So far, 8 churches have been attacked with one church is quite badly damaged. Although not the whole building has been torched, burning is still burning. And attempting to burn the church also is a criminal offence. And those who were involved directly or indirectly have to face the consequences.
Our God is a God with full of passionate and love!
Yet, he is also an Angry God where no man can stand in the presence of his wrath!! Example, when Uzzah disobeyed the God’s commandment and accidently placed his hands on the Ark of Covenant, he was struck down to death. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah was also destroyed due to God’s anger over the homosexuality that is being practiced there!!
Having an example that we didn’t see with our own eyes will not bring any effect on us. Those incidents which took place thousands of years ago could not really impart how angry our God can get!
To give an actual picture of God’s wrath, there is an incident which took place just a few years ago. An incident which shocked the whole world!!
Remember 26th December 2004? When ACEH was totally destroyed by the tsunami!! Aceh is a cursed town where many churches has been torched and even pastors, evangelist, missionaries has been killed!! Christians were also having a very tough time. The waves, totally wiped out the city .
Our God can be compassionate and at the same time, He can be fierce as a Lion!!!
HOWEVER, sg.news.yahoo.com reported
“…Despite the attacks, thousands of Christians nationwide(in Malaysia) attended Sunday services and prayed for national unity and an end to the violence.
Men, women and children from the Metro Tabernacle parish assembled Sunday in a cavernous, 1,800-seat meeting hall of the Malaysian Chinese Association party for the service. They lifted their hands and sang "We put all our faith in you," and "You are the God of love and peace."..”
It is important to know with whom we are messing up with first before doing something. The circumstances could be terrible one!!!
