“For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.” — 1 Corinthians 14:2 God does not always tell me what’s my life will be. Before I came to Columbus OH, I had lots of unknown things. How can […]

A great conflict between my faith and my Chinese family
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” (Ephesians 6:1-3) I am a Chinese international student who received Christ in the […]
If we see things in terms of Gospel, how would that be different?
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. —-Isaiah 41:10 Last week on the way to […]
God speaks to me through a text message!
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 God speaks to us in different but creative ways. One of our ISEED course teachers used to say that if my heart is open and sensitive to His voice, I would discover the unique […]

One of the memory verses this month is John 15:13. Jesus being the […]
Life is Full of Surprises
I was having a very bad attitude on the first night when I arrived at the retreat center. I complained to myself why I even came to the retreat. Later, I realized that God wanted me to be there to meet a special person. I cannot tell you about this person, but our meeting meant […]

Attitude of Gratitude In Masterlife, one of the classes we are taking as part of the discipleship program, we went through a devotional this past week focusing on praying in faith. On one of the days, the author of the workbook we are using shared a story of a person who was once brushing his […]
If it is for a good plan to experience temporary suffering, is the pass hurt also a glory?
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. — 2 Corinthians 4:17 In the past few years, a lot of my relatives who knows me very well since I was little told me that I have changed a lot. Every time when they talked about […]
God’s unconditional love
“There is nothing that will make me love you less, and there is nothing that will make me love you more. Because God has loved me to the fullest extent, nothing I could do will earn His love nor lessen His love to me, and that’s how I see my relationship with you.” This past […]
My thesis defense was a testimony to the Lord
“… call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” (Psalm 50:15) I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation on Sept 20th, 2019.
