The Discipline of Singing and the Discipline of Spirituality

Associate Professor of Church Music Wen Zhanglian I once heard someone say loudly: "In what era are there still people participating in choirs, doing vocal exercises and other time-wasting things?" I feel very sad for this view! The training that believers receive in the choir is not only an improvement in singing skills, but also an exercise in service mentality and even the entire spiritual life. It can help believers strengthen their faith and inspire them to be sincere and practical followers of Christ! I have been teaching singing for more than thirty years. During this period, I have accumulated some teaching experiences, which triggered my reflection on seeking spiritual life. I have found that the practice of singing is very similar to the practice of spirituality (the...

The Foundation and Nature of Church Unity

Michael McKee, Assistant Professor of New Testament Disputes and discord are common problems in the church. If they occur in church leadership--such as among pastors and deacons--they often lead to church divisions. Recently at a seminary in Sydney, an elderly teacher brought out the seriousness of this problem in a humorous way. He said: "On average, the church will suffer a disaster (he was referring to church schism) every ten years. If you The church has spent the past nine years peacefully, but you must be careful now.”…

Midway: A Life to be Hammered into Shape

Midway, a graduate of Chen Zhihu's Master of Taoism, feels that he has not yet received his graduation certificate! Beyond the completion of classroom studies, what marks the “completion” of a theology graduate? As a missionary worker, is there really such a thing as "finished" and "unfinished"? Biblical study and theological thinking in theological education still need to be practiced and verified in the church’s preaching and teaching; the effectiveness of pastoral care still needs to be tested by time and whether you can help brothers and sisters in different situations in their lives. Show personal care during encounters. Whether you are a competent missionary worker who is suitable for the Lord’s use, no one can answer you at this moment. It depends on your future efforts and loyalty. A lot of knowledge, study, thoughts, and understandings still need time to settle and comprehend. So what does "graduation" mean in a theological career? ...

Zhang Chuanyang, first-year Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies, Xiuzhen with her eldest daughter Tianen, son Tianheng and young daughter Tianlan. The touching feeling that has lingered in my heart for more than 30 years. After I was born again and was saved and became a Christian, I understood that serving God is my life of faith. Very important part. When I was young, I thought about entering a seminary to prepare for a full-time job. However, my father retired early due to illness. As the eldest son, I had to share the financial responsibility for a family of six, so I entered a government job after graduating from high school. For the next thirty years or so, I had no choice but to actively participate in serving in the church. Although the idea of studying theology seemed to be on the shelf, my determination to serve God full-time was never forgotten. This move often lingers in my heart, and it is very important for me to respond to the Great Commission - Mission. The urge to preach the gospel and save souls is getting stronger and stronger. Why did you take the first step in full-time ministry until today? I firmly believe that God has His timing. ...

On Achieving Our Greatest Aspirations

As Associate Professor of New Testament Tsang Si-han wrote this, I was packing my bags and preparing to move to Hong Kong. Although busy, this period of time is also a good opportunity for me to reflect on life. Because I am about to leave a country I love, a place where I have lived for thirty-six years, and return to the place where I was born. Recently, in preparation for writing my second exegetical book, I have dabbled in many works, including postmodernism, post-structuralism, pragmatism, and critical realism...

We will also examine our weaknesses and pray that through the power of God, we will have the strength and courage to face life and challenges. ...
