A Marvelous Deliverance From Drowning – God’s Grace

A Marvelous Deliverance From Drowning – God’s Grace

Auntie Zhong

I am a Christian. One afternoon in August 2012, I went to a pond with a tub of clothes to wash at the age of 71. The pond was surrounded by farmland, with nobody living nearby. For the convenience of washing clothes, the villagers set a cement board above the pond. That day before I had gone a few steps on the board, suddenly I slipped and fell headlong into the pond. With my head downward, I sank deep, deep down. When opening my eyes and seeing the turbid water, I was full of fear. I thought to myself: The water is very deep here and I can’t swim. Besides, I was not seen when falling into the pond. Turns out I’m gonna die! Just as I was in a panic, God’s word drifted into my mind: “You shouldn’t be afraid of this and that. No matter how many difficulties and dangers you face, you shall remain steady before Me; … Be not afraid; with My support, who could ever block the road?”. Right! I’ve believed in God, and He is my rock. Now is the time I rely on Him! So, I prayed with all my might: “O God, please help me! I’ve fallen into the pond; I don’t know what to do. …”

My Love For My Son Has A Direction

One day, I heard a news that a sophomore at a high school jumped down from his house on the fifth floor because his mother brought so much pressure to bear on him to study hard that he felt life had no meaning. He landed on the feet and had an escape, but he had several fractures. After his operation, his mother first rushed forward to visit him. Unexpectedly, “Go away!” were his first words, which amazed his mother. What caused him to treat his mother as an enemy? … Sitting in the corridor of the hospital, the mother looked drawn, with her tears flowing freely down her cheeks. She muttered, “Why is this? Who can tell me? Who can tell me? I really love my child!” Hearing that, my heart ached as if being pricked. As a mother, I deeply knew a mother loves her children better than her own life. But why was she repaid with bitter fruit?

A Discussion of How to Watch and Wait for Jesus’ Return to Conform With His Will?

A Discussion of How to Watch and Wait for Jesus’ Return to Conform With His Will?

Li Yang

It was a summer afternoon, the blazing sun was beating down. Li Jiayin and several co-workers were sitting in the shadow of an old locust tree. Watching the old tree, she recollected her childhood, in which she used to sit under the tree with her uncle, hearing him tell Bible stories and the testimonies of experiences of the spiritual seniors. A few years ago, her uncle once reminded her to be watchful. Now, disasters are getting worse and worse, and the four blood moons have appeared. From various signs it can be said with some certainty: The day of the Lord has come; the Lord will come to reap and rapture Christians at any minute. But how ever to be watchful and wait for the Lord’s return? How to wait to conform to the Lord’s will? What does it mean to be watchful? Jiayin sensed that she was not clear about these questions, and then commenced a discussion with her co-workers.

About the Trinity We Should Know – Bible Devotions

About the Trinity We Should Know – Bible Devotions

Chen Yan

Although many brothers and sisters in the Lord verbally acknowledge that there is only one God, who is unique, yet whom they pray to is the Trinity, that is, the God of three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In the imagination of man, the Father is the great and powerful Jehovah God in heaven who “wears the golden crown on His head, His clothing is pure white”; the Son is Jesus Christ who could be crucified and serve as a sin offering for man; the Holy Spirit can move man’s heart, grasp all matters, enlighten and guide man. That is a Trinity who has distinct persons of different functions, and that the combination of Gods of three persons is a complete God Himself.
