Fiesta in our town is celebrated annually. This is the one of the cultures of the Filipinos. They really spend time preparing for the Fiesta where their friends, relatives etc. visit them. It is not the date of the Fiesta yet but there are many people coming from different places to be at Fiesta. Some are selling a lot of stuffs. I was at the market yesterday and I saw a lot tents built there. This is the time where people from different places gather. I was thinking about the Pentecost where people from different places and different tongues gathered.
Oh well, mostly filipinos are worshipping idols still. I think some of them knows that it is worthless but they don't have enough reasons. They are doing what their grandparents say, generation to generation. Some people are proving them wrong, letting them see/read what God had said. Some people turned from worshipping idols to worship the true God. It is not new to them when you tell them about God. They know that God created heaven and earth, man and all livings things but they cannot even appreciate how great the God is, they let their traditions carry them. I know what God wants from His people and it is always a great challenge in me when do I tell them.
“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.” ~ Andre Malraux
