India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not belong, to be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
This is the voice of an old dying American in the wilderness who does not seek money or power.

Christians all over the world who want to donate to Israel can do so directly with Israel Consulates or Israel Embassies anywhere.
Willie Wong says, “The conflict of Israel and Palestine can be solved if you are willing to return to the roots of the matter. Palestinians are originally Arabs who infiltrated stealthily into the Promised Land called Palestine under the British colonial rule. Arabs bred like rabbits and called themselves Palestinians. In fact, Palestinians have no part or portion of the Jewish eland. Palestinians have no resettlement right. All Palestinians have to do is to evacuate from Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, all Jewish lands and move to the lands of Arabs and build a Palestinian state of its own. Palestinians should denounce terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Then there will be peace like a river.
The world expands and goes astray with a big lie. Palestinians do not have territories, they illegally occupy the Jewish land in Gaza, West Bank, etc. Palestinians do not want to go to Arab lands to work for an independent state; they would rather occupy the Jewish land to classify as refugees in order to live on international aid for free.
Hamas terrorists are despicable people who hide in schools and hospitals, behind children to get sympathy and protection. Palestinians are despicable Arabs who like to be called refugees in order to live free on international charity, they do not want to go to Arab lands to make a living on their own. As IDF eliminates terrorists Hamas in Gaza and Rafah, so IDF must eliminate terrorists Hezbollah in Lebanon and terrorists Houthis in Yemen without delay. It is strange and illegal that UN, WHO, ICJ, EU and all Arab-Islamic-Black nations recognize and support the terrorists.
Palestinians do not want to go to Arab lands to work hard to build a Palestinian state, they would rather stay at Gaza in the Jewish land to classify as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid.
There is no hope or future for Africa, unless corrupt leaders and politicians are eliminated, stop singing and dancing, stop drinking beer and produce children they cannot afford, rise up and work hard, discipline and responsibility and productivity.
All undeveloped nations are the same. Crooks and criminals practice phony democracy in general elections. Once they are elected and become president, vice president, prime minister, they are able to commit official corruption, debts and deficits, live a luxurious life style, no integrity, no productivity, no accountability, no motivation -- the people sing and dance, get fat and drink beer, have sex and produce a bunch of children they cannot support. The nations remain useless as before.
The UN Chief is obsolete, his old ideas and old ways do not work, and must be replaced. Many UN high-paid officials are good for nothing and must be replaced also. The UN is a useless organization. What it should do, it does not. What it should not do, it does.
In truth, Palestinians have no “legitimate right” in the Promised land. God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. During the British colonial rule, Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into the Promised Land (so-called Palestine) unlawfully. Hamas dared to make first the barbaric attack of Israel. Israel has no option but to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel all Palestinians from the Jewish Land. The territories occupied by Palestinians and Hamas are the Jewish land. It is high time that Israel gets rid of all Palestinians, Hamas, Arabs from the Jewish land. No aid should be given to Palestine or Palestinians. The “legitimate aspirations” of Palestinians are to get out the Jewish Land at once to establish a Palestinian state in Arab land or there will be conflict and no peace. Syria is not wise to provide weapons to Hamas. Israel is surrounded by enemies. A stupid question: Where do Palestinians go? Palestinians are Arabs, Arabs go to the lands of Arabs. After all have been said, it is awakening and eye-opening: Arab countries do not want Palestinian Arabs. Their doors are closed. All Arab nations and peoples in protests support the Palestinians; but most strangely no Arab nation would indeed welcome or take in Palestinians (Arabs). Why should there be any reason for Israel to let Palestinians (Arabs) live in the Jewish land? Arab nations and peoples who protest for Palestinians should indeed take Palestinians in. Palestinians may go to the Red Sea. Watch will their god open the Red Sea so that Palestinians may walk through dry land? The only thing that the US does right is to support Israel to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah, and expel all Palestinians and Arabs from the Jewish land once and for all.

America’s history of interference abroad is well-documented, but did other countries not have a motive too? Other likely suspects could feasibly include Ukraine, but also Russia itself — chaotic, irrational behaviour is not an uncommon characteristic of Putin’s Russia. Besides, was it not a slight stretch of the imagination to claim that the US would order the destruction of a piece of public infrastructure that partly belongs to a NATO ally?
Sachs dismissed these questions as as “absurd” and declared that those who didn’t believe America would act against allies in pursuit of its own interests “don’t really know the US.” He believes that decades of antagonistic relations with Russia culminated in the Nord Stream attack, which American foreign policymakers have long viewed as a threat.
