for the top board from this game. Shane and Gavin identified this early and committed to supporting the player they believed deserved to be there (52 mins 45 secs) Shane and Gavin opened with a Sealion against England, while Gavin also walked a careful line with Alex Lebedev, who initially felt more threatened by France than Germany. Austria was eliminated in 1903, and England in 1904 (53 mins 45 secs) A notable moment: Gavin slipped an army from the North Sea into an unoccupied London – a move he acknowledged was unnecessary, created friction with Alex Lebedev, and which he would not make again. He apologised on the day (56 mins 15 secs) Mikalis told Gavin and Shane to wait until 1905 – and delivered. He launched from his eastern position, took two dots off Russia and one off Turkey in a single year, then steamrolled from there. Alex Maslow was a strong and enjoyable player who nearly flipped the alliance but ultimately couldn't (56 mins 15 secs) The game agreed to a draw of 10-10-14 (Shane-Gavin-Mikalis), which the three felt would get Mikalis comfortably onto the top board. In the final adjudication Mikalis took one extra dot away from Shane, making the final scores 15-10-9 (58 mins 15 secs) Round 4 – Austria – Board: Myconos (View game) Gavin made it onto the fourth round, placed into the 6th top board. The board featured Shane Armstrong again as Turkey, Emmett Wainwright as England, Patrick Jacobson as France, Nathan Lester as Germany, Cameron Taylor as Italy, and Richard Bolton as Russia (59 mins 30 secs) The standout introduction: Nathan Lester, son of Dan Lester (who Gavin played against at Bangkok WDC). Same voice, same playing style, same persuasive meta-game arguments – but with a mullet and dressed like he's in an 80s rock video, and without the beard-stroking (1 hr 0 mins 45 secs) Gavin and Shane, having just played together in Round 3, ended up as Austria and Turkey respectively – not a natural alliance. Gavin didn't trust it but it held. Italy and France both kept fighting hard throughout (59 mins 45 secs) The game drew in 1906, with Shane and Emmett both finishing on 8, Gavin on 6 as Austria. Everyone then rushed across the road to watch the top board (1 hr 3 mins 45 secs) The top board Ken asks about Mikalis's diplomatic style. Gavin: exceptional situational awareness, communicates clearly and directly, asked and answered the "what do you want from this game?" question in a way that built immediate trust, and was good to his word on timing (1 hr 4 mins) Gavin arrived at the top board mid-1906 (his own game had just drawn). The top board was played outdoors under a well-shaded tree with plenty of room for negotiations, guarded by two or three people ensuring other players and passing members of the public couldn't crowd the board (1 hr 5 mins) The giant shadow board: a massive life-size replica board was set up nearby so all spectators could follow the game without approaching the real board. Andrew Goff read out the orders and the shadow board was updated after each adjudication – the same setup used at Milan WDC (1 hr 7 mins 45 secs) When Gavin arrived, he felt Bradley Grace had the game. The shift came late – Mikalis made a decisive move in the endgame that separated him from a closely matched France/Germany contest (1 hr 9 mins) Congratulations to Mikalis Kamaritis – well deserved, Gavin says. And to Bradley Grace: so close, but it will happen (1 hr 9 mins) The awards ceremony included Mikalis receiving both the championship belt and a traditional olive laurel wreath – a detail that was not captured in the DBN stream. Ken flags this as something future broadcasts should consider covering (1 hr 11 mins 15 secs) A Best Shane Cubis Award was also created – won by a Greek player who loudly lobbied Spyros for an award on the basis of how much he'd helped out. An AI-generated image of Shane Cubis in 1901 attire featured on the award, to the complete bafflement of the European and American contingents (1 hr 12 mins 50 secs) Game hobby and future WDCs The Chicago Windy City Weasels delivered a presentation promoting WDC 2027, enthusiastically received by the assembled players (1 hr 13 mins 15 secs) The 2028 bid: Melbourne was the only bid, and it was unanimously approved. Andrew Goff (Goffy) presented it. WDC 2028 Melbourne will be held at the MCG – the Melbourne Cricket Ground – with the conference rooms used for regular play, and the premier top board played on the MCG wicket itself. The countdown timer will run on the MCG scoreboard. Notionally scheduled for the last weekend of February 2028 – the weekend after the Formula One Grand Prix and the weekend before the first AFL round (1 hr 14 mins 30 secs) For international context: roughly equivalent to playing at Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, the Camp Nou, or Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena. English players will recognise the MCG as where English cricket hopes traditionally come to die (1 hr 15 mins 15 secs) Also at the game hobby: a unanimous vote to amend and modernise the WDC charter, which dates from around 2000–2001 and doesn't reflect current online play, email communication, or the organisational structures of the Asia-Pacific and European hobbies. Four representatives (from NADF, the Asia-Pacific Diplomacy Association, and the European and UK hobbies) will draft amendments to be presented at WDC 2027 Chicago, with ratification at WDC 2028 Melbourne (1 hr 18 mins) Wrap up Gavin acknowledges the full organising effort: approximately 10 people working behind the scenes alongside Spyros and Jamal to make everything run. The Greek hobby and Athens Diplomacy Club can be enormously proud (1 hr 20 mins 30 secs) The Armistice Party: held between rounds three and four in the venue near the pool area. A DJ with a custom app allowed all attending players to nominate up to 10 songs each, with the crowd then voting in real time from four options for what came next. Gavin describes it as stunningly well thought through (1 hr 22 mins) Ken summarises: meticulously planned, wonderful venue, brilliant location, great games, fantastic people. Gavin: you got it in one. Thank you to Spyros, Jamal, and everyone they played with (1 hr 23 mins) Addendum – recorded one week later Ken and Gavin explain the addendum: a few things were either forgotten or lost in the original recording, so they've caught up a week later to cover them (1 hr 25 mins 45 secs) The Cane Toad The Cane Toad tournament will not run in 2026 – Gavin has made the decision to rest it for the year and bring it back bigger and better in 2027 (1 hr 26 mins 30 secs) Reasons: Gavin no longer lives in Brisbane where the tournament has historically been based, and several attempts to get a local game going have been completely unsuccessful. He feels it would be unfair to interstate players to travel to Queensland only to play mostly other interstate players rather than a meaningful proportion of locals (1 hr 27 mins 30 secs) He also flags cost-of-living pressures and fuel costs as factors, noting that the fuel excise which had been removed is about to be reinstated (1 hr 28 mins 45 secs) Ken and Gavin have a brief riff on whether cane toads actually hibernate, and whether the tournament might one day move to a different Queensland location (1 hr 28 mins 45 secs) Gavin shares a long-held dream of running the Cane Toad on the beach under a sun-safe setup. Council regulations require public liability insurance – but the Asia Pacific Diplomacy Association is in the process of organising exactly that for tournament directors, which may open the door in future (1 hr 29 mins 15 secs) Tournament news The Sydney Cup is on the weekend of 4–5 July. Gavin would love to go but has used up his diplomacy credits between Greece and starting a new job – it'll have to stay in the bank for now (1 hr 30 mins 45 secs) A New Zealand tournament is being discussed for the week before WDC 2028 Melbourne (late February 2028). Three New Zealand players who attended WDC 2026 in Athens have flagged interest in hosting something, on the logic that if you're travelling all the way from Europe or the US, a short hop across the Tasman to New Zealand is well worth building into the itinerary (1 hr 32 mins) Ken enthusiastically endorses the idea and encourages anyone planning for WDC 2028 Melbourne to factor in a week in New Zealand beforehand (1 hr 33 mins 30 secs) Challenge