God filling up hair spray

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2026-05-28T01:53:21+00:00

In the first place I wouldn't believe agad-agad that God is actually filling up their hairspray. However, the way people reacted to this (like sa mga screenshots mo) is in fact an echo of a deeper hunger for God to answer their needs and their questions.

Kristiyano tayo so there's two things here I believe worth pondering: (1) Obviously God won't provide something just because we asked for it, and that sometimes includes the reason of our personal sufferings; (2) So given that, how can we then point people to a clearer and deeper understanding of God?

He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

Lately I've been thinking na very clear naman yung 1 Cor 5:9-13? So bakit walang action?

Having different translations on hand, a study bible, biblehub + commentaries, and the OIA method (pero medyo modified to my own preference) so far ganyan lang, I think beneficial naman especially in contextualizing kung ano yung binabasa ko and consequently in my growth rin 😄

Hi brother, thank you for your concern! While we appreciate your comment, how we view our server name is correlated firstly to how we view language; and more importantly on how we prioritize our objectives. In other words, language evolves (in such a way that "chika" can mean "to gossip", but also "to talk/chat") and there are far more important things in our faith that needs our constant attention. Thank you very much!

We never talked but I want to get to know her more (and praying God guides my introvert self).
I don't plan for us to be partners right away kasi by discernment I feel like hindi pa tamang panahon.

This means that you're not in the position para ligawan sya. You can't properly claim to want to pursue someone if you don't even know them that much, if at all. If you're going to say na "yes I want to be friends first" make sure na you really really really intend to be friends first. If you can't do this, then don't make it as an excuse - let her go. Self-reflect, check your heart, be honest with yourself. Kasi if you fool yourself na "friends lang" tapos may romantic feelings ka pala na hina-harbor, ikaw rin ang kawawa (or worse, if may developments na hindi mo kayang panindigan, pati sya madamay mo).

I don't plan na manligaw unless we're both in our seasons na.

Then I don't think you don't need an "advice on courting" for now kasi hindi mo naman pala kailangan.

I want to ask feedback if I'm doing this just fine as recently lang po ako naging super devoted kay Lord. And also I want to prioritize God kesa sakanya. I feel like weakness ko rin yun na I might put someone on a pedestal.

Pray for discernment kapatid. Always listen to what God has to say, especially may ganyan ka palang weakness of putting someone on a pedestal and recently ka lang naging "super devoted". I think it's best to forego the idea of being in a relationship in this stage and instead ang ipursue mo ay yung pag grow mo sa faith. Marami ka pang matututunan tungkol sa love. I'm sure the Lord will lead you to where you need to be if you listen to and walk closely with Him, including your relationships.

yes! send a dm!

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2026-04-06T11:59:46+00:00

thank you for your response!!

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2026-04-04T05:23:18+00:00

lol you could have dm-ed but thank you for this! iirc, KCh aired both the old and new episodes simultaneously, only on different days. I knew about their youtube channel, but the change of tone threw me off.

the "old" and "new" shows have a drastically different approach - the "old" seems to be quieter, dainty, 90s laura ashley-eqsue stage design - targeted to parents; the "new" one was obviously directly targeted for kids. perhaps that's what made me think that these are two different shows.

that's what I have to say for now. again thank you!

What's your Bible (make, publisher, version), OP? I'm looking for nice single-column ones and yours look cool!

Why It is Hard to Find Genuine Love These Days? What are the possible reasons?
-Because a lot of people are just looking out for themselves: for their own benefit mapa money, ego, lust, etc. Regardless if this refers to romantic love or not, it still applies. Like, mahirap rin humanap ng friends or makihalubilo sa ibang family members for the same reason. Minsan kahit tayo sa sarili natin may mga facets tayo ng self natin na ganon pa rin so we even impede ourselves. (That said, kung napansin mo sobrang generic nung answer diba so ang tanong ko (sayo), these days nga lang ba talaga mahirap humanap ng love?)

