Most people in our church cannot tell the difference between being discerning with people and judging people. I’d like to ask, with regard to dissecting and discerning the God-defying essence of the pastors and elders, and calling them the Pharisees of the present age, is this not judging people?

Bible Verses for Reference:

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing. Truly I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mat 24:45-51).

Blessings Due to Sickness—Essay on God’s Love

Dujuan, Japan

I was born into a poor family in a rural village. Since I was a child, I lived a tough life and was looked down upon by others. I sometimes did not even know if I would have my next meal, let alone snacks and toys. Since my family was poor, when I was little, I would wear what my older sister used to wear. Her clothes were usually too big for me. As a result, when I went to school, the other kids would laugh at me and they would not play with me.

The Call of Love

Xiao Yin

I was born into a rural family. As my family was poor and I couldn’t eat my fill or dress warmly when I was young, other children my age often laughed at me. When I saw those children in rich family never wanted for food or clothing, got unending allowances, and were surrounded by others wherever they went, I was very envious of them. Therefore, I made up my mind that I must work hard to make a lot of money when I grew up, so they would never look down upon me again.

Why Will the Unbelievers Cry Out to God for Help?

Here is a story:

One day in South America, a preacher suddenly heard someone crying for help when he walked through the woods. Then, he ran quickly toward where the sound came from. He ran to the riverside and saw a man sitting in a boat. The current was very swift, and not far away was a waterfall. If no one rescued him, that man would definitely be washed down the waterfall. The preacher heard that man still shouting desperately, “God! Save me! Save me!”

The Chinese Communist Party Sees Christ as a Regular Person. Where Is Their Mistake?

Zheng Weiguo (Minister of a municipal United Front Work Department): You witness that both Jesus and Almighty God are Christ, the first and the last Christ. Our CCP does not recognize it. In The Internationale, it clearly said, “There has never been any savior of the world.” You insist on witnessing the advent of Christ the Savior. How can the CCP not condemn you? In our opinion, the Jesus whom Christians believe in was an ordinary man. He was even nailed on the cross. Even Judaism did not recognize Him as Christ. Isn’t this the fact? The incarnate Almighty God in the last days that you witness is also an ordinary person in fact. The CCP’s documents describe it clearly that He has a surname and first name. This is also a fact. Why do you witness that such an ordinary person is Christ, the appearance of God? Humph! It is really incredible!

What Are the Meaningful Things for Man to Pursue In Life?

In this money-centered society where material desires overflow, people all think that having money means having everything. In order to live a better life, they all try their best to earn money. And I was no exception. To make more money, I worked hard every day and lived a nine to five life automatically, which made me feel exhausted physically and mentally. Even if I fell ill sometimes, I didn’t see a doctor until I could hardly bear it. When I met difficulties or was unfairly treated at work, I would endure that all the time. It seemed that all my grievances would be gone, as long as I made more and more money.
