“In fact, we can say that according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified by sprinkling with blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.” Hebrew 9:22 (New Living Translation)

A Mockery Of Our Democratic Institutions
Posted on 10 February 2009 by Hannah Yeoh

1 Peter 2: 13-15 Respecting People in Authority

Romans 13: 1-7 Respect for Authority
Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the…
Beware The Ides Of March
Posted on 05 February 2009 by Bob Teoh
The fall of the ten-month old Pakatan-led Perak state government came fast and furious in high Shakespearean tradition. In the drama-play, Caesar, betrayed by his friend, dies with the words, “Et tu, Brute? (You too, Brutus?)