for next episode Over his birthday lunch, Gavin's son surprised him with an accurate recall of his WDC result. This leads Gavin to issue a challenge for the next episode: both Ken and Gavin will do some homework and come back with three or four online diplomacy resources that people may not know about, to raise awareness of what the community has put together over the years (1 hr 34 mins 45 secs) Around the grounds VDiplomacy gets an introduction for any listeners who aren't familiar: a sibling platform to WebDiplomacy, it hosts classic games but is particularly known for its range of variants (1 hr 36 mins 30 secs) The Dionysus Reimagined game recap – the ancient Greece variant Ken and Gavin set up in the lead-up to WDC Athens. Ken soloed, eliminating Gavin in the final year. Gavin notes that technically his last dot was taken so late that his result registers as a survive rather than an elimination (1 hr 38 mins 45 secs) Gavin played Athens and found himself defending on all fronts from early on: Sparta (who built only armies and had nowhere to go but north), the Macedonians pressing from the north, Byzantium late in the game, and Rhodes. Ken played Byzantium and credits his early token luck as a key advantage, picking up all his bid supply centres including one he expected to bounce – giving him fleet dominance in the Aegean from the start (1 hr 40 mins) The bid mechanics are recapped for any listeners unfamiliar with the variant: each player has 4 tokens to bid on non-core supply centres; outbid or bounce and you don't get the build. Ken's fortunate opening bids gave him a decisive early position (1 hr 40 mins 30 secs) A practical tip for vDiplomacy players: always open the large map after adjudication. The small map can omit orders that didn't go through, making moves look different from what was actually played. Ken noted several instances in the Dionysus game where support orders that failed simply weren't visible on the small map (1 hr 45 mins 45 secs) Ken congratulates himself on the win and notes the ratings gap between the two has now closed to around 100 points (1 hr 47 mins 30 secs) New game announced: Gavin has set up a Pirates game titled Ahoy Mateys on vDiplomacy. Gunboat, 2-day 2-hour phase length. Ken explains the extra 2 hours: it gradually shifts the adjudication time back toward Australian time zones in games where everyone readies up early (1 hr 48 mins) Pirates variant overview: a 13-player variant set in the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean, created by Gavin in collaboration with Ollie (the vDiplomacy site administrator). The 13 players are broken into three factions (1 hr 51 mins 45 secs): Europeans – Spain, England, France, and Holland, who nominally control supply centres across the map but must capture them to make them count Pirates – five pirates, four historical (Montbas, Brasiliano, de la Cueva, and Johnson) and one fictitious: El Guapo, borrowed from the movie The Three Amigos Privateers – one per European power, operating as private navies with letters patent. They can attack anyone except their sponsoring power (and vice versa). The Dunkirkers serve Spain, Henry Morgan serves England, François Le Jones serves France, and the Rocherson serves Holland Unit rules: all units are fleets, but there are two types – Clippers (move up to two spaces, standard attack strength) and Frigates (move one space, attack at 1.5x strength). A single clipper cannot defend against an attacking frigate, but a clipper supported by another clipper can. Five marked spots on the board allow transformation between unit types (1 hr 57 mins 45 secs) Special rules: a voodoo witch's hut in Cuba allows a fleet on the north coast to teleport to the south coast and vice versa. And a 14th non-playing character – a Hurricane – spins up each storm season in a random sea territory, moves randomly in the fall turn, and destroys anything in its path with an effectively unstoppable attack strength, also resetting any supply centre it passes through to neutral (1 hr 59 mins) Ken commits to reading the full rules before play begins, notes Pirates has a genuine following on vDiplomacy with games regularly in progress, and suspects he may get slaughtered (2 hr 1 min 15 secs) Gavin and Ken wrap up the show (2 hr 2 mins 15 secs) Venue: At home Drinks for the interview: Ken: One of his home brews – a lager with a bit of a kick Gavin: A Baliamo Nero d'Avola from Sicily – opened two weeks prior, which he noted had become a little sour and bitter compared to its fresh opening, much like his first round at the tournament Just a reminder you can support the show by giving it 5 stars on iTunes or Stitcher.

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE Sermon Part 2: Christ in Our Conversations So for this part two, our theme of our preaching is “Christ in our conversations.” Sabi nga sa Matthew chapter 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” But of course, we also honor and value ‘yung mga intimate at personal conversations natin with God through prayer. While it is true na mas yumayabong at nabibigyan ng buhay ang ating mga conversations with each other and the community. After all nga ‘di ba, bilang isang Metropolitan Community Church, community is our middle name. Tama ba?. I also believe na mahalagang pagtuunan din natin ng pansin and a good practice ‘yung pagiging self-aware. Ang matutong makinig sa pansariling pangangailangan, to listen to our bodies, to affirm ourselves first na hindi kasalanan ang pagiging bakla, so that we can also affirm others. We need to resolve our own struggles before we can do that for other people. The famous line: you cannot pour from an empty cup. And we have clarity in our personal lives to inspire that capacity to others. Shit ba? Paborito na ni Joseph?. Mga kasita, we miss you, Chang. So we know that God, through Jesus, has always been with us in our journey. At napakinggan din natin ang isa sa mga pinaka-life-changing na holy conversation moment doon sa ating gospel reading , kung saan, after nilang mag-sharing about scripture ng breaking of bread ay bigla na lang naglaho ‘yung stranger na kasalubong nila patungong Emmaus. At sa punto ring ‘yon, na-realize nila na it was Jesus, that it was him all along. Christ is present in our conversations. Hindi lamang tuwing linggo sa ating praise and worship, kundi sa mga ordinary moments in our lives. Hindi lamang sa mga masasaya, lalo’t higit sa mga masasalimuot at difficult conversations that we have to deal with. Naalala ko ‘yung chika ko, paniniwala ako nung bago ako dumating sa MCC sa Open Table. Pansin niyo ba na sa mga moments na when we have personal conversations with God, may mga times na tayo lang ‘yung nagsasalita, where we cry out to Jesus. We give thanks, we ask forgiveness, and may mga moments naman na tayo ay tahimik lang and letting our hearts speak the prayers that our mouths couldn’t utter. Parang ‘yung mga moments na ‘yon na siya naman ‘yung nangungusap sa atin. Man through words, pero alam mo at ramdam mo ‘yung healing, ‘yung kagaanan ng loob, at sa mga ganitong moments natin tila mas nararamdaman ang kanyang presence sa ating buhay. So last week ay na-mention ko ‘yung tungkol sa mga naging struggle ko sa work recently at kung paano ko binaka ‘yung feeling of being overwhelmed. I mean, I am glad that I was able to get through it, but I am also aware that it’s not the same for everyone. Some people may still be in that situation or perhaps find themselves in the loop na paulit-ulit lang or paikot-ikot lang. Sa dami ng aking iniisip—trabaho, travels, at iba pang ganap as an extrovert at natural people person. At the same time, ‘yung mga gampanin sa ating simbahan as pastor in discernment, in that journey, I stumbled upon ‘yung podcast of Coach Pia Acevedo. Kilala niyo ba si Coach Pia? So si Coach Pia is a life coach, author, and a leadership trainer with over two decades of experience in coaching and counseling. She helps people cut through confusion and live with clarity, purpose, and intention so that they can focus on what truly matters. Isa sa mga magandang napulot ko from her ay connected sa pagiging present. Hindi man lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat na marami sa ating mga akla ay mga breadwinner. Imagine as a queer person who is already struggling to fight discrimination on top of the fight for the same rights as our straight allies. Isa pa sa mga dagdag na challenge ang pagiging breadwinner. Hindi ko na alam kung ilang beses ko nang na-tackle ang topic na ito. I think deserve na nito ng isang preaching series at malalang holy conversation moments at kasama na sa mga listahan ng mga personal advocacies na malapit sa aking puso. Pero habang wala pa tayo doon, I suggest you can grab muna ‘yung copy nung books from Coach Pia. Nag-promote pa, not sponsored. So I’m yet to finish ‘yung first book and ito ‘yun. Ito ‘yung unang “Focus on What Matters”. I’m yet to finish this and plan to start ‘yung isa pa, ‘yung “Moment to Moment”, right after. I hope na makatulong ito upang magkaroon tayo ng clarity sa dami ng ating mga iniisip. So anyway, I’m sure nag-aantay na kayo kung ang haba na ng sinabi ko at wala pa ako doon sa main point. Ito na nga, bilang isang breadwinner na bakla, at another example is sa ating mga straight allies na as a parent, sa mga kapatid nating OFWs na nagtatrabaho at kumakayod , ginagawang araw ang gabi para lang makapagpadala ng pera sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. ‘Di ba nga sila ‘yung mga sagot natin sa tanong na, “Para kanino ka bumabangon?”