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...

When A Just Man Falleth

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog When A Just Man Falleth Text: Proverbs 24:16 Falling Is Not the End Brethren, the Word of God says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief” ( Prov. 24:16 ). Notice, the verse does not say if a just man falls, but when . Even those who are righteous in Christ will stumble, make mistakes, and face weakness. The difference between the just and the wicked is not whether they fall—it is what they do afterward. The just man rises again. The wicked stays down. Have you fallen, brethren? Have you sinned, slipped, or grown cold in faith? God’s Word tells you: falling is not the end—unless you choose to stay there.   The Nature of Falling To “falleth” here comes from the Hebrew word naphal , meaning to collapse, stumble, or be cast down. It does not describe a life of deliberate sin but moments of weakness, of being overtaken. Paul speaks of this in Galatians 6:1 : “Brethr...

The Watchman’s Burden

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog The Watchman’s Burden Text: Ezekiel 3:17–19 The Watchman’s Burden Brethren, and dear friends who may be seeking the truth — the Lord spoke to Ezekiel and said: "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.” (Ezek. 3:17–19) This is not just Ezekiel’s story. This is a warning to all of us who know God’s word. We are watchmen. And with that role comes a burden — a burden of souls. God’s Calling Is Personal The Lord said, “I have made thee a wa...
