With rejoicing, I praise God for giving us another fresh new year to live and serve Him! Happy new year to all of you!

I thank God for all the victories that He had bestowed us last year. I am so grateful for the members who faithfully served and labored for God. Truly, I praise the Lord for people like you, who in the midst of testing and hardships, have decided to use God’s Word as your strength to stand up and still be victorious for God.

As God has given us another year, I am so excited of our new theme “Resolved to Involve” which is anchored upon the book of Nehemiah. As one team, Nehemiah and his company decided to involve themselves in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. Though there were critics and discouragements, they fi nished the wall with God’s help. I do believe that if all members of our church will be determined to involve this year in the best they can, we can accomplish greater things for God. We have our Pastors and Workers’ Conference and Anniversary month coming up with many more events which provide each one opportunities to involve. I challenge you, dear members of this church; let us be united to have a single decision to resolve to involve.

My family and I love you in the Lord! Let us have a Spirit-fi lled 2012!

Resolved to Involve in 2012(Introduction for the Yearly Theme)

Nehemiah 4:1-23

I. The power for involvement comes from being always plugged in the energy of prayer. A. Nehemiah in his time knew the power that comes from an answered prayer. B. Believers in our time must know the power that comes from an answered prayer. II. The power for involvement comes from being adamantly (steadfastly) pulled into the energy of the preserved word of the living God. A. God’s counsel will stand fi rm amidst pressures and persecutions. B. God’s counsel must be the basis of the faith of God’s people for today. III. The power for involvement comes from being adequately prepared through the energy of a personal close relationship with God. A. Believers who plan to involve must prepare to have a close relationship with God. B. Believers who have power with God have power with men.

The following statistics on church attendance is taken by the Statistical Abstract of the United States in May 1994.

Americans who claim membership in a congregation: 69% Percent who attend worship services in a given week: 40%

These fi gures even get lower & lower for the past 16 years. JUST THINK ABOUT IT! If this happened to America, a nation that was founded on God's Word, it is absolutely not impossible for that to happen here in the Philippines, specially among fundamental Baptist churches. Let us always be reminded of what the Bible says in Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

Brethren, we should not allow empty pews in our church services. We should fi ll them up by bringing visitors and by being consistent in our church attendance.

“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD

shall fl ourish in the courts

of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they

shall be fat and fl ourishing;

IMPIYERNO

Maaari Mong Matiyak ang LangitAng sabi ni Hesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: walang makapupunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko.” Juan 14:6

Wala nang iba pang makapagliligtas sa iyo mula sa impiyerno. Magtiwala ka kay Hesus ngayon! Roma 6:23

“Kung ipahahayag ng iyong bibig na si Hesus ay Panginoon at mananampalataya ka nang buong puso na Siya’y muling binuhay ng Diyos, ikaw ay maliligtas”. Roma 10:9

1. Aminin mo na ikaw ay isang makasalanan. Roma 3:102. Talikuran mo ang iyong kasalanan (magsisi). Gawa 17:303. Manampalataya ka na si Kristo Hesus ay namatay para sa iyo, nalibing at nabuhay namagmuli. Roma 10:9-104. Sa pamamagitan ng panalangin, tanggapin mo si Hesus sa iyong puso bilang iyong Tagapagligtas. Roma 10:13

Manalangin ka ng ganito:Panginoon, ako po ay isang makasalanan atnangangailangan ng kapatawaran. Nanampalataya po ako na nadanak ng dugo ni Hesus at Siya ay namatay sa krus para sa akin. Tinatalikuran ko na po ang aking mga kasalanan. Tinatanggap ko po si Kristo Hesus sa aking puso bilang aking Tagapagligtas. Amen.

"Kung tinanggap mo si Hesus bilang iyong Tagapagligtas, ito na ang simula ng iyong bagong buhay kay Kristo." Roma 8:1

Ngayon:1. Basahin mo ang iyong Biblia araw-araw upang makilala pa ng lubusan si Kristo Hesus. 2. Makipag-usap ka sa Diyos sa panalangin araw-araw. 3. Manambahan ka sa isang simbahan na pinapangaral si Kristo at ang Biblia ang tanging pamantayan.4. Ibahagi sa iba si Kristo Hesus.