. “Para sa pamilya, para sa future ng mga anak ko.” ‘Di bale nang magkalayo kami kaysa naman sama-sama kaming mamatay na dilat at gutom. At dahil sa dami na nating iniisip, siyempre wala na tayong capacity para sa maliliit na bagay. Tama ba?. No more time to play with the kids after work dahil madalas pagod na lang sa trabaho kung ‘di pa rin sa commute. Buti kung ganun lang, pero minsan mas malala. At personally, ganito ‘yung eksena ko nung mga unang taon ko sa BPO industry bilang isang breadwinner. Napansin ko na sobrang mainitin ang ulo ko at ang dali kong ma-trigger, ‘yung angil sa mga tao kahit na wala pa naman silang ginagawang masama or kahit sa mga maliliit na bagay. Kayo rin ba may ganitong eksena? Let’s pause for a moment at balikan ‘yung mga sandali ng ating mga buhay na tayo ay napasabi ng, “Ang dami ko nang iniisip, dumagdag pa ‘to.”. Ito ang isang manifestation ng kawalan ng clarity. Akala ko ba para sa kanila ka bumabangon, pero sila rin ‘yung unang nakakaramdam ng mga angil at frustrations mo sa buhay. And si Coach Pia reminds us that when we don’t do our inner work, we don’t just suffer alone. The people we love encounter a compromised version of us. ‘Yun ‘yon. Meet the compromised version of you. Imagine that you’re in front of the mirror ng mahiwagang salamin, boy, for a few moments. Look at that compromised version of you. Do you like what you see?. And imagine kung ano na kaya ang extent ng damage that it had cost you and your loved ones. So paano natin matutulungan ‘yung ating compromised version? What does it take to achieve clarity and focus sa ating mga buhay?. So sa book na “Focus on What Matters,” Coach Pia talks about the need for inner work, which is a journey that starts by laying the groundwork for clarity through practices like self-mastery, self-development, and self-commitment. She talked about habits that we can commit to in order to achieve personal clarity. And for today, I’d like to share to you about M.I.C.K. abbreviation siya. That stands for motivating, inspiring, cheering, and being kind to ourselves. It is both a habit that we can commit to and a muscle we exercise because, again, we can’t pour from an empty cup. And these intentional habits will help us fill our cup. So number one is ‘yung letter M, Motivation. Motivation habit is any regimen or routine that you know works well for you. It involves committing to routines, no matter how trivial, that bring out the best in you. Through these personalized activities, we nurture ourselves and anchor on the stability they provide. An example could be making your bed in the morning, listening to music, and preparing breakfast. One more example could be dedicating a time to exercise, let’s say three times a week. So how do we know if a habit or activity is worth committing to?. We know when we feel something is missing if we skip it, and when we distinctly feel recharged by integrating it into our schedule regularly. Motivation habit serves as a fuel to our tank. By committing to these habits, we experience a steady rhythm that keeps us grounded, whether these are daily, weekly, or monthly habits. Next is your Inspiration, your I. If motivation muscle provides the structure for self-care, inspiration muscle naman brings a wave of joy that refreshes us. Unlike motivation habits which follow rhythm, inspiration habits are done less frequently but offer a full recharge. It enables us to stay connected to what makes us feel alive, providing a surge of deep joy in moments when it is needed. Tapping our sources of inspiration which ignite our natural creativity can foster positive energy and overall well-being. And sabi ni Coach Pia, among doon sa mga clients niya, travel is the most common source of inspiration. We can only take trips every so often, but when we do, there’s infusion of new energy. Traveling reconnects us to the natural enthusiasm and joy reminiscent of childhood. And to activate inspiration muscle is to take ownership of your need for mga picker-upper choices and activities that infuse you with the surge of energy. Other than travel, this can also range from planning a trip or to simple pleasures like enjoying a YouTube video or tuning into a podcast. Mga ka-eme. May mga ka-eme ba dito? Yes. Or listening to music that swiftly recharges you to become your best self. Learning something new or engaging in hobbies that awaken your creativity can also serve this purpose. Even revisiting ‘yung mga old hobbies that once sparked joy can once again ignite your enthusiasm for life and tap into the best version of yourself. As clarity is a personal journey, only you yourself are capable of choosing the inspiration that you need. An inspired person feels alive. Whatever brings you inspiration is a non-negotiable in your life. Next naman is ‘yung C which stands for Cheer. Picture yourself as your own personal cheerleader. The cheer muscle involves encouraging ourselves to push past our limits, especially in our adversity. Cheer is a non-negotiable habit we put in place to help us manage stress. We can proactively anticipate stressful times and plan ahead by intentionally plotting activities and inserting habits into our schedule. This will help us manage the demand of our hectic schedule. Sensitivity toward ourselves is crucial in strengthening our cheer muscle. Start exercising sensitivity and observation skills. Look at your calendar and anticipate which specific meetings, social events, projects, or deliverables you know will trigger your stress, anxiety, or heaviness. Kumbaga paghahandaan mo na siya. Pag alam mo mas-stress ako sa week na ‘to , kailangan gumawa na ako ng mga habits na magre-recharge sa akin. This approach provides you with the support needed to manage potential heaviness or disengagement. Since we know ourselves best, let’s prepare ourselves for anticipated stress and activities. Just like a cheerleader motivates the team during the final seconds of a game, we cheer for ourselves to stay resilient and persevere towards our goals. Even when the going gets tough, our cheer muscle enables us to face life’s challenges well-prepared as they often come relentlessly unexpected. A strong cheer muscle enhances our resilience, enabling us to bounce back more quickly from stressful situations. Last naman is ‘yung Kindness. Kindness is your capacity to be nurturing, kind, patient, and compassionate towards yourself just as you would a loved one or a best friend. The strength of our kindness muscle should allow you to be intentional in your caring for others as you would care for yourself. One strong measure of the strength of your kindness muscle is our capacity to forgive ourselves, forgive others, or ask for forgiveness for when we feel we may have hurt. And kindness is the most difficult muscle to strengthen. As often than not, we did not grow up with strong models of people around us living a life of kindness, nurturing patience and love for ourselves. Nabanggit ko rin ‘to doon sa ano natin, parang hirap para sa atin na maging forgiving of ourselves. From a young age, we are also taught to prioritize the needs of others. Yet, our ability to care for others hinges on how well we take care of ourselves. Showing kindness to ourselves is important, especially