Learning from Taipei

My husband and I just arrived from Taipei, Taiwan after a weeklong vacation there. Daily, we commuted by taxi to different interesting places.

During our stay there, I noticed that Taipei has three times more vehicles than Cebu City, but never did we experience any bumper-to-bumper traffic snarl there. We only stopped if there was a red light, but not once did we stop because of a traffic snarl.

Why can’t our traffic authorities go to Taipei and learn from them how they are doing things there and apply it in our cities?--Monita Lopez of Pusok, Lapu-Lapu City

Words of Jesus

If people are really interested and sincere in living a life of goodness, they just have to study the words of Jesus. Many people don’t like to read long stories but they may take an exception to the words of Jesus that are few in the New Testament. God the Father has commanded that we should listen to Jesus.

He said, “The truth will set you free.” What kind of freedom is achieved when we listen to Jesus’s words? Surely, freedom from deception, among others.

When we deceive, we become hypocrites and get confused. The only solution is to listen only to Jesus’s truths. Because he is the most important character in the Bible, recommended by God the Father himself to be listened to and obeyed.

We will be free from all evils if we listen to and obey Jesus’s teachings.

“So Jesus said to those who believed him, ‘If you obey my teaching you are really my disciples, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” ( John 8:31-32)--Chito E. Germino of Paknaan, Mandaue City
