Gathering in a Cowshed

Christian Variety Show | "Gathering in a Cowshed" Skit | It's So Hard to Believe in God in China

Suffering Is God’s Blessing

Currently, the atheist CCP government's persecution of Christians is increasing by the day. Believers are facing restrictions on practicing their faith at every turn; they can't even find a place to gather in peace. Left with no other choice, Liu Xiumin can only host a gathering with her brothers and sisters in her cowshed. But while they are gathering, village cadres come one after another to look around, making various excuses, and then even bring the CCP police in…. Will Liu Xiumin and her brothers and sisters be able to successfully hold their gathering? Will they be discovered? Will they be arrested? This short sketch Gathering in a Cowshed reveals for you how Christians in China manage to persist in their faith under the persecution of the CCP government.

Under such circumstances, what they could do is to pray to God and depending on God. Through their experiences, they truly feel: God is my strength and suffering is God's blessings.

How Should Christians Love God?

By Wenjing

Many Christians are of the opinion that as long as we sacrifice our whole lives to work and expend for the Lord, we’re the ones who love God and satisfy God, and should be praised by Him. Is this view after God’s heart? These days, through seeking and fellowshiping with some brothers and sisters, I have a new knowledge of how to love and satisfy God. Here I’d like to share it with you.

First, we should give our heart to God entirely and let God take charge within us so as to be one mind with Him.

Almighty God's Word

Preface

Though many people believe in God, few understand what faith in God means, and what they must do to be after God’s heart. This is because, though people are familiar with the word “God” and phrases such as “the work of God,” they do not know God, much less do they know His work. No wonder, then, that all those who do not know God are possessed of a muddled belief. People do not take belief in God seriously because believing in God is too unfamiliar, too strange for them. In this way, they fall short of the demands of God. In other words, if people do not know God, do not know His work, then they are not fit for God’s use, much less can they fulfill the desire of God.

How to Educate the Son Who Likes Playing Games?

By Yixin, Canada

My son’s problems emerged one after another.

When my son was 9, I found he had become addicted to playing video games and watching TV. Every day when he got home from school, he would throw his schoolbag aside, go to the living room, and begin to play games on the tablet. As soon as he started playing, he could not stop it. And if I had not called him to dinner, he would even have forgotten to eat. When I told him to do his homework, he would say that he already had his homework finished at school.

Only the Creator Takes Pity on This Mankind

Christian Worship Song| Gospel  | God's Love | "Only the Creator Takes Pity on This Mankind" Only the Creator shares with mankind an unbroken bond of mercy and love. Only He cherishes all of His creation, all of His creation. His every thought, always for the good of mankind. His every emotion is intertwined with their existence. The expression of what He is and has is all for mankind. It’s all for the sake of mankind. Deep within His heart, all of man’s actions He feels. Man’s transgressions awaken His just wrath and sorrow. But man’s repentance makes Him forgive, man’s repentance makes Him delight. He’s rushing around always, He’s everywhere at all times. His every emotion, He dedicates—every second of His life, and He’s offering every bit of His life without a word. It’s all for the sake of mankind. He knows not how to pity His own life, but cherishes mankind. With His hands He’s fashioned this miracle of mankind. Compassion and tolerance He bestows, without condition or thought of reward, that mankind may live on under His gaze, that one day, they may submit and grant that He is the One who nourishes man, and grant that He is the One. Ah ... He supplies the life of creation, life of all creation, life of all creation. His every thought, always, for the good of mankind. His every emotion is intertwined with their existence. The expression of what He is and has is all for mankind. It’s all for the sake of mankind. It’s all for the sake of mankind. from The Word Appears in the Flesh Recommended: Praise and Worship Song "God's Love Brings Us Close Together" (Male Solo)

Christian Song "The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind" God's Revelation of Corrupt Mankind in the Last Days

Christian Musician "The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind" God'a salvation God's Revelation of Corrupt Mankind in the Last Days I Walking through the ages with God, who's known that God rules all things, the fate of all living beings, orchestrating, guiding everything? This has eluded human minds not because God's ways are vague or His plan hasn't been realized. For man's heart and spirit are far from God. Even as they follow God, though they may not see, they are still in service to Satan. No one seeks out God's footsteps or His appearance. None desire His care and watch of them. But they're willing to depend on the evil one to adapt to this world and its creeds. And man's heart and spirit fall into Satan's hands, and become the food on which it feeds. They become the food on which it feeds. II See the human spirit and heart now a place where Satan dwells, where it plays as it wants. Human understanding fades away, no more seeing their purpose and worth, what it means to be human, no longer seeking God, hearts ignore God's covenant and laws. As time passes who can tell, who can understand why God created the human race? No one comprehends the words from the mouth of God, or can realize all that's from Him. They begin to resist all God's decrees and laws; deadened hearts and spirits soon follow. Thus God loses man He made, and man's root is lost. This is humankind's tragic sorrow. Here lies humankind's tragic sorrow. from "God Is the Source of Man's Life" in The Word Appears in the Flesh 

God redeemed mankind in the Age of Grace, so why does He still need to do His work of judgment in the last days?

