You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Church News:
Jul 25 Malaysia is at Spiritual and Political crossroads.
A visiting Malaysian Church Leader, Rev Jerry Dusing, head of the largest home-grown church movement, SIB, urges Australians to pray with their Malaysian counterparts for political stability and for a moderate government to emerge out of the current political turmoil now griping his 27-million nation. He welcomes Australian churches input into SIB and other Malaysian Christian communities in order to strengthen and mature the Church. Rev Dusing and SIB have taken the Prime Minister to court for the injunction against them for importing publication containing references to God as 'Allah', a name that is commonly used by Arabs and Indonesians, both Christians and Muslims alike, in reference to the Supreme God. The core of the legal proceedings is to preserve the constitutional rights of all Malaysian to enjoy religious freedom despite mounting Islamisation happening in Malaysia.

Cambodia General Election July 27, 2008
Currently ruled by Cambodian's Peoples Party under PM Hun Sen since 1985. The opposition parties are led by disunited royalists providing the ruling party an almost certainty to remain in power. Nevertheless, Cambodia is rift with corruption and in dire needs of better public infrastructures particularly in transport and judiciary. The Church in Cambodia enjoys relative freedom and is one of the fastest growing in the world. Similarly, Cambodia economic growth rates in recent years ranked amongst the highest in the world, partly owing to the low points Cambodia experienced after the disastrous Pol Pot regime and the civil wars that followed. Nevertheless, Cambodians have been supportive of Hun Sen's rule and have voted him into power in previous elections. However, price increases in food and transportation will be greivance points that will be raised during the lead up to the election.

Jul 18 Pope Benedict XVI's
inaugural pontiff's all-emcompassing message at the World Youth Day in Sydney both encouraged and challenged all within and without the Church. "World Youth Day in Sydney has seen an unprecedented public proclamation of the Gospel of Christ through the Australian media. Far from just a call to private faith behind the four walls of a church, this event has like no other, challenged, questioned and confronted secular society with the social claims of the Christian Gospel " -- ACL (Australian Christian Lobby)

June 30 Laos relaxed restriction on Christians
in Attapeu province of southern Laos following years of persecution, the local government now recognizes Christianity as a legitimate religion. Only five years ago local authorities ordered believers to renounce their faith or be exiled from their villages. Christians were prohibited from using common wells, rice mills and other public facilities. At the beginning of 2002, 73 people professed faith in Christ. But by the end of the year, after heavy persecution, only 30 believers remained steadfast. Persecution continued in subsequent years as Christians were denied basic resources and forced to walk two hours to buy food. Local officials attached posters to the front doors of Christians to identify them. Persecutors poisoned the believers' animals and threw rocks at their homes. In 2004 several missionaries were arrested and imprisoned for one year. Now, however, for the first time, Christians are able to legally worship in churches. Today 336 believers gather for worship in the province with a sharp increase expected because of the new freedoms.

Quotes of the week:

I ask myself, could anyone standing face to face with people who actually do suffer violence and sexual exploitation explain that these tragedies, portrayed in virtual form, are considered merely entertainment? Do not be fooled by those who see you as just another consumer in a market of undifferentiated possibilities, where choice itself becomes the god, novelty usurps beauty and subjective experience displaces truth. Christ offers more. Indeed, he offers everything.
Pope Benedict XVI, World Youth Day Jul 17, 2008

In God We Trust fancy a name like that? A man in Chicago had successfully cleared Court's jurisdiction on Steve Kreuscher's name change petition. The school bus driver and amateur artist says the new name symbolizes the help God gave him during tough times and says he can't wait to begin signing his artwork with his first name, In God, and his surname as 'We Trust'. The 57-year-old testifies that the new name symbolises the help God gave him during tough times.


BROTHERS OF A HEAVENLY GLORY
Dr John Yates
When Jesus said, No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, he provides the framework whereby Christians ought to relate also one to another. The sacrificial exercise of individual giftings and callings guided by a complete devotion to Christ and his church and expressed through the unifying prayers of the saints will moved heaven to respond. This process is referred to in Hebrew 2:10 as the bringing many sons to glory - brotherhood of a heavenly glory.
