NAME


What's in a name? "and ah, ME?"---> N. A. ME. or EN.E.MY? LOL
Today is a real interesting day for Christians all over Malaysia and of cause a "Defend God's Honor aka Dignity(Maruah) day" for our really gaung-ho neighbours...

The good Samaritan parable prologue:
"Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" questioned an expert in the Law
"What is written in the Law? How do you read it?" said Jesus
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you strength and with all your mind and Love your neighbors as yourself" answered the expert
"You have answered correctly, Do this and you will live."replied Jesus
"Who is my Neighbour?" the expert asked.
And so begin d parable of the good Samaritan...But that is another story because my blog post today is of something else.

Our Neighbours bomb the church physically today...well, at least that's what they think la. If you go back to the original meaning of CHURCH, you will realise that CHURCH actually means the PEOPLE or COMMUNITY and not a building. LoL...

In the book of ACTS...we can see that each time the early church is persecuted, the Gospel spreads.

Our Neighbours who did the bombings or JIHAD aka Holy War and may think that they are doing God a service aka doing it for God or serving God just like Saul did when Saul persecuted the Church.

Let us pray that these Sauls may see the Light as Saul saw the Light on the way to Damascus, and perhaps these Sauls may see the Light and become Pauls :P

Let them battle physically but we know that it is a spiritual warfare. So, let us fight back spiritually for we know that what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal. Fight back Spiritually by fasting and praying and of cause don't forget to worship God.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

"Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God." 3 John 1:11

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

Judges 19:30
Everyone who saw it said, "Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came up out of Egypt. Think about it! Consider it! Tell us what to do!"
