Good day to all. Let us delve into the third, and final, chapter of 2 Thessalonians. What is the theme? It is "Conducting oneself in an orderly manner within the church." Upon careful and repeated readings from start to finish, you will find that this singular theme encapsulates the essence of the chapter: "Conducting oneself in an orderly manner within the church."
Orderliness is a potent attribute. An individual who lacks social skills often lacks the understanding of how to conduct oneself and adhere to societal norms. What does it mean to lack social skills? It means a lack of orderliness. Therefore, I must convey to everyone that learning to conduct oneself involves adhering to societal norms. To behave in a manner unbecoming of a person, akin to a wild beast, is problematic.
When raising children, it is imperative to instill in them a sense of orderliness. Indeed, what is the purpose of one's life? It is to learn orderliness, a quality of immense power. Thus, if you indulge a child's physical desires from a young age, you will fail to instill in them a sense of orderliness. For those who are governed by the flesh possess a bestial nature. Beasts are untamed and incapable of adhering to rules. As you know, there are dog trainers. While the term "human trainer" may sound unpalatable, a lack of orderliness in a person is a grave matter.
If you are raising a child, how do you train them to be orderly? Through the use of a cane, a rod, or a larger stick. One mother among us, upon hearing my words, procured a cane and then a stick. Upon seeing them, the child exclaimed, "Oh, the cane is alright, but the stick will kill me!" and secretly discarded the stick downstairs. When the mother returned and inquired about the stick, the child replied, "Mother, that stick will kill me!" Indeed, that is the purpose of the stick. Is it acceptable to not establish rules? Consequently, the stick had to be retrieved from downstairs.
Therefore, I tell you, raising a child without establishing rules is a tragedy. A child who does not adhere to rules is destined for failure in adulthood. If they are naturally inclined to orderliness, they will likely possess social skills. Thus, from a young age, unruly children present a challenge. One sister remarked, "I discipline my child several times a day." This suggests a lack of ability to establish rules and address the child's lack of orderliness. Disciplining a child several times a day implies that each instance is merely a tickle, not true discipline, but rather a massage.
The Church Operates by Rules
The church operates by rules. Why do I say this?
"In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us." (2 Thessalonians 3:6)
The church must teach people to be orderly, not to engage in emotional outbursts. Emotional outbursts are futile. Thus, a child who does not learn orderliness from a young age faces a lifelong tragedy. If the church does not teach orderliness, what does it teach? To indulge the flesh?
There is a couple, quite advanced in years, who always feel a close connection to us. Why? Because they see that their own child, whom they failed to raise properly from a young age, is now in their forties and still struggles with orderliness, making them difficult to manage. However, those we train adhere to rules.
The church has many rules. For example, attending services at the designated time on Sundays. If one chooses to engage in other activities during this time and listens to the recording later, I will accept it if the reason is beyond their control. However, if the time is freely available, I consider it a breach of orderliness. I ask you, who would appreciate such a disorderly person? Certainly, no one would.
Once rules are established, they become paramount. For example, we educate our children to attend painting lessons every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, followed by church service at 10:30 AM. If there is an exam the next day, I ask you, should they attend? Even if the heavens were to fall and the world were to end the next day, they would still attend painting lessons from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Despite the exam the next day, this remains the schedule, as it is fixed.
Regarding attending Sunday service at 10:30 AM, one might say, "I cannot finish my homework." If you cannot finish your homework, what were you doing earlier? You must still attend the service. Wait until 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, or 4:00 PM to complete it. Why? Because this is the rule. Why did God establish festivals? Rules. Why did God establish the Sabbath? Rules. The church must establish rules.
I tell you, if a person can adhere to rules, they are remarkable. Some people simply do not know how to adhere to rules. I am convinced that if it is not one reason, it is another, and such a person is destined for mediocrity. I tell you, one must not be swayed by events. If something can be arranged, we must arrange it well.
This is what I teach everyone. Over the years, have I faced challenges? Yes, I have. However, I have never missed a Sunday service, unless I was completely incapacitated. Even then, with online services available, I would still conduct the service. I tell you, such a character is called resolute, a person of determination. Therefore, the church assesses whether a person is orderly.
