HIRAP SA BUHAY?!

 Q - Bakit po kaya ang ilap-ilap ng kapalaran sa akin. Nawala po halos ng magagandang projects na hanap-buhay ko. Dahil po kaya matagal na kong tumigil mag-church kasi naman ay wala akong matagpuang church na hiyang sa aking panlasa. (Aaminin ko po na ma-pride ako at maselan pero hindi po ako lumayo sa Diyos, naging private na lang nga po ang prayer and Bible study ko.)

Bakit po hirap na hirap ako ngayon sa buhay samantalang dati ay masagana ako at maraming projects?

A - Kung kahit na lang saang larangan ay parang mailap ang kasiyahan at kasaganaan, be it material, emotional or spiritual, malamang na ang bara ay wala sa labas kundi nasa loob.

Take an inward journey. Siyasatin mo ang kalooban mo at hanapin ang bara sa pagdaloy ng buhay at pagpapala.

Everything is spiritual and our battles are fought in spiritual realms.

To be more specific --- battles are in the mind. In thought .

Suriin mo ang paraan at takbo ng iyong pag-iisip at malamang ay naroon ang bara.

Puedeng negative ka mag-isip madalas: puedeng tulad ng sabi mo, ma-pride, o kaya magagalitin.

Puede ring may paraan ka na mapanakit o nakasasakit sa kapwa. Bawat sakit ng loob ng kapwa na tayo ang may gawa ay bumabalik sa atin bilang sakit din. What we give is what we get.

Siyasatin mo what you give to the world because it is what the world will give back to you. So what you are getting now could be what you have been giving to the world.

In life, we keep what we give away and lose what we selfishly try to keep.

We are not victims of life: we make life. So give what you like to receive.

Bless instead of curse. What comes out of our mouths fly into the sky and boomerangs back to us.

Change your life by changing the way you think, talk and live.

*

Romans 12.2 Be changed by the renewing of your mind.

*

Our mind is a factory. Thoughts produce the things that surround us.

So make your thoughts/mind produce what you like to harvest in life.

Ang kailangan para baguhin ang kapalaran ay PAGBABAGONG-LOOB / Paghuhunus-dili ---na magaganap matapos ang pagninilay-nilay at pagbubulay-bulay.

AT HINDI laging KAILANGAN ANG Religion, Inc. para maganap ang pagliliwanag ng isip. May pagkakataong yung religious baggage pa nga ang nagiging hadlang para magkaron ng tunay na panunuri ng espiritu.

Kaya huwag mong isiping lumalayo ang Diyos sa yo dahil lang malayo ka sa corporate religiosity. Hindi lang sa religiosity nakakaniig ang Maylikha. Pero kung may tama, tugma at hiyang na church, makatutulong ito ng malaki.

Dalangin ko na maiba ang ihip ng hangin sa paligid mo.

Pero mangyayari yun kung maiba muna ang ihip ng hangin sa kaibuturan ng puso mo. Ang pagbabago sa labas at tugon lang sa pagbabago sa loob.

Bunutin, alisin, puksain ang anumang hinananakit, sama ng loob, galit, poot at pagkasuklam na nananahan sa puso. Ang mga ito ay mga batubalaning umaakit ng hinagpis.

Q & A - Ed Lapiz

 Q - Sa dinami-rami po ng naging BF ko bago ako nakasal kay husband,

nalilito po akong piliin till now kung sino talaga sa kanila ang best.

Alin po kaya ang best Tito?

A -

Yung tomotoo at nagpakasal sa yo!

Manahimik ka na.

Wag nang isipin ang mga nagdaan sa yong mga kamay.

Baka may mag-U turn pa.

Major mistake ng mga tao sa pagkakilala nila sa Diyos?

 Q - Sa tagal nyo na po sa ministry, ano ang na-observe nyong major mistake ng mga tao sa pagkakilala nila sa Diyos?

A -

That God's agenda is to change people.

Yun din tuloy ang ginagawang (oppressive) agenda ng church.

What many do not realize and understand is that God opens his heart to accept and love people!

That God's acceptance does not require people to change first!

With unconditional love through Jesus, God accepts people as they are, where they are.

Then "change" is a result of an active loving relationship and interaction with God.

And one of the greatest changes is not really having to force oneself to change

but to be able to change one's perception of and attitude toward himself --- to see himself, accept himself, and love himself ---as God does.

CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE Both Sides Now - ED LAPIZ

CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE 

"One-Way" street is better that "Road Closed"

 Q - Lagi po akong lugi sa lovelife ko. How can I minimize this feeling like a loser?

A - Lugi? Kelan pa naman naging negosyo ang love na may puhunan at may expected tubo? (Therefore may lugi)

Kung minahal/namahal mo ang mahal mo, hindi ka lugi kahit di ka rin nya mahalin.

Find joy in giving the love, whether or not you receive love back.

Siempre mas maganda kung minamahal ka rin (tubo!) pero kung hindi, pasayahin mo na muna ang sarili mo sa one-way love. "One-Way" street is better that "Road Closed".

Something is better than nothing.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

 Q - Parang may mga payo po kayong hindi "usual" ?

A -

Pamangkin, I seldom give "usual" payo kasi yung usual ay mostly malayo sa bituka; walang immediate use.

At yung "usual payo" ay bagay lang sa mga normAL ang sitwasyon.

Maraming ang kalagayan ay hindi normal, not necessarily meaning "wrong" but just ABnormal, meaning not like the majority.

I USUALLY GIVE PRACTICAL ADVICE na doable at madaling tumalab ---and friendly sa pinapayuhan. For sure hindi ko ipapa-api ang pinapayuhan ko ---which is the usual payo: "Magtiis ka...magpasensya ka na...ipag-pray mo na lang...etc."

Many people are unable to live ideal, "normal" lives; they fall in the cracks, needing to just survive a moment, a day, or even a lifetime of pain, sorrow or grave need.

I could give the standard, ideal, safe answers but that would only keep me safe from criticisms of retro Pharisees, but would prove unhelpful to those who are bleeding to death.

I am here not to seek popular votes but to help the wounded, especially those who are misunderstood, judged, shunned, marginalized and minimized by the "ideal and normal" gangs who live in denial of people's real pains and even add oppression to those people's already hard lives.

Those who live ideal lives have no need to read my wall; they could just sit back and relax in their couches and watch reruns of "The Stepford Wives".

Ed Lapiz - ISANG TANONG ISANG SAGOT

 Q - Tito bakit po may paksiw na pata na ang lapot-lapot (sarap-sarap tuloy) ng sarsa at mayron namang parang ang labnaw (hindi masarap!) ?

A -

Para malapot ang sarsa, dapat yung pata cuts na bagong hugas /nilamas sa asin or bagong thaw ay ilagay sa mainit na caserola at hayaan matuyo mag-isa. Lalabas ang katas/natunaw na taba-taba at hayaang magkasamang kumulu-kulo ang pata cuts at yung konting katas. Bali-baligtarin ang pata cuts para di masunog. After some time, dun pa lang ilagay ang "sabaw"/stock (pinaghalong tubig, suka, toyo, pamintang buo, bulaklak ng saging, laurel, binasag na bawang, sibuyas, etc.)

MAGIGING MALAPOT ANG SARSA PAG GANYAN ANG GINAWA ---BASTA WAG SANG-KATERBA ANG ILAGAY NA "SABAW".

Teka.....nakakahalata ako ....

Q - Bakit po parang habang papatanda, kumokonti ang mga close friends?

A -

1. Law of Nature? Nagde-depart na ang mga old friends na nauna sa pila sa departure gate?

2. Alam na ---at iniiwasan na ---ang mga ayaw na types?

3. Afford nang wag makisalamuha sa mga ayaw na tao?

4. Pagod /Tamad nang mag-invest sa new friendships?

5. Mas comfortable nang mapag-isa most of the time?

Q - Paano po ako magiging like ng maraming tao?

A -

Be useful, not a user.

Maging asset, not a liability.

Tumulong at huwag laging patulong.

Give more than you take.

Be part of the solution, not the problem.

Q - Paano po magkakaron ako ng pagpapatawad sa mga hindi ko gustong ugali/asal at gawa ng mga tao at paano ko matuturuan ang sariling tanggapin ang mga taong ayaw ko ang style nila sa buhay?

A - Isipin/Alalahain mo ang GENETICS. People behave the way they do mostly because of NATURE/genetics: They were born that way.

Surely, may mga ginagawa din ang tao na based sa choice/decision nya o upbringing/context nya: NURTURE. Yun ang puedeng baguhin in significant ways.

Pero marami sa asal/way of thinking/behavior/tendency, etc ay NATURE.

Genes." In the blood."

Hindi mababago in significant ways.

