【Shoes of the Gospel】Joy to the World? What Is There for the World to Celebrate at Christmas?

Gospel Letters, Truth Monthly

Author: Trustworthy Message It is an excellent time for family dinners at Christmas. We can see Christmas lights everywhere since November. I enjoy walking on the streets with my eyes feasting on the decorations. Festive vibes make Christmas joy. This holiday season celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger in the city of Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago, which marked the beginning of a new era in human history. The Old Testament contains over 300 prophecies about Jesus. The prophets had written them hundreds of years before His birth. All these fulfilled prophecies, proving that the birth of the Son of God was not coincidental. Let’s

【Medicine Life】 Grapefruit Juice

Medicine Life, Truth Monthly

Little Pill Since the article about drug-food interactions, I have a common question: “Can I eat grapefruit or Shatin pomelo when I take cholesterol pills?” Let me explain in more detail and list some of the most common medications here. Grapefruit is a nutritious fruit containing vitamin C and potassium but contains compounds called furanocoumarins.  Seville oranges (often used to make orange marmalade), pomelos, and tangelos (a cross of tangerines and grapefruit) might have the same effect as grapefruit juice. However, the number of furanocoumarins is considerably less in one whole fruit than in freshly squeezed juice (200mL). Interactions occur whether grapefruit is consumed as a whole fruit

【Testifying God in Workplace】Oasis In A Bustling Wilderness

Testimony, Truth Monthly

By Truth Seeker  “It is a mere and miserable solitude to want true friends, without which the world is but a wilderness …” (Francis Bacon)  When I read of the “miserable solitude” of one who wants “true friends” and the contrast between the “world” and ” wilderness” in this quote, I could not help but think of our workplace! I have worked for many years in the corporate world and found that it is not easy for people in the workplace to develop into good friends! As I tried to observe and reason for a while, it could be the high mobility of people in the workplace, their

【Heart of a Doctor】Godliness and Contentment

Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

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’

Tips of Evangelism – Preaching to Different Ethnic Groups

Evangelism Tips, Truth Monthly

Author – Pond Chan In the early days of my conversion in Vancouver, I participated in streetside evangelism training at the Short-Term Mission Center. I wanted to preach the gospel to people of different ethnic backgrounds.  I thought that most Westerners believed in Jesus. However, many Westerners responded: “I’m an atheist and don’t believe in Jesus.” “I used to believe in Jesus and converted to Buddhism,” “don’t talk about Jesus with me…etc.” Since I saw so many westerners who didn’t know the Lord Jesus, it inspired me to preach the gospel to them bravely.  Therefore, I raised the opportunities to meet people of different ethnic groups, including westerners,

Silent companions

Gospel Letters, Truth Monthly

By Eric Huang Peace to you, Brother Jun! Remembrance Day is already near when I write this letter to you, as unknowingly, many people are wearing the red poppy. It reminds me of what happened around this time many years ago. I worked in downtown Toronto and had to take the GO Train to travel between Barrie and Toronto every day. One day I rode the GO Train home after work as usual. I was reading ‘Our Daily Bread’ and jotting down my thoughts when a middle-aged lady who sat behind me all of sudden tapped my shoulder and asked me in English, “Hi there, I wonder if

【Shoes of the Gospel】The Gain and Loss During the Pandemic

Testimony, Truth Monthly

Author: Trustworthy Message I want to ask the reader how you feel when you step into a church. What is a church? A church is a place where believers of Jesus Christ get together. So let’s look at how a church in Toronto walks with people during the difficult time of the pandemic. When Covid-19 broke out in 2020, this church had only a tiny congregation. The church members were physically separated because there were no longer in-person gatherings. However, their minds were closer than ever. They knew very well that Jesus the Lord would like them to share His love under all circumstances so that people could

【Immigrants from Mainland China】Soul and Spiritual World

Talk about Life, Truth Monthly

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,
