What a way to start his legacy – Obama.

Obama within his first week of presidency, other than closing Guantanamo Bay, signed off to rescind “Mexico City Ban” on funding for Abortion. What a hit to the Pro-Life Groups in America that stands against Abortion. Like I’ve said before, American have made a terrible mistake voting for Obama to office

Feed my sheep!

As I was having my breakfast at the Prata shop near my office, a group of Christians were talking and chatting, and i felt like i am outside the family, a prodigal son at best. Then i remember how Jesus restored Peter and instructed him gently saying “If you love me, feed my sheep”. and why the Church of Jesus Christ has failed in their role to stand up for what is right and against what is wrong.

A particular someone named David commented on my blog, which i deleted it cos i find him probably a dull minded christian who has neglected his faculty to think. That who am i to write things against Benny Hinn or the prosperity gospel preachers who are under investigation, or some time back about the paganistic catholic church in their marian worship. I say again, i merely reported what was already a known fact, that these prosperity gospel preachers are being investigated, and their lifestyle contradicts the core message of the gospel they were suppose to represent, and second, i merely expose their wicked deeds, because being family, we were suppose to protect each other from ‘preachers’ who instead of feeding the sheeps that belong to Jesus, they ripped them off, ripped them off with wicked and cunning schemes to feed their own greed, to build their own kingdoms here on earth, and most important, they have perverted the centrality of the messages Christianity suppose to represent.

Now this David, in future, please make full use of the faculty God has so graciously given you to weigh your actions, thoughts and hopefully your blinded eyes will be opened and stand up against people who ripped your family members off to feed their own greed.

Mars Hill Church

Recently I was introduced to Mars Hill Church pastored by Pastor Mark Driscoll at the Tuesday Group.

The Message “Dating” on the Religion Saves series has been very good, and when I got home, i went through their sermons on Emerging Church, which i totally love the sermons and has been a great deal of encouragement! I would recommend anyone wanting good sermons and down to earth, Jesus loving, and totally funny yet frank pastor, go to Mars Hill Church Website

President Obama’s inauguration prayer

Prayer for President Obama made by a homosexual minister that prayer is to the god of all understandings in bid not to offend the other religion.

Humanism like the type of Christianity preached by Rick Warren who said “Can we not all just get along?” is the god of the new age, a god of all understandings which in the core of this belief is a belief of demonic origin which seeks to tear down the sovereignty of God’s absolute authority.

This new humanistic god has become one of the many gods Rick Warren worship, together with Gene Robinson. On the 44th President of United States, we saw the complete destruction of the American institutions in authentic Christianity with a humanistic approach.

Perhaps soon, they will have a stature of Mary in the congress, since humanism has taken the path to ecumenistic effort of these mega churches to go back to Rome. Are we seeing America fornicating with the harlot as spoken in the Book of Revelations?

Missing mercy

It is only the second day and I miss her so much. I miss the constant loving voice in my life that at the end of the day I can hold her hands and protect her. Guess I miss her and I wonder how she is doing.

Christian Rambo?

Was watching the movie “Rambo 2008” on the latest installement on the Rambo series, where John Rambo in his self exile somewhere in Thailand met a group of missionaries who want to go into the warzone of Burma to help people, and struggling with the ghost of his past, he relunctantly took them to the shores but find himself returning to the same spot later when he found out that the missionaries were taken captive by the despotic burmese soldiers.

While watching this show, a quotation came to me by William Blake “The only thing necessary for the triumph of Evil, is for Good men to do nothing”. In view of these, contrast to many popular Christian attitude towards societal injustice, deceptions within the politics, and how many Christians prefer to sit back and do nothing and be concerned about living peacefully with himself and not bother about what is happening in the world. This sort of an appeasement attitude gave rise to manipulative preachers and false teachers within the Church, to deceive and to steal. How many of us will stand up for what is the truth?

The launch at the airport

Mercy and friends at the airport 5am.

Mercy finally flew off to Hong Kong for a new chapter in her life with God, of which even so in the early hours of 19th Jan 2009, friends close to her came to send her off and i think it means a lot to Mercy.

Absence of my love

Impending departure of my love to fulfill what God has laid out before her, is both exciting and trying. I am excited that my dear beloved is walking a path that God has for her, and as we have both initially agreed that in our relationship, we will free each other for the work of God, and i know she is in that and in the centre of God’s will for her to go to the world as His ambassador.

