Sunday Worship in Flooded Church

  1. Last Sunday was a first in my life-, so with the rest of those who gathered for the morning worship service at the Tagoloan Assembly of God Community Church. Rain was pouring almost daily through out that week. Our average attendance for Sunday morning services is 60. That morning it was cut in half. It had been raining since early dawn. When we arrive at church we had to take off our shoes before we got off the jeep, for the whole area was flooded with water ankle-deep. Murky flood water was everywhere: in the sanctuary and the pastor's quarters. It was fun time for the kids! They seem to enjoy the unusual church environment. We had to endure the cold flood water barefoot. The platform was dry and the praise and worship leader could still freely move behind the pulpit without creating a swishing sound of water to accompany the lively tempo of praise songs. Worship service was held as usual: singing, praying, and listening to the preaching of God's word. Worshiping in ankle-deep water was just a small sacrifice to make when we consider the supreme sacrifice that our loving heavenly Father made when "He gave His one and only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)."

The Timelessness of the Christian message of Redemption

      We live in a rapidly changing world. In a dizzying speed we have been transported into this cyber age. We enjoy gadgets that we never dreamed about, say, some twenty years ago. But human nature remains the same. Modernity has not provided us with a peaceful world to live in. We still carry an empty heart. A satisfying and peaceful life still eludes us. Each new day does not bring us a promise of a blessed tomorrow.  I believe that mankind has not outgrown the Christian message of redemption to make it irrelevant now. Only by the power of our loving God could we, even today, experience and enjoy the divine product of peace and redemption by accepting Jesus Christ into our heart as our Lord and Savior.

       If you need peace in your heart now, receive Jesus Christ into your heart. Pray this short prayer, "  Dear Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Please forgive me. Come into my heart now, and live in me. Teach me your ways each day. Bless my life, and make me a blessing to others. Amen."
     
         Find a find a Christian church in your area and be a part of the community of Christian believers where you can grow in your new-found faith. Secure a Bible to read and be able to find instructions therein how to live the Christian life. GOD BLESS!