when we face setbacks or disappointments. It’s about offering ourselves the same support and encouragement that we readily give others. Strengthening our kindness muscle means taking the time to pause, relax, and rest. Doing anything that nurtures you, like eating well, enjoying your favorite food, and getting plenty of sleep is essential. We must accept that we cannot always meet our own expectations and let go of attachments to specific outcomes. By forgiving ourselves when we falter, honoring the progress we’ve made, and staying open to learning from failures, we create a space for us to grow into the best versions of ourselves. Being kind to yourself is also a non-negotiable in your life. So ano siya, pwedeng magkakahalo siya, ‘yung mga what motivates you can also inspire you. Pwedeng-pwede siyang pumasok doon sa alin sa mga iyon. So our internal guide has a big say in how we make decisions. It’s all about progress, learning, and embracing our imperfections along the way. This journey of growth allows us to center ourselves and focus on what truly counts in life. The more we nurture this process, the better we become at self-care and connecting with our genuine selves. So I hope that you also learned something as much as I did nung sa book na ‘to at marami pa. Ipapa-hiram ko kasi hindi pa ako tapos. At ‘yun sa part na nai-share ko sa inyo about sa “Focus on What Matters” by Coach Pia, ito ‘yung mga simpleng bagay na pwede nating gawin para sa ating mga sarili to move from a compromised version to the best version of ourselves. Pero hindi natatapos doon ang lahat. As we strive to become the best version of ourselves, mahalaga ring pag-usapan ang pagse-set ng boundaries. Beep beep. Baka may matamaan sa pagse-set ng boundaries. Minsan parang profound pakinggan kasi nung boundaries at hindi siya ganoon ka-common sa kultura nating mga Pilipino. Pero just because it’s not common doesn’t mean hindi na natin ito dapat pagtuunan ng pansin. Halimbawa sa pagiging breadwinner, dahil ikaw na ‘yung naghahanap-buhay, mahalagang mag-set ka ng boundaries through shared responsibility sa inyong mga bahay, mga tahanan. I-delegate mo ang mga simpleng gawain upang kahit papaano ay mabawasan ang iyong iniisip. Some might say na madaling sabihin pero mahirap gawin , lalo na para sa ilan na bukod sa pagiging breadwinner ay magulang din, or to be specific, nanay. Mahirap talagang iwalay ang pagiging nanay sa pagiging provider as a mother. Pero mahalaga na naiintindihan ito ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Oo, nanay ka , maghahanda ka ng pagkain, mag-aasikaso ka ng gamit ng mga anak mo, but it’s also important to set boundaries. Tandaan mo na kailangan mo rin ng sapat na pahinga para makapag-focus ka sa trabaho na siyang nagbibigay ng kakayahan mong mag-provide para sa iyong pamilya. Kailangan itong ma-communicate. Kailangan ng maayos na usapan kung paano mas mapapagaan ang inyong sitwasyon. At isa lang ito sa marami pang mga halimbawa. Iba’t iba ‘yung dynamics ng bawat isa. Pero ang punto ay ito: Huwag mong piliting saluhin ang lahat. Matutong manghingi ng tulong kapag kailangan. Alam ko hindi ‘to madali, but I hope you are able to do so and have these conversations. After all, wala namang hindi nadadaan sa maayos na usapan. So now let’s go back to the journey ni Cleopas at isa pang disciple. Let us be reminded of their enthusiasm when they realized that they had been in conversation with Jesus all along. This story reminds us that God is always with us sa ating paglalakbay, that we can be that other disciple na unnamed. Hindi man tayo ever makapaglalakad kasama ang historical Jesus, ‘di ba, o baka sa panaginip, pero ano ba ‘yung pangako? That we have each other. We experience Christ in our many conversations with our families, with our loved ones, with our chosen families like here sa ating simbahan, at lalo na when we are intentional sa ating pakikinig at pagiging in solidarity sa iba’t iba pang community lalo na sa mga maralita. As I close this part two, keyword “close,” napaisip rin ako baka lumalayo na ako sa theme na “Christ in our conversations.”. Pero I had a Holy Spirit activate moment. I feel that this is a perfect opportunity to also talk about self-love —ang matutunang makinig sa kung anong sinasabi ng ating mga katawan at isip. After all, magkaugnay ang pagkakaroon ng personal clarity sa ating buhay at ang pagkakaroon ng meaningful conversations sa ating kapwa. By building these small habits for ourselves ay mas mapapayabong natin ang ating mga conversation at ang pag-unawa sa journey ng bawat isa, dahil hindi naman tayo pare-pareho ng kwento, and that’s the beauty of our diversity. Maaaring hindi tayo pare-pareho ng ating pinagdadaanang struggle pero pareho lang naman ang ating pinaglalaban. At sa bawat pakikipag-usap natin sa iba, we find Christ in their stories and hope that they find Christ in us and through us. Napapalalim ang ating pakikipagbahagi at pakikisangkot sa pakikinig ng kanilang kwento. We hold the power to carry these stories and share them with others. And being with Open Table MCC for almost 10 years now, marami na akong nakasama, nakasalamuha, nakadaupang-palad, nakausap at narinig ng mga kwento—ang mga Lumad, ang mga persons deprived of liberty sa QC Women’s Penitentiary , ang mga magsasaka sa Lupang Ramos, ang mga batang PLHIV na nasa pangangalaga ng Duyan Foundation at Project Red Ribbon, at ang ilan sa mga communities na naabutan ng tulong ng Pride Cares, mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa Rodriguez, Rizal at iba pang naabutan ng tulong through our partnership sa iba’t iba pang LGBTQIA+ organizations. Ang kanilang mga kwento ay patuloy kong dadalhin at subukang maibahagi sa marami pang pakikipag-usap, lalo na sa panibagong responsibility as pastor in discernment. Ganito rin ang sinasabi ko sa mga students who come and be in immersion with us. Iilan lang sa kanila ang bakla at may katulad na kwento sa atin, pero ibinabahagi natin ang ating mga kwento in the hope na dalhin nila ito as they go on in their lives hanggang makarating na sila sa kanilang adulting journey, sharing the good news sa mga kapwa nila estudyante who still struggle to resolve their sexuality with their spirituality, to tell them about the small church where you can come as you are in your most authentic self, where you can express your love of God in the most fantabulous and flamboyant way. Amen ba? At bilang Easter people, dahil hindi lang natapos ang kwento sa muling pagkabuhay ni Kristo, let us be reminded that we are the continuation of the story. Galing kay RD ‘yan at lagi kong panghahawakan ‘yang narinig ko sa preaching niya. Ayan, nawala na ako. And with that comes the power na magpatuloy at bilang Open Table MCC to have meaningful conversations, even difficult ones, to take part in the call for ceasefire and to put an end to meaningless war. Conversations that continue to create safe spaces, and our participation in the wider work of justice and peace through Jesus who proclaimed a radically inclusive love for all people, at ‘pag kinakailangan ay harapin ang mga usapang mahirap lalo na sa mga kakilala or kapamilya natin na patuloy nagbubulag-bulagan at pumipili at naghahalal ng mga leader na corrupt at sangkot sa katiwalian. Hindi man ito madali, I hope that we’re always reminded na parte rin sila ng pinaglalaban, that there’s more that unites us than separates us. Let us also be intentional sa pangangamusta sa mga mahal natin sa buhay knowing always that Jesus is present in our conversations to speak with love and compassion. At kung ikaw naman ‘yung may kinikimkim sa loob mo kung ano man ‘yan, I hope that the Holy Spirit touches your heart so you can find the courage to have that conversation, one that could inspire, heal, and transform you and others, knowing that God, Jesus, will be there with you. Amen. The post Easter: The Walk To Emmaus Part 2 appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE Isang mapayapang araw sa inyong lahat. For today and the next dalawang Linggo, iisang Scripture reading lamang ang ating tatalakayin, ngunit hahatiin natin ang preaching sa tatlong bahagi. For this Sunday, I'd like to talk about being present. Sa ating buhay, madalas tayong nagiging masyadong pokus sa pagtapos ng mga gawain (tasks). Masyado tayong nagmamadali na nakakalimutan na nating maramdaman o ma-appreciate ang proseso—ang “smelling the roses” at ang