The theme of our Circuit Assembly was based on Romans 12:21 "Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good." It was a two day assembly but unfortunately, I was only able to attend the Sunday session ( I'll be attending the Saturday session with an old friend from a different circuit). We were there quite early cause the stadium the Society rented was much smaller than the one that we have in Laguna or Quezon City, and we had to find good seats. It was a whole day affair so we had to make sure that we would be able to take full advantage of the program.

There were a lot of pointers and reminders in the assembly. We know that we are living the last days and that Satan is working doubly hard to discourage us. He is so cunning he uses things that are seemingly innocent and harmless and makes them instrument of badness. The speaker sited technology... which is very advantageous to us, when used improperly can lead us to sin. And he doesn't need to pull us out of the organization for him to win us over, when he uses things and circumstances that make us slow down, not giving our whole soul , mind and strength to God... in a way he had already won us over. But Ephesians 6:12-17, tells us "to put on the complete suit of armor from God so we can stand firm against the machinations of the Devil". These will help us acquire the power, protection of our symbolic hearts by hating what is bad . And though Satan uses our past mistakes to haunt us, the bible encourages us to not let our past transgressions hinder us. If we remain in God's love, reading the bible daily, keeping close to His organization, actively participating in the ministry..... there is no doubt evil will be conquered!
