:Mood Todae (on Left)Growing up, i encountered many things as a Pastor's son...such as, the hypocrisy of certain Christian types...the superficiality of Christian frens and the total misunderstandin of Christian leaders n mentors who were supposed to b Understandin...
In my adolescent years...i came across the Christian intellectuals n True Believers...like CS Lewis, Tolstoy, Doestoyevsky, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ni Toh Shen, Watchman Nee...n some of the radicalisin, dark forces that introduced the Left to mi...i realised wat it was dat many Christians had lacked...a social conscience n a heart..n dark forces impacted my life in JC n the army as well...n it was those same dark forces that God allowed to throw off the yoke of superficial materialism, consumerism n self-servin self-worship...
One of the catch phrases of dis Conservative, Evangelical/Pentecostal Christianity dat was paradoxicalli tempered by Socialist sentiments (n which made such a huge impact on mi) was...Ubi Lenin, Ibi Jerusalem...Where there is Lenin, there lies Jerusalem also....originalli the slogan of Liberation Theology which i dun believe in becos its unscriptural...i interpret it as God, salvation and the social dimension of Christianity dat cares for the sick n seeks to preach the Good News bout Christ 2 the world And performs miracles for the weak are inseparable...
today, the Full Christian Gospel with the Social Dimension n Conscience are a potent safeguard n weapon against the Prosperity Gospel tot by many..Against the love of Money n Power must be arrayed the Care for the Suffering and Lost n the Preachin of the Good Sheperd who is Our Healer...socialism against capitalism is so much more sublime these days...
