Opening

The sermon begins by addressing concerns about the state of the Philippines, suggesting that the solution lies not in governmental changes but in strengthening the family unit, which starts with the covenant between husband and wife. The speaker emphasizes the importance of the topic, stating that real change begins within relationships and that a healthy family structure can positively impact society. He shares a personal anecdote about losing his wedding ring and the subsequent realization of its significance as a symbol of covenant, commitment, and faithfulness.

The Character of God

This section explores the character of God as a foundation for understanding His commandments. It explains that the commandments reveal God's nature, such as His supremacy, incomparability, holiness, and sovereignty. The speaker uses examples like "no other gods" and "no idols" to illustrate God's unique position.

1. Deadly Disease: The Adultery Pandemic 2. Divine Cure: The Faithfulness of God

It stresses that marriage is a covenantal relationship invented by God between a male and a female, and deviating from this design is harmful. The speaker emphasizes the importance of loyalty to one's spouse, even over family ties, and highlights that marriage should lead to a unified direction and mission. God gives sex as a gift within marriage to fill the earth with His image. The speaker shares a personal story about God's provision for his children's education to illustrate God's faithfulness. He also addresses the issue of sex, clarifying that it is a wonderful gift within the covenant of marriage but can become destructive outside of it.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of honesty, faith in Jesus Christ, and commitment to living for Him. He prays for empowerment and guidance for the listeners to live according to God's will and to be a catalyst for change in the country.

Sunday Fast Track

This segment addresses common questions about adultery and relationships. It clarifies that adultery is not just about physical relationships but also about lustful thoughts and faithfulness to God. The speaker emphasizes that admiring beauty is not wrong, but satisfying lustful desires is. He advises listeners to transform their minds by focusing on what is precious to God and to avoid conforming to the world's standards.

Q1. Adultery na ba kapag tumingin sa kappa na may malisya?

The question is whether looking at someone with malicious intent constitutes adultery or cheating. The response clarifies that adultery, according to the Lord, occurs when one looks at a woman with lust, even without a relationship. The core issue is faithfulness to God, emphasizing that one's thoughts and mind should be aligned with God's principles. The Bible advises focusing on what is true, honorable, and pure, highlighting that faithfulness is primarily to God, irrespective of relationship status.

Q2. Ano ang mga praktikal na paran upang makaiwas sa adultery o cheating?

The question asks about practical ways to avoid adultery or cheating, especially when it's hard not to notice attractive qualities in others, even while being committed to one's spouse. The response acknowledges that admiring beauty is natural but warns against indulging in lustful thoughts. Drawing from Martin Luther's analogy, it's permissible for birds (thoughts) to fly over one's head, but one shouldn't allow them to build a nest. The key is not to let admiration lead to satisfying lustful desires, which constitutes betrayal of oneself and God, regardless of marital status.

Q3. Paano makakaalis sa adulterous na relasyon?

The question addresses how to break free from adulterous relationships in a culture where various compromises are becoming normalized. The response emphasizes not conforming to worldly standards but transforming one's mind through renewal, allowing God to guide the transformation. It advises feeding oneself with what is precious to God, as David did by treasuring God's word to avoid sin. The speaker notes that cultural norms change, but following God's ways is essential to avoid suffering. God's commandments are given to protect, and adultery is defined as anything outside the covenant relationship, which is harmful. The design of God is male and female in a covenant relationship, as exemplified by Adam and Eve, not alternatives like Adam and Steve or Madam and Eve, reinforcing that deviations from God's design are considered immorality and part of adultery.

0:00 Alam niyo po sa mga kaganapan ngayon parang nakakalito na at may kinabukasan pa ba ang bansang Pilipinas? Parang ang gulo-gulo. Pero alam po ninyo sa atin pong talakay ngayon mas meron pong mas importanteng bagay na hindi po yung issue ng mga sa gobyerno ang magpapaayos sa atin kundi ano yung basic unit ng society? Ang pamilya. At ang bawat pamilya meron po yang pinagmumulan ang mag-asawa. At sa bawat mag-asawa nagsisimula yan sa ating covenant. Kaya po 'yung talakayin natin napakaimportante kasi kung ang pamilya ang basic unit ng society ba dito magsisimula ang totoong pagbabago. Hindi sa labas hindi sa mga nasa leaders natin. Sisimulan natin sa ating mga relationship. Kapag ayos ito, tingnan

0:46 natin maaayos din ang ating kalalagayan. Kaya panoorin natin sama-sama at pakita natin ang pagpapalan ng Diyos para sa bawat isa sa atin. Praise God po. Pakibati naman niyo po 'yung katabi niyo ng pinagpalang gabi. Ayan. At ganun din po sa online pinagpalang araw kasi natin alam kung anong oras sila nakikinig ngayon. Kasi may mga ilan po na nakikinig sa ibang bansa at ang oras nila ngayon ay umaga. O 'di ba? So praise the Lord. Ngayon alam po ninyo ito pong ating talakayin sa napakahalaga po ito sa atin ngayon. Kasi kung mapapansin ninyo siguro naman ako for the past few ano na days na actually weeks na na talagang

1:34 nababagabag ako sa mga nakaganapan sa ating bansa. And sometimes I think naiisip ko may pag-asa pa ba kami? 'Di ba? Parang meron pa ba kaming aasahan? Kasi tumakbo na si Batman at Robin. So hindi ko na alam kung ano pang aasahan natin. Pasensya na kayo. Alam mo minsan dinadaan ko lang sa mga biro iyung mga frustration sa puso ko pag nakikita ko iyung mga ganong pangyayari. But I praise God because iyung topic natin somehow reminds us that our future is not dependent on the government, on the leadership, kahit anong failures nila doon. Kasi itong ating pag-uusapan has something to do with the basic unit of the society. At ang pillars nito ay ang tungkol sa vow and commitment ng bawat

2:19 mag-asawa. So kaya ho importante ong usapin na 'to. Simulan natin sa kwento na 'to. May isang lalaki na nawalan siya ng wedding ring habang nagtatrabaho sa labas at tumigil siya sa lahat ng kanyang ginagawa kasi desperado niyang hinahanap yon. Hinahanap niya sa putikhan, hinahanap niya sa damuhan, hinahanap niya sa lupa. Lahat ng pwede niyang hanapan. At may nagtanong sa kanya, "Ba't ka ba nagpa-panic sa para sa singsing lamang?" Sabi niya, "Hindi mo naintindihan. It is not just a rain. Ito ay sa gisag ng covenant o tipanan. Ito ay sa gisag ng isang pangako. Ito ay sa gisag ng katapatan. So itong ring na to ay napakahalaga. It reminds us to be

3:05 faithful. Naalala ko nga po nung ano tayo naman kasi hindi naman ho hindi kunyari pag nag-asawa ka parang ang sarap isipin no sa mga pag nagkakasal ako nakikita ko 'yun parang ang saya-saya nila magpalitan ng sumpaan eh no. Pero paglipas ng ilang tao, nagsusumpa na sila no'. Napansin niyo ba 'yun? So parang hindi siya ganun kadali. Parang kung inisip ninyo na kaya kahit ako nung unang taon ko sa nung nag-asawa kami ng asawa ko bagawat't napakaganda ng asawa ko. On our first two years hindi ko naman inaasahan na napakaselosa niya no. Hindi niyo naman siya masisi. Hindi. Tingnan niyo tingnan ni tingnan niyo 'yung tawa niyo. Parang insulto. Sinasabi niya wala siyang karapatang pagselosa. Nakakayaan 'to. Hindi hindi hindi. If kasi napakaabal ako noon.

