Tanglaw (audio devotional) from CBN Asia

Madalas, isa sa mga pinakamalaking tanong na bumabagabag sa isip ng marami ay ito: “Paano ba talaga ako maliligtas? Sapat na ba ang maniwala lang, o kailangan ko pa bang gumawa ng maraming kabutihan para maging karapat-dapat sa Diyos?” Maraming tao ang lumalaki sa ideya na ang kaligtasan ay parang isang timbangan — kung mas marami ang mabuting gawa mo kaysa sa masama, doon ka maliligtas. Pero toto...

Bakit ito kapangyarihan? Dahil ang gospel ang sagot ng Diyos sa problema ng kasalanan. Ang gospel ang mensahe ng Diyos para muling makalapit tayo sa Kanya. Ito ang magandang balita: Tayo ay nagkasala at hindi natin kayang iligtas ang ating sarili, kaya si Jesus ay namatay sa krus para bayaran ang ating mga kasalanan at  buhayin tayong muli All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com...

Madalas, naririnig natin ang tanong na, "Bakit ko kailangan ng pagliligtas? Hindi naman ako masamang tao. Ginagawa ko naman ang tama, at sinisikap kong maging mabait sa kapwa." At totoo, marami sa atin ang nagsisikap na mamuhay nang maayos, na may mabuting puso. Pero kung titingnan natin ang tanong na ito mula sa pananaw ng Diyos, makikita natin ang isang mas malalim na katotohanan.  All...

New season. New beginnings. A good future. A happy family. A healthy well-being. Ilan lamang iyan sa mga pinapangarap ng marami sa atin. Added to these, we might have a “bucket list” o mga bagay na gusto nating magawa bago tayo mamatay. These are the things — possessions or circumstances — that, we think,  will make our lives better.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give...

Naitanong mo na ba kung naririnig talaga ni Lord ang prayers mo? Bakit kaya ‘yung ibang tao, isang pray lang nila, may sagot agad? Why does it seem like God is giving you the silent treatment? Will He ever answer your prayers? All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Tulad ng kung paanong si Jesus Christ ay walang bahid ng kasalanan ngunit inako ang kaparusahan ng ating kasalanan sa krus upang matanggap natin ang forgiveness at reconciliation mula kay God. God also gave us the ministry of reconciliation through Christ Jesus. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Nagbabakasyon si Ninoy kasama ng kanyang best friend, si Jimmy, sa Bangkok for five days. One time, pumunta sila sa isang busy intersection malapit sa BKK Zoo. Maraming pedestrians ang naghihintay ng green light.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Iin life, we will face a lot of pressures na minsan mapapasabi ka ng “I give up!” or “Hindi ko na kaya, puwede bang tapusin na lang natin ito?” But remember, when facing pressures, whether these are troubles or challenges, you are not alone to deal with them yourself.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

We all go through times kung saan overwhelmed tayo sa mga problema at para bang kahit anong gawin natin, ayaw tayong tantanan ng mga ito. God is a great source of comfort and hope. Pero paano kung pakiramdam mo, hindi mo kayang lapitan si Lord?  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you went to great lengths to get it? You spent many sleepless nights kakaaral para pumasa sa board exam. Ginive-up mo ang maraming pagkain para maging healthy. Hindi ka gumastos for 6 months to buy your dream phone.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Iba’t ibang simula, sari-saring pinagmulan, nabago ang buhay dahil naging kaibigan nila si Jesus. Ikaw? Paano kayo nagtagpo ni Lord? Kung hindi pa, ready ka na ba?

It doesn’t matter whether you own a digital Bible or a physical one. What matters is your reliance on God’s Word and living it out. Applying what you learn from the Bible is something AI cannot do.   All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Ilang beses na ba tayong umiwas sa volunteer work hanggang “ma-voluntold” — 'yung na-assign kasi walang handang tumulong? Naiisip kasi nating mauubos ang ating oras. Gagastos tayo. O di kaya ay magpa-participate lang tayo kung may price tag — kailangang bayaran ang ating pagod. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

When we put our trust in Jesus, we will realize na maganda talaga ang plano Niya para sa atin. Kumusta ang plot ng buhay mo? Agree ka ba sa ginagawang storyline ng Great Scriptwriter? All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

We know that the Lord provides. But why is it that when we face a crisis, we rise from our praying knees to work in ways that are not pleasing to God, such as gambling?  Kadalasan tuloy, sabog ang buhay natin. Sira ang relasyon natin sa Diyos at sa ating kapwa.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Do you feel unqualified para gawin ang  inuutos ni God? Tandaan mo, God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. Ang kailangan lang Niya ay taong may willing heart, kaya kahit kabado ka, struggling to speak before a crowd, o wala kang confidence, puwede ka pa ring gamitin ni God!  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Isang beses lang binanggit si Susana sa New Testament. Hindi siya tulad ni Mary Magdalene, na pamilyar kahit sa mga hindi mahilig magbasa ng Biblia. O ni Juana, na malamang ay isang influential person noong panahon nila. Parang pahabol lang ang pagdagdag ng pangalan ni Susana sa Gospel ni Luke. Madali itong ma-miss, madaling makalimutan.

Natawag ka na bang quitter? Na-tag ka na bang mabilis mag-give up? Masakit marinig ito especially when other people mock your decision to stop and let go. Besides, this world gives out medals to those who persevere and pursue until they get to the finish line, not to those who quit.

Maybe today, you are carrying fear, regret, or anxiety. May pinagdadaanan ka bang mabigat, where peace feels far away?

Many of us go through seasons of Holy Saturdays in our lives, too. Minsan, the wait is too long, and we wonder if God would ever fulfill His promise. We sometimes wonder if God even listens o kaya naman ay kung may plano ba Siyang sagutin ang prayers natin. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show
