When Pastor Khong and Love Singapore wears white
today in protest against the GLBT Pink Dot and affirmation of his family
structure, it is not blibical.
A clergy friend of mine, dislikes the song "Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb"?. But its my favourite song because it summarises the
bible. It speaks of Jesus and His death and crucifixion.
There is no cleansing power of wearing white on our
own accord, and law obedience. It will lead to self righteousness and
hypocrisy, leading to increasing sin. Hence, the more religious one is,
the bigger sinner with a closet full of skeletons. Religion is about
being white on the outside. Christianity is about being white on the
inside.
There is only two clothing in the bible:-
a) Naked as in the first Adam and Eve
b) You wear Goat skin covered with blood as God put on
Adam and Eve, reflective of the animal's death for their sins.
If we were to be blibical, we would put on the blood
soaking garments of Jesus. We would wear red, not by our blood, but by
His blood that we have nothing to boast about. We can't be white by
boasting our righteousness of being moral crusaders.
We can't wear white washing ourselves clean either by praying repeatedly
per day, or by confession. We are cleansed by the blood of the lamb.
Christians are supposed to be innately white just as Gays are innately
Pink.
As we put on white this Sunday to affirm that we are
holy and righteous just because we are straight, and are moral people
(according to our religious laws), we are attracting sin just as
vultures are attracted to dead meat. We are opening the doors of the
church wide to the devil.
We can put on white garments when it is not our
righteousness or our morality according to the law, or because we are
straight, but solely because of the cleansing blood of the Lamb of God.
When we put on white this Sunday for the wrong
motivation, we are putting the Law of Moses unto the life of the church.
It will only lead to lawlessness.
When the churches wear white today, without the right
believing and motivation, we are are calling upon judgement on
ourselves. We open a door for the devil to come into the life of the
church.
We wear white supernaturally, when we are trusting in
God's love, grace, and mercy through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is not
about our morality, our family constuction. It is all about Jesus
Christ, our Hope and Glory.
When we are washed in the blood on the lamb, we walk
daily in God's grace every hour, and resting each moment in the
Crucified.
This is Amazing Grace whom we live by, being washed in
the fountain of God's grace. We stand, resting and receiving with
outstreched arms, standing by faith and hope in the completed works at
the Cross of Calvary.

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Refrain:
Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?Are you washed in the blood of
the Lamb?
When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, And be washed in the
blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