3:51 Sobrang sobrang busy talaga ako. I thought by ministering parang busy ministering, reaching out to people eh yung asawa ko diyan lang yan. Ah parang you understand. Diyan ka lang and I will do the ministry. Without me knowing na ang first ministry ko dapat siya ' ba I would be his I would be her discipler. Ako dapat yung nag-aalaga sa kanya. Kanya lang hindi nga ganun ang nangyari pero alam niyo ba nung mga panahon na yon bumalik yung aking kahinaan. Pag ako nagagalit nakakasakit ako. Kaya lang hindi ko naman siya masuntok kasi kasi Christian ako eh. Parang hindi ko dapat ginagawa 'yun. So paglabas ko talagang naisip ko sinapak ko na lang 'yung pader. Pero sa may bumubulong wag wag

4:36 huwag ayan 'yung tunog na 'yun ang basag ng kamay. Hindi 'yung pader. Pero talagang nasaktan talaga ako. And nung nasaktan ako umiiyak ako. Sabi ko, "God, naglilingkod ako sayo. Bakit ganito yung ginagawa ng asawa ko sa akin? Baguhin mo na siya." Alam mo sabi niya, "Ikaw ang mali." Hindi siya. Ikaw ang magbago. Hindi mo kailangan ako ng bahala sa kanya. Pero ikaw magbago ka. Unawain mo saan ka nagkamali. So habang hinihimas ko 'yung kamay kong ganyan, nakita ko 'yung pagkabilog ng aking singsing. Walang simula, walang hangganan. Tayo lahat tayo may hangganan tayo sa ating pagmamahal. Kaya nga yung faithfulness natin minsan hindi ma-sustain yan. Kaya ngayon buti na lang nung naalala ko yun sabi ko, "Lord, dugtungan niyo po yung aking limitadong

5:23 pagmamahal ng iyong walang hanggang pag-ibig." And akala ko ganun lang kasimple ano ha. 'yun ang prayer ko ngayon. Ang plano ko nung time na 'yon hindi na ako papasok at hindi ako tatabi sa kanya kasi syempre galit ka nga eh. Biglang parang may bumubulong sayo. Pumasok ka na eh Lord galit ako. Ayokong tumabi sa kanya. Hindi mo pag-ibig pag-ibig ko sumunod ako ngayon humiga ako sa may paanan. Syempre ba kung may asawa kayo alam niyo to sa paanan ayaw mo siyang tabihan. And sabi Lord galit nga po ayoko po siyang tabihan na hindi pag-ibig ko to. Hindi mo pag-ibig. Tumiga ako sa tabi pero nakatalikod. Nakatalikod ' ba sabihin mo? Sabihin mo I love you. Eh nakatulog na yan. Nakaganyan siya. Nakatulog na yan. Sabi niya hindi tulog yan. Nakahanda lang

6:10 yan. Just in case naka-ready yan. Ngayon talagang I need to obey yung impressions na pumapasok sa isip ko. Kailangan kong sundin. Kasi sabi ko sa kanya I love you. Biglang sorry I'm not perfect. Hindi niya kinanta pero yun yung sinabi niya na I'm sorry. Doon ko na-realize na itong issue ng utos ng Diyos na ating pag-aaralan is something beyond us. Unless we allow the Holy Spirit and God himself to work in us, we cannot do this. Kaya nga po kung maalala ninyo itong sinabi niya ong sabi niya, "You shall not commit adultery." Nagsimula ito n sa verse 1. Sabi niya, "I am the Lord your God who delivered you from the

6:57 slavery in Egypt." na importanteng maintindihan natin yun na niligtas tayo ng Diyos and he wants us to understand na itong kaligtasan mo to by grace and you can also apply this by grace hindi to yung parang determinado ako aayusin ko na yung buhay ko. Hindi. We need to understand na hindi natin to kaya without his power. Ang problema natin sometimes we try to live the Christian life with our own strength. We were saved by his strength but we tried to sustain it by our own strength. Kaya hindi totoo yun kasi the grace of God gives us the power to say no to ungodliness. Kaya siya tutulong sa atin. Kaya when God commanded us not to commit adultery, he's actually protecting

7:43 something sacred. Yung isang napakasagrado. Hindi lang ito utos. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa romansa. Ito ay covenant faithfulness. Yungang ito ay tipanaan na merong katapatan. Kasi nabubuhay tayo sa mundo ngayon na ang daling baliin ng mga pangako. Ang daling ano parang hindi gawin yung pinapangako natin. Madaling mag-walk away, madaling magpalit, madaling ano sumuko. Kasi ang kultura natin pag sinabi niyang hindi na ako masaya eh. Alis na ako. Ganun na yung mundo ngayon eh. Ang dali pag napapanood niyo sa sa para ang dali lang iwanan niyo asawa, magpalit ng ng iba. Parang ang dali lahat. If my needs are unmit, I move on. Pag na hindi na natatagpuan para hindi na nami-meet 'yung mga pangailangan ko, aba,

8:28 magtutuloy na ako. Sa dami namang lalaki diyan, sabi ng iba, sa dami namang babae diyan. Bakit ba? 'Di ba? Yung iba naman dahil matindi ong nararamdaman ko, palagay ko tama to no? Matindi ung aking pagkagusto rito sa tao na 'to. Palagay ko tama 'to. Hindi hindi 'yung ating feelings. Hindi na magdidikta ng tama o mali. Ang totoo itong utos ng panginoong diyos is telling us that the very heart of our God na ang heart niya ito ay puso ng isang tapat na Diyos no kaya throughout the scripture makikita ninyo that our God is a God covenant keeping God yun talagang kung anong pinangako niya gagawin niya kaya po kahit na maligaw tayo,

9:15 hahabulin at hahanapin niya tayo. Kaya nakita ko 'yun sa parable ng lost sheep. Naalala ninyo that he was willing to leave the 99 just to pursue and seek for that lost ship. Ito pa. And even when people fail, God remains steadfast. Hindi siya nagbabago. Hindi nagbabago yung pagtingin sa'yo. When God saved you, when God saved us, hindi nagbago yung pagtingin niya. He will surely make sure that he will accomplish and perfect what he has started in you. Okay ba 'yan? Pakisabi mo sa katabi mo. Hindi ka susuko ng Diyos kahit natulog ka na. Hindi ka isusuko ni Lord. Kaya itong napakabanda tingan niyo sabi ng Deuteronomy. Know therefore that the Lord your God, he is God, the faithful

10:02 God who keeps his covenant and his loving kindness to a thousand generation with those who love him and keep his commandments. And this commandments teaches us something important. Alamin mo, tandaan mo na ang ating panginoong Diyos, siya ang iyong Diyos tapat at kanyang gaganapin ang kanyang tipanan sa'yo. Kung anong pinag pinagkangarako sayo. Kaya yung faithfulness ay matters because God himself is faithful. Kaya mahalaga sa Diyos ang ating katapatan sa isa't isa. Mahalaga sa Diyos yan kasi siya ay tapat na Diyos. At hindi lang yun, tingnan ninyo yung character ng Diyos sa lahat ng ating pag-aaral. Kaya ho yung law kung titingnan ninyo, it has something to do with how we how nothing to do with knowing God and at the same

10:49 time loving him. Kaya nga nung sinamaray si Jesus yan, sabi niya, "Ano ba yyung commandments?" "Love God with all of your heart, soul and mind." At tinulounoy niya kapag yan ay tama, pati iyung relationship mo sa tao, maaayos. Kaya nga likewise, love your neighbor as you love yourself. Kaya iyung command hindi lang iyan utos. It is showing us kung sino si God. Kaya kung mapapansin niyo, no other gods. In other words, our God is supreme. He is above all. Paano ka pa matatakot? Parang yes, my God is greater than all. At hindi lang, no idols, he is incomparable. Nothing in this world can represent him. Kasi para kung maghahanap ka ng magre-represent sa kanya, insulto sa kanya yon. Naunawaan. Kaya naman ang alalang Lord, hindi lang

11:36 'yun. Parang tipanaan niya. Ganito. Ako lang ang Diyos mo ha. Wala ka ng iba. Parang sa mag-asawa wala ka ng Kunyari kung ako 'yung lalaki. Wala ng ibang lalaki sa'yo kundi ako lamang. Kung ano naman, wala ng ibang babae sayo kundi ako lamang. Parang ganun sinasabi mo eh. And sabi niya at huwag mong bibigyan ng ibang larawan. Hindi yung yayakap ko sa ibang babae. Sabihin mo ikaw ang naaalala ko habang yakap ko siya. Hindi yun sabi hindi totoo yan. Hindi pupwede 'yan. And at the same time sabi niya, "Kaya naman binibigay ko sa'yo 'yung pangalan ko." Okay? Itong pangalan ko, ingatan mo ito. Kung ako'y kung meron akong ano, respetadong pangalan, you have to ano keep this respectable. Are you following? And huwag kang mag-alala, itong pangalan to so powerful. It has

12:22 strength. It has power. It has hope. 'Di ba? Parang ganito kunyari kung ako'y napakayamang tao, kailangan mo ng pera at sabihin natin isa ako sa may-ari ng isang bangko. Gamitin mo lang yung pangalan ko kung kailangan mo ng pera. O 'di ba? Kaya huwag mo lang gamitin to ng walang saysay. Yun ang sinasabi ng Diyos. And now niyo sabi ng Lord until now you haven't used my name. You haven't prayed in my name. Ask in my name that you will receive that your joy may be made complete. Minsan ang problema natin hindi natin talaga tinatayuan yung pangalan na yan. Panghawakan natin yung pangalan na iyan because that name is truly powerful. No, hindi lang yon parang wow you can rest kasi 6 days of work pero minsanisip natin agag hindi ako nagtrabaho anong

