Know When to Speak
““Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew 7:6 WEB)
When a person is closed-minded to hearing the truth, there is no way you can convince them though debates and arguments.
Be led by the Holy Spirit on when to speak, and when to restrain your tongue. Don’t be controlled by your emotions. A loose tongue comes from being driven by emotions.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit garrisons your heart with His peace even when you are in the midst of being scolded or persecuted. He empowers you to be like Jesus who was silent and at peace, even when being accused by all the religious leaders in front of Pontius Pilate.
Godly wisdom and truth are like precious pearls. Don’t show them to people when they are not ready to see their value.
Only God can give you the right word at the right time, so that your words can find their target like an arrow hitting its mark. Such words cut the heart, showcase God’s glory, and bring the strongest of men to tears. When pride is broken, God’s goodness can enter and bring one to repentance. Be led by the Spirit!

Why are these five former Prime Ministers so united on this point? It is because they know that our moral authority in the world comes from our commitment to the rule of law and keeping our word. We rightly condemn China when it rides roughshod over the treaties dictating the future of Hong Kong. We say it signed them in good faith, that it is going back on its word and that it cannot be trusted. And his defence? “Don’t worry; I can’t be trusted either.” What will China say to us from now on? What will it throw back at us—that we, too, do not keep to international law?

Sharing my recipe on IGTV since most of you haven’t seen the full YouTube video & it’s important for me to keep spreading the food I grew up on!
The irony is that while editing this, I was reckoning with the fact that I’m generally not considered “Filipino” by those in the Philippines even though I’m so proud of my heritage 😕
I was just called an entitled “pseudo-Filipino” in the comments of the last post by @barkadadc, a white-owned wine bar that got backlash for naming itself Barkada, a meaningful Tagalog word for deep friendship. They were serving wine & charcuterie instead of any Filipino items with no intention of promoting Filipino culture beyond their name. In their words to @eater_dc, they “didn’t want to call it posse or homies or clique” so they went with Barkada because “it helped that bar is in the word” 🤨
Countless Filipino-Americans (Fil-Ams) pressured them to agree to change their name (though that name change has yet to happen 🧐). I personally saw it as stealing a great name from a potential business that would actually promote Filipino culture, like @barkadahollywood has done in LA. But Filipinos largely condoned keeping the name, calling Fil-Ams overly sensitive and touting that they’re “proud” to see non-Filipinos “spreading our culture” even though this business was NOT actually doing so with their $17 glasses of Spanish wine and cheese plates. They were appropriating, not appreciating.
I got into debates (and welcome more below) because I couldn’t understand why Filipinos were so adamantly defending white men appropriating our language when they could instead support the name change, which would open the door for a Barkada DC that HONORS our culture. So consider this a call to my fellow Fil-Ams in the DC area to capitalize on this media hype and open the Barkada DC the community deserves 🙏🏽
Filipino food is not that widespread. We still have a chance to open authentic places to educate people before our cuisine gets bastardized the way others have. I know I’m going to keep doing my part to share the food I grew up on, and I hope you all try out a recipe yourself to learn to love it too ❤️