When the time comes to arrange matters, we arrange them for another time. For example, when I move, why would I schedule the move during Sunday service? "Oh, there is no other time." Who says so? Some people are quite peculiar. "Oh, I will move at this time." Someone might say, "I need to meet a client at this time." Why do they meet the client? Because it generates income.
Therefore, I tell you, it is crucial to train people to be orderly. Why did Moses establish rules for the Israelites after they left the wilderness? He said, "Break camp," and they would move. Do not ask why, just do it. If I were feeding my child, you would leave if you had to, or remain in the wilderness to feed the wolves.
Therefore, when some brothers and sisters offer me a thousand and one reasons, I cannot accept them. However, I do not want you to attend services begrudgingly. What is the point of attending begrudgingly? As if God needs your attendance. Why? Because it edifies people.
The Most Important Rule of the Church is to Work Quietly and Eat One's Own Bread
Once the church has established rules, one of the most important rules is to work quietly and eat one's own bread. Never mind my Northeastern accent, where I mix up "eat" and "tear," and cannot distinguish between rolled, torn, flat, and torn. When we went to Beijing for school, everyone laughed when we spoke. Why? Because of our authentic Northeastern accent. I would say "I want to eat meat," but "eat" would sound like "yet," which amused them. It was fine. Why? Because the pronunciation was not orderly. The correct pronunciation is "meat," but in authentic Northeastern dialect, it is "yet." The church is not establishing rules about "meat" or "yet." The most important rule of the church is to work quietly and eat one's own bread.
This statement reflects a profound matter. Do you know how Peter established the church? Peter's method was quite interesting. He did not establish a church, but rather a cafeteria. He built a very large cafeteria where people would eat without working, and then complain if they did not get enough to eat. They would argue and bicker. Several thousand people eating without working, selling their possessions, and using the money to eat.
I ask you, how long could that last? There would certainly be many poor people. Was that not exploiting the wealthy? Peter did not know how to build a church, but he knew how to build a cafeteria. He would proclaim, "It is not proper for us, the preachers, to manage the meals." If you cannot even resolve the trivial matter of meals, how can you be a preacher? I tell you, in that era, the church Peter built was a church without rules, a gathering of lazy people. Eating and eating, thinking that since the Lord Jesus was coming, they would just eat and eat. Oh, my goodness! Was that a church?
Therefore, what kind of church did Paul build? Everyone doing their own work and buying their own food. This is the most basic principle. The church is not a cafeteria. The church is to teach you how to be a person, how to work, how to earn money, and how to live a normal life. Do not give me the line that since the Lord Jesus is coming anyway, we should just eat, drink, and wait for death. What if He does not come? What if you have eaten, drunk, and spent all your money, and the Lord Jesus has not yet come? Do you want to die peacefully? That is not the way it is.
Therefore, we Christians today must not be poisoned by this thinking. Even if the Lord Jesus comes tomorrow, even if the world ends tomorrow, we must still do what we need to do today and work diligently. Jesus said it well:
"I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left." (Luke 17:34-36)
Two people working in the field, one will be taken and the other left. That is to say, those who are working, those who are working in the field, one will be taken, those who are pleasing to God, and the other left, those who are not pleasing to God. Not those who are shouting Hallelujah in the church, one will be taken and the other left.
Why is that? I will tell you why. I can explain this clearly. Because the Lord Jesus does not want those who shout Hallelujah loudly. He wants those who can work quietly. Why? Because in the future, the Lord Jesus will bring us, these Christians, whether you are among them or not, I do not know. But I am working hard to ensure that you are all among them. He will bring us, these Christians, to this earth to manage and govern it. From the creation of Adam and Eve, this purpose has never changed. It is not to call you out and then find that you cannot do anything, that you are useless, that you are only good at shouting Hallelujah. That is not the way it is.
It is to have you manage and govern this earth. And to live out the glorious image of God. That is certainly the way it is. But if you cannot do anything, what will you do? If you are useless, only good at shouting Hallelujah, and cannot even earn your own living, are you not a waste? I tell you, let us put it this way, there will certainly be no such people in heaven, and there will be no such people on earth at that time. Because the Lord Jesus wants those who can be people, who can do things, who can manage people, who can manage affairs. That is the logic. The Lord Jesus does not want a group of fools. Fools are useless.
