Mga bagay na hindi mo dapat shini-share basta basta sa mga members ng Church;
“FEED THE SHEEP, NOT EXPOSE THE SHEEP.”
Proverbs 11:13 (KJV)
NOT EVERY CONVERSATION BUILDS THE CHURCH.
SOME CONVERSATIONS DESTROY TRUST, UNITY, AND PEOPLE.
1. NEVER DISCUSS CONFIDENTIAL COUNSELING DETAILS
Proverbs 25:9 (KJV)
Kapag may taong nag-open up sa’yo in confidence, hindi iyon automatic na puwedeng ikuwento sa ibang tao.
What was entrusted to you in confidence must be protected with discretion.
Huwag gawing sermon illustration ang private pain ng isang tao without permission.
-----------
2. NEVER DISCUSS ANOTHER MEMBER’S WEAKNESSES
Proverbs 16:28 (KJV)
May mga bagay na alam mo bilang pastor na hindi kailangang malaman ng congregation.
A person’s struggle should not become their reputation.
You are called to shepherd people—not expose them.
----------
3. NEVER DISCUSS PEOPLE’S GIVING OR OFFERINGS
Matthew 6:3 (KJV)
Kung magkano ang binigay ni Brother?
Magkano ang offering ni Sister?
Hindi iyon church gossip.
Giving is worship, not information for casual conversation.
-----------
4. NEVER DISCUSS INTERNAL LEADERSHIP CONFLICTS CARELESSLY
Proverbs 17:14 (KJV)
Hindi lahat ng disagreement sa leadership kailangang malaman ng congregation.
Some conflicts need a meeting, not an announcement.
Resolve issues with the right people, at the right level, in the right spirit.
----------
5. NEVER DISCUSS YOUR MARITAL PROBLEMS CARELESSLY
Proverbs 31:11 (KJV)
Your church members are not your emotional dumping ground.
Hindi dapat nagiging topic sa church ang weaknesses, failures, or private struggles ng iyong spouse.
Protect your marriage. Protect your spouse.
-------------
6. NEVER DISCUSS PERSONAL OFFENSES AGAINST MEMBERS PUBLICLY
Matthew 18:15 (KJV)
May naka-offend sa’yo?
Talk to the person—not to the crowd.
Huwag mong gawing prayer request ang personal offense para lang makapaglabas ng sama ng loob.
Matthew 18 says, “go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone.”
-------------
7. NEVER DISCUSS CHURCH FINANCIAL DETAILS CASUALLY
2 Corinthians 8:21 (KJV)
Church finances should be handled with integrity, accountability, and appropriate transparency.
Pero may difference ang transparency sa careless disclosure.
Hindi lahat ng financial information ay dapat maging casual conversation.
Handle God’s money with integrity—and handle sensitive information with wisdom.
-------------
8. NEVER DISCUSS OTHER MINISTERS NEGATIVELY
Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)
Hindi mo kailangang ibaba ang ibang pastor para maitaas ang sarili mong ministry.
You don’t build your ministry by destroying another minister’s reputation.
Kung may concern, address it biblically.
Kung wala kang role sa issue, sometimes silence is wisdom.

BEFORE YOU SPEAK, ASK:
IS IT TRUE?
Totoo ba?
IS IT NECESSARY?
Kailangan ba talaga itong sabihin?
IS IT MINE TO TELL?
Akin ba itong ikuwento?
WILL IT BUILD OR DESTROY?
Makakatulong ba ito o makakasira?
WOULD I SAY IT IF THAT PERSON WERE STANDING BESIDE ME?
Masasabi ko pa rin ba ito kung nandito mismo ang taong pinag-uusapan?
⸻
PASTOR, LEADERSHIP IS NOT ONLY KNOWING WHAT TO SAY.
IT IS ALSO KNOWING WHAT NOT TO SAY.
Hindi lahat ng alam mo ay dapat mong sabihin.
Hindi lahat ng narinig mo ay dapat mong ikuwento.
Hindi lahat ng conflict ay dapat i-broadcast.
Hindi lahat ng weakness ay dapat i-expose.
You are a shepherd, not a reporter.
The sheep trusted you with their stories.
PROTECT WHAT PEOPLE ENTRUSTED TO YOU.
FEED THE SHEEP.
PROTECT THE SHEEP.
DON’T EXPOSE THE SHEEP.