Trying as I want to be, and coming to the realization that she might be gone for about 5 months to a year is a reality, and that when tomorrow i wake up, or on Saturday or Sunday, i will not see her sitting beside me in service, or the familiarity of that voice at home, or the call when i am working to tell me about this prophetic conference or her finances stuff, nor her constant support and encouragement when i know she needed more encouragement. This girl has been a tremendous blessings and I pray whatever God has in store for me, i plead that God will transfer all my blessings to this girl I love, that God will do mighty things through her life, and through her heart of gold and love, send angels to protect her, and guard her till I see her again at the airport.

I couldn’t cry because it is not sadness, I couldn’t smile, knowing it is a betrayal of the voice of my heart. All I can do, is that in her absence, knowing God is with her always. That’s all it matters because I love her so much, but I know my truer first love, will be there forever.

The Anointed Life

I am reading this book by Charles Spurgeon – The anointed life, which is a wonderful book. At first i thought it was another devotion book like Morning and Evening but it is different, it is a book that outlines Christianity in a manner that’s approachable. Not that i have finished the book to comment on it but his preface is one that has already blessed my heart so much.

This book is another treasure that God has placed in my life recently to strengthen, to empower, and more importantly to re-assure my faith, re-affirming His love for me!

Why the church must twitter?

“I am confident – no matter what type of church you are leading, no matter what type of community you are ministering to, no matter how much you do or don’t like technology – this E-Book will lead to a conversation that needs to be had.”

Terry Storch – LifeChurch.tv

I wonder should the Church be twittering? Twittering is one of the social media platform that’s gaining rapid popularity among netizens. The platform is so popular because it allows posting of short messages on a singular platform that allows followers to follow the updates to the moments in life.

It is a great marketing tool, of which i have been exploring as one of the main options in our social media marketing campaign. However for a church to employ this platform, it runs a greater risk of packaging our faith in a marketing aspects. Question remains, how can we remain relevant to this world without becoming the world? Christianity today seeks relevancy not just in its secular appeal such as sanctuary or a quasi-yoga’istic approach to life, but it is bigger than these, it seeks a spiritual revelation of our sinful nature and the Gospel of the good news in a Saviour revealed in the person Jesus. That He died for our sins and was buried but on the third day, He rose again, and ascended into the heavens and He will be back. It is a spiritual message that must dawn in the human spirit an absolute moral direction as a result of a regeneration of our spirit.

Then the question would make more sense in whether the Church must twitter rather than Why the church should twitter.

A judge who knows his scripture! YEH!

Finally something about America that reflects the rich spiritual heritage of this nation. This judge gets my respect and i think he has asked God for wisdom…

FLORDIA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY –

In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days.  He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days.

The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge..

After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, “Case dismissed!”

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, “Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case?  The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays.”

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, “But you do.  Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.”

The lawyer said, “Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.”

The judge said, “The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, ‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God.’ Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day.  Court is adjourned.”

The beautiful sunset over the eastern sky of Singapore brought me to a standstill from the overwhelming clouds that I thought, the world is so big, and I am so small.

The wonder of life, is complicated with the pain; which so often is the subject of question of why. I’ve just learnt that a friend’s granny just passed away, i can’t helped but thought that as one grows older, such incidents must be common or increasingly common.

Is Man ready for pain, or the capacity to understand it? Perhaps Pain is the best testimony that there is a God, for He went through the pain of seeing Jesus dying on the cross, and that must be it, the so called imprint of one’s destiny with eternity lies with the issue of Pain and how Man handles it.

Foundation of a nation

Mercy and I were watching the show
“Elizabeth” which shows the person of queen Elizabeth of England and subsequent defeat of the Spanish armada. Her life aside all rumours was a life lived in mercy and dedication were at least was depicted in the show led to the foundation of the English monarch that saw England entering into a time of prosperity and peace and establishing the foundation for the British empire. Comparing that to today’s morally corrupted english monarch where the pews of the churches were empty, instead of bible, sits the Koran and the eastern mysticism and paganistic rituals and the vulgar elitists failure to display moral fibre in unabashed collaboration with the lying Bush administration. I wonder if the decline of the British and American empire are at hand.
