The Bible says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). As believers in God, we all know that building a normal relationship with God in order to get closer to God and receive more of the Holy Spirit’s work is crucial. In the fast-paced modern life, however, busy jobs, complicated relationships and evil social trends draw us in and occupy our hearts more and more, and they prevent us from quieting ourselves before God. This causes our relationship with God to become ever more distant and causes us to often feel empty and agitated in the depths of our souls. So how exactly can we establish a proper relationship with God and become closer to God? This is a very important issue put in front of each believer. Actually, we need only to grasp the three aspects below, and our relationship with God will grow closer. Continue reading “How to Get Closer to God Spiritually: 3 Ways of Practice”

I Have Found the Way to the Kingdom of Heaven

My name is Ella, and I am 53, from the Philippines. I was born into a Catholic family. Even though I believed in the Lord since my childhood, I barely knew about the Lord and had little faith in Him, and I was even pursuing to be rich like the unbelievers. In April 1987, I met Villan, a Filipino Christian, when I was a domestic helper abroad. She worked not far away from my work place. At that time she was a leader of a Christian church. She preached to me the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and invited me to attend her church. She also read me Romans 10:9-10 of the Bible, “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation,” telling me that I could go to heaven if I believed in the Lord Jesus. Hearing this I was shocked because I was afraid of going to hell. So I accepted the Lord Jesus and started regularly living the life of church in this Christian church.

Christian Devotional Song | “How Does One Enter Into the True Prayer”

Christian Devotional Song | “How Does One Enter Into the True Prayer

During prayer your heart must be at peace before God,
your heart must be sincere.
Truly commune when you pray to God.
Don’t cheat God with words pleasing to the ear.
So your heart will be quiet before God.
And in the environments arranged for you,
you will then know yourself and hate yourself.
You will hate yourself and forsake yourself.
So you’ll have normal relations with God,
and become someone who truly loves, loves God, loves, loves God,
become someone who truly loves, loves God.

Why Did the Lord Jesus Say “The Son of Man Is the Lord of the Sabbath”?

By He Miao
Why Did the Lord Jesus Say “The Son of Man Is the Lord of the Sabbath”?
The Bible says, “At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath day. But he said to them, ‘But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day’” (Mat 12:1-3, 6-8).

Heated Debate: What Are the Wise Virgins? What Are the Foolish Virgins?
What Are the Wise virgins? What Are the Foolish Virgins?

In a co-worker meeting, Jia Nan said as usual, “Brothers and sisters, now is the late period of the last days when the Lord comes. When the Lord Jesus said, ‘Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes’ (Matthew 24:44), He was telling us to prepare ourselves. What we need to do is read the Bible frequently, do more work for the Lord, pray often, and often confess and repent to the Lord. The most important thing is to watch and make preparations, like the wise virgins preparing enough oil. Only in this way can we welcome His return.

Who Has Added to the Bible?

Who Has Added to the Bible?
In 1994, I believed in the Lord Jesus because of the illness of my husband. After my husband was healed, my faith in the Lord was greater. I didn’t cut any meetings. In the meetings, the pastor often told us, “The last days have arrived. The Lord is coming to receive us, so we must hold on to the Lord’s way, and never depart from the Bible, or go to other churches to listen to sermons. Especially those of ‘Eastern Lightning’, for many of their words are beyond the Bible. Continue reading “Who Has Added to the Bible?”