We Must Not Take the Second Coming of the Lord as a Hope for Not Working
We must not take the second coming of the Lord as a hope for not working. Many people, I tell you, as soon as they start working, everything hurts except their hair. As soon as they start working, they say, "Lord, come quickly." The Lord Jesus says, "Why should I come quickly?" "Oh, if you come, I will not have to work." I ask you, if everyone in this world is like that, can they manifest the glory of God? They cannot. I think, "Oh, they have all ceased from their earthly labors." I think, it is a tragedy that this person does not know that working is a grace.
If you read the Book of Ecclesiastes, you will find that rejoicing in labor is a gift from God, a portion that God has given to him. But you are like me. I have a characteristic that most people cannot understand, which is that I have no hobbies. When I was in school, there was a mahjong table in the dormitory. They played that thing 24 hours a day. I really did not understand. I was like that when I was young. Their expressions when they drew a tile, when they were about to win with the last tile. Their faces were contorted. They would rub the tile with their hands. Ah, when they saw it was not the tile they wanted, they would slap it down. Then, when it was their turn to draw a tile again, oh my goodness, their expressions were like they were on drugs. I thought, what is so fun about this? I did not understand.
Some people say, "Then what do you understand?" "Oh, there are so many problems that need to be solved, where do I have time to do this?" I tell you, there is a reason why my mother has Alzheimer's disease. My mother loves to play mahjong. Sometimes when I call her, as soon as she answers, I hear the sound of mahjong tiles. I say, "Where are you?" My mother says, "I am strolling around, strolling around the mahjong tiles." Then you know, my mother, click, she would set up a pipe and play mahjong with a cigarette in her mouth. Oh, she thought it was fun, but I did not understand. Later, as she played, she played her way into Alzheimer's disease.
It is very dangerous for Christians. Christians often take the second coming of the Lord as a hope for not working. This is an absurd logic. In fact, when Jesus comes again, He will lead us to govern a city, ten cities, or a hundred cities. You have to do the work of governing. In fact, God calls people to be placed on the earth to govern it like God. What can you govern? I think it is a bit doubtful.
So I want our church to make a transformation. I want to train the brothers and sisters to be able to do management. Do you want to do management? Some people say, "Teacher, I am currently cleaning." That is okay, the cleaning manager is waiting for you to do it. Some people say, "Teacher, I am sweeping the floor." Is sweeping the floor not the same logic as cleaning? Some people say, "Teacher, I am cleaning toilets." If you can manage one toilet well, you can manage ten toilets well; if you can manage ten toilets well, you can manage a hundred toilets well. If you cannot finish cleaning a hundred toilets, you can arrange for ten people to clean toilets under you. You are the director.
I will say it again, when Jesus comes again, He will lead us to do the work of management. You and I are not eating, drinking, and playing mahjong. You and I are to govern this earth, to manage the beasts of the earth, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea. This is the key. So when the Lord comes again, do not think that it is finally fun, that you can finally rest. That sounds lazy.
So these Thessalonians were selective in what they heard. These Thessalonian Christians, the church was probably not very big. Anyway, there were probably cleaners, officials, and wealthy ladies. Oh, everyone was listening to Paul talking about the second coming of Jesus, oh, glory, oh, very glorious. Then they were daydreaming, oh, I can finally be a wealthy lady.
Do not say that this has not really been said, that is, the bride of Jesus Christ. I have seen it in the church, the bride of Jesus Christ. There was a sister, oh, she was not very good-looking. Anyway, if you asked me to marry her, I would not want to. Of course, I am not qualified. You see, when they talk about Jesus coming again, "I am the bride of Jesus Christ," oh, her face is like a flower blooming. She is so happy, she is the bride of Jesus Christ. She cannot do anything, but she wants to be the bride of Jesus Christ. Oh, she is so proud. I am filled with emotion when I hear it.
The Thessalonians were also like that. When the Thessalonians heard about the second coming of the Lord, they were finished, they were only selective in what they heard. They forgot that the Apostle Paul said to work, they were daydreaming every day, "I am the bride of Jesus Christ." "I am the bride of Jesus Christ," they were waiting for Jesus to come and marry them every day. Oh, they were so proud. I am filled with emotion when I hear it.
