August 4, I attended the Gospel Meeting at Malalinta,
San Manuel where brother Danny Danggalan is preaching. It was my first time to
go to that congregation. They have four speakers and all are in the morning.
The first speaker was brother Edgar Licodini and
he preached about “How to become a Christian”. He is from Bliss, Ilagan and
also preaching there. The lesson was to introduce the church and how to become
a member of the church of Christ.
The Second speaker was brother Gerald Ganela and
he shared “The New Creature”. He is from Rizal, Kalinga but preaching at San
Pedro, Rizal. A good encouraging lesson that we needed to accomplice as being a
child of God.
The Third Speaker was brother Jerome Forelo and
he preached about “Acts 8:26-39, He went his way rejoicing”. He is from here Tuguegarao
and both preaching here and Alibago, Enrile. The lesson shows that we need to
be rejoicing when our sins are forgiven by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is the greatest blessing that we received in this life.
The Last Speaker was brother Rody Gumpad and he
shared to us about “The true Church of Christ”. He is also a preacher here at
Tuguegarao. He showed the three dispensations of time and the different churches
of Christ that man built. But we all know that there is only one church of
Christ and that is what Jesus promised in Matthew 16:18.
After the lessons, we sung an invitation song and
we are happy that 8 precious souls went in front to confess their faith. We
baptized them in a near river and hopefully they will remain faithful until the
end.

August 5, in our Lord’s Day here at Tuguegarao,
we studied about “Destiny” in our bible study led by brother Jun Gumpad. And in
the sermon, brother Rody preached about “The Brazen Serpent and Jesus Christ”;
the similarity of what happened to the Israelites with us today.

At Palca, I preached to them about the
continuation of our lesson on “Why we need to fear God: Part 2”. I also shared
to them the lesson we studied in Tuguegarao about “Destiny” so that they will
also have an idea about it.
August 7, in our preachers bible study, we studied about "Mid-life Crisis" shared by brother Gerald Ganela. A very interesting lesson about what to expect and what to put away when we reach the age of 30 to 50. We needed to focus on serving the Lord but we need to remember that we also have a family to take care of. Another thing that we Filipinos often forget is that, we always keep on working hard but we often times forgot our obligations in our families. We will again study this lesson on December so that everyone of us will bring our wives, friends and other brethren so that they will have a good understanding on how we should handle our lives from loving God and obeying Him to doing our obligations for our families.
In the afternoon, we started to study the book of Acts. In chapter 1, brother Larry Guillermo shared his thoughts on it. We discuss about the Ascension of Jesus to choosing Matthias in exchange for Judas. I will be teaching Acts 20, but maybe it will already be next year. I have many time to prepare and hope it will be a fruitful lesson with the help of the Lord.
August 8, in our midweek service here at Tuguegarao, brother Rody shared to us "Proverbs 2". I will be teaching chapter 7 in a couple of months and hope I can share the moral thoughts of the chapter.
August 9, I answered in the radio program three questions from different texters. The first "If somewhat ask for forgiveness but continued on his sin, is he forgiven?" We all know that God never ceased on forgiving us but on our part, if we repent we need to have a godly sorrow and a changed way of life. Repentance is more than being sorry for one's sin. In Acts 26:20, the works worthy of repentance are those which stop sinning.
Second question is "Does Everything Happens God's will?" God has purpose in everything (Ecc. 3:1-8, 12:13) but it is not God's will that we sin (Rom. 3:23). Everything that happens is not God's will but He allows everything to occur, including our own choices.
Last question "Is God man or a woman?" The bible speaks of God as not a human being like on Num. 23:19, Job 9:32 and Ps. 50:21. The male gender is used to speak of God and never a female; this is what we call as anthropomorphic (giving human traits to non-human things). Jesus is God in the flesh, that is, God took upon Himself humanity (Jn. 1:1-18).
