Offsite

I forgot what I learnt from this offsite meeting. But two shocking scenes remained on my mind and I cannot stop myself from recalling my feeling.

This is taken in Bangkok, deep in the downtown of this city. Thailand, a place where people call it a relaxing paradise, have anyone ever imagined that such a scene of poverty can be somewhere behind your luxurious hotel?

I asked myself, why God let them live in this place? Is it because their unbelief? It should not be the answer.

Right on that night, I thought I found the answer. But it is not.

Are life and belief that contradictory which forces people to choose a path that we should not go? For if we have faith, God bless our path to wherever it leads us. But where is the light for these people?

Because they do this, God has given them over to shameful passions. Even the women pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts. In the same way the mean give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they bring upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing. (Rom 1:26-27)
