First of all, I am new to Christian Chat, so please forgive me if I violate any rules here. Also, my English is not very good...
Recently, our city, Hong Kong, has been under the spotlight because of the notorious extradition bill. Despite the fact that over a million citizens walked on the street and protested about the bill, the chief executive still insisted that this bill must pass. On 12th, when some protesters surrounded the Central Government Offices, the police even used various types of weapons to attack citizens. Many of them were only teenagers and a few of them were injured severely.
Therefore, some Christians have gathered on the bridge that connected to the Offices and expressed their concern to the police officers by singing just a phrase, "Sing Hallelujah to the Lord", and they have been singing it repeatedly for hours (or even for days)! What's more touching is that before this series of protests, Christians were sometimes blamed of not doing anything but just going to church and singing hymns. However, their singing has proved that we can overcome violence and unfairness with the love of God. What surprises me is that this has also been supported by many non-Christians and some even suggest everyone, regardless of their religions, "sing Hallelujah to the Lord" this Sunday, when another protest would be held!
