Seasoned with Salt
“In view of the interaction with my son, I reflected that whether I had acknowledged his emotions. I think that I have given attention to his feelings. My husband told our pastor that he was scared of our son. Our son is also scared of his father. I am always their messenger. Before I was the messenger between my husband and my parents-in-law. The situation has improved in recent years that my son would take the initiative to communicate with his father. I have also encouraged my husband to talk to our son more. My son and I have a little secret that my husband does not know. I have requested my son to pay tithes from his pocket money and I have also paid tithes without telling my husband. I feel so sorry for my husband and hope that Jesus will change his life and make him pay tithes willingly.”
(Sister Li)
- May God give sister Li wisdom to face the challenges at home and bridge the communication gap between her husband and son. May God save sister Li’s husband and make their family be built on Jesus Christ.
Illegal Sale of Corpses
Shanxi Aorui Bio-Materials Co. Ltd. is accused of illegally purchasing human remains and body parts from Sichuan, Guangxi, Shandong and other places for processing into bone grafts by forging documents to prove legality and using the bone grafts to produce allogeneic bone implant materials for repairs of bone defects in limbs and spine. According to a survey, more than 500,000 bone implant cases have been done in China every year. Apart from orthopedics, bone grafts are also used in aesthetic surgery for nose and chin contouring.
(“21st Century Business Herald”, August 9, 2024)
- Pray that these illegal methods of obtaining and processing human remains can be stopped. May the Lord expose the darkness and bring the justice. Pray that all victims and their families can be comforted and respected, and the innocent can be protected from being hurt.
Live My Life for God
“I found life meaningless and withered over the past ten and so years. I went to a church after lots of searching, and thought that I had found God by myself. Now I think it is God who guided me to find the church. I participated in the new believers’ class of the church. Growing in spiritual maturity, I started to serve in the church and attended seminary. It is all God’s grace. Now I serve in the church by mentoring new believers and sharing my testimony. I love preaching the gospel too. I talk about the gospel with everyone I meet, even pagans. I can share freely and fluently. My pastor said that it is because I have lived my life for God. May God use me to be His witness.”
(Sister Xiong)
- Thank God the sister Xiong’s life keeps growing. May God use her testimony to affect more people and preach the gospel to the unreached to appeal to a wider audience.
Fake Doctors on the Net
Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission has recently launched rectification of five types of highlighted problems in respect of live webcasting, including pseudoscience and pseudo-Knowledge that mislead the public. Some internet celebrities pose as the professional in the financial, educational, medical and health or legal field to conduct marketing fraud by using the excuse of providing professional services. Some healthcare professionals may carry out health science popularization and transmit health knowledge. Even though some internet celebrity doctors are manipulated by a professional team. Some new media operators who provide medical knowledge from a non-professional point of view simply want to increase the internet traffic and give people a buzz. They even design certain scenarios and make up stories, with a view to boosting their influence and popularity on social media to sell products and make a profit.
(“China Youth Daily”, August 13, 2024)
-
Popularity of the media has turned traffic into a way of making money. May God help people use the social media rationally and make the optimal use of the Impact of the Media as well as useful medical information.
Gospel Broadcasting
- Power Unlimited: Looking back our history, our colleagues wrote a hymn, “Power Unlimited”, for Liangyou’s 75th anniversary. Our founder once went to the Philippines to apply for a broadcasting license. The Philippine government granted the official approval of “Power Unlimited” to our transmitting station. This is not just because the broadcast power of our radio station is unlimited, but also because God is the God of Power Unlimited, who is full of unlimited powers.
- Members-Only Platform: In order to manage the use of platform more effectively, Liangyou Theological Seminary has divided the self-study platform according to functions since June. Now, learners can still listen to our programs freely without registration. In addition, a new members-only platform has been established exclusively for registered users. Registered users are allowed to use this specific platform to do the tests and to connect with the seminary. May the Lord protect all these platforms.
