In Obedience to Christ’s Great Commission

Before Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, He said to His disciples, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matt 28:18-10) Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVI : 33”

Mission trip to Shandong

This is my 13th year of ministry in China, totalling almost 50 trips since the year 2000.

As we ate our lunch, Rev Anyi shared about his church ministry and the background to their Christian faith. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVI : 26”

Pursuing wisdom in spiritual growth

Imagine two young hungry children in the playground. Zac was enjoying a stick of fishballs, while Jim watched hungrily on his scooter. Jim offered to give his scooter to Zac in exchange for some fishballs. As Jim enjoyed his fishballs, Zac rode away on his scooter.

You may think that Jim was being foolish to have exchanged his scooter, a favourite birthday gift, in return for a few fishballs which satisfied only a momentary hunger. But this was the same foolish choice which Esau made when he was hungry. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVI : 25”
