No 1764 of Living Life Series 1
When the young are dependent on parents, they depend on parents as their backbone in life.
When the parents are old, they often cannot provide the backbone for parents.
Their excuse is that they have to serve God before they serve parents.
This is very telling and they are actually making use of the name of God in vain.
Serving God takes priority over serving parents.
They even think that there is no other God beside God. They do not think it fit to godify parents.
Parents are no gods, let alone respect for ancestors. Isn't this moral decay in its ugly form.
Bo Tien 武天 says we must learn from the ways of such men. The ways of such men are never the ways of God and heavenly saints.
That said, we must take remedial correction and make good what is not good that many wrongly consider as good.
Respect for elders if absent or lacking make a mockery of respect for God and heavenly saint.
Men must wake up and be counted as befitting God.
Do not cast aside parents and elders in the name of God and heavenly saints.
Do not hold parents as discards to be considered only when all things else are taken care off.
One unthinkable scenario is when the biological family at home (house) is sacrificed for the need of the family at the house of God. Often there is no time left for the biological family, not even quality time.
With so many weddings and christenings at house of God, the biological family at home (house) is often forgotten. This is a mistake but cherished and hailed as good and proper.
Think carefully. Has man become less man in the name of God. Has the house of God make non-existent the house of man. Is this what God wants in men?
Have men use the name of God in vain? Is this not unbecoming and unworthy of God? God knows even if men chooses not to know.
Has man become less man in the name of God? Has man end up glorifying self in the name of glorifying God? Isn't that distasteful, and deceitful? No house of God is spared from this.
Even followers of traditional temples like any temple in the name of Bo Tien 武天 can succumb to this in its own way.
That is the truth. Many may be silent over this but the truth is loud even in silence. Death is capitalised. Every big day of a heavenly saint is opportunity for financial gain.
What is loss is gain. How ironical can this be? But how else can a temple or house of God survive? This is a world of reality of no money no talk.
A man must be pure and good at heart and what goes on in the world is no issue. He can be better at being man and be one with God and saints. He will not be less man than man in the name of God.
