From the pulpit

Connected to His house.

“Hindi natin ihihiwalay ang ating sarili, ang ating hanapbuhay, o ang ating mga plano sa buhay na ito, para sa gawain ng ating Panginoon.

You connect yourself to the house of God,

para ang pagpapala ng Panginoon ay dadaloy pababa sa iyong hanapbuhay, sa iyong pamilya, sa iyong asawa at mga anak.

Kapag kayo’y pinagpapala, huwag ninyong kalilimutan na pagpalain din ang tahanan ng ating Panginoon.”
