W3Milleniunnium UMC: Mission Month

Huddle up! Huddle up! Let's us go together to plant the seed that saves - Seed of Faith in Christ.

Planting the seed of faith in Christ is the best form of planting ever. Be it known that a small sprout of faith can lift up a mountain as Christ said it so. Even how tough that mountain is, faith can move that in Jesus Christ mighty name.

Our benefits in planting.

The beauty. When God created all things, he was pleased on what he has done. Meaning there is beauty in planting. Like those of the fields, when everything is green, it is pleasing to the eyes of the farmer.

The joy out from beauty. A farmer will surely have joy in his heart when he saw things are happening accordingly. A green fields can catch up all passerby that makes them ask how such thing happen. And so, the proud farmer himself can tell how he did such thing with a great joy in his heart.

The opportunity to be known. Like a farmer who grew a good crops, a church that goes to mission to plant a seed of faith in Christ has the greater opportunity to be known. You'll be known not just because of your skills and talents but because of your faithfulness of doing what has been told you to do by your Master.

The abundance from the harvest. A planter deserves reward. The harvest always promise abundance. Those who plant sparingly will reap sparingly. Those who plant abundantly will reap abundantly.

One thing is sure - you'll get a reward whenever you plant. We will live abundantly if we plant. So let's huddle up and let us start planting the seed of faith that saves.

We are God's Steward. Are we?

Who's to blame about the flood?

It is a natural calamity.

Forty two [42] years or almost a half of a century that Manila never suffered such furious flooding. Perhaps its a good sign of change not just in Manila but to the country as a whole. There are three points of ideas that plays in my mind while watching the flood updates in Manila. With all the freedom, let me share it to you readers.

1. The congestion within its drainage system. Our irresponsibility of dealing with our biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbages is now telling us "what a shame to all of you." Itapon nyo ng wasto ang basura nyo! Don't just throw it anywhere.

2. The government corruption. Thinking of 42 years...ohhhh people...can make you sick. You know why? Multi-corporations can build tall buildings in two years costing a billion or more. But the country can't make a good drainage system like in Singapore for 42 years? What happen? Where are those funds intended for development?

3. The illegal cutting of trees in our forest. Our trees has the great role in nature. But since we are after development, good landscape, etc... our trees takes all the risks. Well, no more of them hold this kinda phenomenal flooding. So, here we are awaken by great aqua vista along our roads, houses, and establishments.

Whats next to this kind of horror? This devastation of metaphysical evil can be prevented yet we let it happen because of our irresponsibility. We are God's steward or should I say, God Good Steward. Our role is to keep this world a better place to live in. But we are not making it as it should be. I wonder if we learn from this? If we haven't learn anyway, God's hands will make it once more for us till we learn.
