Sayang Sayang

Sayang Sayang II just wrapped on Sunday. It has been a good 34 days with 3 days at Club Med Bali.

I'm now at the airport going to Okinawa to shoot on an Aircraft Carrier!

Some thoughts birth by AWAREgate

We're seeing a lot of drama within the Christian community lately. It's not yet time to "stand up and be counted for", but time to let the Lord "build His house". I strongly believe that those who "build their house upon the rock" will be the ones who will touch the community in their humility and fervency serving the Lord with little or no fanfare at all. This is opposed to some preachers who make sweeping "prophetic" statements that turns out the opposite. I am referring to a preacher who declared at a nation wide event that Sg will be a "Christian nation" a few years ago (last decade, I believe). Lately, with all the bad press concerning some churches and church leaders, their blessings has turned out to be a curse- a laughing stock. Just like the title of one of the songs in "Jesus Christ Superstar", we ought to ask ourselves "Would Jesus wear a rolex?"

If Christians want to cause some upheaval, let it be because we're preaching the gospel. In our wisdom, let our words be few. For there is a time to be quiet and let our lives be Christ's witness. There will be days when we need to preach like Stephan did, and get "stoned" by society.

Am I becoming too pragmatic? I have a feeling I might be.

Different light

I use to hear about the "spheres of influence" that Christians can have an effect in. There are definitely better ways of affecting our society than "storming the AWARE-gate". The only time when Jesus storm any gates in the bible was at the Temple gate- He cleaned up his own house. And the weapon of choice he used to affect other is with his heart- he preached the gospel. I wonder if this saga will cause others to look at Christians in a different light.