Tinatanggap na lang.

At kung ayaw mo, layuan mo na lang; keep distance.

Isaiah 45:9-10 (CEV)

The Lord said:

... you have no right

to argue with your Creator.

You are merely a clay pot

shaped by a potter.

The clay doesn’t ask,

“Why did you make me this way?

Where are the handles?”

Children don’t have the right

to demand of their parents,

“What have you done

to make us what we are?”

The person cannot complain how he/she is created.

Others shoould not complain how fellow humans are created.

Q - How can I protect myself from being hurt by people's comments? My critics don't even really know me!!!

A -

1. Be invisible, inaudible and imperceptible para wala silang makita, marinig ni madama tungkol sa yo na puede nilang react-an?

2. Do not read them nor listen to them?

3. Tibayan ang sikmura, kapalan ang apog?

4. Recite:

"Stick and stones can hurt my bones,

but words can never hurt me" ?

5. Remember: People's comments are just that: comments.

Those words needs not be taken

- as truth.

- seriously.

Umawit ka ng "NOSI BA LASI" ?

A wise lady once said:

"If they don't know you, it doesn't matter.

If you do noy know them, they do not matter."

Q - May kilala po akong napakaraming posts lagi at ako naman po, comment nang comment. OK po ba yun?

A -

Kung wala lang magawa yung nagpo-post, puede naman sigurong mag-comment ka na lang basta-basta.

Pero kung may purpose /saysay /misyon yung nagpo-post, igalang mo yun.

Mag-comment ka sa wall nya nun lang

supportive sa post nya.

Wag kang mag comment ng pang-gulo,

pangontra o pang agaw-pansin.

Kung may ibig kang sabihin on the same matter pero kontra sa post nya,

DUN KA SA SARILI MONG WALL MAGSABOG ng iyong maningning at preciosang kaalaman.

Q - Tito, may frend po ako na give nang give ng "advice" sa FB wall nya kahit wala syang K. 99% po hindi ako agree sa mga sinasabi nya. Minsan po hindi ko matiis kaya nagkocomment ako to give my truth!? Or to modify yung sagot/statements nya.

A -

WAG KANG SUMABAT, pamangkin.

Wall mo ba yun?

Ikaw ba ang tinatanong dun?

Kung napakarami mong "truths":

i-post mo sa wall MO para mabasa ng angaw-angaw mong followers.

Isagot mo sa nagtatanong sa IYO.

Do not trespass sa wall ng may wall.

HINDI MO KAILANGANG ITUWID ANG LAHAT NG LIKO sa tingin mo SA MUNDO.

Otherwise you would have to "correct"

7 BILLION people every minute.

Q - Bakit po maraming preachers ang hilig at ang dalas mag-debate versus one another?

A -

1. Genuine search for "truth"?

2. Genuine concern for the other? Para sya "itama"?

3 Desire to demolish ideas not one's own, especially if contradicting one's position?

4. Agawan ng audience? Pagalingan before the audience?

5. Personal conviction that one is God-appointed "Defender of Truth" / of Faith

/of Sect?

Q - May friend po ako na dati mahilig mag-invite, mag-treat at mamasyal.

I have noticed na matagal na po syang quiet at hindi na nag-i-invite ---kahit noong bago pa magka pandemic?

Bakit po kaya?

A - Baka

1. busy?

2. walang pera lately?

3. nagsawa na kalilibre?

4. nainis sa yo?

5. walang napapala sa kai-invite nya sa yo?

Q - Ano po ang pwedeng gawin pag dumating ka na sa point na feeling mo di ka pinakikinggan ni Lord, yung feeling mo di ka naman Nya talaga mahal?

A - Feeling lang yun.

God loves us no matter what.

But God's love does not always equate to yes answers to your prayers.

Q - Ano po ang gagawin ko sa parents ko na wala nang ginawa kundi i-exploit ako at gatasan ng pera to death. OM na nga po ako, tapos galit pa sila na nakipag-BF ako. Pinagbabawalan po nila akong mag-asawa dahil paano naman daw po ang suporta ko sa kanila at sa mga kapatid ko? Ang tagal-tagal ko na pong nagsusustento sa kanila pero ayaw pa nila akong palayain? Ano po ang gagawin ko?

A - Makipag-BF ka at mag-asawa! Wag mo silang sundin.

Ano ang mangyayari pag sinunod mo sila?