13:08 mangyayari bukas. Parang kakapusin kami. No, our God is sovereign. He is able to provide us our needs. Ba and honor your parents. He reminds us yang katangian na yan supreme incomparable holy as in sovereign. Remember this I am your father. Parang kung tatay mo halimbawa si Bill Gates mamomblema pa ba sa ikaw sa Microsoft? Hindi na. Kung tatay mo si halimbawa si Elon Musk, poproblemahin mo pa ba yung mga electric car na yan? 'Di ba? Baka anak mamili ka na anong gusto mo ' ba? Pag-isipan niyo mabuti kung ang tatay mo talagang wow wala akong kakatakutan. At

13:56 itong pinakamahalaga sabi niya do not murder. Bakit ito importante? Because our God desires you to live. Hindi. Ba't ako pinahirapan? Gusto mo ba akong patayin? Hindi. I want you to live. In fact, from the very beginning, do not eat this fruit for you shall surely die. The reason why I warned you because I don't want you to die. Kaya naman sabi ni Jesus, "The came to steal, kill and destroy. But I came to give you life and have it abundantly." ' ba yun ang hangad ng Diyos? Kaya nga anything sa buhay na nagsa-suggest sa iyong mamatay ka hindi galing sa Diyos yan. Okay tayo? Kaya tingnan niyo yung live basahin mo pabaliktad. Anong

14:41 mababasa mo? Evil. Okay tayo? Kaya kapag narinig mo pakamatay ka na ah hindi. Evil yan. Hindi galing kay God yan. Okay ngayon kung sabi mo papatayin ko na to ah hindi galing kay God diyan kasi papatayin mo eh ba eh paano kung hindi ko sinasadya selfdeens hindi mo gustong pumatay na kataon lang naintindihan kaya hindi yun kasali dito eh paano kung ano kung sundalo ako kailangan pumatay ah duty mo yan hindi yun pagpatay kaya mo lang pumatay dahil kailangan mo ipagtanggol ang iyong bayan are you following so ang ang issue dito sinasabi pahalagahan mo yung buhay So anong gustong mangyari? Tingan niyo katabi niyo. Tingan niyo yan. Yang

15:27 katabi mo tratuhin mo ng maayos yan kasi that person is created in the image of God. O gusto niyo mas malapit na applikasyon? Sa bible sabi ng bible mga babae. Sino mga asawa dito? May asawa babae. Mga babae sabi niya magpasakop ka sa iyong mga asawa gaya ng pagpapasakop niyo kay Jesus Christ. Oh pinag-isipan niyo mabuti. Halimbawa yung asawa mo lumapit sayo sweetard gawa mo naman ako ng kape. Oh ano ka pa naman kikita mo dahil ginagawa eh. Ako ba uutusan mo? Ikaw na tanda-tanda mo na eh. ' Ba minsan ganun ang ginagawa kong naglalaba na nga ako naglhuhugas pa ang plata ts ng kape. 'Di ba nangyayari 'yan eh. Eh isipin mo kung si Jesus 'yung nag-request

16:13 'di ba? Sabihin niya ah pakagawa mo naman ako ng kape. Hindi sa mo sabihin naman si God eh. Ang dami kong ginagawa eh. Hindi mo magagawa kasi God yan eh. Dapat ang sagot mo pa nga ano ganon. Ah ah Lord anong gusto niyo? Cappuccino, Makato Americano. Biglang nagtanong ka ba kung anong klase gusto niyo ng biscoti? ' Ba may kasama biscoti 'di ba? Kasi nga you are doing that for the Lord. Ngayon ganun din sa mga lalaki. Mahalin mo ang iyong asawa gaya ng pagmamahal ni Kristo na katulad ng pagmamahal mo sa iyong sarili. So obviously you are to serve kasi ang pagmamahal is to give. Kaya sabi ng Bible ang murderer they ano they yung mga those who hate their brothers are murderers. Kaya yung mga murderers they take life. Ang pagmamahal ng Diyos is to

17:00 give life. Kaya naalala ko sinasabi nila, "You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving." Tama? So you give kasi yun ang idea ng Diyos. Kaya nga for God to love the world that he gave. Ngayon isipin niyo ngayon na you are to treat the person as if you're doing that to the Lord. Kasi he is created in the image of God. Papaano mo siya kakausapin? Papaano mo siya tatratuhin? Papahalagahan mo siya ngayon. And that is exactly the commandment is all about. Eh bakit yan konektado doon? Pansin niyo ba kasunod niya yyung honor your parents? Because yung reward sa pag-onoring the parents, ano iyon? You will have a long life. T's puputulin mo kaya thou shall not murder.

17:45 Naintindihan? Now kung naintindihan natin yung law na yan, yung th shall not murder. Kung naintindihan natin we are to value life, naku pahalagahan natin ang bawat pangako nating binibigay sa tao na kinakausap natin. Tama ba? Kaya sabi ng Bible, "Do not commit adultery. God is faithful." So it's more than just about adultery physically. It is about how we value our vows before God and before men. Kasi nung kinasal ka, it is a covenant. Covenant vow yan before the Lord. At nung kinasal ka, kaya kung dadayain mo yung asawa mo, hindi mo dinadaya yung asawa mo. Nagkakasala tayo sa Diyos na kung saan doon tayo nangako. Nointindihan? Kaya ang mga kinakasal

18:32 kung ano-anong pinangapanga ko eh. Kalabitin mo lang ako. Nandiyan na ako. Tigilan mo ako. Hindi mo kakayanin. Mawawalan ka ng energy. Yung mga pangakong ganon, huwag mong ibibigay dahil hindi mo hawak ang bit. ' ba yung pangakong kaya mo lang. Hindi yung lahat. Hindi ganon. K. Be realistic kasi ganun ang ibig sabihin ng pagpapahalaga sa buhay ng ibang tao. Whatever promise you made to anybody kahit hindi mo asawa minsan kahit mahirap you have to do it because you value the life's person. Naintindihan? Kaya nga ho ito ang amazing part. Tingnan niyo kaya yung lahat ng itong character na 'to, yung ating proper response, kahit saan bagay, nagtatrabaho

19:18 tayo, nag-aaral tayo, we are expressing worship to God because it is our proper response. Anong tamang response? If God is supreme, then you have no other gods. If God is ano uh incomparable, then don't ever dare to get something else to be God. Talagang yun ang proper response sa atin eh. Sorry ha. May may sumasabit na ano eh yung kinain kong steak. Hindi joke lang. Joke lang ba has done and what he continues to do. And this is something beautiful. Itong worship na to is not just a one time thing to know God. It is a continuous personal experience what he has done and

20:04 what he continues to do. Kaya maraming tao they never understood real worship because they thought it's a ritual. No, it's a personal encounter with the Lord that you're continuously experiencing him and continuously having personal relationship with him. May kakintindihan? So yan po tayo ngayon. So kaya ang ating tatalakayin is no adultery, be faithful. Why? Because God is faithful. May dalawang bagay tayong dapat titignan. Una, the deadly disease. Itong itong adultery na ito, it's a pandemic na grabeng deadly ito. Bakit deadly? This virus is somehow a form of

20:50 unfaithfulness that rejects God's covenant design. Kasi merong dinesign ang Diyos eh for our good. Kasi sabi ng Bible, it is not good for a man to be alone. So when he created the family, merong unang munang pillar yan. Ano yung pillars niyan? The relationship between husband and the wife. Nagkakaintindihan? So sabi niya eh pag ni-reject mo yung design na yan, sakit yan. Sakit yan at hindi basta sikat. Sakit. A deadly disease. Hindi lang 'yun. Buti na lang ang Diyos hindi ho siya iniwan na lang tayo. Bahala na kayo mamatay na kayo diyan. Hindi. He gives us a divine cure. Not just we need to acknowledge the faithfulness of God but Christ himself

21:37 restores us to faithfulness. Kasi hindi natin kayang bumalik. Okay? So pag-aralan tayo isa-isa. Deadly disease unfaithfulness rejects God's covenant design. Now napansin po ninyo ang design ng Diyos. Unang-una, nung sinabi niyang do not commit adultery, it's very clear that it has something to do with our covenantal relationship. Meron tayong binitiwang tipanan. At similar to doun sa tipanan ng Diyos sa Israelita at sa bawat isa sa atin, ganun din yung picture na yan. Kaya yung picture ng relationship natin kayagad, parang picture ng mag-asawa. No? Kaya tingnan niyo po ang kung gaano kahalaga itong bagay na ito. Sabi ng Bible, itong

