Elon Musk, one of present time greatest entrepreneur, gave an exclusive interview to a news reporter. The background to this was that he sent messages on some of his views on several issues via Twitter. The messages got on the nerve of quite many people and there was a backlash of negative comments. The reporter asked him during the interview if he would still send those messages had he consider the negative feelings that he will stir up. His reply was: “I don’t care. If speaking the truth meant that I will lose some money, so be it. I will still say what I think is truth.”

The world had gotten to be very sensitive over many issues, especially in the so-called Western “free world”. People get offended as long as what you say does not agree with their point of view. Right or wrong does not matter. As long as you are not in agreement with them, then they will come after you. Because of such behaviours, people stay away from speaking what they feel is truth. Western politicians are very apt in avoiding the truth so that their votes will not be affected.

To make matters worse is the chasing after ‘likes and views’ in their posts in the various social media platforms. A young man posted many hate speeches, even though he said they were wrong in an interview, on those platforms because ‘likes and views’ are all he is interested in.

Christians have the truth of God. The question is how many of us are actively telling people about it. Or are we too afraid that we may be ‘attacked’ by people who do not like to hear the truth about their future dire condition and the only solution. Being afraid to tell others about the truth of Jesus Christ is bad enough. Not convicted of the truth ourselves is worse. What can we share if we are not convicted of Jesus Christ ourselves? If that is the case, what are we doing in church ‘praising and worshipping’ God? Are we kidding ourselves?

Brothers and sisters in Christ, it can be said that we are in the last days. It will only become more difficult to believe in Jesus Christ, let alone share with others. Let us stand firm in our belief of Jesus Christ for our salvation and eternal life. Do not lose sight on this last stretch.

God bless,

马斯克，今天伟大的企业家之一，与记者有一个精彩的访谈。访谈的背景是他曾经在推特平台上对一些事发表了他个人的观点。他的观点令许多人坐立不安以及引起了许多负面反弹的评论。在访谈中，记者询问他，如果他知道他在推特上所推对事件的个人观点会引起负面反弹，他还会发表吗？他的回答：“我不在乎。如果因为我说了实话而亏钱，就让它发生吧。我还是会说我认为真实的话。

”世界对很多事件非常的敏感，特别是西方的“自由世界”。很多人感受到被冒犯因为你所说的不符合他们的观点。对与错不是所在乎地。在乎的是你没有与他们站在同一阵线上，结果他们就咬住你不放。因为在这样的淫威之下，很多人就远离那些说实话的人。西方的政治家很多都轻忽略真理，这样他们的选票不会受到影响。

为着使事件发酵，他们就在社交媒体所上载的，一味的追逐“点赞和观看”。一个年轻人上载了许多仇恨的言论，他所关住的只是在社交媒体上的“点赞和观看”，虽然他在一次访问中也说这些观点是错误的。

基督徒拥有上帝的真理。问题是我们当中有多少人主动的告诉别人有关上帝的真理。还是我们害怕会遭受到那些不喜欢听到有关他们未来可怕的结局和唯一解决办法的人的攻击。害怕告诉别人有关耶稣基督的真理是很糟糕的。我们不被真理所说服是可怕的。如果我们自己不先被耶稣基督所征服，我们还有什么可分享。如果这是事实，我们在教堂里敬拜赞美到底是为了什么？我们是在愚弄自己吗？

在主里的弟兄姐妹，可以这么说，我们已经生活在末日中。信耶稣将是越困难的事，让我们与其他人分享。为了我们的救恩和永生的生命，让我们坚定的站在耶稣基督的信仰中。我们不要在最后的冲刺中失去焦点。

上帝赐福,
在基督里同工的，
