O God!
Please have mercy upon all your persecutors and enemies.
Forgive them, O Lord God.
They know not what they do.
You did pray that prayer when they crucified You on the cross.
Thank You, O lord God for being so kind, so long-suffering, so gracious, and so forgiving.
You are truly AGAPE.
We love, adore and worship You now and forever and evermore as Our ONLY TRUE LIVING GOD.
Amen.

No matter what,...
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
No matter what we do, there will always be those who resist the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Even, Jesus Christ, the Son of God was Himself rejected when He was walking upon the earth some two thousand years ago.
So, let's stop ever thinking that everybody will come to Jesus Christ and receive Him as Lord and Savior. No, definitely, not everyone will become a follower of Jesus Christ. It is sad, but true.
Nevertheless, we must continue to believe in Christ, serve Him, and obey him as He leads and guides. This is our best and wisest choice in life.
The Day will come when we will be transferred into His beautiful perfect paradise- Heaven. Then, we will see fully how it was worthwhile living for Our God instead of any other way.
May God bless you all, dear ones.
Your Brother

We simply need God.
How can we be here without God, the Creator?
How can the world and universe come into being without God?
How can the Word of God come into being without God?
How can we have a historical Jesus Christ without God?
How can tragedies be turned into triumphs without God?
How can all things work out for our good without God?
How can we see again loved ones who passed away without God?
How can we be resurrected without God?
How can true justice be rendered to all without a Just God?
How can all wrongs be righted without an All-Powerful God?
No, no, no. There must be a God. Indeed there IS!
Let's praise, worship, and adore Him now and forever!
To God alone be all Glory, Praise, and Honor now and forever!
Amen and amen.

Our greatest non-physical need.
The most important physical need of a human being is air/food/ drink/clothing/shelter; their most important non-physical need is love (agape) and forgiveness.
We all need to be loved and forgiven of our sins. We have all fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). None of us are perfect. We all need God's mercy and grace. In fact, He did show us His mercy and grace. He died for us while we were still sinners. God so loved us that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
If one is not forgiven of one's sins by God, he/she will suffer God's wrath and spend eternity in hell, according to God's Word. We all need to make sure that we have believed and received Jesus Christ in our hearts as He is the only way for us to be saved (John 14:6). There is no other way. There is no other Name by which we can be saved and rescued from Hell to Heaven. Jesus Christ Is Our Only Solution.
Let us not ignore and neglect this absolute truth. It is a matter of Life (eternal) or Death (eternal). Let us make the right decision before it is too late, before God's wrath is manifested to its full extent on Judgment Day. May God bless us!

Fight the good fight of Faith (I Timothy 6:12)
Brothers and Sisters,
We got to fight the good fight of Faith. We got to. We must. We have no better choice. We cannot let people continue living in the lies of the devil. We cannot dishonor Our God by neglecting and ignoring His commandments. We are to point to the Truth.
This does not mean that we do not show love/agape. It does not mean that we reject all those who are wrong. They are victims of Satan themselves. We need to accept them as God accepts them in the love of Christ. Just like Our Lord did not reject the sinners but He clearly demanded that they sin no more (John 8:11). He clearly pointed them to the Absolute Truth . He did speak the Truth in Love. This is what we need to do as well.
We must accept and respect each other but we must never compromise the true Faith. We must always uphold the Truth of God and His Word. A math instructor has to teach the objective truth and facts of the subject, although he respects different wrong viewpoints of his students in math problem-solving. He keeps persevering patiently in doing this until they can see the light and voluntarily decide to change their wrong approach and make the necessary corrections.
This is the same in every area of life. We must uphold the absolute truths of God and His Word everywhere we are. We need to be engaged and committed to the Way, the truth, and the Life (John 14:6) wherever Our Lord has placed us individually.
Yes, we must fight the good fight of faith in love and unity, brother, sister, till death do us part. Remember, we are on the Victor's side- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Who can be against us when God is for us? Nothing shall separate us from Him and His love for us (Romans 8).

9/11
We are commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11 these days. We are hearing a lot of blessed testimonies of God's miracles. The Sovereign God has comforted and provided for and healed the wounded hearts of so many. He has made all things work out for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). He has strengthened His children in America and the world over these past ten years. All praise, honor, and glory be to Our God now and forever and evermore.
Friday, September 2, 2011
We are content!
We may have been wronged or deceived or abused or victimized or robbed or assaulted or defeated or not received what we hoped for.
Nevertheless, we are content because we know that all things work together for our good as we, who are called according to God's purpose, continue to love Our Lord faithfully (Romans 8:28). God has not the good but the best for us as we wait patiently upon Him.
Praise You, O Lord!
Honor and Glory be to Our Holy Sovereign God now and forever and evermore. Amen.

