Anglican Church in the Philippines (Traditional) Inc. : Celebrating 2nd Sunday of Advent at St. Joseph the worker Parish in Rizal / ACPT

Celebrating 2nd Sunday of Advent at St. Joseph the worker Parish in Rizal / ACPT

The Eucharist is what connects us to God and to one another as well His creations in which the bread and wine became a conduit of His presence.

Through the blood of Christ we are redeemed from Sin and give us the access to His presence and come as Sons of God!

Its a heavenly acts that one in a time His creation becomes one with Him in the liturgy!

Bread from the Masters Table

Gospel of St. Luke 6:17, 20-26 (NIV) 17He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon, THE BEATITUDES 20 Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. 24“But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. 25Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets. From verse 20-23 Are what attitudes was to be expected from the Blessed! Woes for those whose lifestyle and attitude are in contrast from the life of the kingdom of God.

God is NOT dead but very much alive!

There was a song sang in the past that goes like this: God is not dead, He is alive! It's very true because there is NO death in and with God, but life, light and Spirit. When one stops believing, that God is the author of life and light then really death will come and take over the soul of that person, the last time you'll see the person is in much worse condition. Molestation and harassment is a grievous offense to the Church of Christ specially done by clergy who are supposedly protectors and examples of lifestyle in the Church from inside and outside attacks from the evil one. Last days were describes from the scriptures as perilous, hard and dangerous times, people will be much lovers of oneself rather than God, here you'll see a different attitudes and worsening behavior of people that contributes to worsen the scenario and hardship of life. Instead of helping to lighten the burden they add more burden to worsen the situation and convince you that they are doing the right thing. Just look around and see it for yourself. The Church was called out from the world to be the light and salt of the earth not be a dung that manure-rized and fertilized the earth with blood, human cadavers by evil. New hope is coming as Christ coming is at hand. Let us work in unity to redeeming the time and bring more souls closer back to God!

Naniniwala ka ba sa Kasabihan?

Hindi natutulog ang Diyos? Tutoo ba o Hindi? Natutulog ba sya dahil napagod/ o ang talagang ibig sabihin nito ay pinalampas ba nya sa kanyang kaalaman and ang mga HINDI MAKATARUNGAN gawain ng tao. This talks about the Justice of God. Dahil ang Diyos na ito ay puno-puno ng kapanyarihan, kakayahan, katalinuhan at hawak nya sa kanyang mga kamay ang oras, panahon at buhay.

Siya ang may akda ng Oras, Panahon at Buhay. Laging sinasabi pana-panahon lang yan. Pero ang tutuo dudaan ang bawat ORAS sa kaalaman ng Diyos. Hindi mo hawak ang Oras, siya and may hawak nyan! Pwede mong masukat at magamit pero ang oras tumatakbo, gumaganap at patuloy sa araw-araw. Ni isa sa atin at hindi alam kung gaano kahaba at iksi mabubuhay. Isa sa nakapagpaikling buhay ay ang paggawa at patuloy na guamagawa ng kasalana. Bacause the wages of Sin is Death! Absolute at eternal na po yan, at hindi na mababago.

Dahil kung ano ang ginawa ng isa, saiyo man o saiba sya rin ang babalik sa kanya mabuti man o masama. At hindi mo mababago yan except in changing your ways and repenting but please the consequences will always remain. (Filipino Language)

A challenging season in time.

The scriptures was never late in updating future events. Years back, time past are reminder that tough times are coming it started in the lifestyle and behavior, attitude of the people. Now the New Test describe it as last punishable, terrible difficult days; that in the last days this will surely happen. 1 Timothy 3. and in the writing of the Prophets. This pandemic just triggers and will usher to the great and terrible days ahead. News evidently display the fearful effect of an economic collapse of those specially in the superpower level. Survival of defeatist mode might be required as this escalating squishing moment pressuring specially for survival and escaping the effect.

Kung sanay ka sa hirap at maparaan malaking chansa mong maka survive at hindi totaly ma pilayan. Sa tamad magising kana!

The boat is sinking! Wake up call to go deeper with God and self. What does the scripture tell us when we go to trials and difficulties? All will not be easy this time, as you expected and conditioned with ease before. Where we live in a quick fixing and easy world. It's not inconvenient, but more than that long suffering.

