ANG ACCOUNTABILITY SA PUBLIC OFFICE IS TO BE DEALT WITH AS THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS DESIGNED; AT KAILANGAN PALAKASIN NG MGA KRISTIYANO ANG ACCOUNTABILITY NG PUBLIC OFFICIALS

When people offer themselves for political positions, they are asking to be evaluated, even as persons. That personal evaluation is necessary to make accountability come alive. Art XI of the Constitution requires specific personal virtues and behavioral attributes of the candidate. You cannot not tell a thief to return the stolen funds without it being addressed to the person of the thief.

ANG HINDI PAGTUTOL SA CORRUPTION SA GOBYERNO, AY PAKIKIAYON SA NAKAWAN AT PAGPAPAHIRAP NG BAYAN

Ang Kristiyano ang dapat nagsisilbing preservative ng kabutihan ng lipunan (salt nga tayo) at tagapagbigay liwanag sa madidilim na sulok ng bayan (at light pa, di ba?). Kaya’t ang command sa atin ay ilagay ang ilaw on top of the hill, where darkness and the evil deeds it encourages are displaced by Christian light (Matthew 5:13-16).

ANG KAKULANGAN NG PAGTUTURO NG CHRISTIAN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

Ang kakulangan ng pagtuturo ng Christian civic engagement ang dahilan kaya napakahina ng ambag ng mga Kristiyano sa social policies. Sa halip na turuan ng democratic ways of fighting for the Kingdom of God values, the Christian voice was weakened.

GAANO KA-DIRETSO ANG BIBLE SA PAGSASABING DAPAT AY INILIGTAS NATIN ANG MGA NAGING BIKTIMA NG EJK?

Malinaw po, na nung nag-launch ng Project Tokhang at Oplan Double Barrel, ang mga church leaders po sana ay nagdasal at nag-alala na ukol sa legalidad o katarungan ng nangyayari lalo na noong napakadami nang namamatay.

ONE THING FILIPINO CHRISTIAN LEADERS MUST AVOID AT ALL COST

After the fall of Adolf Hitler’s government, Christian leaders in the Western allied forces were faced with a dilemma – how to help the German Christians repent for their support for Hitler while not driving them away from the rest of the universal Body of Christ.

WHEN DO CHRISTIANS RESIST A GOVERNMENT THAT KILLS ITS CITIZENS? By John Piper

“Woe to us if we think the church has to have a good reputation in order to do what it’s called to do.”

THE LIMITS OF SUBMISSION TO MAN

Romans 13:1–7 has often been used to justify an unseemly conformity to the status quo in this country and in others. It could be used to keep the church docile to the Nazi regime in Germany, and to impede the efforts of those in our own land who worked for equal rights for black people twenty years ago. I want us to look at this text in order to see what the apostle was really teaching.

LAHAT NAMAN DAW NG PULITIKO AY CORRUPT

Nakakakilabot po, pero merong mga Kristiyano na yan ang argumento. Ayaw nilang pag-usapan ang standard ng Bibliya, at mamili ayon sa alituntunin ng Diyos. Ang gusto nila ay makiagos na lang kung ano ang takbo ng mundo.

SA KASAYSAYAN, NAGSIMULA ANG REPORMA O MAGANDANG PAGBABAGO SA ISANG MINORYA O REMNANT; ANG TANONG LAMANG AY KABILANG KA BA SA MGA MANGUNGUNA PARA SA MAKA-DIYOS NA PAGBABAGO?

Ni minsan ay hindi hinintay ng Diyos na magbagong-isip ang mayorya upang simulan Niya ang pagbabago sa lipunan. Palagi, nagsimula Siya sa isa, tapos naging dalawa, mga anak at kaanak, buong tribo, hanggang buong bayan ang nabago.