According to Sachs, the America neoconservative view of Russia and the war has now become mainstream. Where Europe’s acquisition of cheap Russian gas was once viewed as ‘trade’, it is now seen as a dependency. That said, the small detail of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have played a part in that.”
The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony, warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.
The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly. AID to such a useless nation would be a big WASTE!!!

We agree with Jeff Melton, “The Ukraine Tragedy: Made in America”, with the collaboration of the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet. The international community has no reason to help Ukraine in anyway.
The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet rejects peace, he wants more money so that his regime can live lavishly on American Taxpayer money of $8.8 billion a month, and more heavy weapons, tanks and foreign troops to prolong the war, so that more thousands of Ukrainians may die, and millions more of refugees and displaced person and global inflation and high cost of living. What nation on earth can have $8.8 billion to spend a month?
America can be GREAT again by doing the following:
1. Revise the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty is vested in the hands of American citizens with majority can determine the leadership and decide the direction and destiny of America.
2. Discard imperialism, capitalism, aggression, warmongering, intervention of other nations by dismissing NATO, QUAD, all military and political alliances.
3. Solve internal problems of economy, finance, infrastructure, corruption, gun violence, inflation and high cost of living, and unemployment.
4. Cease ban, boycott, embargo, high tariff, sanctions on trade against any nation.
5. Return Taiwan to China and end the Ukraine war at once.
6. Embrace Russia, China, and all nations in peace and together to build a better world.
American leaders and politicians are wantonly giving away US taxpayer money that we don’t have and give to useless, corrupt and unworthy countries. Enough is enough. Americans RISE UP to reject committing suicide and futile intervention of other nations. A REVOLUTION is needed to save America from its wrong leaders and politicians and wrong path of destruction.
Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons. Japan will be the second.
According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ
“While it wages a proxy war on Russia in Ukraine, the US-led NATO military alliance plans to encircle China and expand into the Asia-Pacific region, collaborating with Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its cross-hairs set on both Russia and China.
Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.
While it is flooding Ukraine with weapons and training far-right fighters to kill Russians, NATO is simultaneously threatening China, and expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific in hopes of containing Beijing.”

They are free to go to Arab nations. Palestinians and Hamas must withdraw from the Jewish land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants without delay. Any strategy to bargain away the Jewish land is wrong.

The Holy Bible says, Mat 16:16-18, “Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”
This is the Scriptures which the Roman Catholic Church favored and misinterpreted. When Jesus asked His disciples, “But who do you yourselves say that I am?”
Apostle Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” JESUS said to Peter, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona (Peter), because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you.” It is the Father who is is Heaven who revealed to Peter that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. “
Christ in Greek is christos which means the “anointed”; Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God -- which occurs 569 times in the New Testament.
Peter in Greek is petros which means a stone; -- which occurs 162 times in the New Testament.
Rock in Greek is petra which means a large stone; a large mass of stone; -- which occurs 16 times in the New Testament.
Peter was just a stone. Who is the Rock? Christ is the Rock. For the Word of God says, 1Co 10:4,
“and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a Spiritual Rock which followed them; and the Rock was Christ.”
Christ was the Rock, the Rock is Christ. The Roman Catholic Church willfully misinterprets the Scriptures just as false preachers do.
How could Christ builds His Church on a piece of stone who denied Him three times. Surely, Christ builds His Church on Himself who the Rock of ages. That is why the gates of Hell (Hades) will not overpower it.
I. ORGANIZED RELIGION IS NOT
THE CHURCH
I am aware of the following articles:
Losing their religion: why US churches are on the decline
By Adam Gabbatt
The Guardian
Millennials lead shift away from organized religion as pandemic tests Americans’ faith
America’s nonreligious are a growing, diverse phenomenon. They really don’t like organized religion
By Peter Smith
The Associated Press
Some people or some groups of people because they don’t like so-called “organized religion”, and so they have a connected view of Christianity as “organized religion”; and therefore they do not like Christianity.
If organized religion means “a belief system that has large numbers of followers and a set of rules that must be followed” as defined by Merriam Webster.
Christianity has no problem with the definition. It is true, all Christians are followers of Jesus Christ and they follow a set of rule in accordance with the Word of God.
I think “organized religion” has a bad reputation because of somethings else.
