Jesus Christ Has Risen!

Helen Man  2022-04 Terrifying Deception In recent years, China has been cracking down on counterfeit and substandard medicines to a great extent. During the worst of the pandemic, the government seized frenzied manufacturers of fake vaccines, and among such incidents was the “Jilin XX Vicious Vaccine Case”. The fusions between fake and real vaccines are harmful, and one can’t help but think of the sensational 2008 milk scandal that poisoned and caused kidney stones in 300,000 babies, with the conclusion in many deaths. Other unethical food practices have been exposed in the media as well, which include cooking oil extracted from the waste, poisoned rice, and foods that contain

Heart @ Ease

Clay Jar April 2022 His haggard face and humble demeanor reminded me of the description of Christ in the Book of Isaiah. “He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of the dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.” Isaiah 53:2-3 The Senior Pastor of a Scarborough church has given a very brief introduction

【Heart of a doctor】The value, The Human Being

Doctor Luke 2022-04 I fondly remember the Hippocratic Oath I took when I graduated from medical school more than thirty years ago. This is a moral declaration that every medical school graduate must swear before practicing medicine, which includes not doing anything harming the patient, not prescribing lethal drugs, or giving relevant advice to patients. I am convinced that this is an affirming declaration of human worth. You and I are creations, formed from the dirt and will return to the dust. From this point of view, people are worthless. But we were given this value when the God who created the heavens and the earth created us

[Letter from Jun] Obedience to God Bringing Her Life Satisfaction

Eric   2022-04 Peace with you, Jun Thanks are to God! I mentioned in the letter to you last time, I was attracted by the goodness expressed in the lives of the brothers and sisters in the church, which was the reason for me to stay. I wanted to know and understand what caused them to act the way they did. After spending time with the folks at the church, I was also invited to have meals and testimonial sharing. There was an old lady in her 70s or 80s. She was about 1.85 meters in height.  She sang and played music at every gathering. As soon as she

Russia and Ukraine

Timothy Tin 2022-04 While the world is slowly recovering from the threat of the Omicron variant, on February 24, 2022, Russia suddenly invaded Ukraine! A military attack initiated by President Putin, the largest military operation in Europe since WWII, is intended to “demilitarize” and “denazify” Ukraine. To demilitarize is to prevent NATO’s eastward expansion, and to denazify is to seek revenge on Germany’s invasion of Russia 77 years ago, while Russia now claims that Ukraine still has Nazi sympathizers. Most western nations agree that Putin is overreaching with this military operation, but he insisted on preparing troops for this invasion, despite Ukrainians’ unfazed resistance. He even threatened with

Unceasing Journey of Mission

Small wood   2022-03 When I received this topic as the mainframe of my sharing, I instantly felt a resonance but also an extreme feeling. On one hand, this topic is very positive especially in this ages of time. It is because ‘the increase of the wickedness, the love of most will grow cold…..’Matt. 24:12. This is also a big challenge to our today-society and even the Church. Therefore, if my sharing may encourage brothers and sisters, that is a good thing. As Hebrew 10:25 states “…..but let us encourage one another-and all the  more as you see the Day approaching”.   Nevertheless, on the other hand, I deeply understand

HEART@EASE

Clay Jar   2022-02 Life-threatening bullets were flying around her while the heart pounding sounds of bombing deafened  her as she raced and dodged relentlessly to the small deserted church… to pray. Praying used to be a blissful time when fellow Christ followers on this primitive island offered their pure hearts to their Holy GOD. But the brutality of foreign invaders in the 1940’s had made this usual practice impossible. The war had lasted for more than eight years. The majority of China was in shambles, not even the small islands could escape the horrors of war. Amazingly this woman was singing praises with bubbling JOY, some 40 years

【Light of Grace Album】-A Lone Bird

Photographer:Eric Lau     Location: Niagara Falls,ON The worst form of loneliness is being disoriented, having no companion on the same path, and being alone for a long time. Pause for a moment quietly: get to know yourself, think about and seek the truth, and open the Bible to read! The Spirit of Truth will tell you where you came from and where you are going. Believe in and accept the gospel, and soon you will know a group of believers and fellow travelers, who will go through difficulties with you and enjoy the peace that the Lord will bestow. Get out of loneliness! “The Lord confides in those who fear him;

Immigrants from China: Knowing them more, loving them more in practice, sharing gospel to them

Perspective of Living and Working – by Xiao Bing 2022-03, 228 Dear readers, we are glad to start introducing a more systematic aspect of the mainland Chinese immigrants of Canada, this is a relatively broad approach due to limitation of coverage. Our main focus will be on the practical interactions with them in the prospect of building better connection and caring. Paul said, “… I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.” (I Corinthian 9:22) It has not been easy for brothers and sisters with background of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia to become mainland Chinese, and even though some
