Take My Life

Guo Desen, a first-year bachelor of theology, Desen, his wife Minyi and their daughter Xin Yue, appreciate the "waste youth" experience. When I was in junior high school, I loved sports. I played football and ran every day. I represented the school in competitions and won numerous awards, but my academic performance was poor. He was so unsatisfactory that he was even kicked out of school due to poor academic performance in the third year of secondary school. This experience made me feel worthless and hopeless, and I was unhappy every day in my life. After I transferred to another school, I gradually became a bad student, causing trouble in class, smoking, and getting into fights with others. It can be said that before I believed in the Lord, I was a hopeless and worthless “waste”.

Environmental Protection from the Perspective of Augustine’s Doctrine of Creation

Wu Guojie, Professor of Christian Thought (Church History), Augustine’s theory of creation is undeniable. From the perspective of historical circumstances, "environmental protection" has never been an issue of concern to the early church fathers or religious reformers; only because global pollution has become increasingly serious in modern times and climate warming continues As a result, environmental protection has become more and more important to the church community. However, this does not mean that the historical documents of the church from the past are worthless when discussing relevant issues.

The Starting Point for Our Caring Responsibility of the Environment

Does Deng Shaoguang’s Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) teach anthropocentrism? In recent years, the Chinese church community has become more and more concerned about the ecological environment. Many brothers and sisters have taken the initiative and are committed to practicing low-carbon and green life in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

This is worth thinking about. ...
