Britain becoming hostile to Christianity

According to a British Roman Catholic cardinal who recently published a new book, Faith in the Nation, "The rise of secularism has led to a liberal society, hostile to Christian morals and values, in which religious belief is viewed as a 'private eccentricity' and the voice of faith groups is marginalised" (Jonathan Wynne-Jones, "Cardinal: Britain is hostile to Christians," The Sunday Telegraph, Dec. 7, 2008).

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, continued, "Britain shows signs of degenerating into a country free of morals, because of its rejection of traditional values". He also stated that "atheism has become more vocal and aggresive". (Source: The Sunday Telegraph [London].)

Does Fear Got You Cornered?

Break Free...

It has been said that F-E-A-R means "false evidence appearing real". Too many times the enemy tries to fill our minds with fear and make us feel trapped....backed into a corner with no way out. He makes what is false look so real. But we need to remember where fear comes from - the devil. Faith comes from God. Whatever good things God tries to give us, the enemy tries to run it with some kind of poison. Another way to look at it is that for every poison he tries to bring into our lives, God has the antidote. Faith is the antidote for the poison of fear. We don't have to stay stuck in a corner surrounded by fear (false evidence appearing real). But we can break free , release our faith and walk in victory. The devil is already a defeated foe. It is time to put him in his place....which is under your feet.

Nadai Pulai ka Pengerugi Belajar Jaku English

Di Malaysia semua utai ulih magang. Nya mih kebuah menua tu tebilang lalu dikumbai Malaysia Boleh. Di menua tu mayuh endur ti manah alai ngelantangka ati. Malaysia mega udu tebilang ketegal udah mujur nganjung siku kera (space monkey) matau dunya luar (space). (But that's another story for another day). Nya-alai mayuh meh temuai ari menua bukai nemuai meda pemanah rampa menua kitai. Lalu mayuh agi sida nya enda nemu jaku kitai ditu. Ketebal agi sida ngena jaku English taja nya ukai jaku asal sida (mother tongue).

Enti enda nemu jaku English kati ku ulih berandau enggau sida. Baka sida malin temuai sigi nemu mayuh bansa jaku. Nya-alai sida tu nadai penanggul ngereja pengawa sida. Tang bisi sekeda sida driba teksi ke enda nemu reti sereta enda nemu bejaku English. Aku meri siti chunto: Siku bansa Ribai nyewa sebuah teksi ari hotel endur iya diau kena iya raun meda pemanah mengeri nya. Nyau udah puas raun iya mai driba teksi nya pulai. Datai di hotel iya nanyaka nyampau tambang.

Ribai: How much?
Driba teksi: Wan Dollah.
Ribai nya pan lalu nyuaka seringgit ngagai driba teksi nya. Nyadi driba teksi nya, laban ti enda meretika jaku English, ngumbai Ribai nya nanyaka nama iya. Nya kebuah iya nyebut Wan Dollah.

Di menua China English is compulsory ari elementary school. Di India English enda dibuai tang terus dipelajarka sama enggau jaku bansa sida (Hindi) maya India merintah diri. Pia mega di Japan, company executives ti ka dianjung overseas postings mesti belajarka jaku English.

Nya-alai nadai pulaika pengerugi belajar jaku English awakka nadai penanggul berandau enggau orang ti enda nemu jaku bansa kitai. Tu ukai reti nya kitai enda bebasaka jaku bansa. Jaku bansa kitai endang patut terus dipelajarka sereta dikena kitai.

Kala udah nyebut jaku bansa. Kati ku nama jaku nya ka bendar? Laban jaku nya kala disebut Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Kebangsaan, Bahasa Baku enggau Bahasa Melayu. Kati tau nya disebut Bahasa Tuan tauka Bahasa Boleh kini?
