THE WAY OF WISDOM

     Man fails miserably in his attempt to direct to his own path.Instead of acknowledging God and adhering to his directive,statues and commandments,many constantly violate His decrees.And man's greatest folly,resulting from His own corrupt mentality,is his rejection to God's every existence.The bible declares thus the PSALMS 14:1"The fool has said in his heart,'There is no God'.They are corrupt,They have done abominable works,There is none who does good".


     Man is suffering for having a foolish heart.Yet,in God's great compassion for man ,He is still trying to reach out to him to help him.This is what God declared:"I have led you in right paths.When you steps be hindered,And when you run,you will not stumble.Take firm hold of instruction,do not let go;Keep her,for she is your life".


    To emphasize the value of God's commandments,the bible uses many vivid descriptions:the Psalmist reffered\\\\\

DO YOUR BEST

      So that Gods blessings will continue to follow to every household,each members of the Christian family ought to constantly obey him.In view of this the Prophets Moses gave this reminder to the ancient Israelites,Thus "Then you and your son and your grandson will fear the Lord your God.You will obey all his Laws that I tell you,all the days of your life.And then you will have a longer life.....Keep these words in your heart that I am telling you today.Do your best to teach them to your children.Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you get up''.
      So timely is this reminder to Christian parent,their children,as well as their grandchildren to fear the Lord on all the days of their life, for ,obedience to Him is a lifetime commtiment.Thus,Iglesia ni Cristo parents are constantly reminded to do their best in teaching their children at all opportune times\.Parents ought to pass on their children the virtue

MERE SOJOURNERS AS WE ARE

                                       

                                             This earth is not our permanent home,
                                             That we ought to understand;
                                             For we are mere sojourners here,
                                             On our way to the promised land.


                                             Everything we have is borrowed --
                                             We do not own anything at all;
                                             Our strength?Our life?
                                             Yes,even our very soul!
  
                                             We owe them all to the Father,
                                              Who made things,great and small;
                                             Earth,sunshine,and raindrops,
                                             Causing leaves to sprout and fall.


                                             The air we breathe,the food eat --
                                             All these come from him:
                                             And what does He have in store for us?
                                             A bright future,not dim.


                                             For out of darkness He took us,
                                             His wondrous wisdom opened our eyes;
                                             Setting us free from the bondage of sin
                                             Made us see the trut,abhor the lies.


                                             Persecutions,notwithstanding,
                                             We stood our ground with much resolve;
                                             Through good and hard times we remain,
                                             CHURCH OF CHRIST members,faith unmoved!


                                             Now as we go on toward perfection--
                                             Marching our way to spiritual maturity;
                                             With a humble and contrite heart,
                                             Let us all bow our heads to our ALMIGHTY.
