Hebrews 10:25

Some people have given up the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord’s coming is getting closer.

It is commonly observed that Christians kill their wounded. Mas mabuti pa raw yung mga taong labas. Pag nasugatan yung kanilang comrade, binubuhat, dinadala. Pag may nagkamali o nagkasala, dapat magpapatawad tayo at hindi na tayo yung magpapahaba ng mga usapin, ng mga chismis at kung anu-ano pa.

The church is a hospital for the wounded, not a department store where you display your best products. Kaya dapat nandun ang pang-unawa at pagmamahal. Dapat relaxed tayo sa church because we know that we are brothers and sisters who will love and accept each other unconditionally. We will not stab each other in the back, and we will not gossip about one another. When we entrust our deepest secrets to our brothers and sisters, they will pray for us and with us, and shut their mouths and not talk about it.

The church is for love and for loving. It is not for criticizing or judging others. We don’t sit as a panel of judges to measure the holiness of one another because we are all sinners before God. The sooner we accept that and open our hearts to be loving, kind and forgiving, less self-promoting, less self-praising, and less self-righteous, the better the church will be the place and the family that Jesus wants it to be.

DO NOT MANIPULATE

1 Thessalonians 5:15

…be good to each other and to everyone else.

Isang napakalaking misteryo na ang dami-daming Kristianong nakababad sa Salita ng Dios, sumasama sa mga prayer meetings, dumadalo sa mga Bible study, nagwo-worship at may involvement pa sa ministry, pero kayang-kaya nilang gumawa ng mga bagay na alam na alam nilang ikakatisod, ikakagalit o kaya ikakasakit ng loob ng kapwa. Pumapasok lang kaya sa kanang tenga at lumalabas sa kaliwa ang Salita ng Dios? Kasi kung pumapasok at iniipon sa puso, dapat may pagbabago sa buhay. And yet, some of the most horrible behavior that you can see are among adult Christians.

Maraming mga Kristiano ang napakahuhusay magmani-obra ng kapwa. Mayroon silang sariling kagustuhan at ang gagawin ay kakausapin ka nang kakausapin at kukwentuhan ka nang kukwentuhan. Dadaanin ka sa suggestion. Hindi ka titigilan hangga’t hindi nananaig ang gusto nilang mangyari. Kung anu-anong paikot ang gagawin sa iyo para ang ending yung gusto nilang gawin mo ang gagawin mo. And this is evil because it is deceptive.

Ang Dios nga ay nagbibigay-laya. Binigyan tayo ng free will. Kaya dapat ganun din ang ibinibigay natin sa kapwa. Maging considerate tayo sa kapwa. Maging mabuti. Maging mabait. Huwag tayong mag-manipulate ng tao.

PINTAS O PURI?

Proverbs 11:12

It’s stupid to say bad things about your neighbors…

There is a very thin line between love and hatred, and many people find it hard to delineate between the two. Kaya maraming taong dating nagmamahalan na ngayon ay nagkakagatan. Dapat kahit ano pa ang mangyari, manatili yung respeto. Hindi natin maaaring sirain ang pagkatao ng dating kasuyo na hindi tayo madadamay. Kasi bahagi rin tayo ng pagkatao nila. Hindi tayo puedeng dumura sa langit na hindi tatama sa mukha natin ang ating dura. Hindi natin puedeng siraan ang ating sariling pamilya o ang dating kaibigan na hindi rin tayo masisira. Nakakaliit ito ng mundo.

The tongue is powerful. And like everything that is powerful, the tongue must be checked and used correctly and sparingly. The power of speech must be used to nourish, not to destroy. Tayo ang nagiging unang biktima ng masasama nating salita because the kind of words we use against other people only reflect what is inside our heart. The quickest way to give away who you really are is by opening your mouth.

Napakahalaga na kinokontrol at dinidisiplina natin ang ating dila na huwag manira ng kapwa. Bakit kailangang mamintas kung may mga bagay naman na dapat purihin? Tandaan natin na ang pakikitungo natin sa kapwa ay pakikitungo natin sa Dios. Hindi natin maaaring siraan ang ating kapwa na hindi natin sinasaktan ang puso at damdamin ng Dios na nagmamahal din sa taong yun. Napakahalagang alalahanin natin na ang pakikitungo sa tao ay isang napakataas na uri ng relihiyon. Ang pakikipagmabutihan at pakikipagkapwa-tao ay isang mataas na antas ng espirituwalidad.

PILIIN ANG KASAMA

Proverbs 22:24

Don’t make friends with anyone who has a bad temper.

Kapag ang kasama natin ay mga taong magugulo, palasangkot sa mga chismis at intriga, maiinitin ang ulo, palababag at palaaway, tayo ay madadamay, mahahawa at mada-damage. Do not associate with them. Do not even associate with people who bring you down and make you feel small. Yung mga taong pinapakitid ang ating utak at lagi tayong pinapagalit. Nagagalit ka sa isang tao kahit hindi mo pa naririnig ang side nya dahil lang kinausap natin ang isang taong galit sa kanya. Iniingatan natin ang sobrang pakikipagmabutihan sa mga tao na bad ang influence.

