Mat 6:2 T4T So, whenever you give something to the poor, do not announce it as people announce something that they want other people to know about by playing a fanfare on a trumpet [MET]. That is what the hypocrites do ◄in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places► and on the main roads in order that people might see what they do and praise them. Keep this in mind: People praise those hypocrites, but that is the only reward they will receive!
There is a crisis among young people in China - suicide rates are among the highest they have ever been.
But in their time of greatest need, the Gospel is providing hope where communism has failed them.
@MaryMamuzich @sinbach Prayer is probably the most underrated activity ever...
@moamfj I ended up sleeping pretty good on Sunday night after some prayer and scripture reading, then slept great last night after praying/talking to Jesus and listening to worship throughout the workday on Monday and refocused my heart on Jesus and the Truth. My hunger for the Word has returned and I love the peace that it brings ✝️
@lauralynn Thank you! I have refocused my heart on Jesus and the Truth and have been feeling the peace of God again. Hallelujah! ✝️
@MaryMamuzich thank you! I ended up sleeping pretty good Sunday night and read some scriptures while I was in bed. Listened to worship music, sermons & prayed throughout the workday on Monday. Then slept great last night and did the same today while working and have been able to refocus my heart on Jesus and the Word, feeling peace again
@Asianking thanks! This is a verse I will memorize. I am now reflecting on the good things Jesus has done for me over the years and remembering the times he was with me through much bigger obstacles and oppositions.
Planting an Underground Church
“...It is simply enough to remember that in the most difficult times and places in church history, the church has been underground & unincorporated. It has not had the tools that today we Christians in the free world are convinced are necessary for the church’s survival, nor did it have access to the world’s financial systems. But it freely followed the Lord wherever he led, so it thrived.” - Eric Foley
@KarlGessler I’m not sure, but on a side note I’ve been listening to your podcast for the past 3 weeks and really enjoy it! The interview with Mark was very good, such a powerful testimony. I’ve even been going back and listening to your older episodes as well, so good!
@sinbach I was about 7 years old when my parents took me to a Carmen concert! And I remember my Brother had a DC Talk cassette tape too!
The Governor of my state signed the Fetal Heartbeat Bill today! Been praying for this for about a year now. As expected it’s already facing lawsuits, but God Is greater than the intimidator! ✝️🙏🏽✝️

⚠️ DAY 3!
We look at Esther - one of the few people in the world to have been arrested in both North Korea and China and lived to tell about it.
@bethany I just bought Zhang Rongliang’s book the other week, so excited to start reading it! ✝️
@sinbach mine was a 96’ Camry that my grandma sold me for $1 haha. Only took it over a 100mph for a minute though. Heart was pounding
Then looking up at his disciples, he said: Blessed are you who are poor, because the kingdom of God is yours. - Luke 6:20
Does He mean spiritual poor? From being weighed down by the Pharisees and Law or financially poor? I think about this verse a lot and still go back and forth with both. Either way, seeing Jesus say “the kingdom of God will be yours” is pretty awesome! ✝️
