The post A Commitment to Bless appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Ngayong linggo, hinihikayat tayo ni Ptr. Joseph Ouano na anyayahang manahan si Kristo sa ating mga pamilya. Walang perpektong pamilya, ngunit kapag nananahanan si Kristo sa isang pamilya, ito ay mapupuno ng pagmamahalan, kapayapaan, at pasasalamat sa Diyos!

This week, Ptr. Joseph Ouano urges us to let Christ dwell in our families. No family is perfect, but when Christ dwells in a family, it will be filled with love, peace, and thankfulness to God!

The post Ang Pamilyang Pinanahanan ni Kristo appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

作兒女的, 要在主裡聽從父母。這是有條件性的, 要在主裡, 要在真理裡; 要孝敬父母。這是沒有條件性的。當甚父母提不出不合真理的要求, 我們可以拒絕但仍要尊敬, 我們的態度很重要； 末世有很多危險, 其中二樣是違背父母與無親情。求主救我們脫離這些危險, 作一個合神心意的兒女。

The Bible tells us that obeying our parents is conditional, but honoring them is absolute. When parents make demands that do not follow the truth, we may refuse them but we must continue to show respect. In this message, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung warns us of the dangers of disobeying our parents but more importantly, of growing cold and unloving towards them.

那推動搖籃的手, 也能推動整個世界。母親的力量是何等的大; 每一位母親都有一個從神而來偉大的托負, 要將無偽的信仰，屬靈的傳承與事奉的心志，用言教更用身教傳流下去。
