Lin Tianyou Master of Christian Studies The title of this article may seem exaggerated, like Lao Wang selling melons, but it is absolutely true. Long live Jingke! Theology is boring! In 2008, I completed a bachelor's degree in biblical studies at a Bible college in the United States and have been pastoring ever since.
