Jesus Christ Decides

Lately, there has been a lot of display of knowledge, with praises and condemnation to judgement from the various people over the emergence of a gay pastor in the midst of the Christian community in Malaysia. What's the hue and cry all about?

To all you people out there, whether you are a Christian or not...if your son or daughter or a loved one close to your heart is gay, what will you do? How do you seek help?

Has anyone who has been sharing their know all about rights and wrongs of what they know in the Bible attended the services by this gay pastor recently?

Did this gay pastor promotes homosexuality in his preaching? Or is he trying to bring gays to the knowledge of Jesus Christ? Was he using the Lord's name in vain to promote homosexuality or was he given an agenda by God to establish His son, Jesus, to the gay community?

Paul was hunting down Christians, persecuting them, and executing them before Jesus called him to serve Him. Does that mean Paul, who was an enemy of God, was disapproved of God? One of God's biggest commandment was not to kill, so, why was Paul, an accomplice in the crime, chosen to serve God?

I have heard a lot of stories by Christians themselves judging and condemning other Christian denominations, discerning who are wrong and who are right. It's as though these people knows the hearts of man! Perhaps these people have the ability to examine the hearts of man. Perhaps they believed they are gods!

Honestly, I thought a true Christian is someone who is obedient to the teachings of Jesus Christ and live his life obedient to the Holy Spirit. I thought the issue of judgement belongs exclusively to Jesus.

If Paul, who was a "killer" of God's chosen people was chosen to serve, why not a gay?

In 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And He chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.

So do you know how God works? Who He chose to bring Him honor and glory?

God is after a worker who is after His heart and will to serve Him. God wanted a worker who will yield to Him, totally dependant of His strength and wisdom to serve Him. God is after a person who will labor obediently according to His instructions and not just someone who talks a lot.

Who can work for God without God helping them by the Holy Spirit? Well, if God, Himself is helping these workers by His Spirit, then who are we to comment on God's servants?

So, if God has chosen a person to do His will, who are we to judge God's chosen?

How about you started questioning whether your pastor is an approved worker or is he an illegal worker of God? Is he chosen or is he on his own?

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for his sheep. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don't belong to him and he isn't their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hands runs away because he's working only for the money and doesn't really care about the sheep. John 10:11-13

Before you judge what's outside your church, how about starting from inside your church?

You might be in for a surprise!
