WE HAVE BECOME WHAT WE ALWAYS HATED

SEVENTEENTHmarchtwoohohseven

today will be the last day of the G12 conference.
now on hindsight, i have indeed caught the spirit of the VISION.
praise God!

the Holy Spirit led me to,

"They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace." - Jeremiah 6:14

i see the ppl of past weren't too different from us.
some of them, too, like us, were afraid to ROCK THE BOAT.

imagine a fellow believer has a problem.
and approaches u.
what would u do?

would some of us just 'go thru the motion' of addressing it?
("They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.")
"aiya.. this problem ah? don't worry, very common.. just pray lor! very simple.."

come on guys. sometimes i am convicted of it myself.
these past few days i have come to realise the IMPORTANCE of the SPIRITUAL FAMILY:
they should provide us EVERYTHING we would ever need.
is it happening?

come on guys. let's love each other with the sincere LOVE of Christ as we are supposed to.
if a fellow brother has a problem, address it appropriately with LOVE. take time to pray for him, and follow up with him on the problem. if need be, walk the problem thru TOGETHER with him. i mean, that's what FAMILY is for!
no wonder ppl don't feel as loved as they should be.

another kind of person the Scripture brought to light is the type that ignores a potential problem.
("'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace.")
they prefer peace and quiet. they prefer to ignore the 'small' problem for the convenience of themselves. they say,
"aiya.. don't bother la. small problem only. everyone will also like that one.."

come on guys. if Christ prompts us about a problem, let us address it in LOVE.
if we really care for our brother, we wouldn't dodge the problem, but mentor him toward Christ-likeness, because that is the only TRUE way to go.
let's take responsibility for our BROTHERS in Christ!

which person are u? 1 or 2? or both? or 3?
i don't think we can say we are quite there yet. at least i know i can't.
i pray that we'll be neither. and grow in LOVE and UNITY in CHRIST.

MY APPLICATION: to call up Tristan and have a nice friendly chat with him because he didn't come for service today.

we are FAMILY!
