Pastor

Yet another awesome, thought-provoking post by Pastor Kong: HERE
Awesome. Very relevant to today's society. But sometimes, life isn't perfect and there are people who take things the wrong way and don't get to hear his opinion - both the religious opposers and the religious backsliders.

A comment I totally agree with : Ctrl-F search "Ray from Taiwan".

Here's my take on it:

What I think should be considered are those who blindly think that because Sun Ho is a Christian singer and married to a pastor, everything she does is right / not wrong, and thus are led to believe that it’s okay to be like how she was in the video. It’s a wrong way of thinking, of course, but there are undoubtedly people who would think like that, and may be vulnerable to being led astray. It’s very possible to address real problems / issues in life and garner a great audience without having to touch on controversy. Of course, we all love controversy because it strikes thinking etc., but there are the weaker and more vulnerable Christians to be taken into consideration too.

We must keep Christians in the “real” world and portraying real problems and reaching out through pop culture are important, yes, but taking it to extremes like that is a little… uncalled for. So many stars have made it to fame without needing a video like that. Then again, as said by Ray, it was the video’s failure to portray the real meaning of the video.