Change the mode of your thinking the virus is not leaving, but would want to play. Stopping and Killing the virus is killing people who are viciously infected. Advance medicine are desperately looking for a vaccine to neutralize it. While waiting we are on the rescue and watch mode to protect ourselves. One bad effect of this is, it drains every resources leading you to much poverty, desperation and fear, an early death and leaving other who are less fortunate, unfortunate and hopelessness.

MORE THAN THAT, CRIME RATES WILL MUCH ESCALATES. TO A MORE UNIMAGINABLE DEGREE, MORE DIABOLIC BEHAVIOR AND MINDSETS WILL MANIFEST. AND YU'LL SEE A MUCH MORE CHANGES IN PERSONAL AND SPIRITUAL BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS. Maybe you have seen this in the past, but this time it's in an uncontrollable vicious degree.

I was never wrong on this timely message. It's happening now!

We need strong leaders in the church.

Men with balls who can stand against giants and a giant slayers in the land. Hindi malambot at binabae! How can you fight and defeat demonized giants, probably yu'll run away with your tail between your butt. False religions makes men weak, but ONLY GOD can raise up mighty fearless, unbending with balls leaders. If leaders in the church can't fight for the truth and what is right, how can they defend the church? Get out of your comfort zone and get into the fight where the rubber meets the road. Where the mighty and fearless are separated from the weak and fearful one, like Gideon 300, the 300 Spartans, No room for the cowards! Brave and courageous men displays strength, might and fearlessness in the midst of CRISIS! Hindi nagtatago sa SAYA ng RELIGIOSITY na ang dating ay napaka pious and holy pero malambot! Holiness and meekness are NOT weakness!

A challenge to be strong and never loose hope in God at this hour.

We never see this Pandemic as a limitation of God's work and ability of what He can do, but a challenge to cultivated His unseen provision, unquestionable wisdom and character and to provoke to manifest His unchallenged and unchangeable power to show Himself strong on behalf of His word and those who believed in His name.

While the world's situation is progressively going from bad to worse, the kingdom of God becomes more brighter and brighter, signaling of the things to come, for us to keep ourselves sober and vigilant, not lazy and lagging in zeal but more passionate and aggressive to see and understand our (as a church) hour has come!

Don't wait for miracle to come, but prepare and create an atmosphere inviting for Miracle to manifest!

Be Reminded

To combat this escalating Pandemic plague is to be in prayer (sincere prayer), but more than our prayers offered, is REPENTANCE! Prayer will only be effective when it's coupled with Repentance and Humility. Quoted several times and still an updated words from our creator in this present time is ; 2 Chronicles 7 :14 and Psalms 91. Remember that the word of God is ETERNAL, always in the present and GOD is in ETERNITY NOT BOUNDED BY SPACE AND TIME! Yes, we can touch God by our prayers, but what kind of prayer does He requires from us? It's an effective and powerful prayers that will even move and touch the heart and hands of God. St. James 5; said that the effective prayer of a RIGHTEOUS MAN is powerful, effective and dynamic in it's working!

Sawa na at narinrindi na po ang Diyos sa mapagkunwari at apaulit- ulit na Panalangin!

Epiphany commonly called as manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.

Season of Epiphany O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. What manifestation are we seeing today? Wars rumors of wars, calamity , terrorism, sickness and diseases, violence, epidemics ? How are we to manifest Christ to these? By manifesting the kingdom of God and of His Christ.To darkness we bring light, to injustice Justice, to sickness healing and health, to Sin forgiveness and righteousness. The living church should manifest the Invisibility of God to become visible in our time.

Ordination in ACPT years back

St. Augustine Of Canterbury Cathedral of ACPT. When we first started facing the Altar on our worship we encountered a lot of criticism, ridicule and rejection, but we never vended, but now more and more those learned are coming back to the right structure of worship and going back to it's original form. Of course worship is coming from a sincere heart. But lets not do away with the right way and form of worship. Please check, that facing the altar is the right position since it was copied from the OT temple worship. Yes, the High priest accept the offering of the people from the inner court, but as soon he enter the Holy of Holiest, He face the ark of the covenant, not facing the people. Some of the past practices that ignorantly accepted needed to be corrected today.

Where and when does salvation comes?

Judgement starts in the Household of faith!

Purging and cleansing must be done on the earth, not after life and expect that serving time of imprisonment in purgatory and making indulgences will free us from the avenging judgement and escape the punishment for SIN!

Another says that Once save ALWAYS save. OSAS!