22:22 tipanaan na to may basic design. Sabi niya, he answered and said, "Have you not read that he created them from the beginning made them what? Male and female." So the idea of this covenant relationship since God invented merits which is the pillar of the family and the family is the basic unit of the society. Pag ito naayos walang okay lang yang senado na yan. Susunod na 'yan bandang huli kasi mamamatay din naman sila eh 'di ba? Hindi hindi hindi what I'm saying talagang yung next generation will fix it. Tama ako mamamatay din naman ako. Patapos na rin naman tayo. Pero ang punto ko parang as we make sure na yung pamilya natin ayos pero hindi maayos yan kung yung mag-asawa hindi

23:08 ayos. Crucial yung mag-asawa kasi yun ang pillar eh. Kaya pag ito ayos tuloy-tuloy na 'yan. At yung covenant na yan, hindi natin inimbento yan. It is not a social contract. It is invented by God. It is a covenant between male and female. Kasi ngayon sinisira nila yung concept ng pamilya eh. Akala nila ang relationship between male and male, female and female. Hindi ganon. Sa simula pa lang kung naalala niyo si Adan at si Eva 'di ba? Hindi naman sinabing madam at Eve e. Ive ' ba? Hindi sinabing Adam and Steve. Talagang maliwanag Adam and Eve. At hindi lang 'yun ngayon kahit sino pa talagang marami kaya hindi sinabi ni Lord ay Adam ay si Adan at si Eva iba hindi ganon isa lang

23:56 nasusundan parang malungkot na kayo. Kaya sinasabi ng Diyos teka teka teka ito yung pinaka tingnan niyo ha and for this reason a man shall live his father and mother and be joined to his wife. God is saying this is something a test of loyalty. Ang pinaka iyung closest relationship that we have prior to getting married is our relationship with our parents. Tama? Sabi niya iiwan mo na iyan. So never allow your in-laws to interfere your relationship na para maging maayos. Nakuha kasi they need to release you to the Lord and have your own life na malaya kayong gagawin para sa purpose ng Diyos. Katingnan niyo. And they shall become one flesh. Ibig

24:42 sabihin darho na kayo ng direksyon. Hindi na kanya-kanya. Hindi na kayo binatak. Kaya pag kinakasal naalala niyo may mga kandila. 'Yung bawat kandila na yan sa gis ng pagiging binata, dalaga t's may kandila sa gitna pinapatay yung kandilang dalawang yon na sumasagisag ng pagiging binata't dalaga. Sisindihan yung kandila sa gitna kasi hindi na sila dalawa. Isa na lamang. Kaya pagpatay nila yan patay na ang maliligayang araw nila. bilang binata't dalaga dahil may panibago silang kaligayahang haharapin naunawaan at this time they had to go towards the same direction kasi ang hirap non paano kayo magiging isa kung hindi kayo pareho ng direksyon kaya importante yung misyon kundi walang misyon yung lalo na yung lalaki ay k misyon yan kaya kung may misyon yung

25:29 lalaki may misyon yung babae pareho sila ng misyon go pero kung magkaiba kayo ng misyon wala ako gulo yan kaya dapat parehoo kay sabi nga ni Antoan dezon Love is not gazing at its other it is looking towards the same direction kaya nga sila God din ayaw niya rin ng for for us to be equally yok with unbelievers. Bakit? Magkaibang direksyon hindi parehas e bakit ba nagiging Christian? Hindi yun kumbaga by principle hindi yung exemption o kaya sa mercy at grace ng Diyos naging Christian praise God if that happens. Pero hindi 'yun guaranteed. Naunawaan natin kaya dapat sumunod tayo sa panginoong Diyos. Kareh tayo ng direksyon. Ang direksyon natin is to glorify God. Hindi 'yung kanya-kanya

26:15 tayong Diyos na sinusundan. Kaya ho 'yung covenant na yan, importante yan. And some Christians, they would even claim eh sabi ni Lord siya daw eh. Excuse me. God will never instruct you to go against his own words. Kaya alam mo, kaya kung hindi mo alam 'yung word ni God, obviously iniisip mo, makukumbinse mo 'yung sarili mo na tama ka. Pero in reality, may tama ka. Maliwanag? Kaya ito na naman tayo. So sabi niya, tingnan niyo ha. So since you have one direction, they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together. Let no man separate. Wala kang karapatang sirain yan. Kaya kung wala kang karapatang sira, anong gagawin ko?

27:02 Abay pagandahin mo. There are no perfect relationships but you can make it beautiful. Ba lahat tayo may adjustment na ginagawa. Naalala ko noong time kami, nung bago kami, ang aga kong maagang maglising asawa ko. Ako naman napaka maaga akong matulog. Ibig sabihin umaga na ako natutulog kasi nag-aaral ako sa gabi. Naku ang hirap pala dahil pag natulog na ako, saka naman ay ang babae masisipag ha. Kamay, paa, bibig sabay-sabay 'yan. So hindi ka makaka talaga. Ang problema sabi ko anong gagawin ko daw makatulog? Minsan gusto mo, ano ba to? Gusto ko ng awayan. Bakit hindi ito na wala ba onong galang sa mga natutulog? Hindi eh. Mamimili ka. If you

27:48 are together forever for the rest of your life, do you want to be together miserably or happily? So ikaw magdedesisyon. Tama? So hindi ako gagawa na magiging miserable yung aming relationship kasi wala akong kakasama ko na to for the rest of my life eh. No one can separate. Kaya inisip ko, "Paano kayo makakatulog? Gawin ko na lang musika 'yung kanyang mga salita." Sige na kayo maglinis na kayo. Kailangan natin to. It pwede masyadong rap. So ano na lang sabi ng Lord matulog ka kasabay niya. Mag-aral ka na lang habang ano mas maganda. Nakuha you have to adjust. Kaya the moment you get married tandaan mo to. You're already dead.

28:35 You die to yourself you are now alive to a new life this time with your spouse. So gustoy gusto niyong mag-asawa? Enjoy. Bakit? Gusto rin naman ng Diyos yan eh. Kasi nga dinesign niya yan. Ngayon may blessing pa si God. God gave us sex as is God's design. Yang sex na yan, gift ng Diyos yan. Hindi masama 'yan. Bakit? Tingnan niyo ang sabi ng Lord. God created man in his own image. In the image of God, he created him. male and female. He created them mo God blessed them and God said to them be fruitful

29:21 and multiply and fill the earth. Bakit gusto ng Diyos dumami tayo? He wants the whole earth to be filled with his image. 'Di ba? Punuin mo yung buong mundo ng imahin ko. Yun ang sinasabi niya. Kaya magpakarami kayo. Ang malungkot ngayon hindi na naintindihan ng mga mag-asawa 'yan. Akala nila 'yung sex mag-enjoy lang. Hindi. Magpakarami kayo. H'wag kayong magpakarami ng aso. 'Yung iba aso na lang inaalagaan. Mas mabuti pa ang aso kaysa sa tao. Ano ka ba? Gusto ng Diyos dumami. Along paparamihin natin mga demonyo. Huwag paramihin natin ang mga matutuwid na tao eh. Pastor hindi mo naintindihan? Ang hirap kaya. Kaya kung inisip mo yung hirap, selfish ka kasi you're not obeying God. Kasi yung hirap na 'yan,

30:08 ano 'yan? 'Yan ay relative. Depende 'yan kung papaano mo titignan 'yung hirap. Kasi sa totoo lang kami siaming magkakapatid mahirap lang din kami. Pero sa awa ng Diyos lahat kami professional 'di ba? Ngayon ako ayaw ko ng marami naisip ko mga dalawa lang, tatlo lang. Sabi ng Lord, "Ano ka ba? Kaya nagulat ako, binigyan ako ng kambal sa dulo, naging apat. Wala kaming lahi." Sabi ko, "Lord, ba't ang dami? Hirap na hirap na nga ako sa dalawa eh." Taposin mo panganay ko tapos apat na taon ang hinintay. Nagtitiis kami. Bilang kami ng bilang bilang ng bilang biglang nabuntis. Isang taon at kalahati lang manganganak na at kambal pa.

