Had lunch with some Ezer peeps with Rev Yap and Mrs Yap @ the same table. During their chat, the thought came to mind:If homosexuality is not mentioned in the bible, and we still have FCC, would FCC adopt an "open" approach in welcoming/respecting everyone's point of view? Would they have a set of non-negotiables like most of the other churches?
What I am saying is, is the reason why "no one could ever be sure if they interpret the bible correctly" theory because homosexuality is written as something that is wrong in the bible?
Question is: what are the unshakables and immovables? What is the constant that we can hold on to? What is the core that we believe in, that every christian in the church of Jesus Christ agrees on? I pray for God's revelation someday soon.
I enjoyed the worship today. Every song was ministering, especially the last song that was sung.
You are so beautiful,
there is none that compares to You,
who can take my brokeness
and make something new, only You,
Merciful Father
there is none that compares to You
who can take my bitterness
and make something sweet, only You
You're beautiful to me.
You'll be my song for all eternity.
You're overtaking every part of me.
You're beautiful to me.
Indeed, Jesus is beautiful and sometimes, I feel that He consumes all of my heart and soul. That is such a mind-blowing feeling.
It's quite funny. Sometimes, I feel that I am so absorbed with God and the things of God, that I worry I might not be able to fit into the "real" world where they have "real" conversations. Amazingly, when I come out from the holy of holies, I feel more confident, more secure, more settled, and wiser.
I was just sharing with a friend how i feel transformed after an extensive time of worshipping the Lord. And though the transformation is intangible and immeasurable, I really do feel changed. I know there is at least one verse in the bible explaining this but I am lazy to find out which.
I want to start writing my own love songs to Jesus too.

I think love should be the core of Christianity that we can hold on to. God is love and we know what is love and how great is love when we are deeply in love with God.
Some additional thoughts: If we believe God is good and love, then the interpretation of the Bible has to promote love and justice.
I sgree with you, that love is the core of Christianity. Funny thing is, love also means the love of God and the love of God might mean discipline at times. THe love of God also leads to justice.
Our love, when it is our own, is imperfect and sometimes we may be deceived to think that our love is oh so important to others, but sometimes, that's not the case.
That right kind of love, only when it outflows from God, is perfect, good and effective.
Just some food for thought. :)
thanks for sharing WL
