Kong Hee

We have been blessed subscribers of Destiny Cable. We decided to shift subscription and settled for a cheaper cable network provider. My brother and I want to learn Mandarin. Destiny Cable offers several channels in Mandarin. MOre than all these, we wanted a christian channel to be on our cable tv. We have Daystar now.

We used to subscribe to Sky Cable. It was alright until they decided to terminate TCT Network. We feed on preachings from cable TV.

I wonder why my blog is entitled Kong Hee.

Its just that Iam realizing that my current church is in the perils of getting sidetracked from the main thing, when our senior pastor was often quoting that "we have to keep the main thing the main thing the main thing."

In our church's efforts to build the Filipino's identity and to elevate her status alongside the great nations of the world, it appears that the preaching on the pulpit has been making nationalism central and the bible peripheral. It is so dangerous I know. For all we know, it might be the devil's subtle work. Are we doing things in our own strength? Have we forgotten Jesus' finished work on the cross?

Its not really about making our race the best in the world, its making disciples of all nations-the great mandate after all.

Kong Hee, a minister in Singapore is very modern, has a dynamic church and they are very explicit about Jesus. The preaching is on Jesus, the bible..not a bit of nationalism. I know Singaporeans do not need this kind of preaching but still, the two hours allotted for preaching becomes a myriad of opinion, footages extolling nations, cultures, when really, the central teaching should be about the bible and Jesus.

I feel very sad about all these.

I know I should pray.

No one to talk to about these things and so I rave, rant, ramble here on this page.

I give YOu my burdens Lord.

In Jesus Name, amen.
