School starts this Sunday, 6 Apr 08!

Every stallion first started out as a wild rookie. It's kind of the same as a Christian. We need God to tutor our hearts in a way that will allow us to be transformed into the fullness of who has created us to be, so that we can reflect His glory. That's what we hope to share with and impart to you in our Ladder Of Success classes. That's why after a season of prayer and fasting, SCHOOL STARTS THIS SUNDAY! Mark the 6th of April 08 down! Lessons start at 10am but do come at least 15 min earlier to get your registration done and to prepare your hearts to receive of the Lord. Come and be transformed by the renewing work of Christ in your lives today!

QUESTION!!!

i have a question!

actually a few questions. in fact, ALOT. in 2 main categories.
which have been burning inside me for quite some time now.
nagging.
pestering.
boiling.
raging.


QUESTION NUMBER ONE is..
u see, i have friends in the showbiz industry. in particular, modelling, miss singapore universe runner upping, and singapore idol second runner upping.
so i have been thinking,

• WHAT'S it like for a Christian to be in the showbiz industry? i know its possible, but..

• WHAT are the boundaries?

• IF u were a Christian and miss singapore universe, is it biblically possible to appear scantily clad on the cover of 8 Days? or,

• IF u were a Christian model/actor/actress, and were told to do a kissing scene, is it wrong?

do u go ahead? or do u say no? what if ur miss singapore universe and have no choice but to wear the bikini anyway? or ur a model and have to do those suggestive poses. do u have to quit the job? and then all miss singapore universes and models have to be non-Christian?

ok. very random. was just releasing the buzzing bees in my head.


QUESTION NUMBER TWO is..
about music. we all listen to, but of course not dwell on, secular music. but, are there boundaries? my musical influences are wide and varied, and although i know the difference between satanic, secular, christians-in-a-secular-band, christian bands, and worship songs,

• ARE there genres that are totally no-no? genres like, say, growling howling deathmetal?

• WHAT IF they are Christian-themed growling howling wailing?

i, too, question the spirit of the genre, but what are ur views? if u look at some of the lyrics, some are actually biblical quotes or Christian-themed. nevermind the hoarse vocals, but what if he's saying stuff like, "purify me, Lord. take my pain away." is it alright, then? is it wrong? do we exclude them? and leave the metalcore scene to the non-Christians? or do we say, "thank God for their boldness in promoting Christian values and shedding some light into these dark genres?"


sorry, alot of WHAT IFs, i know. but these have been at the back of my mind for quite some time already: QUESTIONS regarding the BOUNDARIES of a Christian - we are to go into the world and preach the gospel, but is there actually a limit?

i sincerely hope we can share our views here, and discuss the topic openly so that we can all benefit from the clarity of the conclusion.

thank u for ur time!