What does being a Christian mean to us?
Being a Christian means everything to us.
Our born again experience in Christ set us totally free from the power of sin, Satan, and death unto eternal abundant life, and Heaven. This greatest deliverance by Our Savior Jesus Christ has filled the emptiness of our hearts with the Holy Spirit who causes us to bear the virtues and qualities of agape love, joy, peace, hope, wisdom, true knowledge, patience, perseverance, gentleness, kindness, humility, righteousness, truthfulness, integrity, compassion, and more.
Becoming a follower of Christ satisfied all our needs and answered our questions about life and death, Heaven and Hell, life meaning and purpose. We found our true identity in Christ!
Our decision to believe in Jesus Christ has affected our whole life and outlook, our thoughts, desires, goals, ambitions, dreams, hopes, purpose and objectives. It also affects our character and personality. For example, we can truly forgive those who do not deserve it only because of being a Christian. And we can forgive ourselves truly again because of being a Christian. Our Christian faith affects our relationships, conduct and behavior, attitudes and demeanor, words and deeds, activities and travels, and giving and expenditures. Our Christian faith positively affects each and every aspect and compartment of our lives.
As Christians, we are motivated to do our very best in our jobs, duties, and responsibilities everyday wherever we are. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have something good to offer to others: the Good News of the Gospel, which the world desperately needs, and which is its only way of eternal salvation.
Yes, being Christians mean everything to us! It has positively affected our whole beings: spirit, heart, soul, and body.
Praise, honor and glory to Our Lord God now and forever and ever. Amen.

United in Christ Jesus, let us stand firm against Satan
So be it! Amen!

Happy 60th anniversary to CCF!
Hello brothers and sisters,
We are glad to hear about the upcoming celebration of the 60th anniversary of CCF. CCF has been and is still a great blessing to us. We do cherish the blessed times we spent together for many years.
Our own parents had been blessed members of CCF. They are both now in bliss and felicity in Heaven. We personally got great opportunities and privileges to serve in many varied ways- the Chinese workers, the elderlies, and the youth for some ten years consecutively before flying to the United States.
We pray that CCF keeps growing in Christ and in His Word. God loves you all. We love Him and you all. Be blessed!
Happy Anniversary!

We pray for everyone who is still lost. We pray for them and trust you to save them, O Lord. O God, have mercy upon all Your creatures.
O Lord God, may we all seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Thank You for Your promise of taking care of all the rest, when we seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness.
Amen.

What Our One True Creator God expects from us
Our only true God of the universe expects us to believe His Word, the Bible absolutely and obey it and practice it, that is, to live it out.
To believe in the Bible is to believe that God is a Triune God, the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. To believe in God is to please Him, to follow Him, and not to grieve Him. To believe in God is to obey His commandments. His commandments are summed up in loving (agape) Him and others.
To live the agape life means to forgive one another and to bless one another. agape living implies praying for one another in the Name of Jesus Christ. agape rejects all evil, does good only. agape rejects lies, hypocrisy, and deception but rejoices in the Truth, Joy, and Peace.
agape living is sacrificial unconditional loving. It is loving everyone, including enemies like Jesus Christ demonstrated and manifested Himself. Besides the supreme example of Our Lord and Savior who personified agape, a beautiful illustration given by Christ Jesus Himself is the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).
The Good Samaritan stopped out of his way to help, to bring support and healing. He gave of himself and his belongings to even a stranger. He really cared. He did not follow the crowd. He did not follow bad examples. He acted by faith in God. He stooped down and humbled himself to minister to the needy. He saved a precious life. He was a blessing to others. He was indeed Christlike and godly.
Let us be good Samaritans to one another and thus glorify Our majestic God as we live the resurrected life in Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Savior! Amen.

The Good News!
He was born of a virgin. He grew up in favor with God and man. He lived a life of being and doing good only. He was holy, righteous, humble, wise, loving and compassionate. He was murdered as the vilest criminal on a cross. This happened some two thousand years ago in Israel.
On the third day after his crucifixion, He rose again. Yes, He was resurrected and is alive. After being seen by His followers for a period of forty days, He ascended into Heaven, where He is now. He will return back some day in glory. He is Jesus Christ! He is Our Lord and Savior.
Jesus Christ died to save us from our sins and eternal condemnation in Hell. He has set us free to believe in Him and receive freely the eternal abundant life and spend eternity in Heaven thereafter. Isn’t this Good News for one and all? Yes, sure, it is.
While looking forward to Christ’s Second Coming, we are to share the Good News of the Gospel to all the lost ones. We are to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything He has commanded us. Jesus Christ has promised that He will be with us always, through His Spirit, to the end of the age. (Ref: Matthew 28:18-20)

