Gospel Meeting at Catarauan, Amulung, Cagayan
Brethren at Catarauan Church of Christ at Catarauan, Amulung invited us to be a part of their gospel meeting this day. We have to travel along rough terrain to be with the brethren but then again the bad roads and the distance will not hinder us to be a part of this meeting where we are able to study more the words of God and to encourage each other to continue in fighting for our faith. Brother Jun Antonio is the hardworking preacher here. Brother Gerald Ganela (preascher of San Pedro Church of Christ) is the first speaker and he preached about "Doing God's Will", he explained that we are to do everything according to God's pattern because if we do things not according to God's will we will received a just punishment. Then brother Rody Gumpad (preacher at Metro Tuguegarao Church and Minagbag Church of christ) taught us about "What God Hath Joined Together"; he explained that according to God's plan 1) a husband is joined with a wife, 2) faith goes with works, 3) church with Christ, and 4) baptism joined with salvation. Though there were no baptisms in this meeting we can still say that it is successful for those who attended had the chance to strengthen their faith and to encourage one another to continue contending earnestly for the faith.
