To discuss on the effect and choice of the action.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt has been long decided, I would say even at the beginning of my criticism on CCCNY, that should I get married here and settle here, I must not stay at this church. Otherwise, it is perfectly fine to stay.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe main reason being, I would bear the burden of moving those under my care and responsibility out of the way of stumbling blocks. Putting ourselves in the storm is good, but not stumbling blocks, never.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf it were just myself, then I could manage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBut on the other hand, this is not a move of despise, but that of drawing a fine line, between whom I must associate with in Christ, in testimony to those around me. That if one should use straws to build a house, must I live in it? Or should I be called an outcast or irresponsible if I do not co-operate? So let them prove themselves. They couldn't drag me while I live among them, so surely I will not leg them drag my family into their foolishness.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNo, not despise, but merely an observation of the truth. Not despise, for I wish to see them change. So that means, I could lay a few conditions, if not just one, to show my point. As I did, CCCGC, when I told Hsu-An that I would stay, if they preach the Gospel (Meaning when I left, it was because they preach not the Gospel, but merely a social club with a religious sign).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo what am I to do with this CCCNY. I know it is getting tougher. But as did the flame harms not the bush, I shall fear nothing against all wicked oppression.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter today's fellowship, my resolve is clear, though maybe hard to present, especially before Rev. Lin, as she is the type that would probably use all cunning lies to turn the whole world against you, if you say a single negative thing about her. As for Lyna, in her confused state, it may be as talking to a wall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBut the resolution is this: That I would stay at CCCNY, if Rev. Lin and Lyna could be of the same mind in the Lord, having fellowship and speak to one another. As Paul beseeched Euodias and Syntyche. And as long as that, would I and my family stay.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAlthough I must also be aware, the many of CCCNY, are unlike those leading CCGCLI, that they would not care if anyone stays or not. They just wanted to be left alone, without any sense of serious responsibility. As long as they mind their own businesses and others others', no desire to be living sacrifices (as they might deem Paul's urge in Romans 12:1 as a fool's errand).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBelow shall be the dialogue of the decision making...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is intended for a dialogue.
