"WHAT IS WORSHIP?"

WORSHIP is an often discussed subject and many books have been written telling us what it is suppose to be. In this discussion, I stop merely accepting what other people say it is and begin saying what I feel it is. Worship for me is personal and therefore concerns what I can feel about my God. For a while, I will refrain from quoting verses to avoid circular logic but rather refer directly to my personal relationship with God. Deep in my heart, this is the meaning of worship.

“YOU, feeling God and acknowledging His reign in you. GOD, feeling you and declaring His Kingship of you.”

FEELING GOD, means accepting His presence and existence. Is there a God? Yes, there is a God who must be without beginning and no end. An Eternal God who created the universe and began Man’s time and entered into it by creating man in His own image.
This feeling begins with you and connects you to God and should never be severed. This is what faith is, never cutting your connection with God no matter what happens in your life.
Why can’t this feeling end? Because when God created you, He not only created you in His own image but made you a LIVING SOUL by breathing into you His SPIRIT. There is a part of God in you so your feeling of Him should never end. Rather, could never end, because whether you are aware of Him or not He is in you.

ACKNOWLEDGING HIS REIGN, means accepting that He rules your life. It is not you who lives but He who lives in you. When you pray, when you enter His temple and His presence, it is not any purpose that drives you but rather the Holy Spirit that powers you to overcome all things and achieve great things for Him. You were created so that God can overcome this world through you. He has no other way but you. Accepting this and His will for you is worship.

GOD FEELING YOU, means He rejoices that you have come to worship Him. He welcomes you to His flock within His Church where He is at door. He says come so that He can feel your presence.

DECLARING HIS KINGSHIP OF YOU, means God saying YOU ARE MINE and the devil cannot touch you. And as He sees you worshipping Him, He rejoices and accepts your worship.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!


Attached is a picture of LANCE MALACHI LIMPIN FILIO nicknamed ELI.

This is now the time to thank all of you for your prayers and to some of you for the financial help. OUR GOD IS A WONDERFUL AND MIRACULOUS GOD WHO RE-GAVE A NORMAL HEART TO ELI. He was operated on last November 8th to revert his red and blue blood arteries to normal and is now a bouncing normal baby boy surprising even the staff of Philippine Heart Center with his quick recovery. Thank you all for the prayers.

ELI showed us the true meaning of FAITH. Let us all continue praying for Lance and Nikki in their struggle to make both ends meet for their Million Peso Baby. GLORY BE TO GOD!

Because Christ lives,

Pastor Galying & Lucy, Children, grandchildren including the newly-hearted Eli.

BUC WELCOMES NEW YEAR 2008












We welcome God's New Year, not with any lucky charm, but with Jesus in our Hearts.

Eccl 3:1-8
3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
KJV
