Netizens' Fasting for Lent

There is a different kind of fasting a Christian can do this lent:  
Restraint from expressing anything negative on the internet, on fb, on twitter, anywhere on the net. No matter how honest it may be. Just restrain.

Fast.

Expressing negative feelings, specially frustrations, can always provide venue for arguments, misunderstanding from people you know, from people you don't know. You may be able to vent out but there will always be someone to talk back and you'll never hear the end of it.

This lent, lets fast for peace. For netizens. For those who bully. For those who steal identities. For those who see the internet as venue for scams and deception. For those who are so lured and willfully ignore their family or work responsibilities in exchange for the entertainment they get from the internet. For those who are so close-minded that each time they see something that opposes their belief, they would scream their minds out with all the curses and exclamation points and everything else just to get that anger across the site.

Let's fast and reflect for ourselves, that we may contribute to peace instead of adding up to the noise of this world.

Today, we start remembering our Lord in his 40 days fast on the desert.

Let's fast with the Lord.

May kakaibang klase ng pag-aayuno na maaaring gawing ang isang Kristiyano ngayong Mahal Na Araw:  Pagpigil mula sa pagpapahayag ng anumang bagay na negatibo sa internet , sa fb, sa twitterkahit saan sa net . Kahit gaano pa katotoo ang nararamdaman na ipinahahayag mo . Pigilan mo.





Ayuno.




Kadalasan, ang pagpapahayag ng mga negatibong damdamin, lalo pagkadismaya, sa FB, twitter, ay nagiging okasyon lang sa di pagkakaintindihan, palitan ng masasamang salita, dala ng biglang pagkainis o lukso ng nararamdaman.



Ngayong Mahal Na Araw, mag ayuno tayo para sa mga netizens . Para sa mga taong mapang-api sa net. Para sa mga taong magnanakaw ng pagkakakilanlan . Para sa mga taong ginagawang lugarng panloloko at panlilinlang ang internet. Para sa mga taong kinakalimutan ang responsibilidad nila bilang estudyante, bilang empleyado at bilang parte ng pamilya sa pagtulong sa bahay araw araw ngunit pinababayaan dahil sa entertainment na nakukuha sa intenet. Para sa mga taong nakakalimot ng kanilang pagkatao pag nagagalit sa mga nababasa sa internet at pinipiling magmura at mangaway dahil hindi sila nakikita ng personal...

Mag ayuno tayo para sa ating mga sarili, na sana ay maging daan tayo at makapag dagdag sa kapayapaan imbisna makadagdag pa kaingayan ng mundo.

Ngayon, sisimulan natin ang pag-alala sa ating Panginoon sa kanyang 40 araw na pagaayuno sadesyerto.




Sabayan natin Sya sa pag aayuno.

Love is Doing!

Do you know what love is? It's not just a feeling in your heart, it's also something you do! Sometimes, saying "I love you" is super important. But showing love with your actions is like giving a big, warm hug without even touching! These are called concrete acts of love. "Concrete" just means real things you can see and do! Let's think about ways we can show love to our family and friends, just by doing things! Helping Hands (Acts of Service) Imagine your grown-up is super busy.  What if you: Help put your toys away without being asked? Set the table for dinner? Help carry the groceries inside? When you do these things, you're saying, "I love you and I want to help!" It makes everyone feel happy and cared for. Special Time (Quality Time) Do you love playing games or reading with someone special? That's a concrete act of love!  Put down your tablet and listen when your friend tells you about their day. Ask a grown-up to play your favori...

Did Prayers Ever Stop Prophecies in the Bible? The Surprising Truth

There are prominent examples in the Bible where prophecies did not take place as initially declared because of prayer and repentance. These instances highlight the conditional nature of some of God's pronouncements, particularly those concerning judgment. Here are two well-known examples: Nineveh (Book of Jonah): God sent the prophet Jonah to Nineveh to declare its impending destruction: "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" (Jonah 3:4). However, the people of Nineveh, from the king to the common person, responded with repentance, fasting, and prayer. Because of their sincere change of heart, God "relented from the disaster that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it" (Jonah 3:10). This is a classic case of a conditional prophecy where a change in human behavior (repentance) led to a change in the predicted outcome. King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:1-6 and Isaiah 38:1-6):   The prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah and told him, "Th...

Duterte Mocks God

  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  For God cannot br mocked. Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, has made several public statements that were widely interpreted as critical of God and the Catholic Church. Here are some key instances:  * Criticism of the Creation Story:    * Duterte questioned the biblical story of Adam and Eve, expressing his disbelief and asking "Who is this stupid God?" for creating them only to allow them to be tempted. This critique of the concept of original sin was a major source of controversy.  * Statements about God's "Stupidity":    * He publicly used the word "stupid" to describe God, which caused significant outrage in the predominantly Catholic Philippines.  * Challenges to God's Existence:    * Duterte also stated that he would resign if anyone could prove God's existence, further fueling the debate about his religious views.  * Attacks on the Catholic Church:    * He ...
