THE DIVINE STRENGTH OF JULIA HUDSON

Julia Hudson and Greg King (her husband)

After Julia Hudson (sister of Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson) found out that her only son, Julian was dead, she wrote these words on My Space,

"His li'l soul is at ease, I take comfort in knowing that Julian is with my mother and my brother and most of all the Lord, and now he's my angel, he's protecting me," she wrote.
"Now because I chose to do what was natural to me and love someone, it cost me my beautiful family, my wonderful beautiful loving supporting mother, Darnell, my true blue baby brother, Jason, I love u big baby ... and last but never not least, my only son, Julian,"

Julia Hudson's extraordinary strength can only be found in God alone! Julia, we suppose to comfort you but yet you inspire so many lives inspite of this horrendous triple tragedy.

PS: God bless Julia Hudson and her rest of the remaining family in this time of mourning.

"THERE'S PROBABLY NO GOD"

The Atheists of British Humanist Association (HBA), supported by famous atheist Professor Richard Dawkins will put those words above on the buses in London soon. Thirty buses will carry that message for 4 weeks. The complete slogan is "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life".

They argued that religion provides people unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children. Dawkins said, "This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think - and thinking is anathema (accursed) to religion.

The atheists today are almost like a religion today. They have great faith in saying that there is no God. However these bunch are not so sure because they used the word, "probably", much like the many theories of scientists. And Dawkins was dead wrong in saying that thinking is accursed to religion. There are so many Christians who are great thinkers. So many great Christian organisations built in history that contributed so much to society that it would take a library to contain all the books.

I wonder how people can enjoy life without knowing they are loved by the Creator God who only has good intention for them. He even sent Jesus to die on the cross for humanity when they chose to ignore Him. To Dawkins and gang, Christianity is not do's and don't's but a life lived to its fullest meaning and fulfillment. At the end, I would like to stand before my Creator and hear Him say, "That's what you were on earth for!"

Rev Jenny Ellis summed up well when she said about this bus thingy, "This campaign will be a good thing if it gets people to engage with the deepest questions of life." She added: "Christianity is for people who aren't afraid to think about life and meaning."

HOW TO CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE

Dr. Ling Liong Sik, the former MCA President, former Transport Minister, has come up with a ridiculous idea of how to cheat on one's wife. He is supposed to be an esteemed leader of the largest chinese party of this country. According to the Sun newspaper report, he said men need to burn extra energy and therefore, can go for other women apart from their wives. Here is the secret...teng teng teng....don't let your wife find out, can already loh!

Absurd to the core! The immoral joke of the year! If I am Ling's wife, I better check on his handphone and maybe lipsticks on his shirt.

Welcome to the world of confusion and darkness. A world where right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right. The standard of morality is getting lower and being compromised to go lower.

Christians must take the challenge to keep the standard of the Bible and of Jesus's words. We must not let the world change us but we change the world.

(Rom 12:2) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

PS: Cheat your wife to your own doom!

GOD IS SUED!

A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served. The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling. He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction and terrorisation" caused by God.

Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a case to proceed. "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice," Judge Polk wrote in his ruling. Mr Chambers cannot refile the suit but may appeal. 'God knows everything'

Mr Chambers sued God last year. He said God had threatened him and the people of Nebraska and had inflicted "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants". He said he would carefully consider Judge Polk's ruling before deciding whether to appeal. The court, Mr Chambers said, had acknowledged the existence of God and "a consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God's omniscience". "Since God knows everything," he reasoned, "God has notice of this lawsuit."

Mr Chambers, a state senator for 38 years, said he filed the suit to make the point that "anyone can sue anyone else, even God". (From CNN)

God has downgraded Himself to be judged by a human judge. Poor God! He is now the defendant and must be seated at the box in a court room. To Mr. Chambers, God may need a good lawyer to defend Him, the One who created the whole universe. Poor God!

Let us all blame God for all the calamities in the world. He must apologise to all humans for so much suffering. If Chambers won the case, how much would God have to pay him, I wonder?

(Luke 23:33-39) When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals--one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One." The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself." There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

All have sinned and fall short of God's glory....and we sue God! Duh!

PS : But they will have to give account to him (Jesus) who is ready to judge the living and the dead (1 Pet 4:5).

TOM CRUISE IS ALIVE, PRAISE GOD!

I have fallen victim to a rumour and a hoax report concerning Tom Cruise's death. Two friends sent the news citing two different Internet sources. I think they were rightly denounced as "Internet Garbage" by Tom Cruise's spokesperson.

I should have waited for the truth before I wrote my article. My article was intended to be read by just a small number of young people friends. I am terribly sorry if I did cause any hurt to anyone.

MELTDOWN

There is a meltdown in all financial centers in the world right now. The stocks are falling and falling and no one knows how this is going to end, even the experts. One expert from Santa Clara University, finance professor Meir Statman said of the stock market sell-off. - There are some things happening in the world that are pretty scary. We have every right to be scared.

And governments all over the world do not know what else to do but to wait!

With the advances in technology and so much knowledge in the world today, no one knows what to do! That's why God tells us time and time again not to put our trust in man, rather to put our trust in God!

In the very middle of the Bible in Psalm 118:8 (Chinese say, yat yat fatt fatt), this is what it says,

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

And in 2 Sam 22:3, David sang,

My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior..

Therefore, if you trust God, you are in safe hand!

THE TALLEST TOWER IN THE WORLD!

Burj Dubai, under construction.

Burj, Dubai. The artist impression.

Dubai, a city in the Middle East is currently building the world tallest structure. It is been kept secret of its final height and rignt now, it is 707 metres and still going higher. Some predicted it would be 818 metres and 162 stories high. When completed, it will also have a whopping 200 metres of dancing water fountain right at the foot of the place. The tower is called Burj Dubai.

Imagine, almost 1km up the sky! I believe when we get to the top, you can touch clouds. Perhaps, spiderman may even have problem scaling that high. Man and technology advances are now able to build the "Tower of Babel" literally. Burj Dubai will stand supreme as far as man-made buildings are concerned.

But what about the condition of humans today? Is God proud of human beings for building tall towers? Can we stand tall and say, "we have lived well"? The earth has never experienced lasting peace as far as our history is concerned. Still today, untold sufferings through endless wars and man-made calamities plague the world.

Let not Christians stand in awe of tall buildings, rather let us stand tall in awe of what God can do through us.

Ps. When it's finished, it's almost double the height of the Petronas Twin Towers!
