Full of wisdom

morning sab diha Ed, thanks a lot for your guesses, pero sori, ha, dili man mao. but just for trying very hard, you already get a gift :). ang prize para lang jud na ni Bobot, if he makes the right guess by Mar 31.

Amen to what you shared. Full of wisdom jud si K.Philip.
i just thought of how God would have intervened in Adam's and Eve's love lives in a population of 6,762,996,317 (popclock projection by the International Programs Center, U.S. Census Bureau, 02/26/09 at 03:55 GMT (EST+5 ) . God's principle remains the same, but different kaayo ang context compared to that sa Garden of Eden , so most probably different sab ang strategy ni Lord for this generation.

balik sa ko sa akong work. musta ko ni Edith ha.

Na intriga

Hello folks,

Good morning. Na intriga ko anang inyong gikagubtan nga UBS ug hunted-hunter. Apil ko ha. Maski wala ko apil anang premyo, maki-sawsaw lang ko.

No offense ha! How about "UNITED BLESSED SINGLES", "UNDECIDED BEAUTIFUL SINGLE", "UNDENIABLY BLESSED SINGLE", "UNPLANNED BLESSED SINGLENESS", Hmm english na sis Mabel or Bisaya? Can't think of bisaya words.

Ok serious na pod.

Kuya Philip a few times said in his lectures on relationships that all of us who are in Christ are complete with or without partner. He used Col. 2: 9-10. We all have been given fullness in Christ. All of us must be totally secured in God through Christ. Partners are a gift from God. Only a few are called to a life of single blessedness or celebacy. It is a special calling.

We men can never be able to fathom what is going on in the hearts and inner core of women, so we can only as far as we can, say what we believe the word of God says or implies. Also we the married ones can help in accordance to what we experienced with our relationship with our wives. We are in no way expert in exploring womens thoughts. Hope that what we men share will somehow help in anyway our sisters.

Also when Kuya Philip laid out the principles of Marriage, he emphasized the observations of truth in Genesis 2:18-25. He laid out 9 principles and I expanded it to 11 in the course of time. I will discuss the most essential ones.

It would be helpful to note that Adam and Eve have never taken part in the choice of a partner, in fact Adam was asleep. He never complained when God brought him Eve, in fact he was so delighted. On the other hand Eve has no recorded complaint either. It was God who saw the need of Adam not Adam himself, he was the one who planned, decided, acted, made and brought. None of these were partaken by both. Obviously there was a process involved and all of it is God's business.

So what I am saying in my none expert view, that God in his sovereignty will arrange situations wherein we will be assured and have peace of mind and heart, that he is leading us to this person in his timing, not ours and or, is He leading us to stay single. Often times our timing is off mark compared sa timing sa God. If God wants us to marry late and can no longer have children then that would be God's will. One thing sure is that, God's choice, including being married or stay single, is the best and his timing is perfect in accordance to his purposes.

When we talked about God's sovereignty and God's permissive will, it is kind of subjective in view of man's sinful tendencies.

Women, as Lani and the proverbs say, that inner beauty should be displayed not the outer surface beauty.

Growing daily and deeply in our relationship with Jesus every second of the day somehow fortifies us from failing to heed God's leading.

Hope this helps.

In Christ Love,

ED AMPER
