PKA 07 Buong Pusong Umawit

 

Buong Pusong Umawit

“16 Ang salita ni Cristo'y hayaan ninyong lubusang manatili sa inyong puso. Turuan ninyo at paalalahanan ang isa't isa nang may buong karunungan. Buong puso kayong umawit ng mga salmo, mga himno at mga awiting espirituwal, nang may pagpapasalamat sa Diyos. 17 At anuman ang inyong gagawin o sasabihin, gawin ninyong lahat sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus at sa pamamagitan niya'y magpasalamat kayo sa Diyos Ama.”

-Colosas 3:16-17-

 

Parte ng buhay ng isang mananampalataya ay ang umawit ng papuri sa Diyos. Kung babalikan natin ang mga pangyayari sa Lumang Tipan ng Biblia mayroong mga itinalaga na tagapamahala para sa mga awitin sa templo ng Diyos (1 Cronica 6:31-32). Sa aking kinalakihan, ang pag-awit ng himno ay parte ng pagsamba. At ang pinakauna kong naawit noong ako’y bata pa ay ang “Jesus Loves Me.” Mas napalalim at napalawak pa ang aking pagpapahalaga sa musika sa simbahan simula ng ako ay pumasok sa ministeryo ng pag Diya-Diyakonesa. Parte ng aking pagsasanay ang tumugtog ng himno, at iba pang awiting espirituwal, at maghanda ng mensahe ng awitin. Ngunit minsan ako ay biglang napaisip at tinatanong ang sarili na, “Ganito na lang ba ang aking gagawin?” Salamat sa Salita ng ating Panginoon na nagbigay sa akin ng katiyakan mula ng mabasa ko ang Efeso 5:19 at ang Colosas 3:16-17.

                Lahat ng mga kanta na ating inaawit ay hindi lamang simpleng mga awitin kundi ito ay sagrado at makabuluhan sapagakat ito ay base sa Salita ng Diyos. Ang mga ito ay nagbibigay mensahe sa bawat tagapakinig at nagbibigay papuri sa ating Diyos na dakila. Kung ikaw ay parte ng ministeryo ng musika sa simbahan ito ay isang paalala na pagbutihin ang paglilingkod at buong pusong umawit, buong pusong sumayaw, at buong pusong tumugtog para sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos. Ito ay isang pagkakataon ng pasasalamat sa Diyos sapagkat Siya ang pinagmulan ng sining at musika.

HIV Awareness (1) Empowering Lives: Bridging Hope Through Compassionate Care (Engaging in HIV and AIDS Prevention, Care, and Treatment

  The Field Practicum Class joined the seminar about HIV and AIDS Awareness held on March 14-15, 2024 at Wesleyan University-Philippines in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. We traveled almost five hours going there from Taytay, Rizal. The seminar was facilitated by the health workers, faculty, and staff of WUP, the Association of Positive Women Advocates, Inc.

The seminar enlightened me and made an impact on how I should look at the issue of HIV and AIDS in the Philippines and in the world. I...

Sermon: Jesus Christ, the Power and Wisdom of God

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 "As if you know everything." I still remember when I was in junior high school, that was the line of my English teacher every time the class was getting noisy,  and no one was listening to her. Can we assess ourselves if there’s a possibility that we can know everything? Is our knowledge or wisdom enough to help us and save us from all trials of this world? Can we rely on our knowledge or wisdom? Whom knowledge and wisdom do we seek and need? The message of our scripture in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 is about Jesus Christ the power and wisdom of God.            1. We need the wisdom of God to be saved from the penalty of sin called death.    How can we assess if someone’s wisdom is worth believing?              In this modern world, there is a saying “to see is to believe.” Some might ask for evidence or rational reason to believe. Apostle Paul wrot...

In this Life, We've been blessed to be a blessing.

 Joy and overflowing grace are what I'm feeling right now.  I want to testify how generous and caring God is. It all began when I ask God to help me with everything I need. In particular, I ask God to help me in my studies. With Faith, I have received what I ask for in prayer. In my past experiences, I had applied for a scholarship many times and I did not get anything. At present, opportunities are gradually opening to me now. I have received educational assistance that is more than enough to support my study- God provides.  Today, our deaconess' song choice for Sunday Service is '' Blessed to be a blessing". Truthfully, we've been blessed to be a blessing. Everything that we have comes from above. All are from God. As we receive something, let thanksgiving be our first thing to do. The moment that I acknowledge God for what I have received, I have learned about giving back and sharing. As I said, God gives more than enough; it's overflowing. The joy that ...
