What Kind of Plot Was Behind the Chinese Communist Party’s Trial for the May 28 Zhaoyuan Case?

What Kind of Plot Was Behind the Chinese Communist Party’s Trial for the May 28 Zhaoyuan Case?
April 4, 2018

    Zheng Weiguo (Minister of a municipal United Front Work Department): The CCP suppresses and convicts The Church of Almighty God like this, but you think those are all trumped-up and framed-up charges. Let me ask you then, how do you explain the May 28 Zhaoyuan case of Shandong that has shocked the country and the world? This case was heard in open court after all! After the occurrence of the Zhaoyuan case of Shandong, the government has stepped up its crackdown on house churches, even using the armed police forces to crack down on The Church of Almighty God by conducting overwhelming carpet search-and-arrest of The Church of Almighty God members. Although people have raised numerous doubts about the Zhaoyuan case of Shandong, believing it was a false case fabricated by the CCP to generate public opinions to support its crackdown on The Church of Almighty God, the Chinese media have publicly reported the case regardless of whether the facts are true or false. This has generated some impacts in various countries in the world. No matter how you deny the Zhaoyuan case of Shandong, many people still believe the Communist Party. So I want to hear what you think of the Zhaoyuan case of Shandong.

Introduction
Today I come before God again, I see His lovely face.
Today I come before God again, I’ve left my wandering past behind.
Today I come before God again, enjoying His word fills me with joy.
Today I come before God again, my heart has so much to say.
It’s His tender words that water and nourish me to grow up.
It’s His stern words that encourage me to stand up again.
Oh God! We can praise You for You have raised us!

Eastern Lightning | How to Change Distress Into Joy in Life?

How to Change Distress Into Joy in Life?

By Jingxin, the United States

    On June 23, 2015, I came to America. Before going abroad, I had dreamed that the environment and various aspects of life in America should be very good, and in the future, I would live a comfortable life. Nonetheless, when I arrived, I felt very disappointed about my living environment. In an apartment lived eight households, and we shared a kitchen and a bathroom. What’s more, what I couldn’t bear the most was that almost nobody did the cleaning here and that the apartment was a mess. Seeing all this, in a flash I had a feeling of falling from the sky to the ground. In China, I lived alone in a 60-square-meter home. Although it was not large, it was comfortable and capacious for me to live alone in that house. The more I thought, the more I was unwilling to stay here. However, I couldn’t come back to China, because I had to stay here to look after my husband. Therefore, I had to continue to live here regardless of how bad the environment was. Having no choice, I had to do the cleaning, such as cleaning the stool and bathtub, mopping the floor, cleaning the kitchen and throwing away the garbage…. From then on, I did the cleaning all the time. If I didn’t do it, no one would do it. If I did it, I would feel choked in my heart. I was really upset.

The River Is Also Orchestrated Within God’s Hands

 By Xizhen
     I’m Xizhen and seventy-five years old this year. In August 2016 I was fortunate to accept God’s salvation of the last days. After believing in God, as long as I was at leisure, I would gather medicinal herbs to earn money instead of paying attention to reading God’s word. It had been almost one year since I believed in God, but I still didn’t know the meaning of believing in God. God still had mercy on me, though. In an accident, when my life was at stake, God marvelously protected me from the danger. As a result, I truly felt God’s great power and, from the bottom of my heart, I was ascertained that the God I believed in was the One worthy of being pursued.

Eastern Lightning | A Christian Girl Finally Found Her Mr. Right

    April 6, 2018
    By Xiaoxiao
 Boys and girls, teaching buildings and dormitories, they are easily connected with schoolyard crushes. As time goes by, these crushes are set as fond memories, sealed in a diary called MEMORY. Years later, when a girl opens her diary, memories are replaying like movie scenes one after another …


On a bright sunny afternoon, students were buzzing in the classroom. The girl’s deskmate asked another classmate, “Have you ever thought of what your future boyfriend will be like?” Hearing this, the girl supported her head on one hand, falling into deep thought: What will my boyfriend be like? A teen, in the prime of youth, always has great longings for the future. The girl was tall among other teenage girls, neither fat nor thin, and with a sharp chin on her oval face, she was not that outstanding but still eye-catching. She had her standard for her future boyfriend, and she expected him to be tall and thin and good-looking—even if he was not that outstanding, he should not be too ugly.

Christian Debate: Why Bible Isn’t Inspired by God?

Christian Debate: Why Bible Isn’t Inspired by God?

Pondering in silent night:

Brothers and sisters, is everybody here? Here’s a question I really can’t figure it out. Today I want to seek your understanding of it.

In 2 Timothy 3:16, Brother Paul said, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.” I, as well as many brothers and sisters, think that all words in the Bible are given by inspiration of God and they are all God’s words, and we never doubt it. However, recently when I read the Bible, I found some contradictions in it unexpectedly. The Bible says: “Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem” (2 Chronicles 36:9). But it also says: “Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months” (2 Kings 24:8). From the two verses we can see 2 Chronicles says it was at eight that Jehoiachin began to reign while 2 Kings says it was at eighteen. What’s more, 2 Chronicles says he reigned three months and ten days while 2 Kings says he reigned three months. If all the words in the Bible are God’s words and given by inspiration of God, then one thing should be recorded the same, and there should be no contradictions. Why are there different versions of the same thing? I am confused whether or not the Bible is given by inspiration of God now.