tunay na pag-enjoy sa journey. Nang una kong mabasa ang tekstong ito mula sa Ebanghelyo ni Lucas (The Road to Emmaus), naisip ko: “Parang ang lakas mang-power trip ni Jesus?” Dahil sa isang kisap-mata, pinigilan niyang makilala siya ng mga alagad, at sa isang kisap-mata rin ay ipinakilala niya ang kanyang sarili. Pero kalaunan, na-realize ko na si Jesus ay kasama na nila sa buong biyahe. Hindi niya ito ginawa para paglaruan sila; sadyang ang dalawang alagad ay masyadong nakapokus sa ibang bagay. Marahil sila ay puno ng kalituhan at emosyon dahil sa balita ng muling pagkabuhay. Unveiling the Characters: Who Was on the Road? Habang binabasa ang kuwento, may mga tanong na lumitaw sa isip ko: Bakit sila papuntang Emmaus? Taga-doon ba sila? At isa pang mahalagang tanong: Sino ang kasama ni Cleopas? Sa kuwento, si Cleopas lamang ang pinangalanan. Sabi ng ilang scholars, maaaring si Simon Peter ito, pero marami ang naniniwala na ang kasama niya ay si Mary of Cleopas—ang kanyang asawa. Ayon sa tradisyon ng Simbahan, si Cleopas ay kapatid ni Jose (na asawa ni Maria, ang ina ni Jesus). Ibig sabihin, sila ay magbilas. Bago natin sagutin ang ibang tanong, nais kong bigyang-diin ang presensya ng mga kababaihan sa buhay at ministeryo ni Jesus. Mula simula hanggang sa krus, at maging sa muling pagkabuhay, laging nandoon ang mga babae. Sila ang may lakas ng loob at pananampalataya na hindi iniwan si Jesus. Minsan, ang pangalawang disipulo ay sadyang hindi pinangalanan sa Bibliya upang makita natin ang ating mga sarili sa kuwento. Tayo ang kasama ni Cleopas sa paglalakad. The Retreat from Hope Bakit nga ba sila papuntang Emmaus? Walang record na taga-doon sila. Maaaring ito ay nagsilbing temporary refuge o “halfway house” para sa kanila. Alam natin ang nangyari: Marami ang umasa na si Jesus ang magpapalaya sa kanila mula sa Imperyong Romano. Nang siya ay mamatay, tila namatay din ang kanilang mga pangarap. Ang pag-alis nila sa Jerusalem patungong Emmaus ay simbolo ng kanilang pag-atras mula sa pag-asa at komunidad. Ngunit narito ang maganda: Ang pagpapakita ni Jesus sa kalsada ay patunay na ang “Divine Presence” ay sumasalamin sa atin kahit sa mga sandaling tayo ay tumatalikod na sa pag-asa. Si Jesus ang nag-adjust para sa kanila. Nakipagtagpo siya sa kanila kung nasaan man sila. Ipinahayag niya ang kanyang sarili sa pamamagitan ng Kasulatan at sa pagpipiraso ng tinapay (Breaking of the Bread). At nang muling mag-alab ang pag-asa sa kanilang puso, bumalik agad sila sa Jerusalem nang gabing iyon upang magbahagi ng mabuting balita. Vulnerability as Strength Sa ating sariling buhay, madalas tayong nahihirapang lumapit sa Diyos kapag tayo ay nasa gitna ng pagsubok. Kadalasan, lumalapit lang tayo para magpasalamat kapag “tapos na” ang problema. Minsan naman, lumalapit lang tayo kapag nasa breaking point na tayo. Hindi ba natin naiisip na sa gitna ng ating mabigat na problema, malumanay na tumatawag si Jesus: “Hello, I am here. You can be vulnerable with me.” Your vulnerability is as beautiful as your strength. Madalas din nating mahalin ang ating “privacy” hanggang sa punto na hindi na tayo nakakapag-open up sa mga kaibigan o mahal sa buhay. Sinasabi lang natin ang kuwento kapag “overcome” na natin ang challenge. Paano naman yung mga struggle na kasalukuyan nating nilalabanan? Nasaan ang diwa ng komunidad? Bilang inyong pastor, nais kong malaman ninyo na maaari kayong maging vulnerable sa akin. Maaaring hindi ko masolusyunan ang lahat ng inyong problema, lalo na kung pinansyal, pero nangangako akong sasamahan ko kayo sa inyong paglalakbay. We are here to journey with you in your “Emmaus moments.” Learning to Pause Sa gitna ng trabaho at buhay, marami tayong bitbit na “baggages”: job security, inflation, midlife crisis, and the search for purpose. Para silang mabibigat na bag na isa-isang pinapasan hanggang sa tayo ay “ma-freeze” o ma-paralyze sa bigat. Minsan, kailangan nating tumigil at mag-assess: Bakit ito mabigat? 2. Alin sa mga ito ang pwede ko nang bitawan? 3. Alin dito ang pwede kong ipagkatiwala sa iba? Huwag nating kalimutang tumingin sa paligid. May mga taong handang tumulong sa pagpasan ng ating dalahin. Matutong huminga, tumigil, at pahalagahan ang mga kasama sa journey. Conclusion: Today is a Gift Bilang isang “frustrated wanderlust,” aminado akong hindi ako magaling sa direksyon o Maps. Umaasa lang ako sa mga landmarks. Sa paggamit ng mapa, mahalagang malaman mo muna kung nasaan ka (orienting yourself) bago mo malaman kung saan ka pupunta. Gayundin sa ating spiritual journey: Minsan kailangan nating mag-reflect kung nasaan na tayo. Gamitin natin si Jesus bilang ating compass at ang ating komunidad bilang sacred space para sa paghilom. Tandaan natin: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why it's called the PRESENT. Pahalagahan natin ang kasalukuyan at magtiwala na ang Kristong nabuhay ay kasama natin sa bawat hakbang ng ating paglalakbay.

"Diyos ba talaga si Kristo?"

I thank my God for every remembrance of you, always in every one of my prayers for all of you, praying with joy for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:3-6 NRSVUE “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:1-5 NRSVUE Pakinggan natin ang sinasabi ng Espiritu Santo sa atin ngayong araw. Nawa’y ang pangangaral na ating matatanggap ay magbigay-inspirasyon, kalinga, at hamon sa atin. Amen. Kanina, nabanggit ng ating Hermanan na gumagamit tayo ng mga kanta nina Adele at Lady Gaga. Pero ngayon, ibang klaseng kanta ang gagamitin ko—isang K-pop song. Bago ako magsimula, may ipaparinig ako sa inyo. DJ, pasensya na Chris dahil baka ma-copyright tayo, pero gaya ng sabi ko, ito ang ganda ng preaching sa isang inclusive church—meron tayong mga contemporary readings. Ang pamagat ng kanta ay “What It Sounds Like” ng Huntrix. Ito ang huling kanta sa Netflix movie na KPop Demon Hunters (na ngayon ay Oscar's best animated feature film). Para sa akin, maraming bahagi ng movie ang queer-coded at ang plot mismo ay isang malakas na queer allegory, partikular sa pag-explore ng themes ng shame at coming out. Ang kantang ito ay sumasalamin sa kwento ng mga queer Christians. Ang unang verse ay nagpapaalala sa akin ng aking karanasan bago ako nag-come out. Nagsisimula ito sa isang tapat na pag-amin: marami sa ating mga queer Christians ang dumaan sa hiya dahil sa kung sino tayo. Sinubukan nating ayusin ito at nagdasal tayo nang marubdob sa Diyos na baguhin tayo. Nung umuwi ako sa Cavite kamakailan, hinanap ko ang dati kong diary. Hindi ako consistent sa pagsusulat, pero kapag may dinaramdam ako, isinusulat ko ito. Ang simula ng bawat entry ko ay “Dear Jehovah” dahil iyon ang tawag sa Diyos sa kinalakihan kong relihiyon bilang Jehovah’s Witness. May isang pahina doon na ang sabi ko sa Diyos, “Bakit niyo po ako ginawang ganito? Ang hirap-hirap”. Ang prayer ko pa nga noon, gawin niyo na lang po akong bisexual para man lang may option ako at maitawid ko pa rin. Sa dulo ng diary, nakiusap ako sa Diyos na huwag sana akong ma-fall sa aking first love. Pero walang nangyari sa pagbe-beg ko. Siguro ang sabi ng Diyos sa akin, “Deserve mo anak, i-experience mo ‘yan.” Doon natapos ang diary dahil lumandi lang talaga ako at hindi na ako nag-pray. Siguradong may ganyan din kayong moments. Sinubukan ninyong labanan ang inyong nararamdaman at ni-repress ang inyong mga emosyon. Gaya sa kanta, baka nagsinungaling kayo sa inyong pamilya, kaibigan, at lalo na sa inyong sarili. Naramdaman ninyong wala ang Diyos sa inyong panig. Ang mga karanasang ito ay nangyari dahil ang tingin ng maraming simbahan sa queerness ay “unholy”. Madalas sa kanila, ang kabanalan ay kapareho lamang ng moral o sexual purity, o kaya ay pag-conform sa mga tradisyon. Malamang isa yan sa rason bakit kayo narito sa Open Table, dahil na-realize ninyo na ang listahan nila ng rules ay hindi naman talaga sukatan ng holiness. Bawal ang premarital sex, bawal ang same-sex relationships, pati ang pag-aayos ng sarili ay binabantayan. Dahil sa mga rules na ito, marami ang nakakaramdam ng guilt. Sa mga Katoliko, tinatawag itong “Catholic guilt”. Pero ang totoo, karamihan sa mga rules na iyon ay hindi naman talaga Biblical. Sa framework na ito kung saan “conformity” ang goal, nakondisyon tayo na ikahiya ang ating mga katawan at relasyon. Pati ang ating mga straight allies ay biktima rin ng sistemang ito. Ang turo sa kanila, ang sex ay regalo ng Diyos pero sa loob lang ng kasal. Ninakawan