When I was little, I was a smart and sensible kid and so I always received the loving care of my parents, relatives and friends. Because I always got good grades at school and was kind and easygoing, I was well liked by teachers and classmates. During that time, I was full of hope for the future. Much to my surprise, however, when it came time to test for high school, I missed qualifying for the top girls’ school by half a point and was admitted instead to a second-grade school. I was so unable to accept what had happened that I locked myself in my room for two days and refused to eat or drink. That was the first time I had experienced failure in my life—I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss and I was wracked with torment and pain.

When school started up again, I went to orientation feeling deeply depressed. During orientation, a se ... Read more »

Sister Mu Zhen,

Peace to you in the Lord! I’m so happy you’ve written. You’ve mentioned in your letter that the day of the Lord’s coming is near, and that you are intentionally reading Scripture and praying more, and doing more work for the Lord so that you can be one of the wise virgins who is vigilantly awaiting the Lord’s coming. However, these things have not sharpened your spiritual acuity or increased your faith or love for the Lord. You’re confused about whether you can be counted as a wise virgin by seeking t ...

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 accordance with the Lord’s will, and will He hear us? 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. Actually, the Lord Jesus gave us these answers long ago, so together, let’s seek what the truth says in this regard!

1. Stand in the Place of a Created Being in Prayer

2. Pray to God With Sincerity and Honesty ... Read more »

Christian Reflections - Can All Those People Who Labor and Work For God Enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

I watched the movie “Baptism by Fire”. Due to believing in God and sharing the gospel, the main protagonist was arrested by CCP and has been sentenced to seven years. After being released, he persists in sharing the gospel and expending himself for God. He thinks those who run around, labor and expend themselves for God are people who are obedient to God and do the will of God, such people can e ... Read more »

Pastors and elders often say the Lord will descend on a cloud, and ask us to be watchful and waiting. We have been waiting for the Lord descending upon clouds, but haven’t met Him by far. Nowadays, disasters get greater and greater and the prophecies of the Lord’s return have been pretty much fulfilled. Many people feel that the Lord shall already return, then why haven’t we yet welcome Him? Whether we can meet the Lord's return is related to whether we can obtain salvation. On this issue, I feel confused all along. On the matter of the Lord descending u ... Read more »

“My wife, you’d better keep the bank cards. It’s my fault for having blindly believed the CCP’s rumors and for trying to obstruct your belief in God, and even taking the bank cards away from you. Oh, let’s not talk about it anymore. Belief in God is a good thing. You keep on believing in God, and I won’t bother you anymore. ... Read more »

How to Welcome the Return of the LordIt turns out that the Lord knocks at the door in this way when He comes! Recently, when gathering in the church, we often read Revelation 3:20, saying, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me". Also, I open the door and welcome Him to attend the feast with Him. However, the Revelation prophecy, “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him”(Revelation 1:7) I feel confused: The Lord Jesu ...

There is a tight connection between this beautiful voice and the issue of welcoming the Lord’s return, have you seen this? When seeing the title of this movie, “What a Beautiful Voice”, I feel there must be a story in it. Due to believing in God, the protagonist has suffered a lot and yearned for the coming of God. Through seeking the truth, she finally gets enlightened and realizes that she, just like many other people, thought she could be lifted to the kingdom of heaven when God descends upon a cloud, but neglected the prophecies about the Lord’s descending in secret. At that moment, she understood the true meaning of those verses of scripture she is familiar with, “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him”(Matt ...
