``...there was nothing left but to take them...as our fellowmen for whom Christ also died``

-          US President McKinley

                I was imagining where would we be if it were not God`s work to bring salvation to us through Americans. Their attempt to bring the faith especially by distributing the Bibles into the island was an effort, which was made successful as we can see the fruit right now. Maybe, we are still one of those unreached people groups, who have not yet known Jesus Christ and would follow Him with all of their life. Probably, were still walking in darkness and devoting ourselves to pagan beliefs and practices. In the same manner, I was also wondering where would I together with my family would be if are living without God----His love, joy, peace, grace, mercy, and favor. What would be our situations look like? All this years, I was pondering that thought. And all that years as well I want to give God a bucketful of thanks for what He has done. Delightfully, we are now considered as a sending country, where Filipino missionaries will go to other countries or localities in order to reach out those who are lost and in need of Jesus---our Lord and Savior. So, glory and honor be given back to our Almighty God aloe forevermore.

            It’s very encouraging to know an individual who courageously stand up for the truth. Nowadays, in our society, it’s seldom to witness people that would show great courage to oppose wrong acts and dismiss the thought of the consequences of doing such thing. As I have noticed, people just allow others pay them big amount of money just to shut their mouth in speaking. Or, some would be defeated of fear whenever their life was threatened. Can’t deny, human as we are, we would do the same thing because we are afraid to die. Few might allow themselves be treated unjustly by those who are seated on higher positions in the community in order to cover the truth. In addition, we would be disappointed of seeing those, who we are thinking as holy and one who would supposed to lead us in the right path, advocate indulgences to be happened. In fact, they were the ones who have read God`s Word. They already know that the pardon of sin is not through indulgences but by the grace through faith in Christ alone. But for the sake of their goals, they have led people astray especially those uneducated peasants, who have thought the teachings as right. Thankfully, there was an individual, who bravely protested against such acts that I believe God used him to enlighten the mind of many.