1. Uubusin mo ang youth mo sa sa pagsuporta sa kanila.

2. Tatanda sila at mamatay.

3. Pag nangyari yun, matanda ka na rin, no partner, no anak. Alone.

Ganun.

Suwayin mo sila in that department. Now na. Baka magsara na ang Puerta Isabel II sa Intramuros!

Then, patuloy mo silang tulungan sa abot-kaya. At least, kung mapagod ka, may papa kang sasandalan; kung mainis ka, may papa kang susumbungan. At, kung mauna sa yong gumradweyt ang parents mo,

habang inililibing sila at nag-eemote ka ay may papang naka-akbay sa yo...at may papa kang kasabay uuwi from the libing.

Mahalin ang payrents, pero hindi sila ang partner mo sa buhay kundi si Papa Piccolino.

Q - Unloved po ako noong bata pa ako, hindi napapansin, laging naiiwanan at napipintasan pa. Naging violent din po sa akin ang mga parents ko at kapatid.

Ngayon, para pong damaged ang personality ko. Wala po akong ginagawa sa BF ko kundi awayin sya, paghanapan ng attention at pagbuntunan ng mga init ng ulo ko.

Alam ko pong mali ang trato ko sa kanya pero di ko po mapigil?

A - Huwag mong singilin sa BF mo ang lahat ng utang sa yo ng mundo!

At hwag mong sabihing hindi mo kayang pigilin ang sarili mo.

Excuse at arte lang yan ng mga gustong ipilit ang mali.

Gamutin mo ang sarili mo; ang mga sugat ng childhood.

At mahalin mo ang bf mo na mukha namang pinagtitiisan ang mga drama mo.

Q - Nasa abroad po ako at hindi Filipino ang husband ko. Balak po namin mag-retire dyan sa atin. Ano po kaya ang magandang pundar /investment ngayon pa lang na malayo pa ang retirement age namin?

A - BUSINESS kung may super mapagkakatiwalaan in terms of ability and honesty.

Otherwise, LUPA / REAL ESTATE.

Laging tumataas ang presyo (wag lang katabi ng bulkan). You earn much more than in interests kung itatabi mo ang pera sa bank.

OR part-business and part-real estate and part bank deposits?

Q - Nagsisimula pa lang po ang committed relations ko with my brand new bf ay mukhang disaster yata ang napasok ko!!! What to do, Tito??!!

A - Tulad ng ginagawa ng drivers na napapasok sa dead-end street, ATRAS pamangkin!

Q - Tito ang tanga ko po... I lost the man of my dreams not once, not twice, but thrice!!!

All because of my kababawan, ka-artehan,

stubborness, etc.

ANO PO ANG GAGAWIN KO?

A - Congratulations, pamangkin!

Malalim ka na enough to know and acknowledge your liability for losing him many times.

(Maraming tao hindi natututo kahit 1K times pang magkamali. Lagi pa ring sila ang "victim" sa tingin nila.)

So siguro, kung magkakaron ka ulit ng crack at romance, wiser ka na.

Hindi mo na wawaldasin ang opportunity.

Pero malamang sa ibang lalaki mo na ma-a-apply ang newly acquired wisdom mo, kasi baka tulad mo ay mas tumalino na rin yung guy at binura ka na nya sa mapa?

Q - Mas nakikinig daw po ng dasal ang Diyos pag dawn ---kaya lagi kaming dapat mag dawn watch?

A - Daig ng Dios ang botica na gising 24 oras ---so pareho lang sa Dios ang pakikinig kahit anong oras ka magdasal. Ang may relevance ay ikaw, ang kalagayan ng isip mo at katawan sa ibat-ibang oras ng maghapon o magdamag. Dun sa body rythm /body clock mo itugma ang best time for you to pray. Madalas naman talaga masarap manalangin kung tahimik at di ka busy, tulad ng sa madaling-araw.

Pero hindi yun dapat gawin dahil iniisip na mas nakikinig ang Dios sa oras na yun kasi sa ibat ibang bahagi ng mundo ay hindi sabay-sabay na madaling-araw.

Q - Nanaginip daw po ang isang sister na sabi ng anghel papautangin ko sya? Kaya hayan po at kinukuha yung pera in all seriousness?

A - Sabihin mo hihintayin mong managinipi

ka rin muna para i-confirm sa anghel kung magkano ang interest na sisingilin mo sa uutangin nya?

