Continuing as a Disciple
The fire of cogon grass burns intensely but dies out quickly - a quality often used to describe the Filipino's attitude when he embarks on anything new. Hence, the term ningas cogon ( cogon grass flame ). Filipino believers need to know how to continue as disciples. The believers in Thessalonica knew how. Read and carefully study 1 Thessalonians 1 to discover how you, too, may go in Christ triumphantly.
Filipinos can avoid becoming ningas-cogon Christians. Christ gives us faith, love and hope to enable us to begin, continue, and finish well. FAITH helps us to do things for God and to be the kind of persons God wants us to be. LOVE helps us to accept and serve others even to the point of self-sacrifice. HOPE helps us to give proper value to everything as we await the Second Coming of Christ.
If you have read 1 Thessalonians 1 you will see what these 3 qualities ( faith,love & hope ) mentioned on verse 3 enabled the Thessalonians to do. How about you...having these qualities what will enable you to do?