Definition of a Christian
Is it clear for you, friend, who is a real true Christian?
So many different answers do we hear
How can we define it simply?
It is not captured in our hearts
Unless God helps us
Not everyone got it although
God revealed it in His Word
Yes, it is there in the New Testament
Easy to define
Easy to understand
A Christian is simply a slave of Jesus Christ
Made to obey HIM
All the time
Such was Apostle Paul and other disciples of Christ
Let us be faithful slaves of Our Lord
All the rest of our lives
Vow it and be it
Express it daily.
O Lord Jesus Christ,
Forever be glorified!
Consecrated let us be
His are we forever
Respect and revere Our Lord
In Christ we are truly free
Slave of Christ is the most blessed life ever
Taste and see for yourself
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life
Except through Him, none can go to the Father and to Heaven
Such is the Gospel message
Unless we are born again in Christ Jesus, we cannot inherit eternal life
Slave of Jesus Christ- this is a true genuine Christian!

Our message to you, friend, with love
Greetings to you all, dear friends!
We hope that you are all fine. As we are approaching the Easter season, we must tell you something. We want to share with you before it is too late! We never know. Only God knows what will happen tomorrow. Thank you for your time and patience. Here it is:
Jesus Christ is the Truth. Knowing Jesus Christ is knowing the Truth. This Truth will set you free. You will be set free from ignorance, darkness, and bondage. You will be set free from unrighteousness, impurity, and immorality. You will be set free from pride, prejudice, and arrogance. You will be set free from lies, deceit, and hypocrisy. You will be set free from sin, Satan and death (I Corinthians 15:55-57). Hallelujah! Glory to God!
Believe in Jesus Christ and you'll see!
Believe that He is God
Believe in His virgin birth, miracles, teachings, and crucifixion
Believe in His resurrection, ascension, sovereign authority, and His return.
Believe in Jesus Christ and you'll see!
You'll experience the Way, the Truth, and the Life
You'll understand where you came from, who you are, and where you are going
You'll see what life, death, Heaven, and Hell are really about
You'll enjoy true love, joy, and peace
You'll experience true knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom
You'll live in true freedom
Believe and see!
This is the greatest of all victories ever! Everyone in the whole wide world must hear and know about it! It is a victory far superior to any other victory in history. It is very far above any victory in any election, world cup, Olympic games, or field of research. It is the victory of victories! It is the victory of Truth over lies; Peace over violence; agape love over hatred. It is the victory over the flesh, over the world (John 16:33), over evil (I John 3:8), over sin (Romans 6:23; 7:24-25), over Satan and demons (I John 3:8), and over death (I Corinthians 15:26, 55, 57). It is the victory won at Calvary two thousand years ago, on a cross between two thieves at Golgotha. This victory has been won for you and me (John 3:16; I John 3:16; I John 5:5) when Jesus Christ was killed on that rugged cross as if He was the vilest criminal, He, the Holy, Humble, and Innocent One!
Friend, if you are asking how could that be called a victory, understand that Our Lord Jesus Christ did not stay dead. On the third day, He rose again as He foretold He would.
He has risen! He was resurrected!
He is alive!
He is God!
He is The second Person of the Holy Trinity!
He is now seated at the right hand of Father God!
Hallelujah!
Celebrate Jesus, yes, celebrate Him
Today and everyday forevermore!
Hallelujah!
Happy oncoming Resurrection Day celebration!

The Father and the Son are ONE
Last Sunday, at the end of my teaching on Philippians 1:27-2:11, a brother came up to me to ask about 2:11 which says: "and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father". He was asking, how is it to the glory of the Father, when Jesus and the Father are coequal? God gave me the answer right away in my heart.
The answer is:
It is to the glory of God the Father, to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. It is the Father's will, that all men should honor the Son as they honor the Father. In John 5:23 (King James Version), it says:
"That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him."
The Father and the Son are ONE. They are united. They are in unity. When One is uplifted and glorified, the Other One is, too. It is a mutual uplifting or honoring or glorification. And the brother was satisfied. Praise Our Lord!
Now, following this, what do you think will happen to the Father or the Son, when One or the Other is dishonored or blasphemed or mocked or rejected? I believe that when we reject Christ, we are rejecting the Father too. When One is grieved, the Other is too. When we blaspheme Father God, when we dishonor Him, we are blaspheming and dishonoring the Son too. I may add, the Holy Spirit as well. In fact, they are Three in One- the Holy Trinity, the Triune God. When One is dishonored, the other Two are as well. And when we obey One,we are obeying the Triune God Himself.
We must never try to dissociate them. They are just ONE! (John 10:30)

