CHRISTIAN WOMEN AND THE VEIL IN PRAYER — Final Exhortation

English
🇵🇭 Tagalog

FINAL EXHORTATION

"Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you." (1Cor. 11:2)


Brethren, the matter of the veil may seem small to some, but in the sight of God no commandment given through His apostles is without weight. The Spirit did not inspire Paul to write these things in vain. From creation to Christ, from the angels of heaven to the assemblies of the churches, the head covering stands as a testimony of God’s eternal order.

It is not the fabric itself that saves, but the faith that submits to God’s will. Yet, to set aside what the Lord has commanded is to tread on dangerous ground. Jesus said, “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). Paul affirmed, “The things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord” (1 Cor. 14:37). To obey is to honor Christ; to refuse is to dishonor Him.

Sisters, every time you cover your heads in prayer, you are bearing witness before the world and before the angels to the divine order that God Himself has established concerning headship (v.3). And that divine order is good, perfect, and wise. Brothers, when you faithfully teach and uphold this truth, you show love not only for God’s Word but for the souls entrusted to you. Together, in unity, we proclaim that the church of Christ is governed not by culture or opinion but by the eternal Word of God.

Therefore, let us stand fast in the ordinances delivered by the apostles (1 Cor. 11:2). Let us resist the temptation to make void the Word of God through human reasoning. Let us not be ashamed of practices the world despises, but rather glory in obedience, for our Lord Himself was made of no reputation and humbled Himself unto death, even the death of the cross (Phil. 2:8).

Brethren, the time will come when the world mocks all that is holy, and even many in the church will despise apostolic doctrine. But as for us, let us remain steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor is not in vain in Him (1 Cor. 15:58).

May every act of submission, every veil worn in prayer, and every ordinance kept in faith point to the glory of Christ, the true Head of the church. And may the Lord find us faithful when He comes.

PANGHULI NA PANAWAGAN

"Kayo'y aking pinupuri nga, na sa lahat ng mga bagay ay naaalaala ninyo ako, at iniingatan ninyong matibay ang mga turo, na gaya ng ibinigay ko sa inyo." (1Cor. 11:2)


Mga kapatid, maaaring sa iba’y maliit na bagay lamang ang tungkol sa pagsusuot ng belo ng mga kababaihang Kristiyano sa panalangin, ngunit sa paningin ng Diyos, walang utos na ibinigay sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang mga apostol ang walang halaga. Hindi sinulat ni Pablo ang mga ito nang walang saysay, kundi sa patnubay ng Espiritu. Mula sa paglalang hanggang kay Cristo, mula sa mga anghel sa langit hanggang sa mga iglesiang itinayo ng Diyos, ang belo ay patotoo ng walang hanggang kaayusan ng Diyos.

Hindi ang mismong tela ang nagliligtas, kundi ang pananampalatayang nagpapasakop sa kalooban ng Diyos. Ngunit kung ating ipagwawalang-bahala ang iniutos ng Panginoon, naglalakad tayo sa mapanganib na landas. Sabi ni Jesus: “Bakit ninyo ako tinatawag na Panginoon, Panginoon, at hindi ninyo ginagawa ang mga bagay na sinasabi ko?” (Lucas 6:46). At pinatotohanan ni Pablo: “Ang mga bagay na isinusulat ko sa inyo ay mga utos ng Panginoon” (1 Cor. 14:37). Ang pagsunod ay pagpupuri kay Cristo; ang pagtanggi ay paglapastangan sa Kanya.

Mga kapatid na babae, sa tuwing tinatakpan ninyo ang inyong ulo sa pananalangin, ipinahahayag ninyo sa mundo at sa mga anghel ang kaayusang itinakda ng Dios sa usaping ng pagkapang-ulo (v.3), at ang Kanyang kaayusan ay mabuti. Mga kapatid na lalaki, sa pagtuturo at pagtataguyod ninyo ng katotohanang ito, ipinapakita ninyo ang inyong pag-ibig hindi lamang sa Salita ng Diyos kundi sa mga kaluluwang ipinagkatiwala sa inyo.

