Handling authority is always a tricky thing, whether you're Christian or Muslim or whatnot. But can you define what an "authentic" Christian is? It seems a little vague, and I'm sure many Christians will have differing opinions of what it means. <em>I am hoping <a href="http://www.joshua3.com" rel="nofollow">josh</a> will answer this question.

For me, I take it upon myself to bring some awareness because God has blessed me with the ability to write and express. For e.g. I took up the KMPU posting on their site, translate it into English and somehow or other, that little piece was picked up by Tony Pua and he even made a police report on the insinuations made against Christians. To me, that's a little step to make our voices heard. Ultimately, in the current situation, we can make a difference, if we pray and reflect. The Lord will guide us and shelter us. Like He said, all who have ears, hears. We bloggers are the instruments, aren't we? <a href="http://chanlilian.net/" rel="nofollow">lilian</a><em> i was at yr blog a few moments ago and was thinking to myself exactly the same thing..the unique position you find yourself now..an opportunity to express and be heard.

My emphasis was actually to spend more time praying, interceding and "standing in the gap" instead of complaining. But Josh has excellent points about the difference between submission and obedience, and the need for complains and voicing out, and pairing praying with action to make a difference.
