November 24, 2021 Li Sean Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

QiuLin, Social Worker in Detox, Vancouver In the last edition, the author has written about how people started drinking to spend the day during the COVID19 pandemic stay home order. And there is an increasing tendency of addicts to stay home to take marijuana or heroin, and subsequently more deaths due to fentanyl overdose. Last year (2020), there are 1,716 deaths in BC alone (roughly the same number of death due to COVID19). This is worrisome, especially when it shows a 74% increase compared to 984 deaths in 2019. As of 8/31, International Concern for Drug Abuse Day, there have been more data regarding death related to drug

Please Let the Whole World Know

November 21, 2021 Li Sean Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

Pastor Wong A message sent by a Myanmar friend, ending with a heart-broken sentence: “Please help Myanmar peoples as much as you can and spread the whole world how brutal the military junta is. The World needs to know this, they need help ASAP. People are dying.” Perhaps the whole world is aware of the Myanmar coup, political instability, and democratic regression. The people are living in fear, but they don’t want to go back to the era of military rule. I have observed earlier, the church always had Myanmar as one of their weekly prayer items, asking for God’s mercy on them. However, as the days passed,

Life as a Traveler

November 19, 2021 Li Sean Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

Alice Cheung Life is when a newborn baby comes into this sparkling world, naked and barehanded. Very soon, he would have to leave this familiar and dazzling world and return to the gloom, being naked and barehanded again. A famous ancient Chinese poet, Su Dongpo from Song Dynasty exclaimed that “Life is like an adverse journey and I am also a traveler.” An author of the Bible also wrote that “We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.” Life is just a passerby in this world. Purpose & Itinerary Going on a trip is a

Helen Man Poor Baby In the spring of 1974, a newborn baby girl was found at a meat market in a small town in Taiwan. The baby’s crying attracted many people to gather around her. The crowd found that she was born with no arms, uneven legs, and a deformed body. They took her to the police. Some charities checked her out but did not offer help, while hospitals wanted to make her into a specimen for medical study as she dies soon, thinking that she wouldn’t live long. Pastor Yang, the founder of “Six Turtles Orphanage” adopted her and named her Grace because he believed that “since

Praying for Spiritual Transformation

November 11, 2021 Li Sean Truth Monthly

Dale Winder The National Initiatives Manager for the BGEA of Canada When I began my elementary school years we began the day singing the Canadian national anthem and saying the Lord’s Prayer in unison. By the time I finished high school we were taught that science had proven God does not exist. Therefore, not only did we stop saying the Lord’s Prayer we also no longer sang the national anthem because it acknowledged the existence of God. Today, students are no longer taught that science is true because they are teaching truth is based on what you personally think or feel. As a result, we have fully arrived

Urban Mission – Mission at the Door Step

November 3, 2021 Li Sean Truth Monthly

by Woon Yuen Cheng, PhD, missioner, pro-temp Director of VCCSTM The main article of the current issue of The Logos “Urban Evangelism – The Flow of Love” has taken on an old topic afresh regarding urban evangelism. Urban city, a place where people congregate, and in everyday live where frequent interpersonal influences and communications take place. Without a doubt, it is key to evangelism. Looking back to the early churches, one sees the importance of urban mission – Paul’s three mission trips took place at (1) Athens – Center of intellect of the entire Greek and Roman world, and (2) Corinth – One of the commercial centers of

The Realm of Life

October 30, 2021 Li Sean Truth Monthly

By Alice Cheng The realm of life is considered as the awareness of one’s mind and the cultivation of one’s character. It is closely related to our vision, mood, and cultivation. When the horizon is high, there is no obstacle and there is a clear wave in the heart. The eyes are the window of the soul: What comes into our eyes is what goes into our hearts. Seeing can become our points of view, our visions, and even our realms. God’s vision is much deeper than ours. May God expand our realms of life. Our Functional World of Order From God’s point of view, He called his

The Choice between life and death at the end of Days

October 28, 2021 Li Sean news commentary, Truth Monthly

By: Timothy Tin According to a BBC report, “since 2012, approximately 5 million Afghans fled their homeland and were unable to return, some without homes within the Afghan border, while others fled to neighboring countries to seek shelter” The number of displaced Afghans is ranked as the world’s top third most number of displaced refugees. When the American troops planned to withdraw its forces on August 31, 2021, Afghans were facing the imminent choice between life and death in the great escape of the end times. Those who boarded departing planes from Afghanistan were escorted down the path to peace and stability, but those who could not manage

The US Withdrawal from Afghanistan

October 26, 2021 Li Sean news commentary, Truth Monthly

By: Helen Man In August 2021, the United States completely withdrew from Afghanistan, ending the 20-year-old war. President Biden claimed that the withdrawal from Afghanistan would not look the same as the withdrawal from Vietnam; no one would be dragged off the roof of the US embassy; no Americans nor Americans’ friends would be left behind. The President also cited that the US has trained and equipped nearly 300,000 troops in Afghanistan, which is more than enough to deal with the Taliban; and this is a glorious withdrawal. However, what happened after the US military left was that the Afghan government had no intention to defend the country and

The Wisdom of “Making Free Choices”-Reflection from Japanese Culture

October 21, 2021 Li Sean Truth Monthly, Walk in Japan

By Chion Under the vaccination freedom culture, many countries experienced different waves of protests. When I thought of the story of typhoon forecast, there was a dilemma of making choices. For example, the local government only provided the weather forecast, warnings on the waters/mudding, as well as the regions where people must to withdraw. However, the information or the instruction with this nature is not as straightforward as the ones from the Hongkong government where they give a clear direction about whether the students or workers should go to school or work. Under this circumstance, I called a friend, asking for help. She said “whether you choose to