This kind of beliefs and practices pacifies and made easy salvation, this deceived and licence people to commit more Sin.

Sin is Sin, it kills! The scriptures is so clear in addressing SIN. The wages of sin is death! God is telling us to repent and come before Him with a humble heart, change our evil ways and practices.

Righteousness and Justice are the foundation of His (God's) Throne.

Should lying be in the mouth of the righteous?

Most common practice in Christianity today is lying! Many has mastered it and successfully use to steal, kill and destroy innocent lives. Don't be a victim by it, but overcome it with good!

What good is Christianity, if will not change and transform a life of a person, it is good for nothing. Jesus said that His followers are Salt and Light of the earth. If salt is contaminated and lost it's saltiness, then it is good for nothing to be thrown and trampled down.

When the evil one prevailed the righteous should not change their belief and stand to compromise, but rather overcome and conquer evil, this is how God designed and created man in His own image and likeness, to win and be victorious through Christ in this world.

Sayang lang ang ginawa ni Hesus sa krus, kung ito ay hindi mangyayari at maipapatupad dahil ayaw gawin at ipamuhay!.

True and godly leaders unites, NOT divides!

True enough,the kingdoms of Israel was divided during the time of Solomon and after because Kings did evil in the sight of God and their kingdoms where divided as God allowed them to be conquered and defeated by their enemies. This picture can't be far from the present conditions of the churches today. Churches are so divided and conquered by different level and degree of Evil because of the absence of True and Godly leaders. When leadership fails, the church scatters and became a prey to the Evil one. From the mouth of Jesus Himself that " a house divided cannot stand "!

What is the present condition of the church today?

The bones of the Church is so dry, it's already cracking, that it needs the moist that comes from God.

Is God please with what is happening in His Church? NO!

Just look around and you can tell it for yourself.

We are part of the Church of Jesus Christ that restores, we don't contribute more hardship and add more misery to the Church.

We don't kill our wounded, but help them and restore them back to health to involve them again to the Church, to make it strong and full of life again.

Jesus said: I will build My Church and the gates of hades shall not overpower it.

Yes, we all commit mistakes is some ways and this displeases God, but God is merciful enough to forgive, heal and restore those who are REPENTANT and HUMBLE.

"Create in us a clean heart oh Lord and renew a right spirit within us. Take not away your Holy Spirit from us..."

Grace and forgiveness can only be attained when we acknowledge and confess our sinfulness before God and man, then the process of healing can take place and restoration is at hand. " He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 St. John 1 : 9)

Where are we as a Church now?

Jesus said, that upon the rock of revelation" He is the Christ the Son of the LIVING God" that He will build His church, not with human ingenuity, strength and ability, that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, the church that godlessness and evil and wickedness reign, Jesus is not the builder, author and Lord of that Church.

The book of revelation speaks of the conditions addressed to the seven churches and the immediate recommended remedy to REPENT to still, received what God has promised to the Churches, that's we call a grace period!

But seems the Church was swallowed up by worldliness, desensitized, became insensitive, rebellious and ignored every bit of warning, the continued unwavering warning to change her WAYS. But in spite of all of these, the hardening of the hearts to make it even worst by direct defiance to these warnings is an obvious PROVOCATION to the wrath of God!

It's just a matter of several ticks of time that the sin of the Amorites reaches it fullness.

And this kind of attitude of Church that abuses the kindness, grace and the holiness of God is considered ingratitude and disrespect.

No wonder we have a corrupt and hellish society.

Remember that the condition of the church is reflected in our society. If there is no light in the society, it is obvious that the church is not doing it's responsibility before God to minister to Him and to be the light to the World.

Voices shouting out from the past.

The present moral condition of this current generation is just a result of values handed down by the previous generation. The Church was mandated by God to be SALT and LIGHT of the World to change the society, Not the society changing the church by making it think and act like the World. "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. Matthew 5 :13-14. Is the Church today trampled or triumphing over darkness?

Something to ponder.

Back to the book of prophets in the book of Daniel, strengthened in the Gospel of St. Mathew about Tribulations, some scholars predicts that it has already come, for some we already had a pre - taste of it and it's escalating toward it's fullness. It was assured by the scriptures that it will surely be coming. No doubt about it.

