Setting My Goals and Going All Out On account of poverty, my family were always ridiculed and despised. From my childhood, my parents had been educating me, “You must be competitive. If you have good prospects in the future, no one will ever look down on us.” At that time, my only aim was to make it t

When I was a student, I became a Christian. At that time, my mom often took me to the church after she learned that there was a free remedial course there, which offered me a chance to come into contact with Christianity. I guess that was from God’s sovereignty and arrangements.
Under the influence of the pastors and brothers and sisters in the church, I

In 2009, I came to Australia. At that time, a foreign aunt of the church nearby my home sent me a Bible and a gospel compact disk. She told me that I could pray to the Lord regardless of what difficulty I had and that the Lord would protect us. However, I seldom went to the church because of my busy work and lots of family affairs. At that moment, my son was twelve years old and was right in his rebellious phase. My husband often beat him and things became more and more seriou

God said, “ Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). “God has the substance of faithfulness, and so His word can always be trusted. Furthermore, His actions are faultless and unquestionable. This is why God likes those who are absolutely honest with Him.” God’s words told us that He likes honest people. So, from when I began

I’m a doctor with a clinic in my village. One time, when I chatted with other villagers, several of them said to me, “You guys who open a clinic must be rich. See, the persons in your trade all have buildings and cars as well as fine foods and fine clothes.” Listening to their words, my heart turned sour, thinking: The money I earn can only support my families’ living and the house we live in is still an old one. Both are doctors who have a clinic, yet why can they make a fortune but can’t I? I must come up with a way to live as rich a life as theirs.

trust every devout Christian is confused about the following: We pray to the Lord, and confess sins and repent every day, but why are we never able to escape the bondage of sin? As we all know, the Lord is holy, so are we, who often sin and resist Him, qualified to enter God’s kingdom? How can we shake off the shackles of sin? I always used to be perplexed by this too, but through seeking, I finally found the way to escape sin.

Can the Bible Contain All of God’s Word and Work?
By Wang Ying
In 1982, I accepted the Lord Jesus’ gospel. Through reading the Bible, I knew that the Lord Jesus is the only true God and is the Lord who created the heavens and earth and all things. Later, our preacher often preached to us 2 Timothy 3:16, “‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.’ The entire Bible is inspired by God

Xiaojuan had suffered from a stomach problem for some time. She couldn’t help but think of her dead relatives: Her mother died of rectal cancer long ago; after a period of several years, so did her elder sister and elder brother; later, one of her younger sisters and her little niece were also taken away by rectal cancer. It was a typical hereditary disease. Xiaojuan’s condition was somewhat alike to the symptoms of rectal cancer, which made her a little disconcerted …
A pounding on the door cut off Xiaojuan’s thoughts. It was her youngest sister. Before Xiaoj

I had been longing for love.
At the age of 18, I, knowing nothing of love, became infatuated with romantic books, idol dramas and youth dramas, and especially their plots. For example, when the heroine is in peril, the hero happens to show up and rescues her, and since then they two have been in love. The male character is handsome, charming, romantic, and kind to the main female character. In a western-style restaurant, with the beautiful sound of violin, the boy suddenly proposes marriage to the girl; henceforth, they walk down the aisle, help each other in times of need, and love each other for the rest of their days…. Every time I saw these plots and scenes, my heart would be touched and I would imagine that