Bible Verses for Reference:

“You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy” (Lev 11:45).

“Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12:14).

“And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (Jhn 12:47-48).

Praise God for His Love and Mercy | The Call of God | Musical Show "Gospel Choir 9th Performance"

Praise God for His Love and Mercy | The Call of God | Musical Show "Gospel Choir 9th Performance" Songs of Choir: 1.The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind 2.Man’s True Condition of Being Corrupted by Satan 3.The Practical God Saves Men in Obscurity 1.The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind Man walked through the ages with God, yet man knows not that God rules the fate of all things and living beings or how God orchestrates and directs all things. This is something that has eluded man since time immemorial to the present day. As for the reason why, it is not because the ways of God are too elusive, or because the plan of God has yet to be realized, but because the heart and spirit of man are too distant from God. Therefore, even as man follows God, he unknowingly remains in the service of Satan. ... None actively seek out the footsteps or appearance of God, and none wish to exist in the care and keeping of God. Rather, they are willing to rely on the corrosion of Satan and the evil one in order to adapt to this world and to the rules of life the wicked mankind follows. At this point, the heart and spirit of man are sacrificed to Satan and become its sustenance, and moreover, become a place in which Satan can reside and a playground for it. In this way, man unknowingly loses his understanding of the principles of being human, and of the worth and purpose of human existence. The laws from God and the covenant between God and man gradually fade away in man’s heart until man no longer seeks or pays heed to God, no longer seeks or pays heed to God. As time passes, man no longer understands why God created man, nor does he understand the words that come from the mouth of God or realize all that is from God. Man begins to resist the laws and decrees from God; the heart and spirit of man become deadened. …God loses the man of His original creation, and man loses the root of his beginning. This is the sorrow of this mankind, this is the sorrow of this mankind. Woo … woo … woo … woo…. ... from “God is the Source of Man’s Life” in The Word Appears in the Flesh 2. Man’s True Condition of Being Corrupted by Satan For so many years, the thought man lives by has corrupted man’s heart, man’s heart. So man becomes crafty, cowardly, and base. Man has no perseverance or resolution, and is greedy and frail and willful. He does not have the will to transcend himself at all, much less have any courage to break away from the bondage of the influence of darkness. Man has a depraved mind and leads a depraved life. Man’s viewpoint of believing in God is still awful, and it is even intolerable to the ear, intolerable to the ear once it is spoken of. All men are cowardly, powerless, base, and fragile. They do not feel loathing for the force of darkness, and do not love the light and the truth, but they do their possible to drive them out. All men are cowardly, powerless, base, and fragile. They do not feel loathing for the force of darkness, and do not love the light and the truth, but they do their possible to drive them out. from “Why Are You Not Willing to Be a Setoff?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh 3. The Practical God Saves Men in Obscurity God has become flesh this time to do the work that He has yet to complete, to judge this age and bring it to a close, to save man from the sea of affliction, to utterly conquer man and transform their life disposition, and to free man from the suffering and oppression of dark forces that are black as night. Many are the sleepless nights that God has endured for the sake of the work of mankind. He comes from up high to the lowest depths and lives in the living hell. Ah! He passes His days with man, and has never complained of the shabbiness among man. He never asks too much of man, but endures the greatest humiliation as He personally carries out His work. …

God's Utterance "God Himself, the Unique (III) God's Authority (II)" (Excerpt, Stage Version)

Almighty God says, "God’s authority is everywhere, at every hour, at every instant. If heaven and earth were to pass away, His authority would never pass away, for He is God Himself, He possesses the unique authority, and His authority is not restricted or limited by people, events, or things, by space or by geography. At all times God wields His authority, shows His might, continues His management work as always; at all times He rules all things, provides for all things, orchestrates all things, just as He always did. No one can change this. It is fact; it has been the unchanging truth since time immemorial!"

This Is How I Welcomed the Lord

When I was six years old my mother believed in the Lord Jesus, and she would often bring me to church gatherings. I slowly became aware of the fact that man was created by God, that if we are in trouble we should pray to God and rely on God, and that we should thank God for everything. My mother told me: “God loves people, so long as we pray to God and entrust Him with what’s on our mind and truly rely on Him, then He will solve our problems and bestow us with bountiful grace. As long as we truly believe in the Lord then He will come in the future to receive us into the kingdom of heaven!” Listening to mother’s words, my heart felt at peace and free from anxiety, I felt like I had something to rely on, and I firmly believed that one day the Lord Jesus would return to bring us into the kingdom of heaven. I looked forward to and dreamed of the arrival of this day.
