3rd week and miffed

well ppl sry, no shorts or prose tis time rd. Been on a drought. Brain juiced completely drained. But HEy I finally changed the music. Cuz mr Chew Hew Sheng made multiple complains about the music HAHAHA. Sry Dudu i needa gripe haha.
Actually tis entry is a gripe entry. I was quite disturbed today during my SE1101E lecture, by some comments made by ppl sitting behind me. They stated that they were Christians and during the lecture were making snide remarks about other cultures in Southeast Asia. Stating that they are satanic and such.
Ok, I wouldn't disagree that from a Christian point of view that it is true that they are not worshipping the God who gave his only son for us. But seriously, the damage by that statement is something that is of real concern in our lives.
I am a proud to proclaim that I am a christian, that i have been saved. I want all my friends around me to share this joy I have. But if I go around making statements like this, I won't have any left very soon. I know I am not the ideal image that should be portrayed. I know that I do many things that are wrong, but I thank God each day that he refreshes me and by his grace all are forgiven and that I learn to be more like him each day.
I have been quite judgemental in my words and I seek the forgiveness of those around me that i have hurt.
A question I have always asked myself. What does it mean to be A christian? I have been attending church for more than a decade. But that does not amount to anything. In my life, many of my friends said that Christians are hypocrites, that we say one and do another. THat we live according to a code that is just an image. so many are pushed away instead. Why do we as Christians not show love to our brothers and sisters, but instead live our lives as if we are a Priviledged class. Have we forgotten that It is by grace that we are saved and not by works, so that none may boast. If we have anything to boast, it shall be of this grace and of our God. Will not quote but sumwhere in Romans and Corinthians. I am not really an ideal christian. I have fallen and done many things that I am not proud of. In the army, I cursed and swear, even fight. I stopped going to church for a long time then under an excuse that I am too tired. Church became a chore for me, I failed to see the joy in worship. Today, I am building back my christian life, a little a day. I sincerely hope that my friends around me will see a transformation in me that is not of myself but of Christ in me. That they too will experience Christ in their lives and experience the joy that is within.
I know in the Bible it says that we should not be mixed with sinners lest we fall. However, it also says to show love and care to the "Gentiles". Reach out to them. Christ came for us while we are still sinners, to save us all, first the "Jews" and then the "Gentiles". The spiritually "circumcised" is what we should become. That when anyone is in Christ, he is a new being. Faith, hope and love, the greatest of which is Love. I want people to know that Christianity is about love, not discrimination. That it is by Grace. That the more sin, the more grace(I'm not asking u all to go sin more to experience more grace-- that would be hypocritical)
That We are all the same in Christ. That Christians and none-Christians are all the same. That as Christians, we are blessed to have experience grace and that we should humble ourselves to share the love and grace that has been showered upon us.

Sry if i have sounded a bit critical in this blog. I'm not shooting anyone cuz if so I'd be shooting myself, cuz i'll be judging then.HAHA. Oh I dun really quote verses cuz I can't rembr where they are from.( toldya I'm not ur ideal christian)
Well That's all I have to say today.