But really in what form, way and season? St.Timothy chapter 3, speaks of the kind of attitude, lifestyle of people that will reflect and tell of the season, most will be contaminated by evil and loosely live a deceptive lives ... haters and twister of good, lovers of evil and falsehood... one translation defined it as difficult times, boastful cruel, brutal heartless, selfish, Liars, lovers of pleasures... love self more than God, most are morally derailed these are the blinking signs of the time and already revealing it's season. It's just a matter of time.

SILENCE NO MORE!

Child sex abused, Pedophilia and others by Homosexuals. Ingat po tayo sa mga PARING AT OBISPONG BAKLA! Kung meron lumipat nalang kayo sa ibang simbahan o parockia. Be bilib ka naman doon sa ibang parishioners KINAKANLONG at PINAGTATAKPAN PA ang Kabaaklaan ng mga ito! Stop MALE PROSTITUTION, If your a Christian you don't make money out of your body. When you became a Christian your body belongs to God, So glorify God with your BODY! It will CORRUPT the moral of the Church and POLLUTE the minds of the youth. Can a deacon be ordain as a priest who is responsible for a DEATH OF A PRIEST? A stupid act of the one who ordain him. Pwede bang maging Pari and isang clergy na pinatay ang Isang Pari? Nakakalungkot nito ay nag aastang pari ay patuloy na nagmimisa at patuloy rin niloloko itong mga forigners at pareho lang silang naglolokohan! While the scriptures demands obedience specially in the Ten Commandments " Thou shall NOT KILL"! Thou shall not covet" for the LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil. But how about a DIRTY POLITICS IN THE CHURCH? Disgusting! You will be surprise that extreme darkness (EVIL) is not much seen outside of the Church, but INSIDE and silently, slowly devouring and sapping it's life like leprosy, the Church. It's time for the church to wake up and practice JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS! Hindi po Natutulog and Diyos! Nauumpisa na katkottakot na UNOS dahil sa katigsan ng Puso at Ulo ng mgaTao!

It is good for brethren to work together, it fuels Unity!

May the Lord God bless our endeavor for striving for the Unity of faith. The beauty of these fellowshiping together is, that we can pray and strengthen one another that eliminates strife and division!

An Anglican Church oversees by an Asian / Filipino Clergy.

Fr. Gregorio Aglipay was right in what he was fighting for, equality for all clergy whether it's a Filipino or foreigner during his time, he strongly opposed and disagreed with partiality, discrimination and colonialism, but he was wrongly treated, ignored and excommunicated by the Church.

It's sad that his successors fails to carry out his vision and intention, but compromised what he faithfully sacrificed and fought for.

Same with Fr. Martin Luther, he was trying to reform the Church, as he saw the corruption inside the church, but was misunderstood and excommunicated by the Church.

If only the leaders of the church handled maturely and wisely Luther's discovery of corruptions, deceptions and apostasy inside the church during his time there would never had been a REFORMATION OUTSIDE of the Catholic Church but a TRUE REFORMATION INSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Most splits and disputes in churches today are lack of maturity and wisdom, most actions and decisions are based on some personal (fleshly) and evil way in dealing with the issue.

Every time the church splits and divides it weakens itself and gives advantages to the evil one and delayed its progress

Over and over Jesus reminded the church not to entertain and to do away with strife and division and yet churches unwillingly ignored Christ commands. This weakens the church and the evil one prevails.

Yes, purgation is acceptable NOT amputation in the body of Christ!

Please for those who are guilty in doing it, don't make an excuse in justifying it, by making it to appear acceptable for growth and advancement, it's not! This kind of reasoning is unacceptable!

We are Anglicans and will always be! And still doing God's business in doing Missions and Church planting and transforming cities and the world!.

Be part in praying with us to build God's Kingdom on earth.

Good to be reminded

Mis representation of the teaching of the Gospel brings weakness and passivity to the Church. Churches are fighting over minor differences instead of bringing light of what is true in the teaching of Christ.

Every day more and more division are seen in the Church, contrary to what Christ warned His church about the devastating effect of division.

I think the post modern churches (Christianity) are conditioned and overcome by extreme modernity, worldliness and controlled by machines rather than putting more emphasis on the sound teaching and the training of character, godliness and a transformed life.

Yes, the church of today are fueled with arrogance, bigotry and competition that do more harm instead of doing good and right for the advancement of God's kingdom.

In the Church of Christ we are all equal and have each role and responsibility to contribute in making the body of Christ healthy, strong and productive. We don't go backward but forward.

Sounds religious?

Simplicity in the Anglican worship

Remaining to be faithful Traditional Anglicans.

