Many people party like there is no tomorrow.And they indulged with many delicacies without thanking God for even one morsel of it.Life is short and soon they will have nothing for eternity.Think about it.
U remind me of something.
Nowadays some christians do not pray before meals. Christians should remember to thank God for their food before their meals.
u must understand tat we live in a world where blessings are often overlooked and sufferings are greatly emphasised on...its also one reason why we singaporeans are supposedly overly pampered and dunno how fortunate/blessed we are...

China churches got to walk miles to go to church.
Some christians risk getting caught in house churches.
Some countries, christians get persecuted.
Singapore christians should understand how fortunate we are. Must cherish it.
Amen!!! its also because of them that we should be thankful to God how blessed we are and at the same time pray that God will hear their cries...strange how people can complain and question why they are allowed to suffer but never once they thank God how fortunate/blessed they are to be in Singapore...

we don't only are for ourselves, we also care for others. that is why we question the inequality.
but my point is before u question the inequality, did u question who to thank for blessings? if law of nature is to thank for blessings, then shldnt law of nature be blamed for sufferings? if God is to blame for sufferings, then shldnt God be thanked for blessings? u get my point???

you're right !
Christians should be grateful and thankful that God is dropping food from the skies onto their dinner plates !
and that God is also paying for their KFC and McDonald's home deliveries !

Those Christians you mention will meet Jesus Christ in the heaven when they die unlike many ungrateful Singaporeans here.

Singapore still gt good christians. Not all are ungrateful kind.
but then again, since ppl tend to put great emphasis on sufferings(aka negative stuff), ppl will see the number of bad christians as very large even though that may not be so...

your remarks remind me of an incident. i was at this aunty's house. when her children thank god for the food. she got angry because after all her hard work preparing for the food, her children thank god for the food instead of her. she told the children " next time asked god to cook for you."
Let me guess. You're the one who says cats are evil, and never take water for granted?

which remind me of the story that goes something like this....
the eyes claimed he is the most important part of the human.....then the mouth claimed he is the most important part, then the right hand, the left hand, the fingers, legs, tongue, hair etc....
so which is the most important part?
the mouth? so that one can eat the delicious food? well, then ask your mouth to shit for you next time.....guess who said that......

Although mom cook dinner but everything in the universe is created by God.
every single atom electrons protons neutrons quarks etc
We must thank God before eating.
But actually we also can thank mom for cooking to us.
But we thank God first.
Who do u think u r,ask God to cook for u. God's bigger than the universe.
