As A Body Of Christ

Dear Fellow Pastors, 


We read with sadness the charges brought against Pastor Kong Hee and four senior leaders of City Harvest Church.  
 
Two years ago, when news first broke regarding CAD's investigations, I had posted a special prayer call for City Harvest Church. Today, in light of the latest developments, I am writing to you again to share with you a few things on my heart:
 
1. We must stand ever more united in love and stronger in prayer for Pastor Kong Hee and the church. This is a time of testing for the Body of Christ. Truth is, we are all on trial before a righteous God. We must ask ourselves: Do we truly love the Body? Let there be a powerful prayerbuzz—on earth as it is in heaven! Let's tell our members to talk more with God and less with others, especially on social media.
 
2. We appreciate the assurance from the authorities that they have nothing against City Harvest Church. The case is against specific individuals who allegedly have violated the law in a breach of trust. Remember: innocent until proven guilty!
 
3. We must not prejudge or make baseless assumptions. The case is before the courts. We submit to the due process of the law, trusting God that His justice will prevail. If asked for comments by the media, please be objective, entrusting the matter first and foremost, to our Sovereign Lord.
 
4. We must never use the occasion to cast stones or air differences of any sort, be it theology or ministry philosophy, or between charismatics and non-charismatics. 
 
5. We must seek every opportunity to speak well of City Harvest Church. Its impact on the youth of Singapore is phenomenal. Its community service is outstanding. Its social arm meets a wide range of needs. For example, intellectually-disabled children, troubled youth, dysfunctional families, elderly poor, hearing impaired, terminally ill, ex-offenders, and so on. Let us pray and believe that City Harvest Church will continue to positively influence our nation for Jesus.

“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” 1 John 4:11-12
 
Humbly:

Lawrence Khong
Chairman, LoveSingapore

  1. yes, we should love GOD's place, i.e. the church, GOD's people, and GOD's body. For the rest, every human is subject to mistake, and should Pastor Khong is convicted, then it's more for the mistake but not forgetting his contribution in building GOD's house. Let's pray that the truth will prevail soon..