Do not think that I only know this now. Jesus wants us to do management. When I was young, when I read the Bible, I also understood it. When I was in high school, I was not good at liberal arts, I was biased. If I was not biased, I would have had a few more points, which would have been good, but I was biased. Later, I became a preacher, and I finally made up for this biased problem, and I am no longer biased. I have made the rules of this church, God's will, and these things clear.
I assiduously study the Bible, and after finishing it, I have never encountered a gospel that allows one to do nothing but eat, drink, and await death. No. Our gospel is one of living out God's glorious image. We are to live out God's glorious image while we are alive. If you look in the mirror, what does your image look like? You are constantly uncomfortable. If it's not this discomfort, it's that discomfort.
Today, while reading the information, one brother and sister summarized it. They are already in their decades, and they never learned to study from childhood. Do you think they have suffered a loss? They lost a fortune, accumulated a mountain of debt, and are still paying it off. Do you think they are upset? You want to eat, drink, and be merry? The kind that just eats, drinks, and waits for death? That won't do. It's full of religious flavor. Why did the previous two chapters keep talking about the Lord's return? It's actually to tell them that this is not an excuse.
Keep Away From Those Who Are Undisciplined
Keep away from those who are undisciplined. The Bible says:
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. (2 Thessalonians 3:6)
Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed. Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer. (2 Thessalonians 3:14-15)
The church's greatest fear is a group of such people. I once met a preacher who believed that the Lord Jesus was coming, so he took his group of Christians to a remote hilltop in my hometown to wait. They waited and waited, but He didn't come. After a week, the food they had brought was all gone, and they returned. Oh, I thought to myself, how foolish can one be? What kind of brain is that? So, being undisciplined is just messing around.
I tell you, you must be especially careful in the church. Be careful of what? Be careful of those who can't do anything right but are the first to shout Hallelujah. Those who are eloquent are mostly liars. Some people become like this because they are deceived, and some people become like this to deceive others. There are many liars in this world. If any of us have been deceived, you must be careful. If you are often deceived, shouldn't you be careful? So, keep away. Am I asking you to be close or keep away? Definitely keep away.
You think they are clean? They are full of filth and garbage. Keep your distance to avoid contamination. Because they speak with excitement, talking about how amazing the Lord Jesus' return will be. But the food they eat is paid for by the money earned by others. If someone is supported by others in everything, aren't they useless? What does the Lord Jesus want you for? What does the Lord Jesus' return have to do with you? It has nothing to do with you.
I want to tell everyone that although we should not regard them as enemies, we should not be too close to them. Birds of a feather flock together. You are the kind of person you are in the group you are in. If you don't keep away, and they are a small group, then let's not be in their group. We are in another group.
When we first started building the church, I found it strange. There was a child who was dirt poor and relied heavily on church subsidies, but he liked to befriend those who caused trouble in the church. So, when I ministered to this kind of person, I was wary. I knew that sooner or later, he would become like them. There is a Chinese saying, "You can tell how a person will be at three years old." If they are like that when they are young, they won't be any better when they grow up. If they discern good and evil when they are young, they will also discern good and evil when they grow up, unless they receive new rules. If they don't receive new rules, they will like that kind of person, and they will still like them when they grow up. It is a tragedy for a person to be ignorant their whole life.
Maintain a distance. Although we advise them, it doesn't mean we are very close to them. Some people like to have personal relationships in the church. The maintenance of the church is not about you being good, me being good, and everyone being good. It's about everyone living out God's image together. If they live out that image and look like ghosts, like black and white impermanence, that's courting death. If you like that kind of person, I think to myself, oh, you are also that kind of person.
So, the church has been constantly sifting out waves of garbage over the past few years, until today. Thank God! Our Lord Jesus is the Lord who cleanses the church. Birds of a feather flock together. What kind of people do you like? Misery loves company. Be careful. You see, I like to eat, drink, and be merry, and we get along well. Anyway, I am convinced that they are just fools.
