1 Corinthians 15:58 – Stand firm

1 Corinthians 15:58 (New International Version)

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

This verse seems to speak to me when I was struggling with all those things that don’t make sense.

Stand firm. Not in our stance but rather in our faith.

I believe and I pray that the Lord will guide our church leaders on what to do next. I have faith that our Lord Jesus will find us a path that’s best for us.

Didn’t they persecute and put our Lord on the cross to silent Him? Didn’t He rise again? Therefore, if we are strong in our faith, nothing can shake us.

Just now, I was a little disturbed. So many weird comments are coming in. They probably make sense to those who wrote and expressed their thoughts. Therefore, I let them pass through.

I am not going to bother. And I know one of these days, I may get into trouble if this thing escalates. For the Bible said, give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord. I never see my writings as accidental. I have read back some of those old posts I wrote and I know they are not my work.

Otherwise, how could one random post I write about doormats get the attention of the CM many months ago?

Today, when I looked back at things I wrote two years ago, after some religious tolerance forum, I realised that my work has not been in vain. Yes, I write many nonsensical stuffs but there are nuggets of wisdom in those. Today, some of those pages are viewed over and over again.

I do not know who reads them but the stats showed that some of these pages are often found by random surfers. May they be enlightened. I do not care which faith they profess. I have always been respectful of others’ faiths. I shall leave it to the Lord to do the rest.

Two days ago, we were asked if we wish to participate in collecting feedback regarding the Allah issue. I offered to do it. Now, we aren’t supposed to discuss it because by doing so, it means we are in contempt of the court.

Do you find it awfully funny that they can challenged it and yet, we cannot even speak about it? Anyway, there are still options for us to cover this issue. But right now, I am not sure how much I am willing to put my neck out. My fear is the repercussion it may cause the church in whole.

So, I shall take the person’s words yesterday, Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5). And to those illiterate, ignoramus, I am not talking about grabbing the piece of land we are standing on. It is about the kingdom of Heaven.