sila ng purity culture ng pagkakataong intindihin ang kanilang mga katawan at ang tunay na kahulugan ng intimacy. Na-witness ko kung gaano ka-obsessed ang mga simbahan sa purity. Sa dati kong church, bawal lumabas ang couple nang silang dalawa lang; dapat laging may “chaperone”. Noong bata ako, pabor ito sa akin dahil lagi akong libre sa pakain kapag isinasama ako ng tita ko sa date nila ng boyfriend niya. Bukod doon, matindi rin ang pressure sa mga couple na magpakasal agad para “hindi magkasala”. Sa mga Jehovah’s Witness, maximum na ang dalawang taon ng dating; kapag lumampas doon, minamata na kayo. Kahit hindi pa ready ang couple—hindi lang sa financial kundi pati sa emosyon—napipilitan silang magpakasal dahil sa takot sa “sexual immorality”. May malaking stigma rin, lalo na sa mga kababaihan, pagdating sa virginity—na kapag nawala ito ay “marumi” ka na. Bukod sa pressure na magpakasal, matindi rin ang pressure sa mga kababaihan na manatiling birhen hanggang kasal. Mas malaki ang stigma sa kanila; kapag nawala ang kanilang virginity, itinuturing na silang “marumi” at parang wala nang halaga. Ang mga straight women ay tinuruan din na maging submissive sa kanilang mga asawa, habang ang mga lalaki naman ang dapat na may final say sa lahat ng desisyon. Ang ganitong sistema ay hindi lang nakakaapekto sa mga kababaihan kundi pati sa mga lalaki, dahil itinuturo nito na ang intimacy ay tungkol lamang sa kontrol at hindi sa mutual respect at pag-ibig. Dito pumapasok ang ating pagbasa mula sa Filipos. Sabi ni Pablo, “May tiwala ako na ang nagsimula ng mabuting gawa sa inyo ay ipagpapatuloy ito hanggang sa ganap na matapos sa araw ni Jesu-Cristo”. Ang “mabuting gawa” na ito ay ang proseso ng sanctification o pagpapakabanal. Sa maraming simbahan, ang sanctification ay tinitignan bilang isang checklist ng mga bawal at dapat gawin. Pero ang tunay na kahulugan nito ay ang patuloy na paghubog ng Diyos sa atin sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang grasya. Hindi ito tungkol sa pagiging perpekto sa mata ng tao, kundi sa pagiging tapat sa kung sino tayo sa harap ng Diyos. Sa ating Ebanghelyo, binanggit ni Jesus na Siya ang puno ng ubas at tayo ang mga sanga. Ang pagbubunga ay hindi nangyayari dahil sa sarili nating pagsisikap na sumunod sa mga panuntunan ng tao. Nangyayari ito kapag tayo ay nananatili sa Kanya. Para sa ating mga queer Christians, ang pananatiling ito ay nangangahulugan ng pagtanggap sa ating sarili bilang mga nilalang na minahal at tinanggap ng Diyos. Ang mga “pruning” o paglilinis na binanggit sa Ebanghelyo ay hindi ang pagtanggal sa ating pagkatao, kundi ang pag-alis sa mga shame, guilt, at takot na humahadlang sa atin na magmahal nang lubos. Ang pagiging isang inclusive church gaya ng Open Table ay isang hamon sa tradisyonal na konsepto ng kabanalan. Ipinapakita natin na ang kabanalan ay matatagpuan sa pag-ibig, sa pagtanggap, at sa pagiging totoo. Hindi kailangang ikahiya ang ating mga katawan o ang ating mga relasyon dahil ang mga ito ay bahagi ng mabuting gawa na sinimulan ng Diyos sa atin. Gaya ng kanta ng Huntrix na “What It Sounds Like,” ang ating kwento ay hindi na tungkol sa pagtatago o pagsisinungaling. Ito ay tungkol na sa pagbangon mula sa hiya at pagyakap sa liwanag ng katotohanan. Sa dulo ng kanta, may pagbabago sa tono—isang pagtanggap na hindi kailangang maging “normal” o sumunod sa dikta ng iba para maging karapat-dapat. Ang ating mga kwento bilang queer Christians ay hindi nagtatapos sa hiya. Gaya ng sinabi ni Pablo, ang Diyos na nagsimula ng mabuting gawa sa atin ay hindi tayo iiwan sa gitna ng daan. Ang bawat “Dear Jehovah” entry sa aking diary, ang bawat dasal ninyo na sana ay maging “straight” na lang kayo, ay bahagi ng mahabang proseso. Ngayon, ang ating mga katawan at relasyon ay hindi na tinitignan bilang “unholy” kundi bilang mga sisidlan ng grasya ng Diyos. Ang sanctification ay hindi isang biglaang pangyayari kundi isang mahabang paglalakbay ng pagpapakabanal. Ito ay ang patuloy na paghubog ng Diyos sa atin, hindi para maging kamukha ng mga tradisyon ng tao, kundi para maging mas malapit sa puso ni Cristo. Huwag nating hayaan na ang “purity culture” ang magdikta ng ating halaga sa harap ng Diyos. Ang ating pananatili sa “Puno ng Ubas” ay sapat na para tayo ay magbunga. Hindi natin kailangang baguhin ang ating pagkatao para mahalin ng Diyos; sapat na ang tayo ay manatili sa Kanya. Sa huli, ang ating pananampalataya ay hindi tungkol sa mga listahan ng bawal. Ito ay tungkol sa kagalakan ng pagkilala sa Diyos na tumitingin sa puso at hindi sa panlabas na anyo o oryentasyon. Nawa’y magpatuloy tayo sa paglalakbay na ito nang may kagalakan at pag-asa, alam na ang Diyos ay kasama natin sa bawat hakbang. Amen.

On this episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast (formerly Authors on Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with author Jasmina Sabi to discuss her powerful book Am I Thinking Correctly? and her journey from escort to author.Jasmina shares how she wrote her book in just three days, blending personal experiences with neuroscience research to make complex ideas about brain chemistry and human behavior accessible. She opens up about heartbreak, resilience, and the importance of questioning societal norms to unlock personal growth.

Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight and neither ate nor drank. Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem, and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized. Acts 9:1-18 (NRSVUE) Isang mapagpalayang araw sa lahat ng kababaihan. Ngayon ay Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Kababaihan (International Women’s Day). Inaalala natin ang mga dakilang kababaihan sa kasaysayan—ang ating mga ina, kapatid, asawa, kasamahan sa trabaho, mga lingkod-bayan, at lingkod-simbahan na patuloy na bumubuo ng mas mabuting mundo at kinabukasan para sa ating lahat. Tayo ay nasa Lenten series pa rin ng ating simbahan. Noong nakaraang dalawang linggo, tinalakay ni Pastor Jom ang kalikasan ng “sin theology”. Noong nakaraang linggo naman, pinaalalahanan tayo tungkol sa Juan 3:16, ang ating paboritong memory verse, ngunit binigyang-diin din ang talata 17: na hindi tayo nais hatulan ng Diyos. Sa hapong ito, ipagpapatuloy natin ang talakayan at magpopokus sa kung ano ang susunod. Susubukan nating unawain ang Metanoia. Ang Metanoia ay kombinasyon ng dalawang salitang Griyego: ang “Meta” na nangangahulugang beyond, after, o change; at “Noos” na ang ibig sabihin ay perception, understanding, o mind. Sa Griyegong Bagong Tipan, karaniwan itong isinasalin sa Ingles bilang repentance o pagsisisi. Kaya naman sa Marcos 1:15, sinabi ni Jesus: “Magsisi (repent) at maniwala sa mabuting balita dahil malapit na ang kaharian ng Diyos”. Sa Gawa 2:38, sa sermon ni Pedro noong Pentecostes, sinabi rin niya: “Magsisi (repent) at magpabinyag ang bawat isa sa inyo sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo upang mapatawad ang inyong mga kasalanan”. Sa tradisyong Kristiyano at teolohiya, tinitingnan ang metanoia bilang isang karanasan ng konbersyon—isang pagbabago mula sa lumang gawi patungo sa bago at mas mabuting buhay. Sa kuwento ni Saul, makikita natin na ang tunay na pagbabago ay madalas nagsisimula sa isang hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo o mystical experience. Habang si Saul ay naglalakad patungong Damascus—bitbit ang kanyang mga plano at awtoridad—bigla siyang nabulag ng isang matinding liwanag. Dito natin makikita ang ironya: si Saul, na akala ay “nakikita” ang lahat at alam ang lahat ng tama, ay kailangang mabulag upang tunay na makakita. Ang kanyang pisikal na pagkabulag ay sumasalamin sa kanyang espirituwal na kalagayan. Sa loob ng tatlong araw, siya ay nasa dilim—walang pagkain, walang inumin, at walang kasiguruhan. Ito ang yugto ng paglilinis, ang sandali kung saan ang lahat ng kanyang pinaniniwalaan ay gumuho upang bigyang-daan ang isang bagong katotohanan. Upang mas maunawaan ang pinagdaanan ni Saul, maaari nating gamitin ang konsepto ng Old Testament scholar na si Walter Brueggemann tungkol sa buhay ng pananampalataya. Ayon sa kanya, ang ating buhay ay dumadaan sa isang cycle: Orientation: Ito ang panahon kung saan maayos ang lahat. Alam natin ang ating gagawin, kontrolado natin ang sitwasyon, at panatag ang ating loob sa ating mga nakasanayan. Ito si Saul bago ang Damascus. Disorientation: Ito ang “madilim na gabi ng kaluluwa.” Dito