30:54 Umiyak talaga ako n nabalitaan kong kambal. Sabi ko, "Bakit hindi ako nagbibiro." Sabi niya, "Hindi rin ako nagbibiro. Tuwang-tuwa pa siya." Sabi ko, "Panginoon Diyos, ano ko kukuha? Galit ka ba sa akin?" Sabi ko, "Paano ko pa kainin ong kambal na 'to?" Sabi ng Sabi ng Lord, "Hindi mo siya anak." Ha? Anak ko siya. Ibig sabihin, ako magpapakain diyan. Ako magpo-provide diyan. Dahil alam niyo yung bunso ko nung nagtapos biglang ito iyak ako ng iyak. Nagtapos ng doktor. Papaano yan? Napa? Kaya n sabi ko grabe naman. Paano napatapos ito ng isang tricycle driver noon na ito kekwento ko sa inyo ha para makita niyo na ang Diyos pagka sinabi niya susuporta niya because he is faithful. Amen. Sabi nung anak ko

31:41 pagkataas yung pag-graduate sabi niya pa, magdodoktor po ako. Sabi ko, will ni Lord? Opo. Pinag-pray ko pong mabuti. Okay. Bill ni Lord. Bahala siya sayo. Hindi ko kaya pero the Lord will take care of everything. Nagkaroon siya ng scholarship. Nag-enroll kasi kumla degraduate naman siya eh. So pag-enroll niya, naku libre nga. Pero nung nakita ko hindi lang nagsusunog ng kilay. Pati bunbunan. Pati bunbunan ko dinadamay. Parang hindi tama 'to kasi nakikita ko parang madudoktor 'to. Hindi to magiging doktor eh. Sabi ko, "Lord, bigyan mo naman po siya ng scholarship na hindi naman nakasalalay sa grado kasi ako pa rin nagi-gilty dahil parang ako yung

32:28 tatay na iresponsableeng hindi ko siya mapaaral." Pwede po ba bigyan mo siya ng scholarship na ayon sa misyon at tawag na binigay mo? Hindi dahil sa ano lamang yung parang sipag lang niya parang sariling kayod pa rin. Sabi ko pray ako ng pray pero mo may lumapit mag-asawa walang anak. Sabi ba naman past nangangarap po kaming mag makapagpatapos ng doktor. Sa lahat ng tatanungin ako pa para sa Yes pero kailangan ano ah desente pa rin ako ah ganun ba sabi niya sabi niya eh dahil nasa uplip ako. Sabi niya sige po ihahanap ko po kayo ng mga mga nangangailangan. T's biglang syempre ako nagtatanong sa Lord sana i-follow up niya. Nak nas kayo

33:16 wala ba kayong anak na magdo-doktor? A naka eh. Pero syempre kailangan kalmado ka lang. Kailangan ano yung pastor ng dating. Hindi mukhang pera agad. Ba sabi ko ganon. Alam mo ay hindi ganito na lang. Kausapin niyo yung anak ko kasi ayoko naman i-commit siya kasi baka mamaya may requirements kayo na hindi niya kaya. Unfair naman sa ano ko. Parang binenta ko ' ba. Sabi ko, "Mag-usap na lang kayo." So, nag-usap sila. Pagbalik pa ano, walang strings attached. Talaga? Binigay na nga yung cheeke, dalawang milyon eh. Wow. Bili natin ng kotse ba? Teka teka hindi pa tapos ako naman sabi ko teka teka balik mo balik mo.

34:03 Bakit? Kasi unang-una negosyante yan. Yang pera na yan kaya pa nilang paramihin. Be good to tayo. Matulog lang yan sa atin. Sayang ang pera. Money is meant for circulation. So mabuti pa ibalik mo. Sasabihin mo pag magtuition fee na lang saka na lang ibigay. Ba? So yun ang nangyari. And of course the rest is history. She graduated from ano sa from medical ano parang medicine ngayon nagre-residente na siya. So what I'm trying to say is this. Our God will surely be faithful to accomplish what he has started. Naintindihan? So importante yun. Kaya sa isip natin minsan ayaw nating mag-anak. Alam niyo ba ang Britanya ngayon

34:49 nagkakaproblema sila? Because they're being conquered by the Muslims for the long ano sa in history. Daming taon na lumipas. Hindi nila ma-conquer ang British Empire. Natalo ang Ottoman Empire. But today, even without a single bullet, nasasakop nila ang Britanya. Why? Biological ano addition. Padami sila ng padami biologically. Hindi sila natatakot. Kaya ngayon pati New York damay na. Pati New York Muslim na rin. Walang single bullet. Bakit? Because itong mga to nagtitiwala sila. Samantalang tayong Christian na dapat totoo, nagpaparami ng mga mananampalataya, tayo ang mga takot. Hello. Andiyan pa kayo?

35:36 Kaya kung kayo mag-asawa, remember this. God has given you the gift. Huwag niyong isipin na saka na hindi sumunod ka sa Diyos. Gift ng Diyos yun. Kaya sabi ng Bible, "Marriage is to be held in honor among all. And the marriage bet is to be undefiled. Yang covenant na yan, yang sex na yan is within the covenant marriage, covenant agreement. At sabon, kaya yyung fornicators, adulterers, God will judge. Yung outside that covenant ayaw ng Diyos. That's considered immorality and part of adultery. Kaya sabi ni si God binigyan niya tayo ng regalo. Napakaganda niyan. Sex is so beautiful. Sex is so sacred. covenant life giviving

36:23 pero within the covenant agreement the covenant design of god kaya tingnan niyo papakita ko sa inyo nung in-explain ni god yung thou shall not commit adultery in leviticus tingnan niyo ha then the lord spoke to moses saying you shall also say to the sons of sino nagsabi sino nagsabi kay moses si lord so hindi ito isip Isip lang natin si Lord mismo nagsabi o suban natin. If there is a man who commits adultery with another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his friend's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. Napansin niyo? Because yung yung wife ng kaibigan mo meron siyang covenant doon.

37:10 Hindi ikaw eh kinuha mo it's outside the covenant na. Kaya sabi niya, it's an adultery. Then sabi niya, "And if there's a man who lies with his father's wife, obviously yung covenant is with his father's wife. Kaya sabi niya, he has uncovered his father's nakedness, both of them shall surely be put to death." Lahat ng issue ng adultery pinapatay. Kaya kung yan ay totoo sa atin, ubos ang Pilipino na may asawa. Ah, naintindihan? Baka iba pa nga hindi pa kasal, patay na. Kaya dito ang bigat nito tiny natin. If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, obviously the daughter-in-law is with a covenant agreement with whom? With the with their son ba eh both of them shall surely be

37:55 put to death. They have committed incest. Now if there is a man who lies with a male and those who lie with a woman. Oh hindi ako nagsabi nito ha. Si God. Kaya kung gusto niyong magalit kay God, huwag sa akin. Naintindihan? Bakit naman male sinama diyan? Kasi yung covenant is between male and female. Eh kapag ginawa mo yan between man and with a woman ay with a man ay it's not within the covenant agreement or covenant design. Tama? Ngayon dinagdagan pa kasi ang word niya dito both of them have committed a detestable act. Marami pa ngayon nag-e-explain ng mga passages like umali ang context hindi niyo binasa. Huwag na tayong mag-context context. Tingnan na lang

38:40 natin yung unchangeable character ng Diyos at ano sinabi niya. Para basahin natin yung mga context context na yan from that context from the very heart of God. Nauunawaan kasi design niya yun eh. Hindi niya babaguhin yung design na yon kasi gusto niyang magpakarami tayo to fill the earth with this image. Okay tayo no? Uulitin ko ha. Huwag kayong magalit sa akin. Si Lord na lang awayin niyo. Okay? So tuloy tayo. So sabi ngon if there is a man who marries a woman and her mother is immorality. Grabe naman. Dalawa-dalawa yung covenant mo. Nanay at anak pa. Ano yan? Package deal. Buy one take one. Hindi. Sabi niya yan din dapat they would be burned with fire no? Hindi pa natapos doon. If there is a man who lies with animal pati hayop

39:28 for love. Ano iyun? Sabi niya, "Shall be put to death. You shall also kill the animal. And if there is a woman who approaches any animal to meet with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal." Ang lupit. Sabi ko, parang noon hindi ko ma-imagine. Pero ngayon naisip ko, "Oo nga no, saan ba galing yung HIV?" ' Ba galing sa unggo 'yun? Paano nakapunta sa tao 'yun? Baka ganito nangyari. Tama. Hindi ko alam. Baka ganyan lang. Tanong na lang 'yung unggoy kung na-repe siya. So ang punto ko ganito. There is nothing wrong with sex. The problem is sin. Are you following? Ang problema hindi naman yung sex eh. Ang problema yung

40:13 kasalanan. Kasi ang kultura natin minsan may dalawang pagkakamali. Some we worship sex. Wala ng ibang ginawa kundi lahat na lang. Sex. Sex. Kanta. Sex. Sex. Sex. Parang ano ba 'yan? Yung iba naman they shame sex. Par kumbaga sa Bible hindi na hindi sinasabing i-worship mo 'yung sex na parang 'yun ang buhay mo na you have to satisfy your lastful desires. Pero yung iba naman sobrang tingin takot naman sa sex din-demonize naman nila. Basta within the inside the covenant sex is wonderful. It's a gift of God. Nagkakaintindihan? But beyond that ayaw ni Lord. Now kaya nung sinabi ng Lord do not do you shall not commit adultery. Pinapakita ni God na we need to be

40:59 faithful kasi the Lord's loving kindness indeed never cease for his compassion never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Alam ho ninyo hindi naman lagi tayong excited sa partner natin. Okay? Let's be honest. Hindi naman laging oh I'm so in love with you mga ganyan. Hindi naman ganun talaga eh. Minsan minsan gusto mo siyang kainin sa sobrang pagmamahal mo at minsan sana nakain mo na parang gann ba naintindihan niyo ibig sabihin? So we need a continuous renewal of such faithfulness that comes from God. Nagkakaintindihan tayo? We need that. Kaya it must be renewed every morning. It's only by the grace of the Lord.