Sama-sama, ipinapahayag natin na ang iglesia ni Cristo ay pinamumunuan hindi ng kultura o opinyon, kundi ng walang hanggang Salita ng Diyos. Kaya’t tayo’y magpakatatag sa mga aral na iniwan ng mga apostol (1 Cor. 11:2). Huwag nating hayaan na ang Salita ng Diyos ay mawala ng saysay dahil sa pangangatwiran ng tao. Huwag tayong mahiya sa mga gawi na kinamumuhian ng sanlibutan, kundi magalak tayo sa pagsunod—sapagkat ang ating Panginoon mismo ay nagpakumbaba hanggang sa kamatayan, maging sa krus (Fil. 2:8).

Mga kapatid, darating ang panahon na pagtatawanan ng sanlibutan ang lahat ng bagay na banal, at maging ang ilan sa iglesia ay hahamakin ang turo ng mga apostol. Ngunit para sa atin, manatili tayong matatag, hindi natitinag, laging masigasig sa gawain ng Panginoon, yamang nalalaman natin na ang ating pagpapagal ay hindi walang kabuluhan sa Kanya (1 Cor. 15:58).

Nawa’y bawat pagpapasakop, bawat belo na isinusuot sa pananalangin, at bawat aral na sinusunod sa pananampalataya ay magturo tungo sa kaluwalhatian ni Cristo, ang tunay na Ulo ng iglesia. At nawa’y datnan Niya tayong tapat sa Kanyang pagbabalik.

Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them.

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog " Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them. " Text: Mark 11:24 Introduction This Bible sermon explains the true meaning of Mark 11:24 , where Jesus teaches about believing prayer. Many misunderstand this verse as a promise that God will grant any request, but Scripture shows that prayer must be made in Christ’s name, according to His will, and from a life of obedience . Learn what the Bible really teaches about faithful prayer. Brethren and friends, listen carefully to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:24 : “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse is powerful. It is encouraging. It strengthens our faith in prayer. But it is also one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible today.

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 1

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Foundational Thesis — Why the Deity of Christ Is Central to Salvation and Doctrine THE DEITY OF CHRIST  — LECTURE 1   Introduction: The Question That Determines Everything There is no question more critical in all of Scripture than this: Who is Jesus Christ? Not merely what men say, not what traditions teach, but what the Word of God declares. For upon this question rests the foundation of salvation, the authority of doctrine, and the very identity of God as revealed to man. In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” This was not a casual inquiry—it was a dividing line between truth and error, life and condemnation. The answer given by Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), becomes the cornerstone of true faith. Yet Scripture does not leave this confession undefined. The Bible itself explains what...

“For Now I Know” — God’s Response to Faith With Works

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved. But God chose to phrase it this way—“for now I know”—to communicate something to us. It is not that God gained new knowledge, but that He demonstrated in a way we can understand that true faith is proven by obedience.   Faith Is Only Real When It Acts Notice, brethren, Abraham was already a man of faith before Genesis 22. Hebrews 11:8 says he obeyed when he was called to go out. But here, his faith reached its highest test—offering Isaac, his only son. Faith alone in the mind would not have satisfied God. James ...

IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD? A Doctrinal Examination by Scripture Alone 📖 WHAT DOES “Pleasing to God” MEAN? To ask whether Christmas celebration is pleasing to God is not a cultural question but a doctrinal one . Scripture defines what pleases God—not human sentiment, tradition, emotion, or majority practice. “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .”   (Hebrews 11:6) What pleases God is: ·      Faith grounded in His revealed will ·      Obedience to His commands ·      Worship offered according to His authority “ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. ”   (2 John 9) ☛ Thus, anything done “for God” but without His authorization is not pleasing—no matter how sincere . ✎ Key Questio...

HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”)   A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them. The Lord is s...

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST? Main Text: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Beloved, my friend… allow me to speak to you not as an enemy, but as one who cares for your soul. I am not here to attack you. I am not here to argue with you. I am here to ask you something—something simple, yet something that may change everything about your life, your faith, and your eternity. My friend… what church are you a member of? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question—not just by name, but by truth? Who built that church you belong to? When did it begin? Was it established in the days of the apostles… or was it started by a man many years later? And more importantly… can you find that church in the New Testament? Pause for a moment. Think carefully. If we open the Bible—not traditions, not history books...