Admonish Such People
Admonish such people. Remember, it's not that they are just like that, so let's just let them be. We can't let them be. If you are like that, we can't just say we will endure it. That's not the case. I will definitely try hard to admonish you until you leave.
In our church, I used to have poor eyesight and brought in some people who liked to eat, drink, and be merry. They also gave offerings and were quite capable. They kept sharing with me about traveling ten thousand miles and reading ten thousand books, but I saw that they had traveled ten thousand miles but had not read ten thousand books. They wanted me to experience the world and enjoy God's beautiful creation. But I couldn't get interested. They just liked to play, go here, go there, and thought it was great. Later, I realized that eating, drinking, and being merry is just being an old nag. Can they keep going like that?
I advised them to work hard, do things well, and work quietly to earn their own food. Of course, they didn't need to work, and they could still eat well. They had money, but I didn't know how they earned it in the past. I advised them to work, and they advised me to eat, drink, and be merry. We were competing with each other. I didn't think eating, drinking, and being merry was meaningful. Of course, I know good food is good. Don't think I don't know what good food is. But I really have no interest in eating, drinking, and being merry. The only thing I am interested in is working. I serve God and manage what God has entrusted to me. I think playing is too tiring.
I was puzzled. What was I puzzled about? All the cities in the world are the same. You know that? All the cities look the same. You might say, "Oh, it's different. Look how beautiful the small towns in Northern Europe are." So what if you see them? If you see them every day, won't you get tired of them? I think all the cities are the same. Later, I found that all the villages are also the same. It's meaningless. If you want to see them, looking at some pictures online is more beautiful than seeing them with your own eyes.
My colleagues have one characteristic. They don't like to play. If we sit down to eat something or drink some water, sometimes we talk and eat together. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in the process of eating, we start to do shepherding, start to do what we need to do. Eating, drinking, and being merry is really meaningless. All the cities look the same. Oh, I think it's a very strange phenomenon. They think I live a monotonous life, and I think they live a monotonous life. In the end, we called it a draw and gave up. You go play your games, enjoy playing, and I will serve my God well.
So later I concluded that people who eat, drink, and are merry cannot be among us. Admonish them until they either change or are taken away by demons. If they are taken away, so be it. You think they eat, drink, and are merry, but they get gallstones every two or three years. When the gallstones come, they scream in pain. Is that fun? It's not fun.
The Apostle Paul Set an Example for Us
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. (2 Thessalonians 3:8-9)
This is very well said. I can boldly say that it really encourages everyone to follow our example. Why encourage everyone to follow our example? The question is, how much value do we create? If you can create value, will this society treat you unfairly? It won't treat you unfairly.
So I was thinking, why are people poor? Can someone like me be poor? I can't be poor. I definitely won't be poor. Now I encourage everyone to learn to constantly improve themselves and grow in the work they do. When I train young pastors, I talk about how to improve their work efficiency in their jobs. If someone does a day's work for me, we can finish it in two hours. Then we can do something else with the other six hours. How can we be poor? It's not that the quality is bad, or that we are just going through the motions. On the contrary, the quality is really good.
So I think, the Apostle Paul worked day and night, laboring and toiling, so that he would not be a burden to anyone. This was not because he did not have the right to eat and drink for free among everyone, but to set an example for everyone to follow. I have made it my goal that wherever I go, I don't want to trouble the brothers and sisters, and I don't want to take advantage of the brothers and sisters.
Speaking of this, there is a couple among us who were very enthusiastic and received a preacher and his colleagues. Why? Because they went to Canada to hold a special meeting and stayed at their house. Later, I thought it was interesting that they had requests at their house, wanting to eat organic food. Oh my goodness, that's a high demand. Eating, drinking, and staying for free. What do you think? I have seen many preachers like that.
I am determined not to let everyone be burdened. Always. We don't have the slightest thought of taking advantage of everyone, eating, drinking, and staying for free. On the contrary, we use our own hands. It really is hard work, really working day and night. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that from my twenties to today, I basically don't rest. Of course, I sleep at night. I'm not working 24 hours a day.
