"I MUST BE A FAITHFUL STEWARD OF GOD’S PROVISION IN MY INVOLVEMENT."
PROVISION IN INVOLVEMENT
This past week will be definitely one unforgettable moment for us. Winds and lots of rain resulted to calamity and uncomfortable situation to many including some of our church people. I just thank God for His protection to our church compound. We can still praise God Who is truly good because He allows circumstances like these to happen with a reason. First, it makes people realize the power of God. No manmade structure with the combined efforts of human ability and strength can overpower God’s might. Second, it softens the heart of the people. When we are hit with tragedy, our utmost response is to call upon God and ask for His mercy and help. It then creates an open door for people to give a good response to the gospel and to church invitation. Lastly, it creates urgency for Christians to be more zealous in serving God. Calamities should make us realize that everything here is temporal and only what we do for Christ will last. Our involvement in God’s work is much more needed now. May our compassion, prayer, and burden for lost souls grow more. Let the Word of God strengthen us today as He uses us this week in helping others!

PAGBIBIGAY SA GAWAIN NG DIYOS Beata Agustin
Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di kalugihan… Ito’y paraan ng pagtanggap ng tunay na kayamanan Bawat perang sa pangangaral ng Ebanghelyo’y nakalaan Ay tutubong mahigit sa bangko ng kalangitan!!! Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di nakakahinayang… Ito’y panlaban sa pagtangkilik sa mga pag-aaring kinakalawang Bawat kaloob para sa misyonerong hinirang Ay pinagpapalang lubos kahit may humaharang!!! Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di lang sa iilan nababagay… Ito’y pakikilahok ng lahat upang napapahamak ay sagipin sa impyernong hukay Bawat kamay na sa naliligaw ay umaakay Ay tinataguriang dakila sa harap ng kaaway na talunan sa kanyang lagay!!! Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di pumipili ng panahon… Ito’y pagpupunyagi sa gitna ng habagat o bagyong sa kahirapa’y bumabaon Bawat tulong para abutin kaluluwang sa kasalana’y gumon Ay kinikilalang biyaya’t sapat na makatutugon. Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di papuri ng tao ang hangarin… Ito’y pakikiisa sa simbahang nais ang Panginoo’y luwalhatiin Bawat oras na ginugugol upang kaligtasan ng iba’y ipanalangin Ay itinuturing na mahalaga kaya laging bigyan-pansin!!! Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di sapilitang ipinatutupad… Ito’y paghimok sa Kristyanong pag-ibig sa puso’y ilahad Bawat paglilingkod na may galak at pasasalamat ang saad Ay gagantimpalaang tiyak sa pagpaparangal na lantad!!! Pagbibigay sa gawain ng Diyos ay di ikinahihiya… Ito’y pagpapatunay sa pagsunod ni Kristo bilang Kanyang pinalaya Bawat pagkakataong ginugugol para ibahagi ang pananampalataya Ay magiging makabuluhan sa hatid nitong balitang masaya.

A Successful
Working Singles'
Fellowship with the Pastor
T
he term "fellowship" in the New Testament is used to mean "share together, or participate together." Building harmony and camaraderie within each Sunday school group seems to be a daunting task as it necessitates that students first must develop personal bonds. Not so for the combined Working Ladies and Men's Fellowship which was held last Sunday, August 6 at the 2nd Floor of the Old Building. The event has allowed the singles to have good time together with good graces from Pastor Ed and family and their respective Sunday school teachers, while also exalting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His work. Planning and facilitating the programs and games have been a blessing
and a delight since the members are far from being shy and had easy time connecting; thanks so much for the wonderful presentations, songs and skit put together by both men and ladies. The icebreaking games initiated are a great way to become acquainted with the brethren as well. The get-together had a relaxed atmosphere yet dynamic enough to inspire the singles to open up. The Bible tells us that we ought to have fellowship with the righteous. The lively and spirit-filled personalities have helped ignite group participation by mingling crowd and enthusiastically participating in the activities. The Word of God exhorted by Dr. Ed Laurena has provoked the singles unto good work... John 9:4 “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” The Philippian brethren were obligated to be concerned about spiritual matters, to partake and share together in spiritual activities as the above fellowship in CBBC has done…Philippians 2:1-2 “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”. May this and the next fellowship of each Sunday School group be an inspiration towards furthering involvement and joyfulness in God’s Work. Together, let us work the works...

Baptist Youth Fundamentalist @ 1:30 PM Maaari Mong Matiyak ang Langit Ang sabi ni Hesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: walang makapupunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko.” Juan 14:6 Wala nang iba pang makapagliligtas sa iyo mula sa impiyerno. Magtiwala ka kay Hesus ngayon! Roma 6:23 “Kung ipahahayag ng iyong bibig na si Hesus ay Panginoon at mananampalataya ka nang buong puso na Siya’y muling binuhay ng Diyos, ikaw ay maliligtas”. Roma 10:9

Nagsisisi po ako sa aking mga kasalanan. Tinatanggap ko po si Kristo Hesus sa aking puso bilang aking Tagapagligtas. Amen.
