hi there. I've been thinking of leaving the music ministry, which i am so involved in, and just rest. is there anything wrong with that? I wasn't hurt by anyone in the church. I am not harboring any grudge or anything. Am just plain tired. I'm not angry with God even with how messy my life is at the moment. I just feel i need to fix things up. I don't want to my ministry mates to be burdened with how i feel now. I dont want to drag them down in anyway. But i know they can feel the coldness in me. Is taking a rest from the ministry a sin? I mean, is it an offense against God? -need help --Anonymous

Comment: Hello there friend. There's nothing wrong with leaving the music ministry as long as your heart continues to be right before the Lord. You have to examine why you're leaving this ministry. Has God given you a gift in this area? If you don't have a gift in music ministry, then maybe God wants you to serve Him in another ministry -- a ministry where God has enabled you through the gifts and talents he has given you.

Are you "just plain tired?" Then maybe you indeed need some rest. Try to balance your life. Find out about ministry burnout. There's a lot of help you can get by searching the internet about this topic. Burnout can and do happen to anyone including pastors and Christian workers who do the Lord's work without end. It's OK to take a rest but don't be "cold" to your "ministry mates." Be warm and remain friendly with them.

Take time out, seek the Lord's help. Do the Lord's work using His power and giving Him all the credit, honor and glory. Using one's own power and seeking for recognition, honor and glory is a sure way to reach ministry burnout quickly. Hope this helps. God bless you in your ministry.

Alam mo bakit nawala ang guitar mo? Kasi sabi ng Lord,"matingin nga ang faith ni Bernel..." Alam mo ba bakit low ang budget ng church niyo? Kasi sabi ng Lord,"sige nga, anong gagawin mo?" Alam mo ba bakit nagkaroon ka ng bagong guitar? Kasi sabi ni Lord,"etong si Bernel ay nagpray at naniwala sa Akin. Hindi ko siya pababayaan gaya nang ipinangako ko. Kaya Bernel, huwag mong isipin iyong luma, eto, mas maganda para sa iyo." --madel po

well i am here to share you my story........ last last week, i went to our church house.... our church band will be having a evangelistic concert, so we have to practice.... i found out that my guitar has been stolen....... i was not really panicked because i know the church will buy another one....... but after a few days i discovered our church is low in budget, and it will not be able to buy me an new guitar.... our practices was not very formal because there is no guitar..... i prayed every night to God to give me a new guitar...... i was further discouraged when i discovered that the only available guitar to buy in multibrand was a 12,000 php electric jazz guitar, no way can our church provide such a sum....... i was so down but God did not forsaken me........ the church was able to find the sum to buy the guitar in installments...... i was very happy when Mrs. Dawal was paying for the guitar....... throughout the night, i played the new guitar and dedicating all my songs to God, secular and christian....... i prayed to God that night and thanked Him over and over again........ the lesson i learned is a.) everything in earth is not ours, if we attached those things to us we will lament when it is taken from us......... and b.) if God took a thing from you, He will give you something much better....... because my former guitar is only a 6,000 guitar.....and now we are still preparimg for the concert...... please pray that our concert will be succesful........ god bless!!! --bernel frenson narido

Comment: Ang galing! God surely does answer prayers in unexpected ways. God bless you and everyone involved in the evangelistic concert. God be with you! Regards sa lahat diyan sa Bicol!

hello paper! i once asked that question to myself. lima lng kasi kaming babae sa course namin. yong kaschedule ko pa, puro lalaki. so, almost 8 hours a day kong kasama yong 6 boys. hehehe. pero hindi na ako nagwo-wory ngayon. i pray na di ka rin mag-wo-worry too much. :)yes, they are my friends. i told them about that issue somehow. grateful lng ako dahil ako yong inaalagaan nila. nakaka-flatter nga sometimes kasi crush ko pa yong isa sa kanila. but i have to really control my emotions. hehehe. binasa ko yong Bible kung dapat ba akong mag-worry bout that. nakalimutan ko yong verse na binasa ko... pero the thought is this: treat everyone as your brother or sister in Christ. dapat hindi ka at yong mga boys magpapaapekto sa mga sinasabi ng iba. dapat irespect mo nalang cla. at dapat irespect ka rin nila. alalahanin mo, they are honorable princes... they are children of a king. and God is the King! :) --CA

Umm..hello to all, I just wanna seek advice..ano bang dapat kong gawin? Ganito kasi iyon, i'm a girl in highschool, marami akong friends sa school, boys and girls. barkada ko ay dalawang babae at apat na lalake. one day na invite ko ang mga friends ko sa bahay kasi may i download kami sa computer. supposed to be may kasama akong babae na kaibigan ngunit umuwi nalang siya kagad kasi may gagawin pa siya at ang isa namang babae ay hindi maka punta kasi not feeling well. kaya ang kasama ko nalang ang mga kabarkada kong lalake. Ok lang ba sa isang babae na kasama ay puro lalake kahit talagang magkaibigan lang talaga kayo? baka kung ano ano nalang siguro ang tingin ng mga tao sa akin sa paligid... -paper-
