Tough love advocator....

Some time ago, one friend told me to watch my back as I wrote about revival last month and that I am getting a lot of people uncomfortable with what I say. Then, weirdly, I received SMS from another person giving me advise not to lean on my own understanding and so on. Look, people, you cannot stomach the truth or are you blind to what is happening? I've said it before and I will say it again - blind allegiance will never help in any way of our spiritual growth. You have to understand what I write and what is my bent on the matter. We have to know the truth and the reality of things and not sweep under the filthy carpets again and again. If leaders and elders of the church are spineless and lallang, should we follow the same or should our back spine be stiffened with truth? One may ask, what is truth? Truth is the very essence of our life through the Word of God. Search deep into your hearts and know what He wants to do with you. Not being pulled like puppets on strings! I am not a word spinner or a spin doctor of events. I believe in calling a spade, a spade and at the same time, I respect each individual rights to their own opinions. I do not force my opinions on others and neither do I expect others to be like me. Like all individuals, I am also susceptible to my own actions, inactions and reactions. I say this again: Why are we so afraid to talk about our church spiritual condition? I am simple minded in saying that if something is not right, say it is not right. Why should we say "right" when the things are not right? To me, that's hypocrisy! You can call it wisdom, survival or whatsoever you like but it is still hypocrisy. In each and everyone of us, we cannot run away from the fact that we make mistakes and we will continue to make mistakes. The difference is how we repent is important. Grace, genuine repentence or continue to do mistakes? You choose your own reaction to this questions. The bottom line is "what does the Word says about this?" That's the bottomline. If it is not consistent or we try to piece this verse or that verse to be consistent with our thoughts for everyone to accept then we are dumber than the donkeys! People will see through us within seconds and call us fakers.
I will say it again that the church has long become a spiritual spa for the complacent, the comfortable and the influential. It is such a comfortable boat and let us not rock it - some will say it loud and clear to you. We have become accustomed to be gullible to any message that suits our ears and suits our environment and we call it Saturday/Sunday service. Then we rush to buy products after products through book, tapes, DVDs only to keep them on our shelves and dust them during the monthly cleaning process. We milked from one man of God to another and call it the call of God for us when what we achieve at the end of the day is a another day of "feel good" message and make believe that we are spiritually well and "all is good" mentality. I am very amused that there are calls for banning of this or that blog because it is such a perversion for our young people's state of mind or are my writings too are hitting right to the core like a pin to the pin hole of favoritism, cowardness or even powers of corruption? To be honest, I couldn't care less if there is a call for my head! Speak the truth, speak loud and clear. If God wills that my head will roll then I say, let it roll. But if it is not God's will, then, let me say my opinions as it is. Afterall, I am amused too that for some opinions to get people all uptight and squirmed then there must be something there, isn't it? Jeng, jeng, jeng.....! I just love the suspence! Better than Sherlock Holmes & Dr.Watson's investigations!

Yunno, I am constantly confronted with the fact that the greatest failure in our church society today is when righteous people, there are many in our church today, who do absolutely nothing at all. This is the all time greatest tragedy of mankind, ever. Look, I am not asking each and everyone of us to take up arms or cause a revolt in our church today. All I am asking for us, as a church to do the right thing. Have a revolution in your heart to change for the better and begin to look at the needs around us. Let us just not talk about love, care and concern when we do not even know the real meaning of love, care and concern. Enough of hiding under the pretense. Enough of hoarding. Enough of excuses. Enough of playing Church! Wake up and take a walk of reality. Take a good look at the widows. Take a good look at the young people. Take a good look at the our church society. Take a good look at the needs around us. Take a good look at the needy. Take a good look at the people who had been out of job recently and struggling families. Take a good look. For goodness heaven's sake, TAKE A GOOD LOOK!

I am not sympathetic at all towards leaders who lie through their teeth or even protest that everything is well and okay when they know damn well that it is not okay at all. I call them cowards because that's what they are. Cowards because they want to protect their stay in power. Cowards because they want to be respected by the community and feel good inside. Cowards because as long as it doesn't concern them, it is okay. Cowards because they forget they have a moral obligation and social responsibilities on their shoulders. Cowards because they just go with the flow and everything is A-ok! Cowards because they let others be sacrificed rather than themselves. Cowards because they throw a fistful of dollars and calls them sacrifice and good will. Cowards because they forget that the eyes of Lord watches over them too.

Like I said during my sharing, I am NO ANGEL and neither do I ever claimed to be one. I am just another face in the multitude of crowds but I know one person who had changed and impacted my life around and his name is JESUS! For your information, He just did not preached love but practised tough love as well. I am one of those who is an advocator of tough love though I am still learning each curve each day. I crave not for powers, popularity or whatsoever which I may be accused off. I am just another advocator of tough love, that's all. If you are a genuine advocator too in whatever capacity you are, just know that it's God's approval that matters.... not men!~
