Worship Innovations I By. Rev. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso


Worship Innovations

     

        People prepared to go to shopping malls, sports club houses and resorts or stay in their home watching tv on Sundays than going to church. Because of the word change, and there is no constant in this world many would agree that all things change. Church activities do not anymore appealing to this generation compared to world has, the generation becomes so short and everything becomes instant. When the internet flourished we realized how the Earth is so small and easy to communicate to other corner of the world in just finger tips. We are exposed to different cultures; traditions, philosophy theology and even worships style. Churches today are pressured to cope up with the needs of the people around including the congregation in order to attract members and worshipers in the church. Most of churches realized that people are not that attracted to gospel anymore and even going church, because media entertainments, club activities and sophisticated shopping malls and movie houses are better place than the church. The churches are now being pressure to innovate worship service. This is not bad idea however compromising the Biblical standard of worship is. Many times in the Bible especially in the Old Testament people of God designed innovation on worship in order to cope up with the same pressure as we have. This happen during Moses versus Kohrah, Judges time, Samuel, David, Ezra and many more. Only David innovated worship with music, “mas matindi” twenty four hours of music in the temple with 124 musicians each shift. Prophet Samuel has to innovate worship, because they don’t have the Ark of the Covenant as it was captured by Philistines during war with sons of Eli. Kohrah innovate worship because he thinks that they’re better than Moses. Ezra innovate worship because of confusion which style of worship should be followed since it was seventy years already they did not experience worship service in the temple. Do they need to follow Davidic style, Solomonic Style, Or Josiah as he is the closest to his generation? Innovation in worship happens almost every generation in the Bible. However, they did not compromise the truth when they innovate. They’re still consistent to the supreme will of God pertaining to worship. The ideas and dedication to worship did not change and this idea is none other than worshipping Jesus.

Philippine Christians Voted Gay Marriage By Default

By: Ptr. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso           Imagine in a few years from now, we Born Again Christians, Pastors including Roman Catholic Priest and any church leaders here in the Philippines officiating GAY MARRIAGE in our respected churches? Yes! You read it right, gay marriages in our churches, and by force will be implemented. What would you feel and what might your reaction is? My initial answer to that might be the same with yours, of coarse a big “NO WAY”! Yes it's a big “NO WAY”! Unfortunately the House Bill 634 is on its way to be approve, they're now on " Second Reading" a few or last readings then it will be a law. Last July the another law "Reproductive Bill 5043" was approved and by next year “SEX EDUCATION in grade Five will be implemented. Churches has divided and has different views regarding this, no wonder this Bill passed. Then a few years from now House Bill 634 will be implemented. What is House Bill 634 by the way? This is ANTI-DIS...

By: Rev. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso  Swimming in this beach gives you a unique experience: You will feel double temperature water and it's natural and together with exciting waves and natural beauty. When you are in the sea you feel the cold water on the top and under water is warm. This will provide a natural healing for the body, specially if you are stressed. Ang Badjangon usa ka anindot nga dapit sa Gingoog nga angay ampingan.Kini lang ang naghiusang Cold Spring by the Beach so far in the Philippines. You just drill your one meter tube then water comes out even in the shore or up to one hundred meter away from shore.This is one of the natural treasure which is trampled underfoot.   Bisan gani kini wala pabayre ug intrance pay sa tag-iya pero dili bout ipasabot nga libre pud ang atong pag labay ug sagbot sa bisan asang dapit. Dili usab bout ipasabot nga didto nato hugasan ang atong mga platong kinan-an, malibang ug mangihi sa dapit kung asa ang tubig ...

Tips on How to survive from Tsunami and Flash Flood

Image
               I noticed that there is no body gives us tips on how to survive on the currents of flood, since Philippines is a  country. Last night, as I watched the News, I saw a woman swept away  from the flood in Isabela. I think of myself, in my personal evaluation she has a very slim chances of surviving on the water based on how she position herself. Therefore, I am passionate to share my personal experiences on how I survived on different hydro currents. I was able to cross with about 200 meters distance with one-meter high waves, with extra ordinary under current when I was about four year old. This experienced made me a swimming champion in our place, and I was able also to rescue my neighbor drown in the water; it was a life and death situation. That’s what made me a “hero” in our place during my childhood days, probably about six year old? Since then, I had no fear in wat...
