This blog was created to address the issues of rising rebellions in many churches in Malaysia. Christians are mere mortal albeit saved and sanctified.
Most pastors/ deacons and leader are clueless on how to handle this rebellions in their local churches.
The trend was this kind of rebellion was normally seen in mega churches and the end is simple - what mega church!!??
This blog will be based upon the following scripture:-
Ephesians 6:10-20 (NKJV):-
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
These people who rebel are totally ignorant of the consequences of their actions. They choose to be ignorant of the many lives that have been hurt, the missed chance of touching another person with the truth of Jesus and creating stumbling blocks all along the christians walk for many new and "old" christians. It is very sad.
Young christian as precious as they are are also taking the path of rebellions, thinking that they know better.
What are we trying to achieve here:-
1. Create a voice for the silent majority.
2. Enable the pastors to exhange thoughts.
3. Provide encourgement for the leaders.
4. Expose these rebels.
5. Provide an avenue for mediation, collabration and negotiation.
6. Assess the impact of rebellion in the local church.
7. Assess the impact of the rebellion in the general public.
