WHO ARE WE?

The Puerto Princesa City church of Christ is not a part of any denomination ( I Cor. 1:10-13). We are simply a local body of Christians ( I Cor. 1:2) who meet together to worship the Lord ( Acts 20:7) and who do God's work together ( I Tim.5:16) with funds given on a free will basis by our members each first day of the week ( I Cor.16:1-2). We have no clergy ( Matt. 23:8-12) the church composed of bishop (pastors, elders), deacons, and saints (members) (Phil.1:1). We follow no human creeds or doctrines of men (Rev. 22:18, 19) but follow Christ and His word ( Eph. 1:22,23; 2 Tim.3:16,17). We strive to give Scriptural authority for all we believe, teach and do( Col.3:16,17; 2 John 9). Our worship is not according to human tradition ( no using of any instrumental music) (Matt.15:7-9, Eph. 5:19; Col.3:16) but is in spirit and in truth ( John 4:23-24). members of the church are expected to live holy lives ( I Pet. 1:15, 26; I Cor.5). Our one hope is a Home in Heaven ( Eph. 4:4; I Pet.1:3-5).

For many years, the plea and cry of churches of Christ was: " Let us speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. Let us call Bible things by Bible names and do Bible things in Bible ways." This is our aim and goal--to be a congregation of the Lord's people which demands a "thus says the Lord" for its actions and even its very existence ( Col 3:17). But what are we and what are we not?

We are against an organized "Sunday School" which exist separate and apart from the church, but we are not against teaching the Bible in a class situation. Such is authorized in the commands to teach (2Tim.2:2) and for the flock to be feed (Acts 20:28).

We are against a one-man-rule "pastor system" because all congregations in the New Testament had a plurality of pasrors (Acts 14:23; Titus 1:5), but we are not opposed to a preacher's working with a local congregation for an extended period of time, even when the congregation has elders (Acts 20:31; I Tim.1:3).

We are opposed to the "sponsoring church" system whereby many congregations send funds to one congregation to do their work, because the work of elders in the New Testament is limited to only one congregation (Acts 20:28). We are not opposed to congregations cooperating in the spreading of the Gospel ( 2Cor.11:9; Phil.4:15-16).

We are opposed to "human benevolent institutions" being supported by the church, but we are not against orphans and needy people being provided for (Jas 1:27). This fact is demonstrated by many of like persuasion as we who have taken dependent children into their homes, adopted them, and provided a loving family relationship.

We are not opposed to recreation or to members of the church associating with one another (Rome 12:10). We are against recreational activities and facilities being paid for from the church treasury for such is not authorized in the Bible.

We believe in the one cup, the fruit of the vine (Luke 22:17-18). This is still the "one cup" whether or not it is in one container or divided into many, or whether it be one congregation or many ( I Cor.10:16-17). When one says that the fruit of the vine must be fermented wine, he is binding where the Lord has not bound ( Matt.16:19; 28:18-20).

ABOUT MYSELF..!

I am Dario D. Belviz - 35 years old, Christian, husband of my pretty Daisy and father of 3 wonderful children ( Calyton - 9 years old, John Paul - 8 years old, and Clarence - 1 year & 6 months). In 1994, I met Daisy (Agbisit) and in 1995 we were married while attending Palawan National Agricultural College (PNAC), now known as Western Palawan University (WPU). I thank God who has blessed me with all of these children and my pretty wife. My formal education includes Diploma in Agricultural Techonology (D.A.T.) and Bachelor in Aricultural Technology (B.A.T.) major in Animal Husbandry. And in January 1999, I was given the opportunity to attend the Preachers Training Program at Kapitbahayan church of Christ in Manila. This was conducted by faithful American brethren such as Johnie Edwards, Johnny Paul Edwards, John Isaac Edwards of Elletsville, Indiana U.S.A. and Brother Gerald Heggie of McAlester, Oklahoma U.S.A.
Presently, I am working with the Lord’s church here in Puerto Princesa city church of Christ. This is a faithful and sound congregation that would strive to teach the complete truth on “all” Bible subjects wanting only to pleased God. I have dedicated my life in spreading the good tidings of Jesus Christ (Mark 16:15), and serving Him and His church in every way that I can. God has blessed me, and I have been preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ for a congregation of the Lord’s church that is grounded in New Testament truth and sound doctrine ( I Timothy 3:15) since in my college years.
As Gospel Preacher, my goal is to know and apply God’s will. I am eager to share what I have learned and experienced with others, believing that they will also enjoy the blessings of God as I have in my life. Each Sunday and other opportunities as I preach, I want to help others to know God as He has revealed Himself. As we do, we will love Him and want to obey Him because we know that His wisdom and power are great! The result will be a life of joy and peace through our fellowship with Him and His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. To that task I commit myself each day as I labor in the gospel. I hope very much that you will allow me the privilege of helping you in your search for God’s will for your life. I invite you to visit with us at Puerto Princesa City church of Christ for one of our Bible Study or worship assemblies.

ANNOUNCEMENT..!

I am looking for used Hymnals, Communion try, and Bibles. If any faithful individual christians or Congregation of the Lord there in the U.S.A. or here in the Philippines desires to make such donation please contact me. These materials are badly needed of the saints in Northern Part of Palawan, as well to many congregations of the Lord here in the island of Palawan, Philippines. Thank you so much and continue to pray for us, please!

THE DATE NOT YET CONFIRM...! for the final quarter of 2010 brother CRAIG MEYER of Dickinson Texas will be coming here in the island of Palawan, Philippines for about five weeks of Preaching trip throughout the island. Let us pray for this trip that would become possible. The work is prospering here in the Philippines. The Fields are still "white unto harvest" and from every quarter and region of our 7,000 island. We are continue appealing to all faithful American Brethren. " Come here in the Philippines" and help us proclaiming the good tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ...
