Sorry for my previous emo post.
I am a person very into history. World War 2, 3 Kingdoms, Singapore History. I just love History. I know many people don't like history. It's full of words and information. Too much information. BUt why not put yourself into that year, into that action or generation, isn't it much easier to understand? I don't know if it works for you, but usually i will put myself into that situation experience it, and i better understand it. =)
History is such an interesting thing. We can learn from past mistakes or inspire by it to do better. Pastor KOng was preaching about ancient China, on how China was so open to the gospel, but due to some reglious people, China closed up. Remember the Indian guy?Ghandi?I forgot his name. The guy with a blad skin head and wear specs, he went into a church with his normal wear which is, a big cloth wrap around his body. He wanted to enter into hear the preaching, but what happen? He was stopped by the so call "security" at that time. In the end, the whole of INdian was not saved. If he could just enter in and hear the message, what would have happen? If China and INdian, the 2 country with the world largest amount of people living in the country getting saved,what would have happen?
Now i want to say about the modern world. Are we still judgemental about how people wear when they enter into the house of GOd, if they wear like how Ghandi wear, would we still look at them with a funny look face? I betyou would. I believe the Security in the church will be paying double attention to the person. If the person wears a monk clothing into the church, how would we think? I know PAstor KOng did mention about him not gonna wear a monk clothing in, but he doesn't mind people wearing it.
I really hope we can embrace everyone normal or abnormal whole heartly. Regardless of background, clothing they are wearing, how they behave, Jesus still die for them. Isn't it? I know we are not perfect, but why not we try embracing them with the love of God? I believe everyone needs God, no matter how successful the person is, there's always a hole that only God can fill it.
Embrace them, love the, listen to them, meet their needs. That's all that God wants from us. The lost is out there need us to show them the Love God has for us, let's do it for the Glory of God!
