Allah and 3 churches in malaysia

There are forces at work behind the scenes, beyond the political masters and rhetoric. Some people think this is an issue to gain political capital. Some people think being a good muslim is to defend to use of the word Allah for their God. Are there other gods? Is corruption and lying and adultery more acceptable than this? Is defending one’s beliefs and religion more important than practicing what the Lord commands?

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.

If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. Paul said, ” Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.”

Lord I pray for mercy and light because there is much ignorance and unbelief. He who practices hate and revenge, fire and jihad, let him see the log in his own eye.  Pray for unity among churches, pastors and christians: a strong bond of love and support and a rising up of prayer , and spiritual eyes to be opened so that leaders and intercessors can see beyond what is obvious, beyond the flesh and blood to the powers and principalities. Let walls fall and hearts open. Tears in eyes and repentance in the hearts – bring a fresh anointing of love and humility among churches and among muslims, a sense of reckoning and a desire to seek true religion  (James 2), to help orphans and widows…
