"Ipaglaban mo nang puspusan ang pananampalataya. Panghawakan mong mabuti ang buhay na walang hanggan, dahil diyan ka tinawag ng Diyos nang ipahayag mo sa harap ng maraming saksi ang iyong pananalig kay Cristo." I Tim. 6:12

Belated happy 97th anniversary to all Iglesia ni Cristo members!
Sorry because i cant access the internet because of the typhoon.... Here's a news about the church's anniversary:
Malacanang greets Iglesia ni Cristo on its 97th anniversary
MANILA, July 26 — Malacanang wishes Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) well on its 97th founding anniversary noting that it has given the country citizens who served the government well.
“Iglesia ni Cristo is a religious organization that has been with us for sometime and they have given this country citizens who served the government well,” Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said during the regular press briefing held in Malacanang on Tuesday.
INC is celebrating its founding anniversary on Wednesday.
“We wish them godspeed. We wish God will continue to bless their church and bless and guide their leaders to further their denomination,” Lacierda said.
INC was formally established on July 27, 1914. Its expansion continued under Minister Felix Ysagun Manalo.
As a church, the INC has spanned six continents, establishing over 5,000 Missions in 100 countries, making it truly a global church. (PNA)
INC is not a Filipino Church only for Filipinos. INC came from the Philippines and that doesnt mean it is only for FILIPINOS. If you have this kind of view then be ashamed, work out your common sense!
3 more years to go and its the centennial celebration of the INC! What all are waiting for!
To all INC members: Let's keep our faith unshaken and let's continue our church duties, and especially the services to God, because that's what's being a TRUE member is all about. Its not time for you to have cold faith, its not time for you to be expelled in the church, its not time for you to doubt about the church, ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GET UP, and share the FAITH...
Be a light to those in darkness!
Note: If you read Anti-INC articles again, every church's anniversary, well dont be surprised, they cant help theirselves but to secretly admire and amazed about the phenomenal growth of the church, that's why they say lies on their posts.
For example, if your friend is more noticed by your classmates, and because youre the jealous one, ofcourse you will do something unappropriate for you to have your classmate's attention. That's what happens between the INC and the jealous nonmembers, only because the INC was in the spotlight, then it is also their time to counter that. Remember, a liar deceives many!
So if youre convinced with their anti-INC articles/dirty tactics, well you will not notice that you are DECEIVED!
I send greetings to the members of Iglesia Ni Cristo as you celebrate your 90th anniversary.
Faith plays an important role in the lives of many Americans, offering strength and guidance for the challenges of each new day. By encouraging the celebration of faith and sharing the message of God’s love and boundless mercy, churches like yours put hope in people’s hearts and a sense of purpose in their lives.
This milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on your years of service and to rejoice in God’s faithfulness to your congregation. In the days ahead, may your community continue to grow in faith and friendship.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a memorable celebration.

Dear friends:
I was pleased to learn that the congregation of Iglesia Ni Cristo is celebrating the church’s ninetieth anniversary. Lynne joins me in sending you our heartiest congratulations on this special occasion.
Throughout our history, Americans have turned to their neighborhood churches, synagogues, temples and mosques for fellowship, guidance and support in good times and bad. I commend your congregation’s decades of commitment to providing comfort, education and spiritual growth to the local community.
May you grow in faith as you continue to offer hope and may our loving God bless each one of you.
Sincerely,

Dear Brother Erdy,
Our warmest greetings to the Church in its 90th anniversary in the Philippines!
For nine decades now, the church has been a part of country’s history and each chapter of that saga reveals every pages that chronicle the triumph of the church. From its pioneering years, the church endured. No persecution was so great that it did not overcome. Even war and devastation did not hinder its onward march.
We marvel at the Administration’s dynamic and ardent leadership. Those who challenged the church had come and gone and had since been forgotten. On the other hand, the church grows and becomes stronger each day. Truly, the mighty hand of God is at work and he is always at your side.
We take this opportunity to thank you and the Church most profoundly for the trust you vested in us. We vowed to be true to our duty on the day of our proclamation. Rest assured, we will work to fulfill this promise every moment.
We wish you all the members of the Church around the world all the best and blessed years!
Very truly yours,
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

Dear Brother Erdy,
We join all the members of the church here and abroad in celebrating joyously its 90th year in the Philippines!
The Church through the years has made a great difference in the lives of Filipino people. It brought fervent spirituality to a vast number and upliftment to the underprivileged.
Its fervent emphasis on spirituality is remarkable for a church in modern times amidst deep-seated materialism.
The concern it has shown and reached far and wide. It crossed the Pacific and spread all across the globe. The spirituality and upliftment of the church has brought to the Philippines are now before all the peoples of the world.
Once again, our warmest greetings to all the brethren around the world!
Very truly yours,

Dear Ka Erdy,
Happy 95th anniversary to Iglesia Ni Cristo.My family and I share with all the INC members here and abroad the joys of this celebration.
Warmest greetings to all INC ministers and leaders for their devotion and faithful service to their calling.
In 1914, Brother Felix Manalo began his great mission in the Philippines to fulfill God’s promise of salvation. In 1968, this mission reached the far west. Now it has spread all over the world and it has enjoyed almost a century of prosperous existence. The multiplication of INC membership and its buildings of worship throughout our country and elsewhere are proof of INC’s inspired success. Ka Erdy, together with the ministers and official of the INC, has been a constant partner of the government in our nation’s progress and social development.
Best wishes for the continued prosperity of INC in the country and the world.
Happy Iglesia Ni Cristo Day!
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
