While the global population celebrated Christmas, some Filipinos living in Iligan and Cagayan De Oro City were trying to pick up their pieces.

Effects of Sendong are whacking, massive, and disappointing.
While victims of Sendong are still waiting for some hope and assistance, we in our church, the CHURCH OF CHRIST, continue to fulfill our duties to our Almighty Father.
On December 17th, 2011, Saturday, we were in the choir loft. It was our Thanksgiving Day. While we were singing songs of praises to our Almighty Father in Heaven, the TRUE LIVING GOD, typhoon Washi (Sendong) started to hit these cities, Iligan and Cagayan De Oro.

Many things happened in 2011. Many things were to be done. Many events were destined to occur. We couldn't say, "NO" or "STOP".
This world continues to move on, revolve, and evolve. All men need to work, and need to survive until this world comes to its annihilation.
While others sin, others try to be holy. While others are merry, others become lonely. This world is not gonna change for the better. It will become worse and worse. As the bible states:
"
Psalm 102:25-27
New International Version (NIV)
25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,
and your years will never end."
"
Isaiah 24:19
New International Version (NIV)
19 The earth is broken up,
the earth is split asunder,
the earth is violently shaken."
"
Isaiah 24:20
New International Version (NIV)
20 The earth reels like a drunkard,
it sways like a hut in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion
that it falls—never to rise again."
"
Isaiah 51:6
New International Version (NIV)
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment
and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation will last forever,
my righteousness will never fail."
"
Matthew 5:18
New International Version (NIV)
18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
"
Matthew 24:3
New International Version (NIV)
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and
what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
And so in this writing, I would like to remind every one of the coming BIG destruction. All the things that we see are just "signs", "signs" that this Earth is gonna come to its end while others are sleeping, working, drinking, marrying, sinning, studying, and many more, as well as, worshiping.
Jesus Christ will come like a thief...........no one knows when.......
Jesus Christ will come like flash floods......no one knows when they will strike..........................BE READY!
