Chinese Christians fear crackdown

by Colin Dexter

Christians in the south eastern city of Wenzhou are warning of a crackdown on their faith, following the destruction of one church and warnings to others.

Despite official atheism, there are more regular church goers in China than in the whole of Europe.

Wenzhou is often called the Jerusalem of China with over a thousand churches, but events of the past week have caused consternation among its Christian congregations.

Do I treat my Christianity like an eccentric relative?

by Colin Dexter

Paul says in Romans:- For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.[]

2 Corinthians4 v 5 says:-

 You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

I read from the Bible and she started to walk!

by Colin Dexter

The day a man (in Afghanistan) brought a copy of the Bible into his house he witnessed a miracle: his disabled daughter began to walk. He had tuned into  Christian radio station and heard the gospel. Then he managed to obtain a copy of the New Testament. He took this into his house. He had seven children one of whom was disabled and could not walk. When the New Testament was brought into the house she started to move . When the man began to read from the Bible she started to walk.

“Miracles happen to the glory of God. Share your experience with Jesus to the people”
