Last Sunday the speaker at church introduced us to the CPS Test as a way of evaluating our Christian lives. It sounded like a complex model such as the Briggs-Meyer test but actually turned out to be very simple, simple if you understood Tagalog at least.
The CPS test stood for "Christian pala sya!" which by listening to the context, explanation and then looking in the dictionary all confirmed this was whether someone who knew you would be surprised if they learnt from someone else that you were a Christian "S/he's a Christian, really?!" I thought "pala" just meant spade like in Spanish and it is one of the words that is the same in Spanish and Tagalog in that definition but "pala" also means "an expression of surprise"
The question was would anyone notice that you had faith in a living, loving and holy God as you lived your life day to day? Or would they only know if they saw you "playing" religion at certain hours on a Sunday. Not a false, superior, holier than thou, religious speak faith but a real one that effects every part of our lives.
