US Supreme court declares same-sex marriage legal in All States

Freedom to Love!

The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution guarantees a nationwide rights to same-sex marriage.

This is a long sought victory for gay rights activists, sad end to traditional family values.

President Obama: "This ruling will strengthen all our communities"

The verses are Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. First, Thou shalt not lie with a man, as with a woman: it is abomination. Second,  If a man lie with a man, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

"For whoever keeps the whole Law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." James 2:10

CrossOver Project

The greatest impact resulted from the CrossOver Project is not Jay Chou, but a man named Terry Hung.

Teddy Hung: Crossing From Darkness Into Light

Former triad leader of the notorious 14K in Hong Kong, Teddy Hung shares his story of love, chastening and redemption.

His is a story of God’s love and redemption. It tells us that time is never an issue for God when He disciples someone; and it is never too late for anyone to come back to Him.

At the age of 15, Teddy Hung joined a triad. During the 1970s and through the ’80s, he became the most feared triad leader in Hong Kong with businesses that involved drug-dealing, gambling dens and discos. He had four wives and a host of girlfriends, each one a top model or actress in Hong Kong.

As he grew older, he began to see how his gambling dens were causing families to break up and his drug businesses had forced youngsters to start stealing and engaging in other illegal businesses. He started to despise himself and soon slipped into depression. His nights were restless and he started having suicidal thoughts.

“It was very strange that I would have suicidal thoughts because I’ve always hated people who kill themselves. I felt that they were wimps,” said Hung, in one video testimony.

Doctors could not cure his depression or insomnia and he was perpetually in a bad mood. A group of pastors tried to reach out to him but he rejected their invitation outright, declaring that he “hated people who talk about Jesus.” He would curse and swear at others who tried to preach the Gospel to him, boasting that “I am prepared to go to hell.”

Knowing that he would not attend a church service, those same pastors invited him to a Crossover concert by Sun Ho, which was held in Hong Kong in 2002. This was one in a series of concerts throughout Asia by Sun in which she performed pop songs from her hit albums; she would then share her testimony in the middle of the concert, and at the end of the show, her husband, Kong Hee, the senior pastor of City Harvest Church in Singapore, would give an altar call. This simple routine saw tens of thousands receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

At the end of the Hong Kong show, Hung found himself at the front of the stage, saying the sinner’s prayer led by Kong.

That very night, Hung said a prayer to God saying “If You are real, heal me of my insomnia and I’ll believe in You.” That was the first night in many that he had a full night’s sleep. That experience taught him that God was indeed real.

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Mark 2:17

“Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. 4 As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. 5 Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. 6 But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out
the tender plants. 8 Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! 9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” Matthew 13:3-9

Freedom to Love

Pink Dot SG, the annual rally to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, had its annual light-up on Saturday night (Jun 13).

It was a sea of pink as supporters turn out in full force at the event's seventh year at Hong Lim Park, and organisers said they had the largest turnout ever with some 28,000 people.

In a news conference earlier in the day, organisers said the growing numbers point to a more accepting Singapore. Plans to expand the event are also in the works, but only if they are able to find a larger venue.

Organisers say this year also marked a record number of sponsors but declined to reveal the event's total sponsorship. They say that with local entertainment giant Cathay Organistation coming on board, they are hopeful more local companies will declare their support next year.

Pink Dot has also travelled beyond Singapore's shores. Last week, Taipei held its first ever Pink Dot. Others holding their versions of Pink Dot annually are Hong Kong, and Okinawa in Japan.

Khong is happy to wear White

So happy and proud to see my FCBC family wear white today at both Suntec and Marine Parade as a reflection of our stand to uphold the purity and sanctity of marriage and family. Rise up, speak up, and live out the will of God, church!

Lawrence Khong’s views on homosexuality in his sermon

“I want to pray that we will continue to wear white as long as there is pink, and we will wear white until the pink is gone, and even if the pink is gone we will continue to wear white,” Khong said.

Khong added: “My prayer, my dream is that the day will come where in this weekend half or three-quarters of Singapore’s population will be wearing white as a statement of commitment to the family.”

In his sermon, he decried the “homosexual act” as “the greatest blasphemy against the name of God” and said that “a union between a man and woman is the highest expression of the very image of God”.

“I’m concerned about the moral majority, people who are Christians especially, who believe that it’s wrong, but who (are) just too cowardly to stand up and make a statement,” he added.

Khong also said that he was not speaking against people, but against an “ideology” — which was, according to him, a deception.

“This is not a small matter — it is a global challenge,” Khong added, citing US President Obama’s declaration that June would be LGBT Pride Month as an example.

To reaffirm the parishioners commitment to the family unit, his sermon was culminated with the recitation of the Family Pledge by senior pastor Nina Khong.

The Family Pledge was first introduced by the National Family Council last year, and aimed to encourage good family practices.

Declaring the National Family Pledge:
We, the people of Singapore, pledge to build strong and happy families. We affirm the commitment of marriage between husband and wife, and take 

responsibility to nurture our children and respect our elders. We celebrate and honour the roles of each family member, and uphold the family as the foundation of our lives and the building block of our society.

A group of Muslims first kick-started the Wear White movement last year to protest against Pink Dot.

Spearheaded by religious teacher Ustaz Noor Deros, Wear White made headlines when several churches joined, including FCBC, which is part of the LoveSingapore network of churches.

The movement led to responses from several religious organisations as well as ministers who called on Singaporeans to “accommodate differences” and exercise balance and restraint.

White or Pink? Stick to Red for Team Singapore

Team Singapore did very well to cross the 70 Gold medal mark.

Support Team Singapore!

Red is Best!

He likes Pink...
