The Origins of Christmas

Every year, as Christmas approaches, shops on the street arrange a dazzling display of Christmas presents, with Santa Claus and Christmas trees, and so on. Festooned in trees and on buildings there are many-colored lights, and whole cities are decorated with lanterns and colored hangings, and everywhere there is joy and excitement. To Christianity, Christmas is a very special holiday, and several months before Christmas, many churches will begin to busy themselves preparing everything necessary for the Christmas holiday. On Christmas Day, the churches are filled, and brothers and sisters get involved in the celebrations, eating Christmas dinner, putting on performances and worshiping the Lord Jesus, and so on.

English Christian Song "God's Love Has Melted My Heart"

English Christian Song "God's Love Has Melted My Heart"

Hearing Your kind call, I return before You.

Your words enlighten, I see my corruption.

                                                          I

I’ve often been cold to You, hurt and saddened You,

hard-hearted, rebelled, left You alone.

Why is Your love for man repaid with pain?

I hate my hard heart and my deep corruption.

Filthy, unworthy to see You, of Your love.

I am such a rebellious person,

how could I know Your heart, see Your love?

Your love is so real, I owe You so much.

You keep me company when I’m chastised.

Your heart aches with love when I’m refined.

When I’m sad, You’re there. What I lack, You give.

Facing Your love, my heart wants to break.

Your love has melted my frozen heart,

and now I have had a change of heart.

A Father and His Step-Daughter Surpass the Ties of Blood

By Xia Zixuan, Hubei Province

A Grey Childhood

There was no mother and no father around when Zixuan was growing up; she didn’t know what the cakes the children from the city talked about tasted like, and she’d never seen a goldfish blow bubbles in a fish tank. On no evening did she ever hear the stories of Grimm’s fairytales, but instead she listened to her grandpa tell her the story of The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants. Her real father leaving and her mother remarrying had brought about feelings of inferiority when she was little, and even more so had become a shadow in the depth of her heart that she could not drive away. Especially when she saw the other children with their parents, caring for them and being with them, Zixuan’s heart would ache with pain.

Introduction

New 2018 Gospel Song "The Purpose of God's Management Work"

I

God has a 6,000-year management plan, split into three phases, each called an age.
Age of Law first, then Age of Grace, and the Age of Kingdom is the final phase.
While God’s work differs in each, it all accords to what mankind needs,
or to be more precise, it accords to the tricks used by Satan while battling Him.

The Words of the Holy Spirit "To Have an Unchanged Disposition Is to Be in Enmity to God"

Introduction

The Words of the Holy Spirit "To Have an Unchanged Disposition Is to Be in Enmity to God"     

Almighty God says, "Born into such a filthy land, man has been severely blighted by society, he has been influenced by feudal ethics, and he has been taught at “institutes of higher learning.” The backward thinking, corrupt morality, mean view on life, despicable philosophy, utterly worthless existence, and depraved lifestyle and customs—all of these things have severely intruded upon man’s heart, and severely undermined and attacked his conscience. As a result, man is ever more distant from God, and ever more opposed to Him.
