Brothers and Sisters, some while back you may recall Pastor Zeke mentioning (quite casually, in passing, with his usual modesty) that during one of his missions to the ornamental lands he had spent a few days in Godless Malaysia. His all-too-brief account of the perfectly gruesome time he spent there among the jungle mooselims has remained with me, and my boys often ask for me to recount it as a bedtime story.
At the time, it seemed that his efforts had been all for naught, other than the saving of a couple of young houseboys who returned with him to serve Our Lord in Freehold. But it is now clear that this was not the case.
SHOUT GLORY!
Today there are reports that (although it has taken them a while) the Malaysian Parliament has at last taken Pastor Zeke's words on board, and is
coming around to God's Holy Will:
Quote:
Rape victims can ward off a “bleak future” by marrying their rapists, an MP and former judge has suggested in the Malaysia parliament.
Former sharia judge Datuk Shabudin Yahaya made the comments at the Houses of Parliament during a debate over a bill on sexual offences against children.
While he acknowledged rape as a criminal offence, Yahaya suggested that rapists and their victims could solve social problems and “turn a new leaf” by getting married.
“Perhaps through marriage they can lead a healthier, better life. And the person who was raped does not necessarily have a bleak future. She will have a husband, at least, and this could serve as a remedy to growing social problems,” he was quoted in the local daily, the Star.

As we all know, Deuteronomy 22:28-29 has been discussed at length on these forums. I very much look forward to welcoming our many new Malaysian friends.
