Christian Life: The Correct Way to Teach One’s Child and Be a Caring Mother


By Lexin, Hong Kong

Introduction:

“Mom, you used to be so strict with my studies that I never had any time to play. You’ve changed so much for the better now and you speak so gently. I love you, mom,” said the innocent, lively young girl cheerfully as she lay flat by her young mother’s ear, and the young mother’s face flushed with happiness.

Do You Know the 4 Key Elements of Christian Prayer


By Yang Yang, China

Brothers and sisters, we all know that praying to God is the most direct way for Christians to communicate with God. This is why, aside from morning and evening prayers, we pray at many other times such as when reading the Bible, when in gatherings, observing the Sabbath, or when we encounter difficulties. But are our prayers in line with the Lord’s will and will He lend us an ear? This is something that is important for every brother and sister to understand; otherwise, no matter how many times we pray or for how long, these prayers will not gain God’s approval. In fact, the Lord Jesus gave us these answers long ago. Let’s seek together on this aspect of the truth!

Almighty God Reigns as King

Smiley face

A Hymn of God's Words
Almighty God Reigns as King
I
How beautiful!
His feet are on the Mount of Olives.
Listen, we watchmen
are singing loud together,
for God has returned to Zion.
We've seen
the desolation of Jerusalem.
Now we sing of joy for God's comforts
and His salvation of Jerusalem.

God’s Love Spreads All Over the World

Smiley face

Hymn
God's Love Spreads All Over the World
I
Almighty God, a righteous, holy God,
Your pure love is
like drifting snowflakes,
white and beautiful, with a faint scent.
Softly enchanting,
it floats down on me
and dissolves into my love.
Your familiar voice reaches out
and calls to me.

People Better Know God Through the Work of Words

 Gospel Song | "People Better Know God Through the Work of Words" | The Power of the Word of God

I

God of the last days mainly uses the word to perfect man, not signs and wonders to oppress or convince him, since these can’t explain God’s power. If God showed only signs and wonders, it would be impossible to make plain the reality of God, and thus impossible to perfect man. God doesn’t perfect man by signs and wonders, but waters and shepherds man using words, to achieve man’s obedience, knowledge of God. This is the aim of His work and His words. God doesn’t use signs and wonders to perfect man. He uses words and many types of work instead, such as refinement, dealing, pruning or provision of words. God speaks from different perspectives to make man perfect, and to give man a greater knowledge of the work, wisdom and wonder of God.

I Found a Life More Meaningful Than Making Money


By Fang Hao, China

Lately a saying on the internet has been popular, “Without money, how will you support your family ties, solidify your love, and connect with your friends? With your words? Forget it! People are too busy for that!” In a society turned entirely to money, everything is dominated by such pragmatic considerations, everything material and immaterial are tokens that can be exchanged for money, and the number of bills in your pocket decide your value and status. If you have much money, others will scramble to serve and flatter you, but having no money makes others look down on you and make friends and relatives avoid you. As the saying goes “In time of prosperity, friends will be plenty; in time of adversity, not one amongst twenty.”

Breaking Free From Shackles and Returning to the Presence of God


By Yongyuan, USA

In November of 1982, our whole family emigrated to the USA. Because our family had been faithful to the Lord since the generation of my grandfather, we quickly found a Chinese church in Chinatown, New York where we could attend mass after we arrived in the United States. We never missed a single mass since we started attending, and my mother and elder sister were especially good about reading the scriptures whenever they had time to seek the Lord’s blessing. At that time, the priest would often say: “When the Lord comes, He will judge people publicly and divide people into categories: Those who truly repent and confess, and who are of good faith in Him, will be able to go to heaven; those who commit sins but not grave ones will suffer the torment of purgatory but are still able to be saved and ascend to heaven; those who do not believe in the Lord or commit sins that are too grave will suffer the punishment of hell.” These words left an impression on my heart as if they had been branded there. They caused me to believe in the Lord with enthusiasm, and even if I was busy with work, I never stopped going to mass.
