By Dr. Enoch Kwan Everyone has faith in something. Even non-religious people have faith or belief in something. For example, people believe in money, self or pleasure, etc. I find this statement very true, not only for our relationship with God but true in general with people: Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is (God) and believe that He (is so pleased to) reward (with many good gifts) those who seek Him (diligently).

Do not go through your trials in vain
Doctor Luke In my past 30 years of practicing medicine, I have seen many people experience physical or mental suffering. None of us will seek pain by ourselves. We all hope to live a peaceful life. However, trials are a must for everyone, and no one can escape. Trials often come when you and I are least prepared. So what attitude should we have when facing trials?

Each of us is helpless and weak and needs God’s

By Dr. Luke “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:10). In my many years of practicing medicine, the breakdown of relationships because of money gave me chills. I saw the relationship between parents and children and brothers and sisters. They stopped communicating with each other or even went to court because of conflicts in the distribution of wealth. But when you talk to them personally, they have a valid reason to feel they are being mistreated. Therefore, when I divvy up my parents’

Author: Solid Road In this issue, we will touch on the depth of the hearts of immigrants from Mainland China, a susceptible and challenging part to discover. Although they advocate the virtues of saints, emphasize spiritual beauty, and respect noble sentiments and noble spirits, their hearts are heavy, and their lives are not accessible. The history of the Japanese invasion, the Chinese Civil War, the political movements at various stages, reform, and opening after the New China founded caused dramatic changes in the social system. Social competition affected not only one generation but the second and third generations. As a result, people have developed trauma, resentment, bitterness, sadness,

Author: Helen Man My family and I have recently visited the Museum of the Bible. It was a fantastic experience.

But renovating your home does require some driving force. This summer, I was determined to remodel my home, forcing me to clear out household items that had been piling up for nearly three decades since we immigrated here.