To live is Christ, to die is gain.
In the book of Philippians, chapter 1, verse 21, we see the struggle (French: embarras du choix) of our elder brother, the Apostle Paul. He said, " For me to live is Christ, to die is gain". For him personally, it would be much more beneficial to die and be with Our Lord, rather than under house arrest. However, he was not putting his own interest first, but the interest of the Philippian brethren. The latter would benefit more through Paul staying alive and sharing God's wonderful Word and instructions to them. So, Paul was content to suffer for Christ and remain alive sharing His Gospel until God chooses the perfect timing for his departure to Heaven. Thanks to the apostle's obedience and submission to Our God, today, we can learn from and enjoy all his letters and epistles of eternal value.
I also want to be able to say sincerely everyday, like Saint Paul, " For me to live is Christ and to die is gain". I want to be like Our Lord, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. He asked Father God if He could avoid this ultimate suffering on the cross, nevertheless, "Not My will, but Yours be done". So be it, Lord. Amen.
Apostle Paul has joined the cloud of witnesses that the Bible talks about in Hebrews 12:1. May we, Brothers and Sisters, throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, so that Apostle Paul, the saints, the angels, and Our Triune God may all be pleased with and rejoice over us in Heaven.

How can we live up to the Gospel?
According to Philippians 1:27, we are to live up to the Gospel. How can you and I do that?
Let us humbly ask Our Lord Himself to help us live a life worthy of His Gospel.
"O God, please lead and guide us Yourself to become:

Yes, Lord, May You mold us to become godly and Christlike throughout the rest of our lives. Let us be what You have designed us to be!
O God, we also ask that You lead and guide us to do what You want us to do for the rest of our lives. May we faithfully:
-do our jobs/ministries in the spirit of Christ
-help, support and care for each other
-give as You direct us
-preach and teach Your Word faithfully
-do works of charity
-practice hospitality
-serve whoever, whenever and wherever

Imagine...
"The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good" Proverbs 15:3
Beloved,
Imagine Our Father God, Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the angels watching us from Heaven every moment. They witness our every move. (Hebrews 12:1)
Beloved,
Will they be pleased?
Will they be proud?
Will they be honored by us?
Will God be glorified?
Are we living as we are supposed to?
Are we loving God and each other?
Are we obeying God and practicing His Word?
Are we upholding the Truth in Love?
Have we forgiven those who have sinned against us?
Have we repented of our sins?
Have we made restitution accordingly?
"O Lord God, please have mercy and grace upon us! Amen."
Beloved,
May God and all His precious ones in Heaven bear witness to our Christlike lifestyle here on earth!
Christlike living is characterized by agape, divine love (I John 4:16). agape is patient and kind. It does not envy, boast; it is not proud, rude, self-seeking, easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. agape does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. agape never fails. (I Corinthians 13:4-8)

Lesson from 2 Kings 17
Last Sunday, I taught on 2 Kings 17. The main lesson which I found was God is not a God that we can mock. He does not tolerate our hypocrisy forever. We cannot pretend to be His disciples. We cannot say we follow the Lord but our actions and deeds are contrary to His Word and Will.
God expects us to repent of our sins and obey Him promptly. If we don't, we will face His judgment and suffer His punishment like the disobedient hypocritical Israelites did in the book of 2 Kings 17.
"O Lord God, please have mercy upon us. Forgive us our sins. Reveal to us our secret sins and may we repent promptly and thoroughly. We want to obey you, O Lord. So, help us, God. Amen."

Happy Chinese New Year 2011!
To all our dear Chinese brothers and sisters in Christ:
Happy New Year!
May we be first and foremost Christlike, manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Let us always obey God and His Word. OBEDIENCE to Our Lord God is the BOTTOM-LINE of our religion. Everything else is secondary. We may sing, shout, praise, dance, pray, read, meditate, write, preach, etc, etc...,but what counts is the actual execution of God's commands, living it out in our daily lives, wherever we are.
Actually, the first and foremost commandment of God is to love Him with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength. The second is to love our neighbors as ourselves. The kind of love being referred to here is agape, the God kind of sacrificial love, the kind of love that Jesus Christ demonstrated unto us, even unto His most cruel unjust death on the cross.
God said in His Word, that if we love Him, we will obey His commandments (John 14:15). So, the bottom-line of the true Christian religion is to OBEY God and His Word, to practice it, to live it out. All the rest is futile without this true genuine obedience to Our Lord God.
May God help us to truly live according to His commandments! Amen.
