The Practice of “Declutter”

Author: Raymond Cheng CreationCare120 Founding Member creationcare120.info Whether living in a house that hasn’t been renovated in years or moving into a new environment, most people will consider giving their home a new look. But renovating your home does require some driving force.

The driving force comes from two aspects: one is the external force. For example, when family members and friends suggest bringing new inspiration to home design, they are more willing to help to clear out unneeded

【Testifying God in Workplace】You Are Standing on Holy Ground

Cindy Shum  2022-08 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” 4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”  And Moses said, “Here I am.”  5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your

Eric Huang In the last few letters, I mentioned that before I became a believer and while seeking the Truth, I became a friend of Nancy Clay, my Sunday School teacher, and her family. She often invites me to go with her family to Auburn Tiger football games at her children’s school, backcountry hikes, family dinners, movies, and more. One Christmas, they took me along, driving for a few hours to her parent’s hometown, Alexander City, to attend their annual Christmas family reunion. Not only did I have a turkey dinner with their family and receive many Christmas gifts, but I also had a fantastic interaction with them,

Cheung   2022-08 In a ‘blink’, I have worked as a real estate agent for over 20 years. Although this job didn’t give me a prestigious title or a profession that people admired and respected, I liked it because I could control my working hours.  I also love real estate investments and helping others find the right place to their liking as home.

We spend most of our income on our children. As a result, we want

【Shoes of the Gospel】Is it Hard to Lead Someone to Christ?

Author: Trustworthy Message  2022-08 I would like to share a testimony with you all: February 16, 2022, on the morning of my surgery to remove my breast cancer tumor, I set my alarm clock to arrive at the hospital early in the morning, but I woke up an hour earlier than scheduled. So I asked the Heavenly Father, “What will I do with this extra hour?” The Holy Spirit spoke a name in my heart. So I called her immediately, and she was chatting with a classmate on Zoom. I suddenly thought that her classmate might be a non-believer! Does God want me to preach the gospel to