41:46 Subukan niyo lang halimbawa ' ba huwag kayong magpapaniwala sa pelikula ' ba pag hinalikan mo sa matutulog na kayo hinalikan mo good night subukan mo sa umaga paggising halik mo ulit imbornal parang saan galing yan eh yun ang realidad ng buhay kay yung mga sa pelikula nag-ahalikan paggising kalokohan yun ang baho kaya noun kung hindi nagsipilyo muna Kung hindi kayo wala kayong asawa huwag niyo ng huwag niyo ng pangarapin. 'Yun lang sa mga asawa alam nila 'to. Alam nila 'to kung wala kang asawa subukan mo na lang paggising mo mahimatay ka ulit matutulog ka ulit no malalaman mo kaya h'wag ka naman mag kunwari alam natin lahat yan kaya ang

42:32 idea ng Diyos we need God's faithfulness to be upon us kasi faithfulness is not merely a rule God invented. Faithfulness reflects who God is. And God does not merely make covenants. He keeps it. He keeps covenants. Kaya napakaimportante kaya ang merits ay refleksyon ng covenant keeping faithfulness ng Diyos. Kaya ngayon kanta natin y let me declare you are faithful. 'Di ba? Let me declare you are faithful. Kasi yun ay pahayag. Yung buhay asawa kapahayagan yan. Kaya tingnan niyo ha. Sabi sa Ephesians, "When Paul discuss about marriage, about the roles of the husband, roles of the wife sa marriage, anong sabi niya sa ending, "For this reason, a man shall

43:18 leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife and the two shall become one place." The mystery is great, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. Ba? Oh, kanina lang iyung mag-asawa eh. But I'm talking about Christ and the church. Kasi the marriage is a picture of Christ love to the church. Kaya yung pagmamahal na yan ang isip niya forever. Kahit tingnan niyo, meron bang dito kinasal ang kanta niyo ganito. On this day I promise 2 years. On this day no meron bang ganon? Wala. Anong kanta natin? On this day I promise forever. Kasi yun ang hangad ng Diyos.

44:04 Kaya Satan will do everything to destroy marriages. Bakit? Para masira yung picture ng unconditional love ni Jesus Christ sa church. Kasi sirain niya 'yan. At huwag tayong makiisa sa kanya. Huwag tayong huwag natin siyang suportahan. If we are God's friend and we belong to his family, let us not support the agenda of the enemy. Ang agenda niya is to destroy marriages. Ilaban natin. Ang deception ganito. Ang deception sa panahon natin ganito. The root of sexual sin is worship disorder. When pleasure becomes God, syempre iyung pleasure ang hinahagab mo habol mo. Then desire becomes master. Ito malungkot. People

44:51 become products. Kaya ang sabi ng Lord, warning ko sa inyo, because they exchange the truth of God for a lie and worship and serve the creature rather than the creator who is blessed forever and amen. Alam niyo correcto niyan? He gave them over to the last of their last of their heart. Kaya sabi niya, "Wow, nakakatakot naman to." Kaya alam niyo ho mag-ingat ho tayo. Actually sa Ecclesiast sabi ng Lord may mga babae na talagang patibong at yung mga tuwid maliligtas dito pero ang mga liko mahuhulog dito. And if we are pleasing to God for sure he will always protect us. Are you following? Kaya ikaw

45:37 hinayaan ka tuwangtuwa ka pa nalalaglag ka kabahan ka kasi it only shows na hinayaan ka ni God. at ayaw nating mangyari yon. Nagkakaintindihan tayo now. Kaya naman sabi ng Panginoon ay kaya sorry kaya naman sinasabi ko na ito na isulat ko na to na sex is a wonderful gift but a terrible God for sure kawawa tayo. Kaya ang totoo niyan, ang ating buhay youn pong issue ng adultery hindi iyan physical it is more of spiritual. Kating sabi ng Bible you adulteresses. Kaya adulteresses yan. Because we are the bride of Christ. Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Can you imagine? Ano ba yyung world? Yung world is a system.

46:24 Iung world is like what John described. Last of the flesh, last of the eye, the pride of life. Hindi niyo ba napansin? Minsan ang desisyon natinung ano yung masarap sa katawan. Ano yung masaganda sa mata? Ano yung nakakayabang? Kaya may mga nag-uusap, pare ko nadadaya ako. Asawa ko, hindi niya ako nahuhuli. Wais kaya to? Nagyayabang pa na hindi nila alam kaaway ka ng Diyos. Hindi mo naintindihan. Kasi therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world make himself an enemy of God. Kaya dito he's talking about what? Divided loyalty. A heart that belongs to God. yet keeps running after other love lovers. Kaya ho ito ang sabi ni Timothy

47:10 Keller, maaring sa puso natin wala na ho hindi ako naga-adultery pero in reality yung puso natin malayo na sa Diyos kasi hati yung ating loyalty. Kaya para siyang idol is anything so central and essential to your life that should you lose it, your life would feel hardly worth living. May mga tao ang kanilang diyos-iyosan, kanilang mga anak, huwag lang mangyari to sa anak ko. Pag nangyari to, ayaw na kay God. Iba naman magulang. Pag nawala ong magulang ko wala na akong saysay. Magpapakamatay na ako. Iba naman trabaho. I say our work does not define us. Wala kang trabaho. Gumawa kang trabaho. Ang Diyos ang daming papagawa sa atin 'di ba? Kaya napakaimportante sabi ng Lord, it can be a family, a children or career, making

47:57 money, achievement, certain acclaim, saving face or reputation. social standing. It can be a romantic relationship, peer approval. Sa palagay niyo yung mga desisyon sa sa Congress, sa senado, anong nakikita ninyo? Huwag na nating pag-usapan. Ang hirap. It can be a romantic relationship, peer approval, competence and skill, secure and comfortable circumstances, your beauty, your brains, a great political social cause, your morality and virtue at ito pangkakagulat even success in the Christian ministry. Ala ko ho during my ministry days sa ibang ministry I was enjoying God's goodness until the

48:43 Lord took me out of that ministry. Sa isip ko, Lord, ganito lang ba yun? And do ko na-realize sino ba talaga ang nagde-define ng buhay mo? Ministry o ako? Will you continue loving me with or without the ministry? Oo nga no. Naku ha. Oo nga no. Parang doun mo mare-realize kung sino talaga importante sa'yo. ' Ba sometimes the challenge is between your friend and God. Minsan the challenge between your relationship yung iba ipaglalaban yun patayan kahit na alam nilang ayaw ni God. Nakuha. Kaya physical adultery often begins with spiritual adultery.

49:28 Kaya pwedeng success, become our idol. pleasure career entertainment approval, relationships, secret desires. Kahit nga ngayon nakakagulat, makikipagpatayan pa sila para sa kanilang politiko. Parang ano ba yan ba magbibigay sa atin ng kinabukasan? Hindi tingnan ninyo pare-parehong apelyido mula pa noon. Nagbago ba yung bansa natin? Wala sa kanilang sagot. Kaya ini ko sana magoto naman tayo ng ibang apelido. Ano apelido mo kuya ha? Tapasyo. Tapaso. Tama ha. Ah kapaso yan ang boto natin. Kapasyo naman. Hindi pare-parehas na lang ' ba. Toos maasa

50:14 tayong magbabago bansa ' ba. Pilihin naman natin ung mga katotohanan 'di ba? 'Yung may kapasidad kaya kapaso hindi siya tumatakbo ah baka ma-misinterpret ninyo. Hindi ka tumatakbo no? Hindi ibig sabihin naku pagpilian naman natin ng may objectivity naman. Hindi non parang kasi apelido na yan grabe it resonates to me. Huwag ng ganon kasi love says I give myself for you but last says I use you for me. Ba may isang meron nga isang babae nagsabi ng ganito eh alam mo sweetheart pinakasalan kita sabi niya for better or for worse hindi for lunch and dinner. Sabi ko, grabe naman to. Parang parang ayoko ng ganon. Basta gusto ko lang yung