pumapasok ang krisis, pagkabulag, at ang pagkawala ng kontrol. Ito ang tatlong araw ni Saul sa Damascus kung saan ang kanyang mundo ay nagulo. New Orientation: Ito ang yugto ng Metanoia. Hindi tayo bumabalik sa dati; sa halip, tayo ay nagiging bagong nilalang na may mas malalim na pag-unawa at mas malawak na pananaw. Ang pagbabagong-loob ay hindi lamang tungkol sa paghinto sa paggawa ng masama, kundi ang pagyakap sa isang bagong paraan ng pag-iisip at pamumuhay na mas malapit sa puso ng Diyos. Ang Metanoia o ang pagbabago ng isip ay dapat humantong sa Metamorphosis—ang pagbabago ng anyo o buhay. Tulad ng isang uod na nagiging lilibuyo, ang ating pagbabago ay dapat maging kitang-kita sa ating mga gawa at pakikitungo sa kapwa. Ang pagbabago ay hindi isang minsang kaganapan lamang; ito ay isang patuloy na proseso. Sabi nga ni Hesus, tayo ay tinatawag na mamuhay sa liwanag. Ang mga “kaliskis” na nalaglag sa mga mata ni Saul ay simbolo ng pag-alis ng ating mga maling akala, paghuhusga, at poot sa ating mga puso. Sa kuwento, makikita natin na hindi lamang si Saul ang sumailalim sa metanoia. Si Ananias din ay kinailangan ng pagbabago ng isip. Takot siya kay Saul dahil sa reputasyon nito, ngunit sumunod siya sa utos ng Panginoon. Tinawag niya si Saul na “Kapatid na Saul” (Brother Saul)—isang pagkilala na ang dating kaaway ay isa na ngayong kapamilya sa pananampalataya. Ito ang hamon sa atin: Handa ba nating tanggapin ang mga taong nagbago na, o patuloy natin silang huhusgahan base sa kanilang nakaraan? Ang metanoia ay hindi lamang para sa “masasamang tao” na kailangang maging mabuti, kundi para rin sa mga “mabubuting tao” na kailangang maging mas mapagmahal at mapagpatawad. Ang pagbabago ay hindi natatapos sa isang iglap. Tulad ng nabanggit natin, ang metanoia ay dapat humantong sa isang tuloy-tuloy na metamorphosis. Bilang mga Kristiyano, tinawag tayo ni Hesus na lumakad sa liwanag. Hindi tayo iniwan sa ating lumang kalagayan; patuloy tayong hinuhubog ng Diyos araw-araw. Sa pagtatapos ng ating pagninilay sa Lenten series na ito, nawa’y maging tapat tayo sa ating sarili. Siyasatin natin ang ating mga puso: Ano-anong mga “maskara” ang kailangan nating tanggalin? Ano-anong mga “kaliskis” sa ating mga mata ang kailangang malaglag upang tunay nating makita ang pangangailangan ng ating kapwa? Ang tunay na pagsisisi ay hindi lamang pag-iyak sa ating mga pagkakamali, kundi ang matapang na paghakbang patungo sa direksyong nais ng Diyos para sa atin.

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. John 15:9-14 (NRSVUE) So, this Sunday is the first Sunday in our Lent season. As all of you know naman, Lent season is in preparation for Easter or Resurrection Sunday. This is when Jesus rose again. So that's going to be a month from now — malapit na. And along with that, all the preparations that we as a community is going to face. This is the season where we reflect on the life of Jesus — lahat ng drama bago siya mamatay at mabuhay muli. And in this season we are invited to pray, to fast, reflect, and to be charitable, which I encourage all of us to observe in our own little ways. Even though some of us here are hindi naman Katoliko, and if hindi ka naman religious, the practice of abstinence and self-discipline is still valuable pa rin naman and something that we must all practice. Lent season is not just about the disciplines in themselves. The challenge for all of us Christians this Lent is that these practices will eventually lead us to repentance and transformation. And repentance and transformation all start with the acknowledgement of our sins as an individual and as a collective. That's why this afternoon we would be discussing sin — the nature of sin, and kung ano nga ba ang sin. In the study of theology, sa mga may theology background diyan or nagse-seminary, we also divide theological topics into branches. Just like in science — sa science we have biology, we have chemistry, zoology. In theology, meron din. Dini-divide din natin yung knowledge or study ng theology into branches. So in systematic theology, we also have the likes of Christology, which is the study that concerns the nature of Jesus. We have Soteriology, which we will be discussing in the coming weeks. Soteriology is concerned with salvation in the Christian sense. And for today we would be discussing Hamartiology, which is the study of sin. So yung paglabas niyo mamaya, uy grabe, feeling niyo may MDiv na kayo dahil may natutunan kayong theology on this service. Pwede niyo nang i-flex sa mga friends niyo. So why is it called hamartiology? I-clarify ko lang: hamartiology is spelled — it's a single word. Hindi siya “hamar” and “theology” with space. It's from the Greek word hamartia, which means to miss the mark. So in your New Testament books, when you read the word sin, some of those came from the word hamartia and is translated to sin in English. So I mention na some of those kasi hindi lang naman hamartia yung word for sin. There are many of that. But for this afternoon, we will be focusing on the word hamartia for sin. There are some people who think na pag progressive ka wala ka nang konsepto ng kasalanan. Kasi nga if ang same-sex relationship ay hindi niyo naman tinuturing na kasalanan, then ano pang kasalanan for you? Since parang lahat naman ay pwede — diyan kayo nagkakamali. Kaya nga may community guidelines tayo. The funny thing is, for some people it seems that being gay is the greatest sin that there is — even worse than the seven deadly sins. It seems to be more acceptable to some than gay people getting married or being in a same-sex relationship. Para mas grabe pa ang reaksyon nila dito rather than a president ordering the killing of people, regardless kahit maraming inosente ang madadamay. So the question is: wala nga ba tayong konsepto ng kasalanan bilang progressive Christians? Not at all. Not at all. In fact, the challenge with being a progressive Christian is that what we consider sins are sometimes those that are not obvious and sadly even considered as normal or acceptable in this society that we're in. Pumunta lang kayo sa news feed niyo at sa comment sections ng mga tita at tito niyo. Grabe. Hindi ko naman jine-generalize lahat ng tita, kahit ako naloloka minsan na grabe normal okay lang sa kanila 'to. Minsan napapa-question ako: ako ba yung mali? For example, killing people for the greater good daw is acceptable for some. Makikita mo yan sa comment section. Corruption — some people, even Christians, don't even seem to care or are not angry with the rampant corruption that's happening in our country. Yung iba jina-justify pa at pinagtatanggol. Yung iba may pa-prayer vigil pa. They are even more angry sa pagbuo ng relationships nating mga bakla and even with the recent Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex partnerships to co-own properties. Mas kasalanan pa sa kanila na may dalawang babae o dalawang lalaki na magkaroon ng legal protection to own properties rather than their own favorite politicians na nagnanakaw ng properties that aren't theirs and even killing innocent people in the process — and worse, using God to justify it. And for some of us, we are not immune to societal sins that pervade us. For example, rampant consumerism — from the belief that happiness lies in consuming more and obtaining things that doesn't satisfy us. O ‘di ba? Ilan na yung nasa cart niyo? O hindi ko kayo iju-judge kung kailangan niyo talaga 'yan — i-checkout niyo na. Kung needs naman, go, hindi naman kayo huhusgahan diyan. Pero aminin natin, 'di ba, sometimes tayo can be consumeristic at times. Oo, 'di ba? O labubo — baka ma-bash ako. Ayon. O next topic. Naku ito — how about our dependence sa social media? 'Di ba, na parang… o kita niyo, kahit ako parang social media na rin magsalita with that trend. Social media na nagde-dictate sa atin kung ano yung dapat nating magustuhan, who to vote, and what a good life is. Huwag kasi kayong maniniwala sa aming mga advertisers. I'm raising my hand here, so baka mawalan ako ng trabaho next week. Oh 'di ba? This just all points out na yung mga personal sins natin ay related sa systemic and social sin. But also alam ko din naman that all of us here are middle class and some are even considered poor. Wala naman sigurong nepo baby dito, no — except kay RD. Joke lang. Oo, mukha kasing congressman si John sa recent date nila, so parang nepo vibes ang dating. So it's okay. We are all just getting by for us to bear the burden of these complex systemic issues or sins that all of us are trapped in. So ito na: What is sin and how do we know? Because for some pastors or churches, the very existence of our own church — MCC — and even me, your baklang lay pastor, is considered not just a sin but even an abomination that we deserve na maging panggatong sa impiyerno. 