The Rock Was CHRIST

Hello! and happy holy and family day to all of us, GUYS.  For our first-thing-first this Sunday:

THE GOOD NEWS (28 February 2016)

"Let me remind you, brothers and sisters, about our ancestors.  All of them were under the cloud and all crossed the sea.  All underwent the baptism of  the land and of the sea to join Moses and all of them ate from the same spiritual manna and all of them drank from the same spiritual drink.  For you know that they drank from a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was CHRIST.  However, most of them did not please GOD, and the desert was strewn with their bodies.

All of this happened as an example for us, so that we might not become people of evil desires, as they did. 

It was early morning of 08 November 2013 when my wife, our only daughter, and I experienced the wrath of this natural phenomenon (Philippine Codename: Super Typhoon Yolanda) in our home in Tacloban City, Philippines, which I thought will be the last day already that we will be seeing each other.  I really did consider this as GOD's warning already for all of us! - (Milo R. Arbo)

Do not follow idols, as some of them did, and Scripture says: 'The people sat down to eat and drink and stood up for orgy.  Let us not fall into sexual immortality as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them fell dead.  And let us not tempt the LORD as some of them did, and were killed by serpents; nor grumble as some of them did and were cut down by the destroying angel.

These things happened to them as an example, and they were written as a warning for us, as the last times come upon us.  Therefore, if you think you stand, beware, lest you fall." - 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

(The rock was CHRIST.  The Jewish legends said that the rock mentioned in Exodus 17:5 followed the Israelites in their journey.  Paul does not affirm that legend as true.  He only recalls it as an image of CHRIST, present in HIS Church.)
