Let God Take Control “I am approaching 30. My father, a non-believer, has been forcing me to get married. However, I am determined to marry a Christian. Feeling anxious while waiting, I sometimes argue with my family. All I can do is to pray and ask God to give me strength. I am willing to wait even until 40 or 50, as long as it is something that God has prepared for me. A year or so ago, a friend […]

Facing Challenges “I’m a 90’s who made a bold decision this year to suspend my work and focus on preparing for the CPA exam. Before making the decision, I prayed fervently, unsure if it was in line with God’s will, as I had no confidence in myself. I sought God’s guidance, asking Him to lead me to please Him. The employment environment nowadays is not desirable, my colleagues therefore couldn’t understand why I still decided to pursue further studies, particularly […]

Expressing Freely “When I attend gatherings, I often find myself unable to speak up, feeling quite stifled throughout the gatherings. Many can express themselves freely, but I really cannot. I do not dare. I faced various restrictions at home and rarely spoke as I grew up. A few years ago, I attended a Bible study group, I just sit at the door among about a dozen brothers and sisters. I couldn’t voice my thoughts, feeling overwhelmed and suffocated. After six […]

God Found Me “I grew up and later served in the church. At that time, I just wanted everything to go my own way and that finally caused a lot of conflicts with others and frustration to myself. I, then, walked away from God and left the church. My marriage failed and family changed. After ten years, God found me again. I realized what “none of His sheep will be lost” really meant. I remember very clearly that the first […]

Living Out the Mission “I am a university student. During the summer vacation, I participated in a short-term mission trip, marking my first visit to a country where I did not speak the language. A week before the mission, we fasted and prayed, asking God for guidance and fruitful results. The local missionaries challenged us to consider think about how we could share the Gospel even without verbal communication. I shared my experiences with the children, taught them English, and […]

Loving Discipline “I used to be a principal and work very hard. I thought I was doing a good job, but I did not glorify God. I was sued and dismissed from my position due to drinking, drunkenness, and reckless behavior during social activities. I know that I have sinned. I have not read the Bible nor attended services for several years. I was proud and had neglected my relationship with God. I even made excuses, convincing myself that the […]

Hope To Be Released “I am a fourth-year college student. I have been addicted to TV dramas since my childhood. I often watch them late at night. Despite my desire to stop wasting my precious time on binge-watching, I just can’t seem to break the habit. When I feel stressed, I unconsciously turn on the playback software which will make my situation worse. With my internship approaching, I really should not be bound by TV dramas anymore. But I continually […]

Parent Education “My son is currently in middle school, and he’s experiencing a rebellious phase. As a single parent, I didn’t know how to discipline him before. I was too indulgent, and he became addicted to phone games and wouldn’t attend school. I cut off the internet at home, but he would go to the park and connect to other people’s networks. I was heartbroken and couldn’t control him anymore, worrying about conflicts. I’ve tried talking with him, but he […]

Unexpected Blessing “After I had been baptized, I suddenly got the gift of composing music and I wrote the first hymn of my life. After that, the Holy Spirit has also touched and led me to the completion of new hymns one by one. Actually, I am not a music student, and I have never studied composing at all. I have just learned playing the piano for a few years when I was young, and I have learned some basic […]
