OUCH ako sa ilang sinabi rito.. π But seriously, yung pagsisimula ng online church, revealed our true hearts.. When we have all the comfort, when we have more time, when we are not SEEN by people... are you still as active as before? π Time to evaluate ourselves. π
Social media and multimedia are meant to be helpers, and not a way to compromise the works of HIS Kingdom!

1. "I can watch it later, may replay. Tulog muna ako. ZzZzZzZ." I prophesy to the dry bones, wake up, stand up, be alive! Amen!
2. "Part ako ng recording team. Napakinggan ko na ang worship at ang word. Pwede na akong di makinig. Alam ko na yan." Mag worship ka ulit. Makinig ka sa preaching ulit baka may revelation pa si Lord sa'yo at para mas tumatak ito sa puso mo.
3. Watching live while chatting someone. Kaya ko mag multi-tasking. Akala mo nanunuod ng live, nag scrolling lang pala. Amazing! Dapat love mo muna si Lord bago si neighbor. Sige ka, magseselos si Lord nyan.
4. "Hindi maganda ang videography. Ang hina ng boses." Hindi na nagworship, nag observe na lang. Mag-apply ka kaya as Director or Production Head para makuha mo yong gusto mong mangyari.
5. "Nag live ang church pero mas maganda yong sa ibang church, doon muna ako manunuod." Wow. SUPPORT left the group. Alam mo yong ibang church, wala silang capacity to do online service. Appreciate mo na man ang effort ng church para makapag online service.
6." Di muna ako mag ta-tithes or mag o-offering, pag bukas ng church na lang." Wow. Naka quarantine ang tithes and offering. So on-hold muna ang blessing from God? Ganon? Okay.
7. "Iba pa rin talaga kapag sa church ang service." Hey, the church is YOU baka nakalimutan mo! Hindi building ang church. Ikaw ang church!
8. "Wala akong wifi. Wala akong data. Di ako makapanood ng online service." Sure ka? Kaya mo nga magpaload ng pang ML, pang 1Gb data, pang Youtube pero pang church wala? Nahiya yong crush mo na lage mong ka videocall. (slow clap 3x)
(I'm sure the list goes on. Kaya add mo yong observation mo sa comment section baka may na miss ako πππ)
How can we be so excited to come back to church and not get excited and participate during online church? Join, participate, get involve during the online worship service.
The only difference between offline church and online church is your RESPONSE. Your response always matter. It will affect your growth. It will gauge your heart. It will test your spirit.
P.S.
Pasalamatan mo ang production team na nag-effort para makapag online service. Di madali yan. Maraming oras na preparation and adjustments. Binigay nila yong best nila para lang makapag-church ka kasi inaalala nila yong spirtual life mo.