51:00 hindi ganon. When we committed ourselves talagang sinabi na natin na ako sayo I am giving my whole life to you. As I've said once you get married you're dead forget about yourself ba kung gusto niyong maging kayaung yung covenant na to yung relationship bag ito dapat faithfulness it's not sustained by feelings. It is sustained by our commitment. to the covenant ba and I'm telling you hindi nakakatuwa kaya nung kinasal kami nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos kasi ang ginamit nung pastor ay yung wedding at kan doun sa wedding at kana merong vino nagkaubusan kasi kahihian yun nung magkaubusan ng

51:47 vin ngayon ang ginawa ni jesus he turned the water into win ang kanilang karanasan kasi mga araw ang binibilang p nagce-celebrate eh ang kanilang karanasan yung best wine is being served at the beginning Kasi sa kanilang isip ang buhay magasawa masaya sa simula. 'Yung tipong pag bagong asawa upo pasok ka na nak nagmumukas ang pinto tapos pag naglalakad hawak talaga inaalala n talaga alalay na alalay tapos pagka ano pa pag uupo pa upo ka na next t yung babae naman yes tuwang-tuwa naman siya pero paglipas ng ilang taon ba yung mga ven sa huli sa huli mababa na ganito yan pag pumasok ka

52:32 na kasi late na nga tayo Eh eh hindi ko mabuksan 'yung pinto aan galit na galit tos pag naglalakad talagang naiwan eh dala mo yung babae opo upo sandali lang ' ba p kawawa tapos pagdating sa upuan nakaupo na umupo ka ng arte-arte mo maunahan ka pa ng iba eh walangwala na dati pag umuubo pa dalhin kita sa ospital ngayon ano ka bao ka ng ubo para kang aso nag-iba na anong nangyari y alam niyo sa dahil ang diyos ang nag-imbento ng kasal. Nagulat sila, "Why are you serving this only now?" Kasi sa pananaw ng Diyos dapat habang tumatagal lalong sumasarap. Oh, ayos ba yon? Sayang wala asawa ko e. Tanungin mo sa kanya mamaya ha.

53:18 Interviewhin niyo siya. No para alam dino kung anong sinasabi ko dito kung totoo o hindi ' ba interviewhin ninyo. Pero what I'm trying to say is this. Ang heart ng Diyos is to for us to enjoy kasi it's not good for a man to be alone in that he created a woman to be his helpmate. Now ito pang amazing part. Sabi ng Lord you shall not you had heard kasi parang okay na ba? Hindi. God is not after shallow obedience. Sabi niya, "You shall not commit adulty." But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adulty with her in his heart. Anong sinasabi ng Diyos? Yung adultery hindi lang yan yung actual na makikipagtalik sa tao. Ito yung yung last mo sina-satisfy mo through your imagination ' ba. Kumbaga hindi to

54:03 tungkol sa temptation ha. Kasi sabi nga ni Martin Luther, pwede yung ibon hindi mo mapipigilan dumapo sa ulo mo pero huwag mong hayaang magpugad. Parang labo naman. Kaya nangyayari pinahayaan mong magpugad. Hindi ganon. Kas hindi naman masama na mag ano na ma-appreciate mo yung beauty ng ibang tao. U ang ganda naman niya. Hindi masama 'yun. Pero yung pagnasaan mo siya iba na 'yun. Yun ang sinasabi ni Jesus. You have already committed adultery in your heart. Now isipin niyo to para mapigilan ka. Isipin mo ng mabuti ganito. If your right eye make you stumble, sabi ng Lord, tear it out and throw it from you. For it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. O ganito na lang

54:49 isipin mo. Ganun ba talaga siya kaganda para ipagpalit mo yung kaluluwang madala sa impyerno for the rest of eternity? Talagang sigurado ka. Mamimili ka katawan o impyerno kahon huwag ka parang kumbaga ganun ba talaga kakapogi para ipagpapalit mo yung kaluluwa mo naman ' ba be wise. Come on yung saya na yon 5 minutes 10 minutes, 15 minutes pero eternity. Wow. Huwag naman. Nakuhan ninyo 'yun ang sinasabi ng Diyos dito. Huwag mong ipagpalit ang mga pansamantalang

55:34 kasiyahan para sa walang hanggang kaparusahan. Ayaw natin yan. Kaya sabi ng Lord, kaya yung iba dini-divorce yung asawa para makapag-asawa ng iba. It was said, "Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her certificate of." But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife except for the reason of uncustity make her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorce woman commits adultery. Kasi may mga ganun na sige divorce mo lang para makapag-asawa ka ng iba. Sabi ni Lord hindi tama yan. And kaya ang tandaan ninyo yung adultery is more than getting involved with another man or another woman. It is more of and sabi ni Lord kayo rin dapat ganon. Huwag lang sila turo kay turo ganyan. Tayo rin. Tayo rin maging consistent

56:21 tayo. Kaya let me just end with this. Naalala niyo ah mamaya tawagin ko na muna po si yung isang kapatid natin. Praise God. Dumaan sa ganitong dilim but he was able to recover because of the grace of God. Panoorin po natin siya no kasi mag kahapon pa siya nagte-testify eh hanggang kanina pero kailangan syempre parang may family time din sila. Kaya kaya binio na lang. Panoorin natin. Okay lang. O tulag ka naman eh. Gising ka na. Panoorin natin. Okay. Ito po. >> I led the worldy lifestyle before I met Christ, chasing self-hel, materialism, and immoral relationships. Yet in all these, I felt empty. This longing led me to seek God and in that season I met

57:09 Alvy. I It was in a local community church where both of us came to know Christ. We served together, grew close and were married in 2015. God blessed us with two sons. In 2018, I left my corporate job to study full time in seminary, sensing the need to be equipped for ministry. Alv carried much of the financial and family responsibilities during this time. But despite being in ministry, I struggled with rudeness, impatience, and anger rooted in insecurity. I also entertained impure thoughts while maintaining an outward image of spiritual strength. Over time I became emoally involved with

57:55 a young woman close to my wife. What began as seemingly harmless conversations and counseling slowly turned into secrecy, private meetings, and eventually seual sin. I hid this for nearly 2 years. Too proud to confess convincing myself that since it had end I could simply prayed for transition from our previous church and through an invitation God brought us to CCF in 2021. Around that same time I also graduated from IGSL because life seemed to me moving forward and ministry opportuned

58:41 I deceived myself into thinking I had somehow moved past my hidden sin without confronting it before God looking back I realized I misinterpreted God's providence and kindness but scripture reminds us in Luke 8 verse 17 that nothing hidden then will remain concealed. Hidden sin poisons the soul and quietly erodes relationships. In January 2023, everything was exposed when the woman confessed to my wife. When Alvy confronted me, I admitted everything. I feared losing my family, ministry, and testimony. Yet in that painful moment, my wife said something I

59:27 will never forget. Despite what you did, I will not do anything glorify God and you should use everything you have learn in that night as I alone Iemned and hopeless but in that darkness I wasinded of Jesus that this was precisely why I should come to him not when I'm strong but when I am broken. It was also in this moment that God began correcting my view of him. I my shallow understanding of God had allowed me to minim sin and overestimate myself. But seeing him rightly as holy and

1:00:14 faithful broke me. His holiness exposed the depth of my sin while his faithfulness assured me that he had not abandoned me. This led me not just to regret but to genuine repentance, deeper worship and a renewed desire to follow Christ in humility and dependence. That same evening we reached out for help from trusted spiritual mentors and leaders. The next day I confessed everything to my family and in loss expecting anger but instead received grace, forgiveness and support for restoration. It was a living picture of Hebrews 126 to7 the Lord disciplines those he loves.

1:01:04 And even before I ask for forgiveness, Alv said, Christ for me so I am willing to forgive you. That grace became a powerful instrument of God used to soften my heart and lead me toward through repentance. We began the long process of restoration meeting with pastors receiving counseling and rebuilding trust it was painful to revisit the past but god sustained us the CCF community became his instrument of grace walking with us through biblical discipline and restoration our leadership roles were set aside so we could focus on healing through accountability counseling and faithful

1:01:50 walking with the community by gra we are able tove and alongide others through prarital couneling theoss family ministry and even the privil of offici wedding alongside this we also belong to a discipleship group and by his grace we also lead our own couples tea group these are not rewards God delight in using sinners for his purposes. In my role overseing discipleship management for CCF I am continually that this is not about merit but grace.