Some time ago, I was receiving people. That night, I only slept for three hours. I drove all day, and when I came back, I was so tired that I couldn't go on. But I couldn't stop on the highway, so I insisted on finishing that section of the highway. When I got off the highway, there were only two or three kilometers left. I couldn't do it anymore, so I handed it over to my brother and asked him to help me drive. I got into the passenger seat and fell asleep. Oh, I slept so well.
I think our brothers and sisters should all be people who love to work. Working is a grace. The Apostle Paul set an example for me. The Apostle Paul is my idol. If you ask me who I want to see most when I get to heaven and return to the Lord Jesus, I will tell you that I want to talk to Paul. I think I have a lot of the Apostle Paul's characteristics because I follow his example. I say he is my idol, but don't misunderstand. He is the example I follow.
We Must Learn Christ's Patience
In the teachings of Jesus Christ, there is no logic of eating, drinking, and waiting for death, waiting for Jesus to return. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, if you read carefully, what will you definitely read? You will definitely read about working hard.
Later, when Jesus Christ began to preach, it was very interesting. I thought that when He was preaching halfway, someone said, "The table you made for our family collapsed. The warranty hasn't expired yet." Did Jesus have this happen? No. Was there anyone who said, "Jesus, the stool you made for our family broke, and I hurt my butt"? No. Because He was the son of a carpenter.
So I tell you, learn Christ's patience. Many people say that Christ was in the temple at the age of twelve, and then there was a gap of many years. There is no record of what He did for many years. What did He do during those years? He worked. So I think He was working in that place. Jesus Christ was working and waiting for His time to serve. When He came out to serve, He put down His carpentry work and began to do the work of preaching.
Remember, Jesus Christ is not a fool. Jesus Christ is a Christ who builds the church. Those who build the church, whether it is Moses who built the tabernacle, or Solomon and David who built the temple, are all super smart people. If we build God's church today, we cannot build it without Christ's patience. This patience is called faith.
May the Lord guide our hearts, teach us to love God, and learn Christ's patience. Doing carpentry today, doing carpentry tomorrow, and doing carpentry until the age of thirty before coming out to serve. John the Baptist baptized Him, and then He came up from the water and was filled with the Holy Spirit. This is our Lord Jesus. Our Lord Jesus is a very powerful and capable Lord Jesus. Because He is an engineer. If you read the Bible, you will know that He is an engineer.
The Lord's Word, Spread Quickly
As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us, that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. (2 Thessalonians 3:1)
Do you think this sentence is a prayer request? No. It is for them to remember what the Apostle Paul did when they pray. It is for them to know deeply in their hearts what the Apostle Paul is doing, so that they can follow his example. When they pray, "God, please be gracious to our Apostle Paul," as they say this, they begin to walk this path themselves, so that the Lord's word may spread quickly and be honored.
Do you know what it means to be honored? To be honored means that God's power is manifested. So I also hope that our brothers and sisters can have this kind of aspiration, so that God's glory can be manifested through you. Let the word of God spread quickly, so that everyone knows that people can live out God's image while they are alive, because our God, the God of the Lord Jesus Christ and the God of the Apostle Paul, is the God of the living. He allows us to live out God's glory while we are alive.
I think we should completely get rid of that self-indulgent attitude. "Oh, I am the bride of Jesus Christ." "Oh, I am the bride of Jesus Christ." But I can't do anything right, and I'm the best at being self-indulgent. That's not how it's done. If we are going to do it, let's do it like the Apostle Paul. Let us be able to live out God's glory in this world.
So our God is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Our God is the God of the living. So this concept is clearly expressed in the teachings of Jesus Christ. So Jesus lived out God's glory in just three years on earth. Jesus opened up a glorious path for us. Do we want to walk this glorious path? If we want to walk this glorious path, we can also live out God's glorious image.
I ask you, can a lazy person live out God's glorious image? I feel that a lazy person can live out the image of Pigsy. Do you want to be Pigsy, or do you want to live out the image of Jesus Christ? Today, we must know for sure that we cannot turn the logic of waiting for the Lord's return into our logic of laziness.
Thank God! Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a theology that shapes everyone into the image of God. May God work with us, and in the days of this world, may the brothers and sisters be able to live out God's glorious image in every level, every corner, and every detail of life. Amen!
May God bless everyone!
