Bro. Eliseo Soriano: Anxiety Disorder is an illness Christians should not have

During a consultation with the brethren, Bro. Eliseo Soriano mentioned that Christians should not have anxiety disorders. Having this “dis-ease” as he calls it, shows a person's lack of trust to the Creator.

Consultations with Bro. Eli is part of the weekly Thanksgiving services of the MCGI.  This one occurred June 22, 2013.

“We shouldn’t have anxiety if we trust God” said Bro. Eli.

(Dapat wala tayong anxiety kung may tiwala ka sa Dios.)

He explained that anxiety comes from the presumptuous mind of a person that something bad will happen coupled with the lack of trust to God.

“If you trust the God that we are serving, you will not experience anxieties” Bro. Eliseo Soriano added.

(Kung may tiwala ka sa Dios na pinaglilingkuran di ka mababalisa.)

Instead, he recommends brethren to pray to God whenever faced with difficulties in life. He read a Bible verse in the book of Philippians that says:


“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

The same advice Bro. Soriano expressed on a tweet dated January 21, 2010:


In addition to that, in Bro. Eliseo Soriano’s blog entry entitled “Stop! Suicide Is Never a Solution, Period.”,  he mentioned that a preacher like himself also has lots of problems but his trust is in the Lord.

“I can say with confidence that my problems and responsibilities are far greater than most people I know, but I live in hope because I have trusted that what I cannot do, can be done by my great God.” Bro. Eli Soriano wrote.

UNTV's Daniel Razon Launches Country's First Tulong Muna Bago Pasada

Three years after the successful launch of Tulong Muna Bago Balita, Daniel Razon introduced another public service dubbed Rescue Cab: Tulong Muna Bago Pasada that intends to include cab drivers in the advocacy of helping first before anything else.

"Maybe, if all cab drivers will have rescue trainings, our streets will be a much safer place." said Razon in an interview.

(Siguro kung lahat ng taxi drivers gaya po ninyo ay makakapag-train ng rescue, mas magiging ligtas ang ating mga kalsada.)



In 2011 alone, more than 11,000 road accidents were recorded by the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group accounting for more than 1,000 deaths and 4,000 injuries that year.

With Tulong Muna Bago Pasada, Kuya Daniel hopes that cab drivers will be instrumental in helping motorists, commuters, and pedestrians in the event of an accident.

In cooperation with Philippine Red Cross, the first batch of orientation started June which covers Basic Life Support (BLS) trainings and is expected to end this July. Attendees will also receive a certificate upon completion of the training.

"I hope that this will be the start of our cooperation to serve, not only to our passengers but also to other motorists and commuters as well." Razon added.

(Ito po sana ay maging isang pasimula ng ating pagtutulungan para makapaglingkod hindi lamang sa ating nagiging pasahero kundi maging pati sa mga motorista at mga naglalakbay sa daan.)

When Razon through UNTV launched Tulong Muna Bago Balita on July 2010 - which is the ascendant program of Tulong Muna Bago Pasada - it opened up plenty of avenues for public services and apparently, it has also inspired public service programs from other media outlets other than UNTV.

As an example, TV5, a local channel, launched 'Rescue5' on February 2011 with the same format of helping first before reporting as UNTV's Tulong Muna Bago Balita.

Kuya Daniel Razon is an advocate of numerous public service projects in the country. Some of his projects includes free college education program through La Verdad Christian College in Caloocan City and Apalit, Pampanga. Also, Clinic ni Kuya has more than 13 branches nationwide to give free health checkups to those in need.

Interested parties to participate in Tulong Muna Bago Pasada may contact UNTV hotlines at (02) 441 8688 and (0938) 803 0777.

7:22 PM Philippine Time

Bro. Eliseo Soriano greets everyone and remarked about the importance of these kinds of gatherings which is a study about the spirit and not only about the things of this life.






"Ang ating katawan ay instrumento ng kaluluwa para makarating tayo sa buhay na walang hanggan." - Bro. Eli


7:40 PM Philippine Time

Si Cristo ay di taga rito sa lupa. Muy claro! - Bro. Eli
John 6:38: Sapagka't bumaba akong mula sa langit, hindi upang gawin ko ang aking sariling kalooban, kundi ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin.
John 1:14: At nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo, at tumahan sa gitna natin (at nakita namin ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian, kaluwalhatian gaya ng sa bugtong ng Ama), na puspos ng biyaya at katotohanan.



8:13 PM Philippine Time

Next to ask is from Pangasinan. The question is about the real way of accepting Christ.

Colossians 2:6-7: As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Ang pagtanggap kay Cristo ay pagtanggap sa Kanyang turo. - Bro. Eli







 8:33 PM Philippine Time

Love is in the air! Bro. Eli is now discussing about love particularly Eros, Philia, and Agape. 
Read some tweets from people monitoring the event:














 8:57 PM Philippine Time

Bro. Eli pointed out the importance of listening to the words of God.

II Peter 2:21: For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.



"Ang mabuting gawa ay di magbubunga ng masama"

Kahit ginantihan ka ng masama ng ginawan mo ng mabuti, ok lang yun dahil ganti ng Dios ang hinihintay nating bunga.




Luke 6:35: But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Revelation of John 22:12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.


 9:00 PM Philippine Time


"Basta tao, mahal ng Dios. Gusto Nya, lahat ng tao [ay] maligtas." - Bro. Eli



 9:15 PM Philippine Time

Unlike humans, God cannot lie.

Hebrews 6:18: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

 Titus 1:2: In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;







 9:40 PM Philippine Time

Now, Bro. Eli is explaining that early Christians worship God in places like houses of brethren if they couldn't gather in temples.


Acts 1:13: And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 
Acts 1:14: These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

What's prohibited is worshipping in temples which have false gods and idols.

Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:4: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exodus 20:5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;


 9:50 PM Philippine Time

The prohibitions in the time of the Israelites is a thing of the past.


Hebrews 9:10: Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.





  9:59 PM Philippine Time

 Katalagahan ng Dios sa tao na tayo ay mamamatay, Iba-iba lang ng paraan.
Hebrews 9:27: 
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (KJV)
"At kung paanong itinakda sa mga tao ang mamatay na minsan, at pagkatapos nito ay ang paghuhukom; " (Ang Biblia)

Some early Christians experienced recurring sickness like in the case of Timothy.

I Timothy 5:23: Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

   10:10 PM Philippine Time
  
As a final note to the exposition, Bro. Eliseo Soriano invited everyone to attend the Mass Indoctrination of Ang Dating Daan on July 15, 2013, God willing.