Using the 1928 prayer book, Anglican Missal and King James Bible.

We in the ACPT in Nueva Vizcaya uses the Anglican Liturgy and sing the Anglican music.

We don't use and shift to other liturgy to attract other people to make our numbers increase. We preaches Christ the son of the living God and teach people to obey God's word, and in doing that God saves and reward us with increase.

Our worship is different, we don't make our worship bend to fit to entertain and please people. People come to church because they love and desire to worship God in the beauty of HIS Holiness.

Holiness of God is not based is on emotionalism, entertainment, being religious or in God's anointing on how we like or feel, but by faith and love we serve the Lord with a pure heart.

"Blessed are the PURE in hearts for they will SEE God"!

We come to church to bless the Lord and not to be bless. We bless God and in return He blesses us with more than enough we need. God is always true to all His promises.

To our critics they said, that using the old prayer books is obsolete and not attractive to the unchurched and the millennials, on the contrary they like and appreciates this way of worship, it's in the substance of worship that makes the difference, because it fills the longing emptiness, heals and satisfies every hungry the soul and spirit that longs to be one with God. It is in the spirit and in truth that we worship and understand who God is.
.

Every year is a promising year.

Every year is a good year with better promises and with new challenges.

Let us braced ourselves as church to face a more challenging and invigorating year.

When we are confronted with more challenges it wake us from being mediocre and shakes the dust of comfort and stretch our God given ability and talent to produce much and better.

God called and commissioned the church to be the light of the world not to go to lighted places, but where the presence of darkness is and turn that darkness into light.

Jesus said; I am the light of the world he who follows (and obey) me will never walk in darkness.

Basahin at pagbulaybulayan.

Failures, set backs and delays should not be a stumbling blocks in fulfilling God's mandates and calling for one's ministry.

Repent and pursue with renewed passion in fulfilling the goal of the high calling in Christ. God is merciful,gracious and slow to anger.

We need more laborers in the vineyard. We don't kill and neglect our wounded, but help them instead to recover when they are willing and repentant.

Ang problema kinorek mo na nga, PATULOY parin sa paggawa ng mga karumaldumal at kasamaan! They cover it with false repentance, pretense, lies and tolerance!

Mission Possible only with God.

The mission of the church does not stop because of lack of resources and funding. The mission of the church stops when God is not in the church.

The triumphant church never grow without trials, temptations, difficulties and oppositions that's part and the refining process in becoming mature in Christ.

It grows and advances through much oppositions and trials, it increases it's stamina to become better not bitter, and even grows stronger and healthier in the midst of tribulations and persecutions. Those whom God designed and molded with this kind, are those who display exemplary acts in the midst of Tribulation.

1 Peter 1: 6-7

Growing starts with Christ and never stops without Christ!

The triumphant church

God allowed His church to go through purging, pruning even extreme sufferings and fire of afflictions to make it better not bitter!

The triumphant church will be in constant battle with evil, along the way it suffers wounds and casualties, it NEVER leaves it's wounded to the hands of their enemies, but instead carry it's wounded and provides healing, creates an atmosphere for recuperation and restoration. Put them on their feet to face anther battle.

We don't kill and bury our wounded alive!

Be like the good Samaritan to the wounded!

Never give up in doing good, be patient for in due time you'll reap a bountiful harvest.

The triumphant church never stops in praying. Praying is their number one on their priority list. Pray at all times and fight the good fight of Faith!

Something to be reminded of.

We don't tear down and destroy a church to build our own church that's demonic in nature. We build His church God's WAY, in doing that we build His kingdom. We are called and anointed to build His kingdom, NOT to tear it down.

A house divided cannot stand, but a house UNITED doing God's will stand strong and remains forever!

What weakens the church is not the evil outside the church, but the practice of evil inside the church.

Division in the church is foreign from the teaching and lifestyle of the Early Church and the Apostles.

It's diabolic by nature, evil in it's intention fueled by antagonism, hatred, jealousy egoistic and selfish desire brings the deadliest sting in the Body of Christ (The Church). Many still are ignorant of it's effect.

Delayed does not mean denial!!

We are in building and rebuilding!

When we stop believing Him , we stops Him in showing His ability to perform.

God is faithful and will never fails.

The truth will set us free. Time will allow the truth to surface and will absolutely silence the liars.

He is the God of the living not of the dead!

God never refuse to listen to the cry and prayers of the righteous one.

