In my family, worshiping is a very normal scene. I had been to different INC (Iglesia Ni Cristo) churches since i was four and from that day, I never stopped attending services (unless I'm sick or there's a very important event in school).
I'm currently a choir member, another reason why I can't miss a single service in my life. The last lesson we had (Oct. 5, 2013/Saturday) was about why is the INC called as the "Nation of God". I discovered that the INC was declared as a church in July 24, 1914 and surprisingly, it was the day World War II broke out. I discovered God's goodness to Israel when they traveled in the desert of Egypt. In Romans 16:16, the name of our church was written.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the church/nation so obviously, His body/church should be called as Church of Christ. It's the English translation of INC. With these things in my mind, I became more faithful in my church and I kind of felt more secure.Every time I go to church, I feel His presence right there, blowing to my face (Not the air conditioner. If you're thinking of some foreign wind blowing to my face but I feel it in my body after ten seconds I think and I'm still referring to the air conditioner). All of us are sinners, and I'm not cleaning my slate or what they say, "Hugas kamay" whenever I pray to God. I admit it, forgive myself and the rest follows. I'm still in the process of purifying my soul by trying to pay for the sins I've done in the sense I help people, give shares of my money to God, being kind to everyone and trying not to curse. I admit it. And I had forgiven myself. So, the rest follows.
I thank God for all of the things, good, bad, happy, sad etc. because I know He has a plan.
Let's never forget God because He didn't forgot to wake us up this day
