Romans 2:1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man,
whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn
yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.


FCBC/Love Singapore held their services last Sunday 29
July with the congregation of 6,000 wearing white in protest against the
Pink Dot.
I reflected on a facebook posting about a gay person who had
committed suicide sometime ago because of the condemnation heaped upon
him by the Christian Faith. These are the innocent lambs.
The LGBT peoples have suffered a great deal. Many have
committed suicide. Many have essentially lost their lives not living the
full potential. We have been denied much, the freedom to be, the joy to
love and to be loved. Many are living lonely and painful lives in the
prison cells put up by people of faith.
I find my heart pained with grief and sorrow of lives
lost and the shame and hurt personified. It was the lost of dignity and
worth being treated with disdain by the whimps of bad theology of those
who cared not for a soul.
The Pink Dot is very powerful as a coming out
statement, but most were under 40. Many were teenagers. The new
generation will not take their basic rights for granted. The Old has
long gone, generations of hopes and joy dashed.
It was said that there were 26,000 people at Pink Dot.
But listen closely,there was the spirit of gays long gone whose life
has suffered so much. They were roaming in the midst. Their blood
cries out, for justice. Their voices are heard no more a long time ago.
They have yearned for this day. But they can't wear pink since they
don't wear any clothes no more.
As I was reading of Pastor Lawrence Khong and his
flock of 6,000 all clad in white from top to bottom, it was an unusual
sight. For the white dot, only wore pink shirts and clothing. They were
only partially clad in pink.
The zealous Christians were fully clad in white
including white long pants which is not easy to buy.
As I was reflecting and praying before Father God, in
my mind I begin to see the picture of a white gentle lamb.
I thought it was a picture of Jesus being sacrificed
for the sin of the church. But I realised that Jesus the Gentle lamb has
already been crucified for us. The white lambs were not Jesus.
The gentle lambs, totally white, that I saw were each
of the 6,000 or more who attended the church services. It was not Jesus
but the church members.
Our sins were put on Jesus Christ, who took our sins
and a subsitution so that we could receive His righteousness. What sins
are the gentle lambs bearing?
As I was reflecting on the story told by a pastor
whose very close friend Terry had committed suicide because he was gay,
I saw the penalty for his death falling upon each of the 6,000 cladded
in white. They became the lambs to be sacrificed.
The suffering of the GLBT community, all the
injustices, pain, lost, denied of basic rights, of entire lives lost and
wasted, would fall upon each of those cladded in white. They bore the
judgement of the sins committed against the GLBT community, each one of
them became the white sacrificial lambs.
My heart was gladdened, for peace to come, justice is
to prevail, and my pain finally borned by each of those cladded fully in
white. But then I realised the massive torrent of rushing waters of
incredible torment and sufferings of the GLBT community coming upon the
foreheads of the gentle lambs fully cladded in white. The are bearing a
deep curse.
Then I remembered the Cross of Calvary, when Jesus
cried out,"Father forgive them for they do not know what they have
done". The people in white bore a terrible curse yet they know it not.
Being gay is innate, for the only choice is to love
and forgive despite loosing all because of what Christ has done in me,
and in the Hope of God's grace and mercy pouring into my life in eternal
glory one day in heaven when I return Home to Jesus.
I am weak, but thou art strong
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Refrain
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Refrain
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Refrain