OUR MISSION

In order to attain this vision,

ACPT shall train, equip and develop men of Godly vocation to become ACPT's clergy through an intensive Biblical preparation on the orthodox doctrine of the Church and of the early fathers;

ACPT shall also plant and establish Anglican mission churches and parishes in the entire Philippines and in Filipino communities, abroad;

ACPT shall evangelize places in the Philippines, especially the unreached and marginalized to equip and disciple them through Biblical and sound teaching as a witness of God’s unquestioned love for the poor and for such transformation to change their families and communities.

It likewise endeavors to extend Christ’s preaching to a crooked and perverse generation, offering to the poor, the sick, the abandoned, the neglected, the abused and the lost, the Word of life, which is able to set the captives free, heal, deliver and transform lives; bringing hope and restoration to anyone who believes;

In its desire to proclaim that the kingdom of God is here, it shall strive to manifest excellence in the different areas of ACPT’s ministry for the honor and glory of God!

Who We Are:

ACPT is Catholic in liturgy, Catholic/Evangelical in theology and Biblical in morality.

The Philippine Flag, symbol of our independence...God bless the Philippines!

The Philippine flag as it is raised has the symbol of the the sun rising over the land and the stars shining brightly during dark nights with its colors speaking of peace and the bravery of our forefathers. May it continue to stand and fly high not just as a symbol of freedom but of the LORD of the Philippines...Jesus Christ. As we celebrate Independence Day on June 12, may we never cease in praying for the Philippines to be known truly as a CHRISTIAN NATION in the Far East and in the world!

"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure,pressed down,shaken together,running over,they will pour in to your lap. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." (St. Luke 6:38 (NASB)

God bless!

We are part of Christ Church that never sleeps!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Numbers with poor quality in the ministry does not guarantees success, but numbers with quality coupled with integrity and honesty guarantees great success!

* In unity Churches can multiply and do more effectively.

When Prayer decays Revival delays!!!

We never stop praying because God never stop listening and answering our prayers.

We DON'T STEAL Clergy and parishioners from other churches and groups to make His church great, God made His church great, NO need to STEAL to make His church great.

Let us not add hardship and misery to the church, but instead be willing to assist and share what you have, to lighten the burden in carrying out His work to the heathen and neutralized the works of evil one. We accomplish more in unity than in division in the Church. Division and strifes weakens and delay the advancement of Christ church.

The fastest way in starting a church without sweating is to cause division by false accusation, fabrication of stories, gossiping and create an evil thing that man could imagine, then devour and steals the sheep, these innocent and naive sheeps who are poisoned and brain washed by perverted shepherds who can't even identifies between the things from God and from evil and becomes wolves in heart now in a sheep clothing, snared by their own stupidity looking for someone to devour.

This kind of acts never progress in God's kingdom, but rather brings destructions and a short lived satisfaction.

Don't be a victim, but a victor!

Stop sheep stealing, it's not pleasing to God!

Stolen water is bitter, it never satisfies the heart!

We don't OWN the church, God does!

We don't giving up in doing MISSION we just go on and on!

Bread from the Master's Table

St. Luke 4: 21-30 21Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your [e]hearing.” 22And all the people were [f]speaking well of Him, and admiring the [g]gracious words which were coming from His [h]lips; and yet they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” 23And He said to them, “No doubt you will [i]quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! All the miracles that we heard were done in Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’” 24But He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a [j]severe famine came over all the land; 26and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to [k]Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And there were many with leprosy in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was [l]cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” 28And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; 29and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and brought Him to the [m]crest of the hill on which their city had been built, so that they could throw Him down from the cliff. 30But He passed through their midst and went on His way.

ACPT as a Province in 2012 and beyond.....

The Anglican Church in the Philippines (Traditional), Inc. known as ACPT started with only three ordained clergy and a handful supportive and dedicated people, who chose to believe that God is at work in their midst. What was considered as small and humble beginnings eventually blossomed and grew into a Missionary Diocese and now a Province.

ACPT is slowly growing, maturing and slowly extending it's missions not just in Northern Luzon but likewise in Southern Luzon, the Visayas, Mindanao, Asia and the world.

The following are the Missionary Dioceses that ACPT would like to build and establish:

The Missionary Diocese of Northern Luzon covering the provinces of Cagayan Valley, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, Isabela and Appari. The Cordillera / Mountain Provinces, Ilocos Region, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan are likewise included.