1:02:38 All of this points to one truth. It has never been about me. It is about a holy and faithful God who restores what is broken, the undeserving, and uses even our failures for his glory. Timothy chapter 2: 21. If anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use. Useful to the master, ready for every good work. My name is Neil Astronomo and to God alone be all the glory. Praise God. Pansin niyo po how gracious our God is. Ba ngayon now knowing that God is giving us the opportunity na makabalik to be restored by his grace. Now let me just suggest you paano natin to malalagpasan

1:03:24 na hindi tayo bumalik. Tama. Naalala niyo po 'yung 'yung ano 'yung 'yung ano 'yung 'yung babae na nahuli sa adultery? Naalala niyo 'yun? Yung sa John chapter 8 ' ba? Naalala niyo nung dinala siya sabing ganun ni Lord, "Oh Lord, ito nahuli namin oh." To's ang ginawa ni Lord nagsulat. Tama. Alam niyo kung ano yung sinulat niya? Gusto niyong malaman? Sino gusto malaman? Hindi ko rin alam. Ang totoo niyan, it was a gesture. Kasi sa Israel, pag pumunta ka sa temple area, naging sa pavement ng Jerusalem, mga bato yon. And when God Jesus wrote something on that stone, he was telling them, I know the law. I wrote the law with my finger. Remember, the law was

1:04:11 written by the finger of God. I know it. Kaya anyone na walang kasalanan, let him be the first one to to throw the stone. Eh wala. Nagsulat ulit no. Tumayo siya. O nasan na sila? Wala ho natira. Sabi niya, "Ako rin hindi kita kinukondena." Pero itong amazing, sa sobrang pagmamahal sa atin ng Diyos, hindi niya tayo kinokondena. Pero sa sobrang pagmamahal din ng Diyos, sabi niya, "Sin no more." Ayaw niya rin tayong manatili sa ating kamalian. Are you following? So anong ating gagawin? So when we are being tempted, remember the instruction of Paul, now flee from youthful lust and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. You cannot do this on

1:04:58 your own. Tandaan ninyo, we are to to with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. When you flee, run with this people. Kaya nga dito we have small groups. We need to help each other. Sabi ng Bible, "Carry one another's burden and fulfill the law of Christ." Importante yon. Kaya huwag nating baliwalain ang bawat isa. We are important. We are to carry one anothers. And if ever somebody is caught in a sin, restore that person. Don't condemn. Don't destroy. Restore. Nagkakinan. Yan ang ating puso. Kaya naman sabi ng Lord, flee from youthful life. Papaano nga ibig sabihin ng flee? 'Di ba? Ano yung gagawin natin dapat? First, tingnan niyo ' ba? Pursue righteousness. Hindi lang basta takbo. Fill yourself with Christ.

1:05:46 Kaya sabi ng Bible, "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you." Hindi lang din yon. live with boundaries. Kailangan mag-set tayo ng boundaries kasi alam niyo importante yung boundaries na yon kasi we are weak people. Naalala ko lang po kahit sa bahay namin I set boundaries for my children. I do not allow them to sleep over mga kapaibigan. Bakit? Kasi hindi namin kontrolado iyun. But I we welcome their friends to come to us and sleep in our house. At least alam namin and they have their own rooms ng pagistayan. Hindi yung parang sama-sama kayo. I need to protect them. Kaya early stage ng kanilang adolescence, we made a commitment. I gave them purity ring para to remind them that your body is not for

1:06:33 yourself. It's for God. 'Di ba? Ako mismo, I also put some boundaries with me. Hindi ako nakikipagbeso-beso. Hangga't kaya kong iwasan ng beso-beso, hindi ako nakipagbeso-beso. Bakit? Alam ko ang maaring epekto sa akin pag nakipagbeso-beso. Minsan may kuryente. Hindi ko alam. Pati pa nagpapa-picture ako, lagi na akong nakaganyan kasi ay tinitiyak ko na itong braso ko itong ano hindi dumidikit kung saan-saan. Mamaya nakadikit lang sa braso din eh kung ano-ano isipin ko. Hindi ko sinasabing laging ganun ha. Baka mamaya isipin niyo grabe naman si pastor lahat na lang iniisip. Nag-iingat lang ako kasi may mga nagpapa-picture nag-iingat ay pastor pitcture parang ganun kaagad. Hindi naman nagsusuplado kaya lang I need to protect myself. Naintindihan? As much as possible ayokong naghahawak ng mga sa

1:07:20 mga tao 'yung mga Hindi ako nag mahilig mag-aakbay-akbay basta-basta. Unless talagang kaibigan kaibigan ko kaya anak ko ng touring ganyan. Ay sorry buti hindi umabot sayo kundi bato ka. Yung mga ganon parang pinipigilan mo yun kasi bakit you set boundaries. Naalala ko yung anak ko nagka-boyfriend sabi sa kanya tandaan mo there is a point of no return. Pag lumabas ka na kayipaghawak kamay hindi ka nalalabas ng hindi kayo naghahawak kamay. Pag lumabas ka na nag-aakbay, hindi na kayo lalabas hindi nag-aakbay. Pag lumabas kayo nagyayakapan, hindi na kayo lalabas hindi nagyayakapan. Pag lumabas kayo kung saan kayo umabot, hindi niyo na mababalikan yun sa simula. Kaya you better set your boundaries. And I praise God. They did it nung kinasal sila. Alam nakakatuwa. Now you may kiss the bride. Alam mo sagot? Hindi po namin hindi po kami

1:08:07 marunong. Nagulat yung mga nag-attend. Sabi niyo, "Wow! Kahit nung prenaptial nag tumawag pa. Nagkataon nasa US ako. Tumawag pa pa. Pinapaano kami ng direct na mag-sweet daw kami. Hindi pa naman kami kasal. Follow your heart. Follow what God is telling you. And they maintain their purity. And I praise God for my children. I'm so proud before the Lord that somehow my children understand how to live with boundaries. Naintindihan po? Hindi po ako legalistic na tao. I'm very open but this is how I do it. Unang-una, I treat older men as father and I treat younger men as brothers. Kung ako tinatong tatay, I'll treat you as my child. I will keep that in mind so

1:08:53 that I would not go beyond my boundaries. Now ito the older women as mothers. Then the younger women as sisters. Look at the words in all purity. Kung may bagay nag-question sa akin, I'm asking the Lord, Lord, will you please show me kung meron akong maling motibo. I just want to make sure my conscience is clear. Are you following? Kasi kaya araw-araw nakikipag-usap kaya't yung apo ko ngayon pa lang pinagpe-pray ko na palagi pag binigay sa akin. Did you do my your quiet time? Understand your life is for the Lord. 2 months lang yon. Kakantahan ko yun with verses just to remind him that he is to live for Jesus. Eh nakakatuwa pong ba ba ang prayer

1:09:39 namin sa umaga ganito lang. Our father in heaven, hollowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debs as we forgive our deors, do not lead us into temptation ba but deliver us from evil for yours is the kingdom and the glory and the power and magkamali pa glory our father in heaven Hallowed be your name. Ba nagpe-pray na

1:10:28 yung bata. Why? As young as they are, pag-pray niyo na yung mapapangasawa nila, God willing. Pag-pray niyo na kung anong magiging future nila. Pag-pray niyo na, ilaban na natin kasi I will not be here forever but at least my prayer lives. Are you following? Now set the boundaries and of course exchange lies with truth. Talagang ilagay mo sa isip mo because Satan will tell you no one will know. But God sees everything. The enemy says you can manage the sin but sin destroys. 'Di ba? Always go back to the truth. And finally expose your sin. Kung talagang nandon ka na. Don't be afraid to expose it. Expose it before the Lord. Huwag kang mahiya. Sabihin mo kay Lord kung anong talagang nilalaman ng puso mo.

1:11:15 Kaya sabi ng Bible, "He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper. But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion." Kaya ho napakaimportante to. Even David when he fell, you know what he did? Sabi niya, "Be gracious to me oh God." He confessed, "Acording to your loving kindness, according to the greatness of your compassion, blat out my transgressions, was me thoroughly. from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. You see friends, God restored the joy of his salvation and God is not looking for perfect people. He's looking for repentant heart. Kaya ho mga kapatid, I'm not claiming perfection to. Lahat tayo mahihina. We need the grace of God. But by his grace,

1:12:01 we can say no to ungodliness. By his grace we can live for his glory and honor for we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. Tayo pong lahat ay yumuko at pumikit sandali mga kapatid you alone know anong pinagdadaanan mo sa buhay but God is inviting you. I want you to have a fresh start. You see, therefore, if anyone is in Christ, is a new creation, the oldest pass the new has come. But you have to be honest, you have to admit kung ano talagang kalalagayan mo. And you have to believe that Jesus Christ loves you and he died for you and he rose again from the dead. And you have to commit your life and say, "Lord, no longer I but you." Kung ikaw yung kinakausap ng Diyos, be humble. God

1:12:48 wants you to give rest. Be humble. Just raise your hand to the Lord. Lord, ako po yun. Yes. Yes. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Anybody else? Yes. I want to pray for you. Yes. Yes. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for those who raised their hands, humbly say to the Jesus, Lord Jesus, thank you for the forgiveness of my sin. Thank you, Lord