'Di ba? For us progressives, that's what constitutes sin: the likes of rape and abuse that don't reflect Jesus' command for us to love one another. Actions that cause real harm and pain that are felt, lived, and experienced — whether it is spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, sexual, and so on. Sin is two gay men or women having a loving and life-giving relationship na hindi naman nakakaabala or nakakapanakit sa mga buhay ng mga taong naniniwalang isa siyang kasalanan. The sin in this scenario is their judgment and condemnation over something that God obviously intended to be part of the diversity of God's creation. And ito — ito na yung pinaka-favorite nating progressive pero pinakamalaking haggard din sa atin: it is condemning systemic or structural sins. We also name and condemn systemic sins that bring suffering and harm to us and other people. These sins can be political, economical, and religious in nature — such as inequality, religious extremism, homophobia, misogyny, racism, environmental neglect, and so on. These are actually the sins that Jesus cared more about. ossible ba na kahit busy tayo to work on social justice as progressive Christians, we still miss the mark — that we are still capable of hurting others and forgetting the way of Jesus this Lent season? Now maybe this is a good time for all of us as progressive Christians to reflect on how, in our own ways, we are unconsciously becoming perpetrators also of the sin that we condemn. Maybe we can ask ourselves: masyado na rin ba tayong nagiging katulad ng mga Pharisees that Jesus speaks against? That what we only see is the speck in our brother's eye rather than the plank in our own eye? Sabi nga ni Jesus sa Matthew chapter 7. Because of our hyperfixation with justice, we can become the same people that we condemn — oppressive, judgmental, unforgiving. Are our condemnation or correction to other people rooted in our genuine love and care? Or is it just to satisfy our egos or to assert our moral superiority? Do we still give space for grace and transformation? Or do we easily cut short the transformative power of God's grace in the lives of others — realizing that even if they also perpetuate oppression, they too are victims of oppression themselves? Baka naman call-out lang tayo nang call-out that we forgot that we too are in the process of lifetime transformation and also need grace from other people. Tayo rin ba, personally, bukas ba tayo sa correction? O kapag tayo na ang kino-call out, defensive agad? My hope is that we don't get stuck sa pagde-deconstruct at sa pagiging mulat, but we move forward sa bagong faith at kalayaan na natagpuan natin. That in the middle of all the mess in this world, people will see that we are Jesus' disciples — because it is evident in our lives filled with love, joy, gentleness, and fierceness na strategically nilulugar din sa sitwasyon. As progressive Christians, we cannot change the world alone and overnight. We wouldn't even be able to see the fruits of our labor in our lifetime. After all, it is not our labor — it is God's labor. Kaya huwag tayong mag-alala. We just show up. We love. We find ways to be joyful, to be gentle and kind to one another, and to be fierce only when specific situations call for it. And we find strength and hope in the combined efforts of our communities who work for justice. So let us love, be joyful, and do justice where we are. Let us begin again — in our homes and in this community of Open Table. God bless us all. The post Nature of Sin appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

If you're struggling at work, remember that hard times don't last forever. Sabi nga sa Galatians 6:9 (NLT), “So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.” Be excited about what God has in store for you — at work and in the other areas of your life.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Guaimaral, hijo del cacique llamado Mara que gobernaba por los lados del lago de Coquivacoa o Maracaibo, le pidió permiso a su padre para ir a Cúcuta. Allí el cacique Cúcuta le entregó en matrimonio a una de sus hijas. Trágicamente, al año murió la recién casada, pero el joven viudo decidió quedarse de todos modos a vivir en la región, y su ex suegro decidió a su vez adoptarlo como hijo. Tiempo después llegó a esas tierras el conquistador español Diego de Montes con la intención de arrasar con cuanta comunidad indígena encontrara. La tribu cercana de los Cíneras le hizo frente, pero eso dio como resultado que su cacique, Cínera, fuera ahorcado de un árbol, y que Zulia, la hija de Cínera, se dedicara ella misma a formar un ejército que luchara contra Diego de Montes. Una vez que organizó a los suyos, Zulia convocó a las tribus vecinas, y el cacique Cúcuta, por su parte, respondió enviando a sus guerreros bajo el mando de su hijo adoptivo Guaimaral. El ejército indígena tomó por sorpresa el campamento de Montes, y exterminó al español y a sus hombres. Después de la victoria, Guaimaral y Zulia quedaron perdidamente enamorados. Pero «aún estaban comiendo perdices cuando apareció otro Diego español, Diego de Parada, resuelto a vengar a su tocayo —relata el historiador colombiano Gustavo Gómez Ardila en su obra titulada Cúcuta para reírla (Escenas de su historia)—. Los ejércitos indígenas habían regresado a sus respectivas tribus, por lo que los Cúcutas y los Cíneras debieron enfrentar en inferioridad de condiciones al invasor. »El desastre criollo fue total. Zulia murió en pleno combate, no sin antes haberle exigido a Guaimaral... que no volviera a casarse.... »—Júramelo —le dijo ella, con voz entrecortada. »Guaimaral [no] tuvo tiempo... para jurarle fidelidad eterna. El enemigo le pisaba los talones. Sabiéndose reviudo, huyó despavorido.... [y] regresó a Coquivacoa donde, a la muerte de Mara, [su padre,] heredó la corona. [Pero no sabemos si volvió a casarse.] »Queda demostrado —concluye Gómez Ardila— que los [conquistadores] españoles no sólo aniquilaron a los indígenas, despojándolos de su cultura y sus riquezas, sino que no los dejaron vivir sus historias de amor con final feliz.»1 Francamente, no parece justo que un cónyuge moribundo le pida al otro que no vuelva a casarse, y menos aún que se lo jure antes de tomar su último aliento. Tal vez pudiera justificar semejante petición pensando que su matrimonio ha sido insuperable, y que por lo tanto no quiere que el cónyuge se exponga a ser decepcionado la próxima vez. Pero por eso mismo pudiera razonarse que ese cónyuge reúne todos los requisitos necesarios para hacer feliz a otra persona, y que eso lo acredita para volver a casarse. Gracias a Dios, todo viudo y toda viuda pueden hallar cierto consuelo en el hecho de que Él diseñó el matrimonio precisamente porque determinó que «no es bueno que el hombre esté solo».2 Pero, si vuelven a casarse, será mucho menor el riesgo de ser decepcionados si cumplen con la condición de San Pablo de que los dos sean auténticos seguidores de Cristo.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Gustavo Gómez Ardila, «Guaimaral y Zulia, ejemplo de integración colombo-venezolana», Cúcuta para reírla (Escenas de su historia) En línea 6 julio 2019. 2 Gn 2:18 3 1Co 7:39

MIÉRCOLES 11 DE FEBRERO DE 2026 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA "Este pueblo de labios me honra; mas su corazón está lejos de mí. Pues en vano me honran, enseñando como doctrinas, mandamientos de hombres." (Mateo 15:8-9) Si existe un error grave ante Dios, es enseñar como doctrina mandamientos de hombres. Lo peor es usar el nombre de Dios para darle cumplimiento a lo falso. El buen maestro basa su enseñanza en lo que está bien definido en la ley. Todo lo que perjudique esa ley es dañar a Dios, que sufre por ver dañados a quienes son enseñados por la mentira. El engaño de Satanás a Adán y Eva se repetirá de diferentes formas hasta que Cristo venga. Sabiéndolo no dudemos en responder con la Palabra a las falsas palabras. Imitemos al Maestro: su respuesta la daba con mucha seguridad: Escrito está.
