If you haven't yet heard, the Philippines won her case against China on disputed Spratly Islands. Read the story here. Now what is a Christian supposed to do?
If you have considered Beijing as our enemies, then we are obliged to pray and love the Chinese people. Also, we must remember that countless Chinese are Christians, and our fellow brothers and sisters in the faith. They are mostly persecuted, and we must love them and support them.
We must pray that any missionary trip or evangelization activities of Philippine churches to minister to the Chinese people prosper, and that this arbitration does not affect our relationship with our Chinese brethren.
We must pray for peace, that China will not choose to declare war, but to submit to international law. We must remain humble. This win may be on historical merits, but we must see that the hand of God is in this, and we must be thankful. We are merely stewards of these islands, and we must ask God how to prosper them.
