Dear Editor – As I have read the article on the above subject I have learn the words to discipline church followers is (Ex-communicate) as such they will not be taking part in any formal programs of the church. The defaulting members are said to be largely from south sea Evangelical church (SSEC) as well as seventh-Day-Adventist church (SDA) and the other churches not mentioned.
Who are you to ex-communicate the people of God from the church? Even Christ the son of God came to die once and for all. Who are you to judge wrong doing on the short coming of others that you to have your short coming, Who are you not to have a pasture and speech that is uplifting and encouraging.
Who are you not to accord honor and respect to one praise them it they do well and console them if they do badly. (All have sin come short of the glory of God) it righteous alone will go to heaven then no one will enter into the Heavenly Kingdom because no one is righteous.
(Matt 18:21-22) than peter ask him Lord how many times I must I forgive the offenses of my brother and sister? Seven times Jesus answered, no not seven time but seventy-seven time. Our journey to Christ is journey of re-staring be brave and try one more time despite of any downfall on what people may say.
(Romans 8:28 Eph 5:20) we should praise him even for the trial and difficulties that came our way, as Christians we believe that nothing happens which God does not allow to happen. if something bad has happened , then God must have a purpose in allowing it to happened since Gods purpose can only be good, we therefore still praise him not for the bad happening but for the good purpose. So that always, and forever everything we praise the Lord.
There is a view the rioting, looting and burning last week were happened day light however rioting ,looting and burning over the years again and again in judicial mining industry forest land and Agriculture Marine and Fishing Industry national treasury and the list goes on there is no foreign intervention to rescues us from the situation.
The rioting, looting and burning happened last week bring pains to our brothers and sister from china who lost their valuable, properties. The good news is government is committed to change their properties and allowed local contraction being exclusion in building infrastructure a head of SPL games 2023 to be part of the preparation rebuilding homes burned down so that our town can be look different from for before for the 2023 pacific game. The old has gone the new has come.
Now is the time not to point figure to each other take a stop to uncover all the causes and came up with lasting solution and this must involve leaders and the people and the people themselves because violence was a means of Anti-social back fire arising from being left out and powerless.
The Christian’s brother and sisters are not to be blame but the root course is the big fish mamula. Therefore I call upon my beloved Brother: pastor, priests, Reverends and Ministers of the church to re-consider you decision to ex- communicate your members. Console and embraced them they use human they can change. Christ on the cross said Father forgive them for they do not know what are doing. What did the government says to reflect Christ Leadership.
Concerned Christian,
