The Saffron Army



If you have been following the situation in BURMA, you will note that a revolution has begun. Under some of the worlds toughest regime machines justice has been twisted for years. One of Burma's leaders, Sue Chin Ye, has been the recipient of a Nobel peace prize yet has never been allowed to leave the country to receive it. Burma, or Myanmar as the fascists call it, has abundant natural resources yet your average "JOE" lives in miserable poverty. The thing that looks different about this revolution is that it is being led by " Buddha's Saffron Army," yep the monks and nuns of the nation. I believe that the Jesus Church should take notice. Seriously, when the Buddhist Monks rise up and take to the streets for justice we should really ask ourselves what we have done lately. The protests are all non-violent and peaceable, however the people of the nation could not help but rise up and follow when they saw those with great moral authority leading the way. Imagine a mobilized Church leading the way; with our very lives there would be no option but to follow! We constantly sing and say that we want a revolution, an uprising, but how long O'LORD till our prayers meet our muscle ? Am I sugesting that the Church actually take to the streets and march ? Yes, Yes, Yes I am. There are 160 Million Christians in America, just vision that all of them or even half of them took Friday off of work and showed up at their local state capital demanding action in regards to a justice issue. Then imagine if they showed up on Monday too, and Tuesday ...
