The latest talking point is all about the repealing of section 377A. Churches are spending their time talking and talking and talking. They talk as if the end of the world is at hand because of the repeal of this section. All kinds of seminars and forums have been initiated and promoted. The amount of attention given to it is great. News and articles come into my inbox fast and furious.

Well, to me, it is a waste of my time. I delete them as they come in. I do not promote them. I knew this is coming since the longest time. The bible already tells us about what is going to happen in the last days. This is inevitable. The question to ask is not what we are to do about it. We are to ask ourselves what should have been done right from the early days. All our talks today will not stop it from happening. The last days, end times, will come whether you like it or not. The good news is that the Lord is also coming soon.

We should be spending our time bringing the good news to everybody. We must save as many as we can when it is still day. There is nothing we can do when night comes. The time and energy spent to talk about 377A would be better spent on telling others about God, His love and His salvation. Why get into a discussion that will not yield any viable outcome? Spend the time bringing people into the kingdom. Believe me, the people will appreciate you more.

Another thing of equal importance is to spend time and effort to teach our people the word well. Strengthen their faith and they will live a life worthy of the gospel. Then you need not worry about the any section of the law being repealed. When Christians only know God superficially, they live a superficial spiritual life. It will be easy for wrong morality to creep in. When the US banned the bible and public prayers in schools in 1962, their schools started to become hotbeds for violence and moralistic decadence.

Brothers and sisters, major on the major and not the minor. Preach the Word, live the life of God.

God bless,

最近的热门课题都围绕着废除刑事法典377A节条文。教会也在花时间一而再、再而三的谈论。他们似乎认为废除了这条文，世界末日就要临到。许多研讨会及座谈会都主办和宣传过了。它所得到的关注是极大的。送进我邮箱的消息及文章是非常快速及猛烈的。

但是对我而言，这是在浪费我的时间。讯息一进来，我就将它们删除了。我不去推动它们。很久以前我就已经知道这一天会到来。圣经已经告诉我们末世的时候会发生什么事，这是无可避免的。我们该问的问题不是我们要对此作什么。我们要问自己的是从一开始就应该作对什么。我们今天所有的言论不会阻止事情的发生。无论你喜欢与否，最后的日子、末日仍会临到。好消息就是主也快要再来。

我们应该善用时间把好消息带给每一个人。我们必须要趁着白日尽力救更多的人，黑夜来临我们什么都不能作了。用时间及精力来谈论377A还不如用来和他人谈论上帝、祂的爱和祂的救恩。为什么要为不会产生果效的理论进行商讨？要善用时间带领人进入天国。相信我，大家会因此更感激你。

另外一件同等重要的事就是善用时间和心思，用上帝的话语好好教导别人，坚固他们的信心，让他们活出与福音相称的生命。那么你就不必操心有哪一条法典的条文被废除了。当基督徒对上帝的认识是肤浅的，他们活出的就会是肤浅的属灵生命。错误的道德观就能轻而易举的潜入。当美国在1962年禁止在学校使用圣经和公开祷告，他们的学校就开始成为暴力和道德败坏的温床。

弟兄姐妹，要着重在重要的事而非渺小的事。要传扬福音，活出上帝喜悦的生命。

上帝赐福，
主里同工的,
