Wacky Wicked World
Verses of the day:
2 Peter 2:6 - ...if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and 7 others, if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (homosexual cities) by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly, and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard) - if this is so, then The Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of Judgment, while continuing their punishment.
Psalm 37: 1-2 - “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.”

today when i was discussing project with my schoolmates, the topic suddenly turned very very sexual. i was at a loss to what i should do. and i was both shocked and astonished that even the girls were talking about the stuff. (i used to be like this though)
i don't claim to be sinless and i won't LOOSELY claim that i am "holy" because i know God is the true Holy One. but we as His children are called to try our best to be holy.
it was a weird moment for me. when my schoolmates started to immerse themselves in the sexual content, laughing, giggling and joking. at that point of time, i was thinking of what do u all know?
i was asking God to protect the Church's sheep from the decadence of the world's moral values, and praying that NEVER NEVER WILL THESE kind of people who gratify and love sinful desires, come near my cell group members. never. (though they are my schoolmates...)
it is
astonishing to see how people my age have been so drastically
desensitised by the evil of satan. how they have forgetten what their
parents have taught them, how they have discarded their "soft" and
"discerning" heart towards evil. i felt really really bad.
God made us to be like Him, not to defile ourselves and to learn from the pits of hell.
i felt really oppressed at the moment. nowhere did i have a stand to say anything. i was at a loss for words.
i
could REALLY just imagine how possible and how EAGER, that if there was
a chance, that atheists and God-haters will wanna lay their hands on
Christians and just finish us off.
"God, let not the culture of the world seep into Your Church, deliver the righteous from the wicked"
its freaky to know that the people who were indulging in the conversation were ex-christians, and a Catholic. A non-believer just kept quiet like i did. Shame on people who bring a bad name to The Holy God.
like i say, i don't claim to be perfect and holy. BUT, i admit that i am a sinful man and i die to my sinful self everyday. If anyone claims to be without sin, one is a HYPOCRITE and a liar to himself.
These days, it is getting harder to be a true faithful Christian. I pray that saints around the world will be faithful, patient to await our Prince and Saviour to come.
Alpha and Omega be with you all believers.