Q - Masama raw pong mag-pray ng nakahiga? Hindi raw po diringgin ng Diyos ang dasal ng nakahiga?

A -

Saan na namang versiculo nanggaling ang alamat na yan?

Walang kinalaman ang posture /bodily pisition para marinig ng Maylikha ang dasal.

Ang mahalaga ay ang kalagayan ng puso, sidhi ng pananalig and practical deeds /pagsunod sa Law of Nature na ang Maylikha din ang nagtakda.

Q - Healthy po ba ang isip kung puro nalang positibo kahit yung totoo negative naman?

A -

Iba ang positive thinking sa escapism/denial.

Positive thinking is about seeing what is good/positive in any situation, WITHOUT denying/ignoring the whole reality, especially negative things that need to be addressed or corrected.

Q - Masama po ang loob ko sa mga taong matapos kung tulungan ng bonggang-bongga ay nilimot lang ako!

A - Wag ka nang magsama-sama ng loob pamangkin.

God is just.

Yung dapat ay "sukli/bayad" nila sa kabutihan mo na hindi nila ibinigay/ibinibigay sa yo ay and Diyos ang

1. nagbabalik/nagdadagdag sa yo.

2. kumukuha/bumabawas mula sa kanila.

Galatians 6:7 (CEV)

You cannot fool God, so don’t make a fool of yourself! You will harvest what you plant.

If you plant goodness, you harvest goodness.

If they plant ingratitude, they will harvest its fruit.

Q - Ang bait po talaga ng friend kong si M. Kahit po kaming tatlo nyang kabarkada ay hindi kagandahan at si M ay maganda, pinagtitiyagan po nya kaming kasama sa lahat ng lakad.

Kahit nga po naka mask….pansinin pa rin sya!

A - Parang nai-imagine ko na na kahit saan kayo magpunta ay sya ang napapansin ng boys?

So, isipin mo rin kung may iba pang dahilan kung bakit nya kayo gustong kasama?

Q - My husband po sobrang dry nya to the point na I dont even feel na may asawa ako. Nakakapagod din po pala. Giving without receiving. Tama po bang gumaya nalang ako sakanya? I will treat him the way he treats me. Para maramdaman nya ang nararamdaman ko?

A - Try. Baka matauhan sya at mag bunga ng better samahan nyo?

O baka naman may problema sya?

Baka may clinical o emotional issues?

Alamin mo kaya muna?

Q - Tito how can I be popular among many people?

A -

1. Huwag kang pabigat, mang-abala, manghingi, mangutang o mangmolestiya.

2. Huwag kang negative, reclamador, pintasera.

3. Maging malinis ka at mabango. Pero wag yung umaalingasaw sa pabangong amoy dakta ng cactus.

4. Respect people's privacy. Huwag usisera, chismosa at dalahira.

5. Huwag inggitera.

6. Ikisan ang salita/kwento.

7. Kung mang-aabala ng kapwa, huwag tagalan at huwag dalasan.

8. Isoli AGAD ang anumang hinihiram.

9. Be helpful, masipag, at mabilis magvolunteer sa trabaho.

10. Be appreciative of others and their works.

11. Do not impose your political or religious views on others.

12. Be teachable. Nobody likes Ms. KnowEverything.

Q - Ano po ang dapat gawin pag feeling mo nilalayuan ka ng isang tao?

A -

KUNG WORTH SYANG I-KEEP,

suriin kung bakit sya lumalayo; kung fault mo, correct the situation.

Pero kung ayaw pa rin nya lumapit ulit,

or kung di naman sya ganung ka-worthy,

then stay away!

Keep distance!

Huwag ipagsiksikan ang sarili.

Q – Tito please describe ako pala ay taong walang kwentang ka-kwentuhan?

A –

WHEN

1. You KNOW-IT-ALL

2. MAY PEG ka NA “BEEN-THERE-DONE-THAT-BEFORE-YOU-PA.”

3. MAY “knowing” facial expression ka: na alam mo na ang joke nya….o alam mo ang sagot sa pa-quizz nya, etc.

4. Inuunahan mo syang magsabi ng important words ng kwento nya.

5. Kino-korek mo sya all the time.

6. Nagkukwento sya ay sinasabayan mo syang magsalita at gumagawa ka ng small banana discussion group within the group.

7. Nag-iinterrupt ka sa ibat-ibang paraan.

8. Lagi mo syang daig sa bawat sabihin nya.

Q - Naku! Ano po ang dapat kong gawin kung ako lahat yan, Tito?