Iwasan ang mga taong wala nang alam pag-usapan kundi ang tumataas na presyo ng bilihin, ang mag-contest kung sino ang mas malala ang karamdaman, ang makipagpaligsahan kung sino ang mas malungkot, mas kawawa at mas martir.

“Ang asawa ko, hindi umuwi ng isang araw.”

“Daig kita, yung asawa ko limang araw.”

“Aba, ang asawa ko isang taon.”

Palakpakan dahil siya ang nanalo.

Pahalagahan natin ang mga tao who make us feel good about life and inspire us to actually do something good. Pahalagahan ang mga taong hindi lang nakakapagpatawa sa atin kundi nakakapagpakita rin kung papaano papasayahin ang buhay sa pamamagitan ng pagsisikap at karunungan. Pahalagahan natin yung mga taong itinuturo ang ating mga kapintasan at kakulangan sa paraang hindi tayo nilalait.

Dapat na pinipili ang kasama, ang pagbubuhusan ng oras, ang ka-text at ka-chat. There is so much to learn this side of eternity so we choose people who bring out the best in us.

DAPAT KA BANG MAINGGIT?

Proverbs 23:17

Don’t be jealous of sinners, but always honor the LORD.

Hindi dapat na kinaiinggitan ang mga masasamang-loob. Hindi dapat na pinamamarisan ang kanilang mga maling gawa. Do not envy wrongdoers. Kahit obvious namang sabihing, “Siempre!” madalas pa rin tayong nalilibang at natutukso na mainggit sa mga biglang yumayaman kahit mali ang paraan ng kanilang pagyaman. Naiinggit tayo dun sa mga gumagawa ng shortcuts para magkaroon sila ng instant rewards at gratification. Naiinggit tayo sa mga nandaraya na sila pang napo-promote sa pwesto o kaya ay nagiging topnotcher sa mga exams.

But the Bible says, “Don’t be jealous of sinners.” Alam ng Dios kung sino ang gumagawa ng mali at alam nya how to deal with them. Bakit, alam ba natin kung napaparusahan na pala ng Dios yung gumagawa ng mali? Maaaring sa pang-ibabaw na akala natin, tunay na ang sarap-sarap ng buhay nila, pero hindi naman natin nakikita na may mga kaparusahan nang nangyayari.

Minsan nga, iniisip natin dehadong-dehado tayo dahil tayo yung gumagawa ng tama. Pero hindi natin napapansin na ang dami palang blessings ang ibinibigay sa atin ng Dios. Limitado kasi ang pananaw nating mga tao. Kadalasan ang nakikita lang natin ay yung tinititigan natin at yung gusto nating makita. Kapag Dios na ang nagsabi na huwag tayong maiinggit sa mga gumagawa ng masama, manalig tayo. Kahit sinasabi ng isip, puso, at karanasan natin na kainggit-inggit sila, huwag tayong matukso minsan man na managhili sa kanila.

Sa bandang huli, sasaatin ang kapayapaan kung ilalagay sa Dios ang pagtitiwala.

MAGPA-CONSUELO KA NAMAN

Acts 20:35

…Remember that our Lord Jesus said, “More blessings come from giving than from receiving.”

Maraming taong nagmamagandang-loob sa atin, nagbibigay ng panahon at ng oras para makinig sa mga hinaing natin sa buhay, at nagagawa nating abalahin nang walang bayad. Kaya lang, huwag naman nating tigasan ang mukha natin. Hindi naman komo laging free at available ay aabusuhin na. Kailangan palabigay ang tao, hindi palahingi, hindi pala-kuha, hindi palakabig, hindi gusto laging libre lahat.

Inubos nyo yung oras ng isang tagapayo at idinagan nyo sa kanya ang mga problema nyo, ‘tapos kahit isang chiclet man lang, di nyo naabutan? Magbigay naman tayo kahit isang suha. Magpa-consuelo man lang kahit walang hinihingi sa inyo. Kung manonood kayo ng sine, horror pa para matakot, magbabayad kayo, pero yung ipinanalangin kayo at pinayuhan na walang napala sa inyo, kasamaan na ng ugali yan.

Parang sa mga family reunions na ginaganap taun-taon na tuwing darating kayo, wala kayong dala kundi empty stomach. Yung host na lang lagi ang naghahanda at pagkaalis nyo, siya pa ang pagod maglinis. Madadalâ yun at magiging maramot dahil di kayo marunong magsukli. Tandaan nyo, pagka may nagdamot sa inyo, napagod na siguro yun sa kabibigay na wala man lang nahita.

God wants abundance everywhere and it will only be possible if everybody gives to everybody whatever they can afford to give. But if everyone withholds and just asks for free, there will be poverty. Why? Yung mangilan-ngilan at konting nagbibigay, mauubusan din yun o kaya ay madadalâ at di na rin magbibigay. Magkakaroon ng climate of selfishness instead of generosity.
