My journey...

I was in Australia and I fumbled across my cousin's Hot gossip magazine. The front news reads "Shocking News. (Name of actress) is pregnant". Now how is that shocking. We know that nowaydas, people do sleep around. Expecially the rich and the famous. They boast about it. They "stay together". Today I even saw a T-shirt (in Malaysia) which says "I am a virgin (and this is a very old shirt)." People are almost embaressed that they are still virgins. So why is being pregnant so shocking? It is the fruit of your action. Don't they know that it is how you get pregnant? Play with fire and you get burn.


I believe that it is shocking because it is out of God's order. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of Order. EVerything in His Kingdom has order. Just take a look at nature. Things may seem chaotic but they have a certain order. We get married first before we get children. Its alright to sleep around as long as the kids do not come. Trying to justify your sin? When things are out of order, it is not His kingdom. There are rules to follow and obeyed in His Kingdom. He has put HIs Kingdom in our hearts. He gave us conscience. But at times, we taint our conscience with the things that we see. we overwrite it by new values we place in our lives. We have new values based on the media and our role models. Our parents and the film stars. It's alright for them. And we begin to believe in disorder. The order of the kingdom begins to seem not as important. We are in control of our lives now. Live as we want. Anyway, it is more fun. So it seems. Until another disorder comes as a shock. Then slowly as society accepts the disorder as a norm, disorders may not seem to be shocks anymore. If society believes that marriage is not important and it is alright to be single parents, being a pregnant before marriage is not a shock anymore but a norm.

People by nature likes to be in control of their own lives. By a certain age, we would want to shift out of our parent's home so that we do not live under their rules. We create our own rules. We do not like to abide to rules. But the kingdom of God has rules that we are to follow. Those rules make sure things are in order.

Our journey as a Christian is to bring order back. To show that it is important to have that order. And that it is possible. At least I will try in my life.
