In the New Testament,

St Paul spoke to the Corinthians,

1st Corinthians 13:1-2

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

but have not love,

I have become sounding brass

or a clanging cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy

and understand all mysteries and all knowledge

and though I have all the faith

so I could remove mountains,

but have not love,

I AM NOTHING"

Somehow each time

I read the Bible,

it tells me

to go to church

only when there

are no Christians

in it.

You may speak in tongues

and profess all the faith,

but do I see in you

any love at all?

I really don't think so.

All I see

is someone who prays on Sundays

and preys every other day.

I see churches,

being run like big money

corporates.

I see pastors,

promising the congregation

immense blessings,

if they give

generously to the church.

I see Christians,

praying for blessings,

like Taoists

going to temples

asking for 4-D numbers.

I see Christianity

as the religion

of modern Singapore.

Its all about
