Proverbs 10:19

You will say the wrong thing if you talk too much—so be sensible and watch what you say.

Maraming kasalanan yung madadaldal. Bakit? Pagka sa kanyang addiction na dumaldal at wala nang maikwentong totoo, iimbento na yan. Kung yung kanyang kwento ay hindi kamangha-mangha, dadagdagan nya yan para gumanda at nang lalo naman siyang hangaan ng mga nakikinig. Kung hindi naman talaga buktot ang kanyang puso pero mababa ang I.Q. at hindi nya laging totally naiintindihan yung issue, gagawa siya ng sariling interpretation na siya nyang ikukuwento sa iba.

Kapag mali ang kwento, hindi yun totoo. At kung hindi yun totoo, hindi yun galing sa Dios. Kaya pumapasok ang kasalanan. Marami namang tao ang hindi sinasadya na maging dahilan ng gulo e. Kaya lang hindi naaabot ng katalinuhan nila na puede silang maging sanhi, sangkot at mitsa ng gulo dahil sa kanilang mga dila. At kapag nakasakit na yung iba, sasabihin pa, “Hindi ko naman siya gustong saktan.” Oo nga, pero nasaktan na e.

Kaya dapat nagre-review tayo. Kung may bulsa ang mga pantalon at mga blusa, lalong dapat may zipper ang bibig because many words lead to sin. Sin is getting out of limits. Kapag lumampas na sa itinakdang boundary ang isang bagay, sin yun. Dapat alam natin kung hanggang saan tayo puedeng magsalita, saan ang tamang lugar na magsalita, ano ang tamang oras ng pagsasalita, ano ang tamang okasyon na magsasalita, sino ang dapat nandyan para puedeng magsalita at para hindi puedeng magsalita.It is very important that we should be conscious of our verbal boundaries.

James 2:12-13

Speak and act like people who will be judged by the law that sets us free. Do this, because on the day of judgment there will be no pity for those who have not had pity on others. But even on judgment, God is merciful!

Isang kasalanan sa ating kapwa ang siya ay husgahan nang walang pagsisiyasat at paglilimi. Kung may isinusumbong laban sa isang tao at hindi pa natin naririnig ang kanyang panig, huwag muna tayong gagawa ng conclusion kung sino ang tama at kung sino ang mali. Wala namang nagsusumbong at aamin na, “Alam mo nag-away kami ni Person A. Ako ang may kasalanan. Ang sama-sama ko. Ang sungit-sungit ko kasi.” Pag narinig nyo yan sa isang tao, humanga kayo at sumaludo.

People will always justify themselves and condemn others para kampihan nyo sila. Lalung-lalo na kung ang nagsusumbong sa inyo ay malapit sa inyong puso. Tiyak, kampi kayo agad. Ganyan ang mga nasa sanlibutan. Pero dapat iba ang pananaw ng mga mananampalataya.

Dapat nating itanong sa sarili, are we being fair to the innocent or are we being judgmental? Are we merciful? Pagka mayroong nagkukwentuhan at naninirang-puri sa isang tao, nagpapakita ba tayo ng habag dun sa sinisiraan? Are we fair to the innocent and are we merciful to the guilty? Hindi por que guilty ang isang tao ay maaari na natin siyang yurakan at wasakin. Hinihingan din tayo ng habag. Kung tayo ay mapagpatawad maging sa mga nagkakamali, tayo man ay hindi titikim ng panghuhusga. Kung gaano karami yung ibinibigay nating habag sa mga nagkakasala, ganun din ang matatanggap nating habag para sa mga sarili nating guilt.

CHILDISH KA BA?

1 Corinthians 13:11

When we were children, we thought and reasoned as children do. But when we grew up, we quit our childish ways.

For those in positions of influence, grow up at i-minimize ang masasaktan mo habang di ka pa sanay gumamit ng iyong power over others. In this verse, Paul admits to his childish stage as a leader. Medyo kawawa kasi yung mapagpraktisan ng mga bagong may kapangyarihan. Katulad ng isang instructor sa unibersidad. Bagong-bago siya sa posisyon at may laude-laude siya nang gumraduate. E may kayabangan. Ang taas-taas ng standard nya, halos walang pumasa. Nag-rally ang mga estudyante laban sa kanya. Magaling nga siya kaya lang hindi pa siya sanay sa power nya over students. Ginagamit nya yung kanyang power para i-prove ang sarili. It doesn’t work that way. Kaya mag-ingat tayo sa paggamit ng kapangyarihan o awtoridad.