According to https://prosvibe.com/pros-and-cons-of-organized-religion/
Comparison Organized Religion of Pros and Cons – The Table
Serial | Pros of Religion | Cons of Religion |
1. | A sense of belonging comes with being part of a church, synagogue, mosque, or temple. Y | Organized religion can be exclusive, judgmental, and even hostile towards people who don’t share the same beliefs. |
2. | Churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples offer counselling services, support groups, and other resources that can help you through tough times. | People who claim to follow certain religious tenets often don’t practice what they preach. This can make it challenging to take faith seriously. |
3. | For many people, religion provides a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives and that their life has a specific purpose. | Religion can sometimes manipulate people into doing things they wouldn’t normally do. |
4. | Most religions encourage their members to serve others in need, whether volunteering at a local soup kitchen or going on mission trips abroad. | Some religious groups teach that it is okay to discriminate against and even hate people who are different from them. |
5. | Many religious organizations have strict rules and guidelines that members are expected to follow. | Organized religion often requires its members to believe certain things to belong. |
6. | For many people, religion gives them a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. | Many religious organizations require their members to tithe (give a certain percentage of their income to the church), or they will be shunned. |
7. | People find comfort in their religion in times of trouble or sorrow. | If you want to be a part of organized religion, you often have to commit a lot of time and energy to it. |
Let us examine the cons of religion in the light of the Holy Bible.
1. “Organized religion can be exclusive, judgmental, and even hostile towards people who don’t share the same beliefs.”
Exclosive: The Bible calls unbelievers as outsiders.
1Co 14:24-25, “But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly
among you.”
Judgmental: Jesus says, Jhn 12:47,
“If anyone hears My teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.”
Hostile: Jesus says, Mat 5:44,
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
Jesus also says, Jhn 6:37,
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”
2. “People who claim to follow certain religious tenets often don’t practice what they preach. This can make it challenging to take faith seriously.”
Jesus says, Mat 7:21,
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.”
Jesus also says, Luk 6:46,
“Now why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?”
If you want to follow Jesus, do not look at false brothers and false preachers.
3. “Religion can sometimes manipulate people into doing things they wouldn’t normally do.”
Jesus says, Jhn 7:17,
“If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God, or I am speaking from Myself.”
Do not let other manipulate you.
4. “Some religious groups teach that it is okay to discriminate against and even hate people who are different from them.”
Jesus says, Mat 5:43-44,
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
5. “Organized religion often requires its members to believe certain things to belong.”
The Bible says, 1Co 15:3-4, “For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
In addition that you as a Christian must believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God; you also must believe Jesus Christ died for our sins, buried, and that He was on the third day raised from the dead by the power of God according to the Scriptures. If you do not believe this, no church or religion can make you a Christian. I do not know what “certain things” that they object to. The Holy Scripture also says, 2Co 13:5,
“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?”
Not only Christians believe in the Faith, we must also:
Jde 1:3, “Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the Faith that was once for all time
handed down to the saints.”
6. “Many religious organizations require their members to tithe (give a certain percentage of their income to the church), or they will be shunned.”
Tithing (10%) was required of the Old Testament saints. The New Testament does not require Christians to tithe. The pastor and elders must be greedy to demand tithing for every member of his church.
7. “If you want to be a part of organized religion, you often have to commit a lot of time and energy to it.”
For Christians, we live for Christ.
Phl 3:8, “More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ.”
Once upon a time, there was an organized religion in America who was the headquarters of prosperity gospel, who practiced all means to raise money -- the Crystal Cathedral was bankrupt and sold to the Roman Catholic Church, the ministry of its founder was discredited.
There are two types of churches, the Body of Christ and the local churches. You may be a member of a local church but not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. Once I met a man who claimed his church is the only church in Los Angeles. Over the years I even encountered the Synagogue of Satan and not knowing it. There are churches that belong to the Synagogue of Satan; it took years for me to find out. Not every church which labels itself the Christian church is the Christian church. All churches that belong to the so-called organized religion are not the Church of Christ. If fact, if you a true Christian, you should get out of such a church.
