The World Is Beset by Catastrophe: Do You Wish to Know the Truth About the Rapture and the Second Coming of the Lord?

By Jianmo, U.S.

Today, catastrophes around the world are becoming ever-more severe. The news is filled with stories of plagues, earthquakes, floods, and droughts. Have you ever thought to yourself: The prophecies of the Lord’s return have been fulfilled, so why have we still not welcomed the Lord? If this carries on, when the great tribulation arrives, will we, too, not be plunged into disaster? Just when will the Lord take us up into the heavenly kingdom?

The Word of God Guides Me Through the Snares

By Tian’na, Hong Kong

Paging through the article of God’s words, “Did You Know? God Has Done a Great Thing Among Men,” I cannot help but recall my experience two years ago of breaking free from the binds of rumors and returning before God.

My family and I all live in Hong Kong. My father-in-law and brother-in-law (my husband’s younger brother) both believe in the Lord Jesus. My brother-in-law is a pastor in a church, so brothers and sisters from the church would often come to our home to visit where they would pray together and sing hymns in praise of the Lord. And then in December 2014, a good friend of mine told me that she also believed in the Lord. Continue reading “The Word of God Guides Me Through the Snares”

2019 Gospel Song | “The Significance of God’s Managing Mankind” | God’s Love and Salvation for Man

God’s management is to gain mankind who worships and obeys Him. Though corrupted by Satan, they call it father no more, no more. God’s management is to gain mankind who worships and obeys Him. Though corrupted by Satan, they call it father no more, no more; they know Satan’s ugliness, and so reject it, so reject it. They come before God, accept chastisement and judgment. They know that which is ugly, and that which is holy, holy. And they know the greatness of God, and evil of Satan.

Never Again Will I Delimit God’s Gender(Part 2)

Would the Lord Return as Male or Female?

At a meeting one day, I spoke out about my confusion, “The Lord Jesus incarnated as a man, so I think the Lord will absolutely return as a man. But you say that the Lord has incarnated as a woman. I cannot entirely accept this. Can you fellowship with me about this?” Brother Lu said, “Brother, you think that since the Lord Jesus incarnated as a man, He will definitely return as a man, but have you ever thought whether or not this view accords with the facts, and whether or not it has a basis in God’s words? Could it be that God can only incarnate as a man? If we don’t seek to understand this issue, it will be very easy for us to delimit and resist God. Let’s first see what the Bible and God’s words say. Continue reading “Never Again Will I Delimit God’s Gender(Part 2)”

Never Again Will I Delimit God’s Gender

By Xinming, United States

In September 2015, I came to the US to study. Before I had even been in the US a month, a sister preached to me the Lord Jesus’ gospel and, being curious about western religions, I went to church and began attending meetings every Sunday. After I started believing in the Lord, I began to study how to become a true Christian, and I gradually withdrew from the life of drinking and reveling with my fellow classmates in bars. Instead, I would read the Bible in my dorm and attend meetings on weekends, and my heart felt filled with peace and joy. Continue reading “Never Again Will I Delimit God’s Gender”

Gospel Song 2018 “All Things Are in God’s Hand”

God had once said such words: What God says counts and shall come to pass, can’t be changed by anyone. No matter if it’s words said before or words yet to be said, they all shall be fulfilled, so that everyone can see everything in the universe is determined by God. What is not in the hands of God? Anything that God says will be done. Who is able to change the will of God? Nothing can hinder God’s plan from moving ahead. God is working at all times. All things are in God’s hand.

In today’s society, there are all different kinds of major enterprises and there seems to be a myriad of employment opportunities, but year after year, college graduates are a dime a dozen.
