Ugly Malaysians! Forgive them..

My heart saddens and filled with much grief when I came to know that a few churches had been blatantly torched late yesterday night. Though there weren't any congregation at church in that late hours of the night but there is always a watchman in these building. What would have happened if the watchman was trapped inside a flaming building? Who would like to explain to their family members on what had happened? Should there be death before the authorities can act? Do we want to fan more sentiments of religious hatred?

To me, torching a building is a cowardly act, master of all dumbness and doesn't even represent any religion that we practised in our nation today. It is definitely a waste of God's gift to bestow upon these "people on motorbikes" with brains, actually, if you ask me. As Christians, let us not react the way these brainless people wants us to react. Even though this is a blatant provocation and an invitation for us to meet with intimidation and fear tactics, Christians and Malaysians as a whole nation are a mature lot. Let us not be fearful nor afraid of such intimidation but to remain calm and always in prayer. Remember, our Christian faith teaches us to love our enemies and turn the other cheek even with our tormentors. I know that it is easier said than done but we are mature enough to weather this storm. I must say that this blatant attack is not about religion. These attacks are to me, personally, a political boost to a waning support the government had been craving for all these while. The things that will rile up the rakyat is either by fanning the hatred flames on race or creating controversy in religious interpretation. Many educated and non-educated Malaysians of all faith get sucked in and get themselves entangled in such hatred games. At the end of the day, the hatred is so thick that it leads to such momentary act of stupidity and moronity. We have seen this tactical ploy being played over and over again from generations to generations. It is a curse to our nation to have leaders like that and we must pray to break this bondage of hatred & misunderstanding against one another. Historical facts don't lie and we, as good Malaysians - Malay, Chinese, Indians, Sikh, Dayaks, Kadazans, Portuguese and others MUST stand the test of such times in our nation. We must continually stand in the gap in our respective faith to pray for all Malaysians irrespective of race, colour, creed or faith. Let us not be a tool of such dastardly act of ignorance and hatred. Let us promote love , respect and faith in one another.

As a Christian, I stand here today to appeal for my brothers/sisters in the Christ to stay CALM and at peace. I appeal greatly to you to pray and to intercede more than ever even if all of our churches are burnt to the ground today. Like I said many times, the church building doesn't make you a Christian. It is the love of God and only the love of God that will truly prevail. His Grace is sufficient to us! Let us forgive our perpetrators and stand on His Word of Grace and Mercy!

SHALOM & PEACE BE WITH YOU!
