Why is
there a need for the Church of Christ
(Iglesia ni Cristo) to spend for
structures like Philippine Arena and Phil. Sports Stadium and Phil. Sports Complex?
At a glance,
one will not really see the importance of those structures to the service of
God not being a chapel. If deeply
analyzed, aside from the most common reason others might speculate – to have a
place to call our own during big events and gatherings– no more complains of
traffic from non-members when we do our religious assembly in public places;
the MOST IMPORTANT REASON is we glorify our Lord God when we are united. Church
activities keep us united in faith.
Only in a
private venue far from main thoroughfares in Metro Manila, we can have our
church activities without government intervention (traffic) and public scrutiny
(due to traffic we inevitably and unintentionally cause). Important programs or celebrations especially
during occasions most especially worship services that needs huge accommodation
can be done in the Philippine Arena (known to be the largest indoor arena on
earth). Actually, it is still not enough to house worldwide members.
