The season has so quickly changed from summer to winter as the Gay Marriage battles are effectively over in the US, turning to the next front – the abortion battles, and the rights of illegal migrants.

I saw a Christian pastor in tears as an anti-death penalty advocate shared pertinent stories about those wrongly accused. But are we consistent to respect all life? Continue reading →

The Hope Concert was held in Dec 2007, a concert attended by GLBT folks, the largest ever of 700 to 900 attended by a Government Minister for the purpose of supporting AIDS initiatives. It was a year and a half before the first Pink Dot.

It is interesting after 8 years how the recollection of many seemed to have changed, of how they supported the Hope Concert. But the reality was that, it was a miracle, and we were lectured by many Gay and straight Christian leaders that it would be a waste of money and resources. Being the Charismatic Christian, all I said was that I felt it was from God. Continue reading →

The liberal churches have won! Gay marriage is approved. But in a way, the universal church has lost. There is now no more single issue that galvanise the church. They will go back to their Sunday picnic for the churches never had a monopoly over ministry to the poor and sick to be an exiting cause.

The Gay marriage conflict has made many churches become very narrow in their dogmatic theology either far left or far right. The right couldn’t count the number of wives that Solomon had, but the left didn’t see that God was more perturbed that the wives worshipped other gods apart from the God of Israel.

Micah 6:8 He hath shown thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

June 26, 2015 is destined to become Pride Day, the day when the US Supreme Court legalize gay marriage.

At the end of the day, it was not just to give marriage to straight people and not gay people. Neither, did the church do mercy to give room that some people are not born straight but are born gay. Because we have not walked humbly before God nor realised it is all by His grace in Christ Jesus and not by our righteousness. Continue reading →

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Love Singapore and FCBC came out with 6,000 wearing white at Suntec and Marine Parade in order to oppose Pink Dot 2015. This was much lower than the Pink Dot numbers of 28,000.

By next year, Pink Dot 2016, they may want to wear white again but the churches may then have their own moral issues to deal with pertaining to the corruption cases of the mega churches in moral issues involving Hollywood exploits into the hedonistic dance world. Continue reading →

Rev 10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

PinkDot 2015 was a historic event with over 28,000 in attendance. Hitherto, the churches have been praying for heavy rain to come to disrupt the event. Love Singapore will be wearing white today

Instead of the heavy rain, there was the cloud by day from the days of Israel to block from the harshness at the day heat. In the evening, there came an unusual sight of slightly pink clouds. When the time for countdown, there was a very slight drizzle, just enough for a freshing touch without needing to put on the umbrella. God was indeed with His people at Pink Dot in the desert.

Acts 2: 1When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

When the Holy Spirit came back after Jesus death and resurrection, it was havoc. Often, I am afraid of the Holy Spirit because He leads me out of my comfort zone. But without the Holy Spirit we become Fatherless because He brings us the spirit of sonship.

When we give Him space, the Holy Spirit leads us to a greater revelation of the bible and Jesus Christ, His finished works at the Cross. He is our comforter and our champion. Continue reading →

Luke 14: 12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, themaimed, the lame, the blind. 14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

In the recent decades, we see the outreach to the poor being considered as an exclusive domain of the Liberal Progressives and their Social Gospel. However, the heart of Jesus to the poor, and sick is part of blibical christianity, not that the evangelicals are turning progressive.

The ministry to the poor is often embraced by the evangelical charismatics and Pentecostals. In City Harvest in the mid 90s, we have the slogan, “Church without walls”. Alas, often the temptation of power and wealth takes over. Continue reading →

Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Love Singapore/FCBC is encouraging their members to wear white on 13 and 14 June 15 in support of “natural” family in opposition to the Pink Dot 2015 planned for 13 June 2015. Wear white is not natural for who is righteous and sinless? Indeed, the church should wear black for the incredible harm done against the gay community. Continue reading →

Pro 28:6 Better is the poor man who walks in his integrity than he who willfully goes in double and wrong ways, though he is rich.

It was albums not enough at the mega church. Members buying multiple copies of secular CD of their pastor as giftaways, church buy back as gifts to other churches or at events, large marketing expenses to improve the dance chart ratings. It was desperately loosing and they knew it but still maintain a cover of 4 million albums being sold in Pastor Kong’s Shallow Wholesome blog entry. Continue reading →
