HARD WORDS TO BUAI CHEWERS

The woman's death is not just a wake up call to the government and the police. It should be a wake up call to all buai chewers.

The buai problem (the ban, the illegal buying and selling, the wrongful deaths at the hands of an undisciplined police force, etc.) is not a problem of SUPPLY, it's a problem of DEMAND.

The only reason buai sellers defy the ban, despite the presence of a brutal police force, is that you chewers are willing to buy from them on the streets, the busstops, and the undesignated spots. They risk their lives and limbs to meet your craving. They take the beating while you selfishly walk away with their merchandise that the city rangers or the cops foolishly scatter all over the pavement. Despite them servicing your addiction, you won't stand with them or for them when the ugly arm of the law treats them like animals.

We rubbish the buai seller like he's an animal that has no sense of compliance to the law? "Ol olsem blu lang! Polis rausim ol tasol stil ol kam!" But what of the chewer who seems to have no control over his addiction? Aren't we like animals, who must have what our body craves despite the sacrifice of the one who supplies it? Do we deserve to be beat up as the buyer, to be fair to the seller?

Buai chewers who facilitate the breaching of the law should be fined and locked up. Or dealt with exactly the same way that sellers are dealt.

The blood of the poor woman who died is on you.

She was trying to supply your need. She knew the risk of exposing herself to the thugs in blue. She knew the deadness of of their hearts. Yet she was trying to bring to you one of your most important needs. She knew you'd meet her at the busstop to collect your supplies. And despite the risk, she went out to meet you. But when the cops came they didn't see you. You were right there. You're always there. But they didn't see you. They saw her. Now she's dead.

SHE DIED FOR YOU.

But you didn't defend her. You never tell the cops "If you're going to beat her, then beat me up too!" She was the one who ran in fear. But at that instance, and every instant like it, you're the real coward.

So stop.

Stop buying where you aren't suppose to buy. Stop chewing where you aren't suppose to chew. And stop spitting where you aren't suppose to spit. Stop encouraging the seller to risk his life and limb just for your moment of high.

God made us to have cravings. But he gave us a will and an intelligence to resist feeding that craving when we are required to. That's why we're not animals.

Heavenise weekend.

Sin is Sin--And sometimes Human Rights Can be Human Wrongs

Sin is Sin—And sometimes Human Rights Can be Human Wrongs

Since the debate is popping up again I probably need to warn you non-Christians about something.

If Christians condemn homosexuals to exile or death and hell, they aren't behaving Christianly, or as Christ would. Just like when the Crusaders went on a rampage, claiming a mandate from Christ, they were actually acting on their own volition. If Christians express hate for the homosexual, rather than the act, they aren't doing what Christ would do.

Don’t assume that they represent God when they express such sentiments. They are representing themselves. Every ambassador must represent his sovereign within the rules and within a mandate allowed him by the sovereign. If he breaches those rules or that mandate, he cannot claim to represent his sovereign in that instant. Although he could cause disrepute and shame to his sovereign.

The same applies to those Christians who react in a way that Christ never intended.

But.

Don’t expect true Christians to accept and tolerate the exaltation of immorality by the activists for human rights.

There is a moral law that exists. Everyone has a perception of it. Christians recognise it as God’s standards found in His Word. We all breach that moral law all the time. When we do it’s called sin. But Christians don’t accept that our sin is ok just because “almost everyone is doing it”. Or because “that’s the way it is”. Or because “the law does not prevent it”.

And we most certainly are not willing to accept it just because the UN and the human rights movement says "it’s ok.”

Christians recognise sin both in others and themselves. We don’t like the fact that we or anyone else sin. We pray and preach against everyday sin all the time—despite the fact that we are prone to it. And to the extent that a sin is increasingly becoming acceptable and encouraged, Christians will respond with righteous anger.

The problem arises when the Christian’s understanding of right and wrong clashes with the human rights advocate’s perception of right and wrong.

Christians are not mandated to curse and condemn, for they themselves are not without sin. But they are mandated by God to (1) stand up for truth and righteousness, and (2) to  stand against the rise of ungodly and immoral practices.

The most unchristian thing that a Christian could do is to say “it’s ok” to sin.

Christ never said it was ok to sin. He condemned sin. When He saved the woman caught in adultery yes He did say “He who has no sin cast the first stone.” But He also said to the woman:

“GO AND SIN NO MORE”.

When the Pharisees brought her to justice they had recognised and had already condemned the sin. But Jesus kept them from condemning the sinner, because He would not allow a sinner to condemn a fellow sinner. By doing what He did He stamped the authority of His Father as the only righteous Judge who had the authority to condemn the sinner.

But at no point in time throughout His ministry did He tell His followers to be silent about sin and accept it in others, even when their sin did not affect us. Instead He commanded them to spread the Truth—to preach the Gospel.

And that is what Christians have been doing, are doing and will continue to do as long as they have breath in their body.

They will speak of the truth about sin—including the sin of the practice of homosexuality. They will not be silent when human rights advocates, in their ignorance of truth, unwittingly try to promote a grave sin in the society and country in which those Christians live.

Lastly to fellow Christians, remember: SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.

Heavenise day!
