Is Working Hard Equivalent to Obeying God?

By Jinyan

    Li Xin is a co-worker in a church. Over the years of her belief in the Lord, she has always enthusiastically expended and worked for the Lord and has suffered and paid a price for Him. No matter what the church needed her to do, she would actively do it; even when faced with the danger of being arrested and persecuted by the CCP, she still persisted in spreading the gospel. She firmly believed that her forsaking and expending for the Lord was obeying God, that the Lord would definitely take delight in her, and that she would surely have a place in the kingdom of heaven in the future.

He had tried many times to climb Everest, but every time he ended in failure. In 2012, he even lost nine of his fingers with frost-bite, and so was dubbed as one-fingered mountaineer.

By Cuiping, Malaysia

    “Mommy, I hate you, I hate you! I don’t want you as my mommy anymore!”

    My daughter’s cries stabbed into my heart, and I couldn’t get her resentful glare out of my head. I just didn’t understand it. I’d done my best to teach her and this was what I was getting in return! How exactly was I supposed to be educating her? I felt so anxious and confused about it, and everything I’d done to educate my daughter over the previous two years replayed in my mind …