A - Ituwid ang style!

OR

Patuka sa ahas???

Q - Masama po bang mag-church hopping o lumipat ng church attendance?

A -

Depende sa motibo. Kung naghahanap ng teaching na mas

- papalapit kay Jesus

- nagpapalaya

- nagpapa-bait/buti,

why not?

Kung hindi lumipat ang first-generation Jesus believers from the priest-run temple to the independently run Jesus sambahays, eh di hindi sila lumaya from the teachers of the Law and Pharisees?

Careful with using the word

"CHURCH HOPPER".

Madalas gamitin yan para pagmukhaing carefree, frivolous, careless, playful, foolish, etc. ang mga seekers.

Technique yan ng mga gustung ikulong ang tao sa church nila; pinagmumukha nilang masamang mag-search.

Pero siempre may “church hopping” na questionable:

Kung lagi kasing napapa away sa nilalayasang church, kung para lumipat to have new victims sa pangungutang/ rakets, kung maghasik ng gulo at magsabog ng lagim, naghahanap ng mapagsasamantalahan, etc. Yun ang masamang church hopping.

Q - Patanda po ako nang patanda nang patanda kahihintay kay Mr. Right! Naluluma na po ang aking alindog at natutuyo ang aking balon! Ang dami ko na pong pinalampas at hanggang ngayoy may mangilan-ngilan pa ring pinalalampas? Tito, what to do???

A - Kung talagang mailap at di dumadapo sa bulaklak ng Katuray si Mr Right, at papunta ka na sa pagka-fossil;

kung magsasara na ang Puerta Isabel Ii sa Intramuros, at kung ang ang sariwang buko ay papunta na sa pagka-copra—- at kung ayaw kamatayan ang zero score—- baka panahon nang tanggapin ang pagsuyo ni Mr Right NOW!

I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus Christ

Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.

Jesus Christ

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

Jesus Christ

So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

Jesus Christ

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Jesus Christ

PRAYER AND PERSISTENCE - Ed Lapiz

open rebuke

 Q - Tito pwede po ba magbigay kayo ng optional interpretation and application of

Proverbs 27.5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Sawang-sawa na po akong madinig yan being used /abused by self-righteous people every time may gusto silang i-judge o pakialaman!

Something inside me tells me very strongly na mali ang understanding and use nila of this verse pero hindi ko ma-explain.

A -

Several versions translate Proverbs 27.5 as:

“It is better to correct someone openly than to love him and not show it.”

“A spoken reprimand is better than approval that’s never expressed.”

“Sharp words spoken in the open are better than love that is hidden.”

Like in most proverbs where the message is put across by presenting opposite/clashing ideas or options,

THERE ARE TWO OPPOSITE IDEAS IN PROVERBS 27.5:

1. THE DESIRABLE, which is love /being loved

and

2. THE UNDESIRABLE which is being rebuked, especially openly/publicly.

The verse could be poetically saying this idea:

• While love is desirable, IF it is only in secret and unexpressed,

then something undesirable ---like being rebuked openly---

could be considered better that that kind of love.

=

Masakit ma-open rebuke pero

mas masakit maibig ng palihim lang.

=

Mas Mabuti pa ma-open rebuke

Kesa ma-secret love.

Of course, arte lang to. Hindi talaga mean.

In other words,

• Being loved is desirable; being openly rebuked is not desirable.

But receiving something undesirable as an open rebuke could be considered better than

- being the object of a secret love.

- unknowingly receiving love that is secret and unexpressed.

=

Mas matamis pa ang mapait (being rebuked openly)

higit sa talagang matamis (being loved but only in secret).

Parang:

Mabuting pang mamatay (undesirable)

kesa mabuhay ng wala ka (mas undesirable.)

=

Open rebuke (undesirable)

Is better than secret love (mas undesirable).

=

Mas mabuti pang ma-rebuke openly kesa mamahal ng lihim lamang.

The core idea is: love should be expressed.

In an exaggerated way, this proverb says

Mas mabuti pang tumanggap ng masakit na open rebuke kesa tumanggap ng secret love.

Ang tunay na message:

So, ilabas, i-express ang love!

The verse should not be read as a license for self-appointed critics and judges to openly / callously rebuke anyone and everyone.

LITISAN at TIWALAGAN sa "CHURCH"?

 LITISAN at TIWALAGAN sa "CHURCH"?