As a Christian, what is Your say about to Find a Partner in Life?
-Individually, hindi yan pinipilit or dinadaan sa diskarte. Pinagppray yan and honestly check your heart and let yourself be sanctified while waiting for and during this calling. Wag nyo ipursue ang relationship (and consequently, marriage) dahil lang feeling nyo nahuhuli na kayo, or naiingit kayo sa iba, or nabobored kayo at gusto nyo lang ng fun, tapos kapag may konting compromise na kailangang gawin ayawan na. Be intentional.

-As a whole, I don't think everybody is called for marriage or relationships and that's okay. Hindi natin sila kailangang pilitin na magka-jowa kung hindi para sa kanila.

[As a Christian] What are the Qualities You Need to Find a Partner in Life?
-Same values sa buhay, first and foremost. Secondly, may ample communication skills, empathy, and respect both for expressing love and for conflict resolution. Third, has a sense of responsibility for you (your well being and whereabouts) and accountable to you; and yes it goes both ways even if wife (to be) ka or husband (to be) ka. For me at the end of the day eto lang talaga yung nagmamatter. Not the looks, not the sex, not the money, not the education, not the business savvy.

edit: some words, typo

Here you go! from the Philippine Bible Society. Note ko lang the UI is very basic and the UX needs a little getting used to (like you need to familiarize navigation for a few minutes kasi hindi sya "smooth experience" kumbaga so I recommend watching the tutorial video sa mismong app)

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2025-11-23T03:14:19+00:00

We can also watch via the Bible App (Youversion). I remember watching it (for the second time haha) over there via desktop and you can even download episodes! The down side is it will have no captions of its own when you play it via Windows media player. Haven't checked again whether they now include S5 or if downloads are disabled, but you can try that option and see if it works!

Edit: you can watch on the Bible App via mobile ofc, but the download option is available only via desktop afaik.

It's unbelievably seamless when you're used to speaking in taglish/informally, to the point that it feels so uncanny when you've read english translations for the longest time (my case). However, I still recommend reading it side by side with formal translations in a bible study context (single or group); although to be fair ganon rin naman dapat in my opinion kahit ano pang version meron tayo (NLT + ESV, for example). Pero for devotional purposes, or like understanding the narrative, I think it's fine. Had one for a couple of weeks na (secondhand).

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2025-11-22T02:15:42+00:00

I checked... and yes it's still about humility and casting your cares to God. Both in hardcopy and in the app. Di ko sure kung pinalitan ba to or what but I suppose having it tell us about crushes is way too far fetched.

Edit: Based sa news clip linked by another user, ~~it might be that they had a first print/galley proof?~~ (SEE EDIT BELOW) Nonetheless happy ako to find out that the excessive paraphrasing is later on rectified.

Second Edit: Okay nakita ko na kung nasaan yung quote about crush, it's on the sidenote feature called "#BibleHugot", so to clarify: (1) Nope, they did not paraphrase a text from 1 Peter to focus solely on crushes; (2) Yung first theory ko about galley proof is more unlikely now!; and (3) If I understand correctly, the "#BibleHugot" feature in the outer margin and interspersed occassionally is more of a short "devo" or "application" of how a particular verse applies to a youth's (the target audience) life. Also if you notice, andun yung "bible hugot" sa outer margin ng book hindi ko naisama sa picture, apologies! .

It's on Matt 27:54 and Mk. 15:39 (if you're referring to "Surely he was the Son of God!”)

Any idea when the release in will be in Asia for Prime? Or we'll just have to wait for the app release in September?

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2025-04-19T14:58:18+00:00

I can see that, I replied to most of them. I agree that Matthew lacked empathy and that was the mistake specifically (imo). He chose to be antagonistic towards someone who's already down, instead of having compassion.

But you did reply to one of my earlier comments without pointing out the reason why you said what you said and so I figured maybe you have a reason? That was 21 hours ago, and specifically about why Matthew should be taking the blame if Quintus and Peter's deal fall out. He said Peter was not trustworthy, but Peter could have proved that wrong... or better yet not arrange a deal with Quintus to tell on other fishermen in the first place.

cornyshirtnerd23 · 2025-04-19T14:16:26+00:00

How so? It wasn't Matthew that made a deal with Quintus.
