DANIEL CHEW: CHRISTIAN FRIENDSHIP


At Daniel’s Place – (Reformata et semper reformanda) my dear brother Daniel Chew, “a Christian holding on to the Reformation principles,” writes:

I just want to share with all my readers how joyful I am today. Even as I work to expose the errors in the various ‘Christian’ movements and also perhaps to edify the Body of Christ by my articles on various doctrines, I can see that my efforts on behalf of the Lord has not been in vain. OK, I know that as a Christian, we are not supposed to seek anyone’s approval, and I endeavor to do all of this for the audience of One, our Lord Jesus Christ. Though I am reviled by Man and even so in the supposedly Christian commuity, I will continue pressing on towards the goal God has called me in Christ Jesus. Even then, I am still human. It isn’t easy to go against the ‘Christian’ establishment, you know.

Yesterday, it was good to be encouraged (in turn) by Rev. Ken Silva of Apprising Ministries, after he quoted one of my comments in one of his missives, which had encouraged him. Although we are physically seperated by the Pacific Ocean, of different ethnicities and nationalities (and also on our views of infant baptism = P), what unites us is the family bond in our Lord Jesus Christ, in which there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, but all are one in Christ Jesus (Gal. 3:28). I am encouraged by his kind words in an email he sent to me, as I had initially misinterpreted his words and thus he had emailed me to correct my misinterpretation.