Q – Sa very public and usually painful na pag"lilitis" at pagtitiwalag ng "sinning" members of the church, tama po bang basehan ang turo ni Jesus sa

Matthew 18:15-17

“Kung magkasala sa iyo ang iyong kapatid, puntahan mo siya at pagsabihan mo tungkol sa kanyang pagkakamali. Gawin mo ito na kayong dalawa lamang. Kung siya'y makinig sa iyo, napanumbalik mo na ang iyong kapatid. Subalit kung hindi siya makinig ay magsama ka pa ng isa o dalawa, upang batay sa patotoo ng dalawa o tatlong saksi ay mapagtibay ang bawat usapin.

Kung ayaw pa rin niyang makinig sa kanila, idulog mo ito sa iglesya; at kung ayaw niyang makinig pati sa iglesya, ituring mo siyang isang pagano at maniningil ng buwis.

A –

Si Jesus ang may turo nyan; ibig sabihin wala pang malaking “church” nung oras na itinuro yan; puro pa lang home-based groups we now call SAMBAHAY :

Yan yung groups na hanggang sa panahon ni Paul ay tinawag nyang: “the church that meets in your house”.

So, sa “iglesia” na ganyan kaliit, puro family and close friends lang ang member.

At dahil ang hanapbuhay noon was usually family-run, ang pagturing sa isang pasaway member as “pagan” only meant and purposed corrective “isolation”: isolation sa hanap-buhay, at puedeng maging sa tirahan!

Economic interdependence would then push the erring. stubborn member to accept corporate correction kasi wala syang choice! Wala syang titirhan at hanap-buhay kung patuloy na susuway! Also, dahil close kinship, may malasakit ang buung “church” sa erring member kaya hindi nila ilalabas / ikakalat ang isyu/chismis kahit pa nga it is "TOLD TO THE WHOLE CHURCH!" Sila-sila lang yun!

HINDI RIN SILA MAGIGING NEEDLESSLY CRUEL.

HINDI ITO APPLICABLE sa modern big churches where many members are NOT family nor close friends. AT MARAMING nasa leadership ay may mga political agenda within the church.

Halos stranger na nga ang members sa isat-isa kaya hindi nila pagmamalasakitan at iingatan ang confidentility ng case! Kakalat lang ang balita to the long-term or even permanent damage to the person being "corrected"! So, hindi na correction kundi punishment or revenge na.

AT HINDI SCANDALOUS PUBLIC TRIAL NOR PAINFUL, CRUEL “TIWALAG” ANG APPLICATION NG TEACHING NA YAN NI JESUS! Quiet correction pa rin ito, with attendant malasakit and care kasi nga yung “buung iglesia” ay maliit, intimate fellowship

of family ang close friends!

Hindi bagay i-apply ang ancient, time-and-place-based policy na ito sa churches in other contexts, lalu kung mas malaki kesa sa first-Century Sambahay!

At hindi na rin ito effective to achieve the goal of pushing the makulit member into correction kasi,

1. Hindi naman economically interdependent yung tao sa buung church!

May sarili syang independent hanapbuhay!

Hindi sya maooblgang sumunod!

2. Maraming ibang faith communities na puedeng lipatan ang Itinitiwalag! Hindi tulad noong panahon ni Jesus na yung home church mo lang ang kaisa-isang church sa lugar nyo! Wala kang ibang choices!

OUT OF CONTEXT SA PANAHONG ITO KUNG IA-APPLY AS-IS ANG TEACHING NA YAN.

design ng bahay

 Q - Tito middle aged couple po kami with children. Ano pong magandang design ng bahay kasi finally, magpapagawa na po kami?

A -

1. Ang main bedroom ay sa baba /ground floor para pagtanda nyo, convenient kumilos; hindi na maghahagdan.

Kung gusto nyo muna habang bata pa kayo na ang bedroom nyo ay nasa taas, maglaan ng space sa GFloor na madaling i-convert into your bedroom pag kailangan (na).

2. Not too big, not too many rooms. Gawing collapsible ang division ng rooms. Kasi your children will have families of their own and leave your house kakalog-kalog.

3. Konting floor /indoor space, maraming open /garden spaces.

4. Put all pipes, plumbing, electrical wiring OUTSIDE THE HOUSE for easy maintenance.

5. Used oversized pipes for drainage. Madaling magbara.

6. Have lots of windows for ventilation and natural lighting.

7. HAVE STORAGE SPACES. Main bodega and mini bodegas/cabinets wherever possible. SUPER KAILANGAN YAN.

8. Kung kaya, concrete roof na lang. Basta galingan ang water proofing. NO/Less maintenance. Puede pang deck, sampayan, lalagyan ng solar panels, etc.

