Dear All:
I've been thinking about a few things recently and would like to
share with all of us here in this sub-forum.
Been thinking about how have people been perceiving Christians
[in singapore context mainly]. Maybe i would like to make a
distinction between a Christian and a mere Fanboy.
A fanboy, or a fan, is someone who everyday puts the name of God
or Jesus on their mouth, they can sing songs about God or Jesus in
lunchtime. [what's so different then replacing the name of Jesus
with some star or singer?in this sense?] Besides this they like to
say that this is wrong that is sin etc etc.
But seldom people are reminded of what Christians should be
like. While the things that i mentioned on top is not wrong, there
should be more than that, that could come out from Christians.
People have long since felt or see grace overflowing from
Christians. Or at least when is the last time any of us here have
heard a kind word from the so-called Christian forumers here? When
is the last time that the actual impression of Christians is that
of one that helps the poor and needy? When is the last time we see
solid Bible Preaching and not something flimsy and lovey-dovey?
When will we see people such as Mother Theresa [and i'm even
quoting a roman Catholic], John Calvin, John Wesley or Bishop
Desmond Tutu?
May we all remember that Jesus said "Not everyone who says to
me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who
does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
Dear Christians, may we all actually be transformed inwardly, so
strongly by the Grace of God, that what flows out from us, is
grace, and not some ya-ya kind of attitute.
regards,
Don
