A Sunday of Nichols

Last Sunday was an extra special one, my "lolo" and "lola" are coming to church to speak. In the morning, Bro. Doug Nichols (my "lolo") delivered pulpit preaching about Jesus' pattern of prayer while, in the afternoon, his wife Margie Nichols shared among the women, the message of Christ's love for the untouchable, the woman who had been bleeding for 12years and got healed by touching Jesus' cloak..

They shared a lot, but 2 things hit me. One is to hallow God's name(from Bro.Doug) and the other is THINK before you speak(from Sis. Margie).

I realized that hallowing God's name does not only apply to giving reverence to His name, To hallow his name means affecting every minute of your life with His holiness. Example, in my thought-life, I should hallow God, with how I spend my money I should consider to hallow God's name and be good steward.

THINK stands for:
T - Truth, is what am I about to say true?
H-Helpful, is it going to help if I say it?
I-Inspiring, will it inspire others or not?
N-Needful are the words I have to say needed? or I should just not say it?
K-Kind, this one is the best test, yeah I can say what is true and needed but is it kind to say it? Like telling one person that her hair looks like broom when its true that she has big frizzy hair, yet still not kind to say.

The Nichols are one of the favorite missionaries in the church. I love both of them because they not only speak the truth but actually live the love of Jesus. They are good examples of living by faith and not loving the world.

May the Lord's grace create in me a pure heart and do as I THINK and hallow His name.

    It sounds like the session with Sis. Margie was such a blessing! Nakakabless nga po talaga silang dalawa.

Covid19 and Jesus

A friend shared two links to me this morning. Both are about thoughts about Covid19 from known Christian leaders. See links below: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-we-make-sense-of-the-coronavirus https://albertmohler.com/2020/02/27/briefing-2-27-20 John Piper and Albert Mohler shared what I have been thinking about these past weeks, to understand God's will over the global spread of the virus. In my head, is this part of God's wrath in the end times? I am trying to recall, is there a prophecy that God will inflict many of disease so they would repent?  I can try looking up for bible verses but listening to the two links, I realized two key messages: Believe in God Life is like a vapor   Point 1: Believe in God In times of trouble our minds is the constant target of Satan to sow fear and doubts. Hearing this reminder is encouraging me to keep a mind that trusts in Jesus:    Piper said "Jesus has all knowledge and all authority ov...