9, Mag solar power. Sulit. Bawi in 5 years.

10. Ilayo sa property line ang bahay. Malayo sa ingay at protection sa neighborhood fire.

11, Pag kaya, wag sa bahaing lugar magtayo. Lifelong dusa twing may baha.

12. Kung nasa main road, lumayo sa road para pag nag widening hindi maputol ang house. Kung puedeng puntahan ang bahay ng vehicles na mawalan ng preno, build barricades / harang para di ka masagasaan sa loob habang nag pepedicure.

13. Make the baños really beautiful, comfortable, restful. Lakihan ang mga windows for lighting and ventilation. Lagyan na lang ng venetian blinds for optional privacy.

14. Put personal touches, like parts of your old sinirang heritage house or anything you like/love like parts of your old vehicle, stairs, etc. Upuan where nag first-kiss kayo, etc.

Corny kung lahat ng parts ng bahay ay nabibili lang sa hardware. Walang kwento/a.

15. The house should please, not impress.

WORDS and CHOICE OF WORDS

 WORDS and CHOICE OF WORDS

Kahit sa prayer, be positive; pray in the positive.

Imbes: "Ilayo nyo po kami sa sakuna..."

Say: "Keep us safe."

Imbes: "Nawa po hindi kami mapahamak..."

Say: :Panatilihin nyo po kaming ligtas."

Imbes: "Huwag po sana akong mabigo..."

Say: "Magtagumpay po nawa ako..."

Imbes: "Wag po sana akong iwan ni Papa..."

Say: "Manatili po nawa si Papa sa piling ko."

Imbes: "Ilayo nyo po kami sa gutom..."

Say: "Lagi po nawa kaming mabusog."

Imbes: "Tanggalin nyo po ang aking takot..."

Say: "Punuuin nyo po ako ng lakas ng loob, pagtitiwala at kapayapaan."

Sabi ng ilan,

HEAVEN HEARS THE MAJOR WORDS and grants accordingly.

So let heaven hear

- SAFE imbes SAKUNA.

- lLIGTAS imbes MAPAHAMAK

- MAGTAGUMPAY imbes MABIGO

- MANATILI SA PILING imbes IWAN

- BUSOG imbes GUTOM

- LAKAS NG LOOB imbes TAKOT.

ETC ETC ETC.

Now, if you still insist on using nega words---humayo kang nega sa mundong ibabaw.

 O MAHABA-HABANG STUDY PARA SA SEEKERS. MAGSIKAP.

STUDY EXPOUND APPLY

Matthew 12.1-37 NIV

1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them.

• Jesus /Jesusness allows this.

2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

• Mosesness /Pharisee-ness

vs. Jesusness

3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

• In loving people, Jesus sets free from the Law.

6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

• Jesus is greater than the temple

and the Law.

Jesusness is greater

than Mosesness /Pharisee-ness.

9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

•Doing good to -

Loving - people is greater than the

- Sabbath.

= the Law.

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.

14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

•Pharisee-ness wants to kill

Jesus/Jesusness.

15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 16 He warned them not to tell others about him. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,

the one I love, in whom I delight;

I will put my Spirit on him,

and he will proclaim justice to the nations.

19 He will not quarrel or cry out;

no one will hear his voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed he will not break,

and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,

till he has brought justice through to victory.

21 In his name the nations will put their hope.”

22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.

23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”

•The Pharisees

- accuse Jesus of demonism.

- label Jesusness as demonic.

Modern-day Pharisees accuse Jesusness

of being

- ungodly.

- unlawful.

Against the Law .

“Unbiblical.”

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

• Jesus says that his works, even ---especially ---those that go against the Law to practice love and grace, is

- done by the Spirit of God.

- the work of the Spirit.

29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house. 30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

• Jesus says:

Whoever is NOT - with him -

- into Jesusness -

is against him.

31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

• Contextually,

whoever labels the works of

Jesus /Jesusness as evil /demonic

- sins against the Spirit who is behind

the work.

- will not be forgiven.

33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

• Contextually, those “words” are words

spoken against the works of

- Jesus /Jesusness.

= the Holy Spirit.