The Missionary District of Southern Luzon includes the Bicol region, particularly Sorsogon, Albay, Naga city, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Masbate.

The Missionary District in NCR covers Metro Manila areas. Cavite, Batangas and Quezon (CALABARZON) provinces.

Missionary District of Central Luzon

Covering Pampanga area , Mabalacat and Tarlac, Carmen and Pangasinan

The Missionary Diocese of Visayas includes Negros Oriental and Occidental, Cebu, and Panay Island Bohol, Bacolod Samar, Leyte and Ormoc City and Cebu city.

Presently, the Missionary Diocese of Northern Luzon is where most of ACPT's Churches and Missions are located but now in Central Luzon.

Southern Missionary District is now open and been preparing our own missionary presence in Bicol region.

Indeed everything starts with a seed. And from that seed will grow a full grown tree where birds could stay and have their nest. ACPT is like a seed planted by the Lord in the Philippines, who in due time will grow and become a full-grown church able to minister to the needs of "birds" or the marginalized of society and those hungry for a genuine experience of WHO God is! The journey may not be easy but we are assured that in each step we take and in the WAY and direction we are headed to, the Lord is with us and will never leave nor forsake us!

May the Lord of the harvest send in the perfect laborers and may He undoubtedly cause the increase! For unless the Lord builds the house (the Church) our labor will be in vain and futile!

Jesus never fails!!!

We are part of the Church that never sleeps!

ACPT's Church Planting Goals for Year 2010 and beyond....

You can be a part of ACPT's goals for 2010 related to Church planting and help us build strong and growing Churches in the Philippines.

Areas where you can be involved through your prayers and giving.

Whatever we give that is stemming out of our desire to see the Kingdom of God expand in order to glorify and honor God, will never become futile and of no effect. Instead it will be like a seed that had been planted and in a little while will grow and become a tree where the birds go for shelter and a time of refreshing!

Interested to help and give in this ministry. Please call or send us an email.

Hala sige tulak..tulak pa! Mahirap na nga sa sasakyan, hirap din yung sasakyan (umahon)!!

This is the kind of roads that ACPT clergy and workers has to go through and travel every Sunday . This three wheeled vehicle is having a hard time in getting through this rough road. Muscles of these strong men are needed to give a push to go through this kind of road. Imagine how this road will be during rainy season. With such condition, few will dare go to serve and do missions. It is an encouragement for us to have workers who choose to preach the Word "in season or out of season, when convenient or inconvenient!" We hope that our New MAYOR of Bagabag Nueva Vizcaya Philippines will consider the condition of these roads under his administration and will do something about it during his term. This will surely improve the living conditions of his constituents and mission churches in this area. Sad to say that this short note landed on deaf ears!!! This note was posted years back. But until NOW inspite of this notice NO action was taken. When heart become so callous it becomes insensitive! THIS NOTE WAS POSTED YEARS AGO, WHEN THE FORMER MAYOR WAS STILL IN THE OFFICE, NOW HE WAS SUCCEEDED BY HIS BROTHER WHO JUST WON IN THE RECENT ELECTION AND NOW ON HIS LAST TERM FOR HIS OFFICE AS MAYOR. THE FORMER MAYOR WAS ELEVATED ON A MUCH HIGHER OFFICE AS A BOARD MEMBER IN THE PROVINCE OF NUEVA VIZCAYA. BOTH BROTHERS WON AND ARE NOW IN THE PUBLIC OFFICE. IF THIS SITUATION WILL NOT BE ADDRESS WHICH IS VERY MINIMAL, TO SAVE FACE VALUE AND CREDIBILITY. IF NOT THEN IT'S A FAILURE OF THE MANY PROMISES SPOKEN DURING THE CAMPAIGN PRIOR TO WINNING. TO MAKE THE PEOPLE OF NUEVA VIZCAYA, HAVE A BETTER LIFE ESPECIALLY THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAGABAG'S REMOTE AREAS LIKE THIS. Yung pong DRIVER ng tricycle na ito ay nasa abroad na, maliit pa yung anak nya noong pinost namin ito. Abay BINATA na yung anak nya ganoon po ka tagal ng naka post ito. Sa sobrang tagal baka abutan pa ito ng pagdating ang ating Panginoon. Sana nanan ay makita ito ng ating Presidente at hindi natapos yung tern nya na GANITO PARIN kalagayan ng daang ito.