Sino ang childish? Pag akala mong mature ka. Sino yung mangmang? Pag akala mong alam mo lahat. Ang marunong, alam nyang hindi siya marunong. Ang mangmang, hindi nya alam na mangmang siya. Yung marunong, alam nyang mangmang siya. Pareho pa rin silang mangmang. Pero ang naiiba ay ang behavior dahil pag alam mong hindi ka magaling o marunong, bumabait ka’t nagiging humble ka.

What we know is little, what we do not know is immense. So, pag akala nyo mature kayo, maybe you are childish. Kasi yung tunay na mature, alam nyang may tendency siyang maging childish, mag-isip-bata. Therefore, nag-iingat siya hindi dahil alam na nya lahat, kundi dahil alam nyang marami siyang hindi pa alam.

TALBOG SA IYO, DIKIT SA AKIN

Ecclesiastes 5:6

…God can destroy everything you have worked for, so don’t say something that makes God angry.

Bantayan natin ang ating bibig. Ang Dios ay maaaring magalit sa atin sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang namumutawi sa ating mga labi. At pag nagalit siya sa atin, maaari nyang hayaang masira yung ating mga binubuo at hindi ito magtatagumpay. Tanggalin lang nya ang kanyang proteksyon, masisira tayo naturally, automatically.

“Bakit kaya ako ganito? Bakit nalulugi ako? Bakit ang hirap-hirap ng buhay?”

“Banal ka ba o hindi?”

“Ang dami kong ginagawang kasalanan.”

“Natural na magkaganyan ka.”

Huwag tayong magrereklamo sa Dios kung masikip ang buhay natin. Natural na sisikip yan kung marami tayong inaalagaang kasalanan. But in spite of what we are, God remains gracious, dahil marami-rami pa rin tayong nae-enjoy sa buhay.

Siyasatin natin. Bakit mayroong prosperous at mayroong hindi? Huwag nating sisihin ang Dios. Huwag ibang tao ang pag-aralan natin. Pag-aralan natin ang ating bibig. Baka mayroon tayong mga katabilan at mga sinasabing hindi nakakalugod sa Dios. Remember, we are accountable for every word that we say. There is power in the spoken word. Pag-ingatan ang pananalita. Bawat bibitawang salita, tinatanong natin, “Puede ba itong bumalik sa akin?” Talbog sa iyo, dikit sa akin.

LABELS

James 4:11-12

My friends, don’t say cruel things about others! If you do, or if you condemn others, you are condemning God’s Law. And if you condemn the Law, you put yourself above the Law and refuse to obey either it or God who gave it. God is our judge, and he can save or destroy us. What right do you have to condemn anyone?

One sin we commit against our fellowmen is slander o paninirang-puri. Yung pagsasabi ng lahat ng mga kapangitan, kasiraan, kasamaan ng isang tao na hindi naman nabibigyan ng pagkakataong ipagtanggol ang kanyang sarili dahil hindi naman siya present. Napakabilis manirang-puri at mag-pass ng judgment.

Passing judgment is oversimplification. Pag sinabi mo, “Masama yang taong yan,” oversimplification yun, dahil siguradong may mabuti rin sa kanya. Siguradong may kagandahang-loob yan sa ilang tao kahit kung minsan may kapangitang-loob siya sa iba. Pag may alam kang tatlong tao na hindi nabayaran ng isang nangungutang kahit nagbayad naman pala siya sa pito, at sasabihin mo, “Naku, manunuba yan,” it’s an oversimplification. Madalas ganyan tayo ka-unfair sa ating kapwa.

You cannot oversimplify a person because he/she is complex. The moment you oversimplify many things about a person, you begin to give that person a label. And the moment you label a person, that’s already slander. You don’t respect the person kasi binibigyan mo lang siya ng label according to your biases and what you have heard many people say which you never probably experienced yourself.

Christians should never indulge in slandering people. Nobody can be perfect as to be perfectly wrong or perfectly evil. Kasi perfection na yun. At walang taong perfect.
