Communion and Religiosity

Communion Sunday kanina sa Capiz Evangelical church. Hindi catch-y sa akin ang theme ng church about "SUCCESS". Ayaw ko kasi ang prosperity preaching. Jesus calls us the other way.The way of the cross. But thank God for people who are faithful to God's Word and delivered God's message to God's people the way He wanted it. The story is about Zaccheus.Jesus story with this little guy has also been my favorite. Praise God for new insights and affirmed reflections on Jesus' words,..."I came to seek and save which was lost." A lost thing for me is something that is primarily owned by someone and for some reasons was lost. It is valued, It would not called and considered "lost" if the owner would not bother to search for that thing. The speaker who was a woman and the Church missionary shared to us that this kind of being "lost" is the cause of sin that we lost our dignity as human,our capicity to reach to God is lost, our relationship to God, to other humans and God's creation is lost. (medyo mabigat na theology, but she just shared these reasons how lost are we) The message was really a WOW! Kakalasing. Amazing.
Then, Communion time. I'm not excited like this before. Sabik talaga ako magcommunion. Not that I feel so good before Him today, but I never felt this feeling before na sobrang excited and meaningful ang pagreremember sa body and blood of Jesus Christ.He is so good. 2 months ako hindi nakapagcommunion. Not that I'm pasaway,Nasa mga lugar lang ako kung saan ako nilead ng Lord. Apparently, Hindi ko naabutan ang makaattend sa church na may communion. And then yun nga, napaka Holy ang moment that time.I asked for forgiveness before our Lord before taking communion. What matters that time was that I am like a child na sobrang excited to have fellowship and meet her Father.
Then, kanina sa bahay, beside our apartment there's a catholic church.Lakas nga ng bell e. Medyo napasilip ako ano ginagawa ng mga tao,Tapos na ang misa.But i saw them praying.Pwede kong isipin na nag-e-SR sila (Spiritual Retreat), I'm humbled. They have reverence for the church.I pray may God grant their deepest desire, and that is, God would reveal Himself to them.Haha!Minsan dito palpak ang Protestants. Libangan manita ng church,Hindi na nakikita ang Diyos ng church.or nabublur lang sa kapalpakan ng kapatiran. Mahirap mag Unlearn minsan. I don't blame people who drifts away,Pero dapat bumalik rin sila sa stream.Stream of unity of the Body of Christ. But those who cause division sana mag-isipisip na.Bka ibang espiritu meron yun.hahaha!
sermon ko rin sa sarili ko ito.Galing talaga ni Lord. Tinuturuan pa rin Niya ako.
