“𝖠𝗇𝗀 𝖡𝖺𝗐𝖺𝗍 𝖯𝖺𝗀𝗐𝖺𝗐𝖺𝗌𝗍𝗈 𝖺𝗒 𝖦𝖺𝖻𝖺𝗒, 𝖺𝗍 𝖺𝗇𝗀 𝖡𝖺𝗐𝖺𝗍 𝖯𝖺𝗀𝗄𝖺𝗄𝖺𝗆𝖺𝗅𝗂 𝖺𝗒 𝖨𝗌𝖺𝗇𝗀 𝖠𝗋𝖺𝗅.”

Nagbukas ng panibagong yugto ang Northern Iloilo Christian School, Inc. (NICS) ngayong Lunes, Agosto 17, 2026. Sinimulan ang linggo sa pamamagitan ng Bible Hour na pinangunahan ni G. Warrie Española. Sa kanyang mensahe, ibinahagi niya kung paano maaaring magsilbing daan tungo sa pagbabago ang mga pagkakamaling nararanasan sa ating buhay.

Bagama’t karaniwang itinuturing na negatibong karanasan ang pagkakamali, binigyang-diin ng tagapagsalita na hindi ito ang wakas, kung saan kailangang mawalan ng pag-asa ang isang tao dahil sa isang kasalanang hindi naman niya sinasadyang gawin. Sa halip, maaari itong maging simula ng tunay na pagkatuto, pagbabago, at paghubog ng pagiging mas responsable, matalino sa bawat desisyon, at may sapat na pag-unawa sa buhay.

Una, binigyang-diin ni G. Española na ang pagwawasto ay hindi lamang isang anyo ng pagpuna, kundi pagpapakita rin ng malasakit. Ang mga paalala at pagwawastong nagmumula sa mga g**o, magulang, at kaibigan ay naglalayong gabayan ang isang tao upang matukoy ang kanyang mga pagkukulang at magsikap upang maging mas mabuting bersiyon ng kanyang sarili.

Ipinapaalala rin na ang pagkakamali ay hindi nangangahulugang masamang tao ang isang indibidwal, kundi bahagi ito ng proseso ng paglago at pagkatuto. Kaugnay nito, binigyang-diin ang mga bersikulo sa Proverbs 3:11–12 at Proverbs 13:18, na nagpapakita ng kahalagahan ng pagtanggap sa pagsubok, pagtutuwid, at disiplina bilang bahagi ng paghubog sa pagkatao. Sa halip na ituring na kabiguan ang pagkakamali, mahalagang gamitin ito bilang daan patungo sa tamang landas upang matuto, magbago, at higit pang mapaunlad ang sarili.

Bilang halimbawa, ibinahagi ang kuwento ni David sa Bibliya na, sa kabila ng kanyang pagkakamali, ay nagpakumbaba, umamin, at nagbago ng kanyang mga landas. Ipinakita nito na ang pagkakamali ay hindi kailangang maging wakas ng isang tao, lalo na kung mayroon siyang tapang na tanggapin ang kanyang kasalanan at gumawa ng pagbabago.

Sa huli, kapag ipinakita ng Panginoon o ng mga taong tunay na nagmamalasakit sa atin ang ating mga pagkakamali, nasa atin ang pagpapasya upang ipagtanggol ang mga ito o magkaroon ng lakas ng loob na kilalanin, unawain, at tanggapin ang mga ito, tulad ni David na nagsabing, “Ako ay nagkasala.”

Huwag nating takasan at talikuran ang ating mga pagkakamali. Sa halip, gawin natin itong gabay tungo sa paglago, karunungan, at pagiging mas mabuting tao hindi lamang para sa ibang tao kundi sa ating mga sarili.

𝓕𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼: 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓖𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓐𝓶𝓫𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼

Once the sun turns orange and red, another day ends—yet one chapter is about to unveil.

Life is a journey filled with meaningful and challenging experiences. Lifelong learning as its heartbeat, while persistence and motivation fuel one's heart to conquer every aspiration.

Each person has their own journey. Each decision made becomes a part of a story being written. Everyone is in the pursuit of different endeavors. Having various roles and circumstances.

Endings can feel melancholic but starting fresh feels even scarier. We face fear and even doubt our capabilities.

Despite that, new beginnings can also mean having the opportunity to dream once again. Starting fresh can feel like watching a new TV series. It can be filled with curiosity and excitement. It can also look like a blank canvas—plain and waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece. Each brushstroke signifies every experience, while the artwork depicts how impeccable one has become.

A student and a canvas are relatable.

Behind every artwork is a vision, while behind every student is an ambition. Both require effort and perseverance to take place.

Along the pursuit, some feel stressed and are about to give up. Whereas some continue to endure and move forward. Because the word surrender is not in their vocabulary.

Life is like a spinning tire; sometimes it goes up, and then down. Struggles are not meant to stay forever. It is similar to class exams—just trying to shape and test your abilities.

Dawn gives birth to goals. A learner, after finishing a task, starts to conquer another. Each accomplishment brings another errand to fulfill. A student once failed an exam; their score ended far from the passing rate. Yet, through their determination and by studying consistently, the student had another chance to pass and do well during the recent examination. Their experience is a gentle reminder that failures cannot abolish one's very right to redeem themselves and to dream once again.

Even though it is frightening to start over, our emotions should not hold us back from setting new goals. A maze has an exit—it's just waiting to be explored.

Having the source of strength to persevere can help everyone meet their aspirations. It may look hard to accomplish, but when someone has the heart to keep on trying—nothing is impossible.

Tomorrow brings another lesson to learn, obstacles to overcome, and chapters to unfold. In adventures lie a lot of untold outcomes, but no matter what, let's continue to persist, pay heed, and prevail.

Turning Failures and Weaknesses into Opportunities

Northern Iloilo Christian School, Inc. (NICS) held its Bible Hour on Monday, August 10, 2026. With the theme “Turning Failures and Weaknesses into Opportunities.”

The Bible Hour discussion focused on God’s strength in our weakness, highlighting the three key Bible verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My stength is made perfect in weakness," Philippians 4:13 “I can do l things through Christ who strengthens me," and Psalm 73:26 “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." These verses reminded us that in moments of weakness it can also become opportunities to experience God’s grace, presence, and power.

“You may fail, but you are not a failure,” Speaker, Sir Evanlee Villar said, encouraging everyone to look at their struggles from a different perspective.

Sir Villar also discussed that every failure teaches lessons, such as humility, patience, dependence on God, and perseverance. One example our speaker shared during the discussion was the experience of learning to ride a bicycle. Before learning to balance, you may fall, bruises your knees and sometimes scrapes your knees, and even feel like giving up.

However, every fall teaches us something. Each attempt brings us closer to achieving balance and eventually riding with confidence. It reminded us that every fall taught us balance, failure works the same way.

Likewise, the failures people experience in school, personal life, and work can teach lessons that cannot always be learned through success alone, overnight. A failed examination or a mistake does not have to be the end of the story. What failure is not: your identity, the end of your story, or proof that God has given up on you. Failure may be painful and discouraging, but it can become the training ground for future success.

The Bible Hour reminded everyone that weakness is not a reason to be ashamed, and failure is not an identity. There are moments when people may feel tired, lost, or discouraged while fighting battles. Yet even in those moments, they are not alone. Always trust God through difficult times, learn from every mistake, and remember that God can use even the weakest moments to shape a stronger and more faithful person.
