Posted by a friend: "I hate Christians, and I only want to be around ...atheists, queers, fill in the blank". I said something similar around three years ago. I did not mean the whole group, but really wanted to be passive-aggressive about the hurt I was feeling, and my anger towards those I assumed were religious. I now understand how my lament cut into the hearts of those I had been around. My generalizations about "Christians" lumped everyone into a category- and some of those were people I loved. I railed with anger, and wanted everyone to listen to me cause I was a fucking prophet. and I hurt people. People I cared for- people who read my words and were offended. How mean I was to the church and the individuals who make up that category. And yet, I never meant sweet little old Martha, nor sweet Susy Jane and Bobby Joe who brought me soup when I was sick and nearly dead during my first month of seminary. But yet, I was so damned angry that I alienated everyone with a series of facebook posts and tweets. I lost their trust, and the ability to be heard as a prophet, teacher, or even a different voice. I lost my voice, because I shut them down, I closed them off, and I lumped them into categories. I told them to see the Divine in the Muslim, the gay, the foreigner, and the atheist, and yet I didn't bother to see the divine in them. I was prideful. I thought I was "educated." I thought I was the posterfuckinggirl for the new Pentecostals. And all the time Philippians 2 lingered in my head & heart about serving all, and laying down power, and loving others, but I was too angry to listen. So I rejected everyone, lumped them into a category. I was a bigot. and I was wrong. Now, when I hear this from friends who are expressing hurt, I tilt my head and lean in, wanting them to know that I care about their feelings. And if they can hear from me, I will give them a safe space to share this pain. And also, I will show them that not all "Christians, Jesus people, spiritualists, fill in the blank" are complete dicks - but sometimes we have bad days, and bad weeks. And we do piss people off, hurt people and alienate people. But I hope to God I have also learned some wisdom. No matter how disgusted, pissed off, or feeling righteous indignation against injustice I hope to never lump everyone into a category, but rather say "we" - Rebecca Bec Cranford-Smith

hmm,
Mr Eugene Seow, 52, executive director of Touch, says Pastor Khong is a leader who is open to new ideas and gives people the freedom to try out different things.
“He’s also a very transparent and honest person. He shares things about his personal life so that people can understand him better,” he adds.
One of the very personal things that he volunteers to Life! without any prompting is that Priscilla is a single mother, with a five-year-old son born out of wedlock.
“I’m not ashamed of talking about it. In fact, I told my church members when it happened,” he says.
But he says it broke his heart when he first knew that she was pregnant and he was so mad that he wanted her to leave the family home.
However, his wife talked to him and he forgave Priscilla. His grandson Isaac is now the apple of his eye and he sends the boy to school every day.
“I don’t hold grudges. Whatever you’ve done, whether you’ve taken drugs or committed a crime, if you say ‘I’m wrong, please help me’, I will bend backwards to help you,” he says with quiet resolve.
“This is my job. But if you continue to sleep around or beat up your wife, then I’ll say, leave my church. I will not help you, but I will help your wife to get a divorce.”
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, why the fuck this pastor cannot forgive adultery.:oIo:
Be like Jesus mah.
Be like Jesus mah.
Maybe because his wife cheated on him hence he is dead set against adultery.Jesus died on the cross for our sins, why the fuck this pastor cannot forgive adultery.:oIo:

lianbeng replies: because he is NOT Jesus lah!
Woohoo! A superduper hypocrite pastor!
And those idiot go listen to him speak his hypocrisy regularly. Must be brain dead zombies walking around with open wallets for the pastor to pick.
his is the right thing for the church to do, letter writer says.

Dear New Nation,
I would like to congratulate Pastor Lawrence Khong of Faith Community Baptist Church for his courage to do the right thing in the face of public ridicule.
It was reported in the media today that he fired his church employee last year for sinning — specifically, committing adultery and getting pregnant, while her divorce was still not finalised.
Priscilla Khong
Priscilla Khong
The sacked employee, however, had the cheek to go to the Ministry of Manpower to complain because she was not given salary and maternity benefits. For shame.
Let us look at the facts to see how Pastor Lawrence Khong is correct for doing what he did.
Pastor Lawrence Khong said the justification for firing the employee is sound: “We are a church. If we concede that the dismissal was unjust, it means we are condoning adultery and it will weaken our moral and spiritual authority in the organisation.”
Imagine what would happen if he let the adulteress remain in the church? How will her behaviour influence her colleagues? There is absolutely no good reason he should continue to keep her and set a bad example for everyone.
Except if the woman sinning is his own daughter.
Because last time, when Pastor Lawrence Khong’s daughter Priscilla Khong got herself pregnant without getting married, he did not cast her into the wilderness.
He did what every good Christian would do: Forgive and forget. He did the right thing to protect his own flesh and blood. Pastor Lawrence Khong showed exemplary behaviour by acting as if everything is normal for his daughter.
This is staying true to the spirit of God’s word.
On the other hand, to cast his employee aside and let her wander the wilderness while pregnant because she did something sinful like adultery, is definitely commendable.
Because at the end of the day, committing adultery is worse than getting pregnant out of wedlock.
Yours truly,
Conservative Nazi

true, afterall what's a fuck between friends. The baby was only following the message to go forth and multiply
Huh? Why drag the daughter into it? I don't think she commented on this case at all. No matter what the father says or does, she is an adult and responsible for her own actions. For all we know she already broke ties with her controlling father.
“I don’t hold grudges. Whatever you’ve done, whether you’ve taken drugs or committed a crime, if you say ‘I’m wrong, please help me’, I will bend backwards to help you,” he says with quiet resolve.
Did anyone spot what's wrong with the statement he made?

EXACTLY! Agree 100%!
FCBC wants to have their own Christian syariah laws?
They still perform magic together....where got break ties?
What magic? The daughter preaching in that church?
jesus also born out of wedlock, that's why his daughter case ok.
so She had immaculate conception?
