27 Jun 08 - Ecumenism Without Compromise

People! I'm so so happy!! God is really indeed raising a NEW generation for Himself!

I have this colleague who happens to be my CHC fellow-churchmate, if I'm still in CHC. When I knew we are from same church, I was so happy! I tried to pray with him and discuss spiritual doctrine with him.. I learnt he is not open to Catholicism, typical 'Protestant'.. Though I'm not experienced Catholic, I tried my best to explain catholicism to him. Trust me, it IS hard, especially when it involves doctrines.. such sensitive topic.. But I must also thank him for being challenging, cos it made me to do some research and reading up. (That's why I'm so 'intimidating' to some people, my godbrother :p ) .. of course, I stayed firm in my simple belief that we are all different members in same Body..I mean, that is what we always declare in our creed, right? We believe in Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic church...("catholic" = including or concerning all humankind; universal) There's only ONE God, right?!?!? But whenever I'm stuck in conversation like these, prayer is always the best 'peace-maker'.

Today, when i came into office, this guy suddenly gave me this link. He actually took the effort to do his research and now he just wanted to share with me!! And this link is from a CATHOLIC preacher! ahaha.. What a contridiction, I must say!

I'm so so blessed by his sharing!! He is now receptive to my 'argument' of different members in same Body, though of course, it'll take some more time for him to digest. But hey, at least he is open! I cant wait to share his findings with you!! :)

Raise up, o ye new generation for God, mighty army of God!

Ecumenism Without Compromise — Denominationalism is not just a Christian scandal, but absolutely intolerable