II. WHAT IS THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
Church - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Church
* For CHURCH See ASSEMBLY and CONGREGATION
Assembly - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Assembly
[ 1,,G1577, ekklesia ]
from ek, out of," and klesis, "a calling" (kaleo, "to call"), was used among the Greeks of a body of citizens "gathered" to discuss the affairs of state, Acts 19:39. In the Sept. it is used to designate the "gathering" of Israel, summoned for any definite purpose, or a "gathering" regarded as representative of the whole nation. In Acts 7:38 it is used of Israel; in Acts 19:32, Acts 19:41, of a riotous mob. It has two applications to companies of Christians,
(a) to the whole company of the redeemed throughout the present era, the company of which Christ said, "I will build My Church," Matthew 16:18, and which is further described as "the Church which is His Body," Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 5:23,
(b) in the singular number (e.g., Matthew 18:17, RV marg., "congregation"), to a company consisting of professed believers, e.g., Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 1:2; Galatians 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:5, and in the plural, with reference to churches in a district.
There is an apparent exception in the RV of Acts 9:31, where, while the AV has "churches," the singular seems to point to a district; but the reference is clearly to the church as it was in Jerusalem, from which it had just been scattered, Acts 8:1. Again, in Romans 16:23, that Gaius was the host of "the whole church," simply suggests that the "assembly" in Corinth had been accustomed to meet in his house, where also Paul was entertained. See CHURCH.
[ 2,,G3831, paneguris ]
from pan, "all," and agora, "any kind of assembly," denoted, among the Greeks, an assembly of the people in contrast to the council of national leaders, or a "gathering" of the people in honor of a god, or for some public festival, such as the Olympic games. The word is used in Hebrews 12:23, coupled with the word "church," as applied to all believers who form the body of Christ.
[ 3,,G4128, plethos ]
"a multitude, the whole number," is translated "assembly" in Acts 23:7, RV. See BUNDLE, COMPANY, MULTITUDE.
Note: For sunagoge, See ASSEMBLE, Note
(2). According to International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
https://www.studylight.org/encyclopedias/eng/isb/c/church.html
“The word "church," which is derived from κυριακός , kuriakós , "of or belonging to the Lord," represents in the English Versions of the Bible of the New Testament the Greek word ἐκκλησία , ekklēsı́a ; Latin, ecclesia . It is with the signification of this word ekklēsia as it meets us in the New Testament, and with the nature of the society which the word is there used to describe, that the present article is concerned.”
“II. Its Adoption by Jesus
According to Matthew 16:18 the name ekklēsia was first applied to the Christian society by Jesus Himself, the occasion being that of His benediction of Peter at Caesarea Philippi. The authenticity of the utterance has been called in question by certain critics, but on grounds that have no textual support and are made up of quite arbitrary presuppositions as to the composition of the First Gospel. It is true that Jesus had hitherto described the society He came to found as the "kingdom of God" or the "kingdom of heaven," a designation which had its roots in Old Testament teaching and which the Messianic expectations of Israel had already made familiar. But now when it was clear that He was to be rejected by the Jewish people (compare Matthew 16:21 ), and that His society must move on independent lines of its own, it was natural that He should employ a new name for this new body which He was about to create, and Thus should say to Peter, on the ground of the apostle's believing confession, "Upon this rock I will build my church." The adoption of this name, however, did not imply any abandonment of the ideas suggested by the conception of the kingdom. In this very passage (Matthew 16:19 ) "the kingdom of heaven" is employed in a manner which, if it does not make the two expressions church and kingdom perfectly synonymous, at least compels us to regard them as closely correlative and as capable of translation into each other's terms. And the comparative disuse by the apostolic writers of the name "kingdom," together with their emphasis on the church, so far from showing that Christ's disciples had failed to understand His doctrine of the kingdom, and had substituted for it the more formal notion of the church, only shows that they had followed their Master's guidance in substituting for a name and a conception that were peculiarly Jewish, another name whose associations would enable them to commend their message more readily to the world at large.”According to Titles and Names of the Church

N.B. Lest there may be any confusion or misunderstanding, I want you to know that I believe the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, Rev. Chapter 21, Verse 1-27 is literally the place the Lord Jesus has prepared for His followers for eternity.
By the same token, if you know the Church is Assembly of the saints -- that gives you one correct idea of the Church of Jesus Christ, not organized religion as some describe.
T.S. Eliot said, “The True Church can never fail. For it is based upon a rock.”
Billy Sunday said, “Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.”
Tertullian said, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.”
Aiden Wilson Tozer said, “One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.”
When I visited Europe, it gave me a feeling that churches there are dead.
Once I asked a student nurse of a Lutheran Hospital if she is a Christian or a Lutheran. She answered, A Lutheran. If Luther were alive together, he would be furious that people identified themselves as Lutherans and not Christians, because Luther never founded a church after his name. Although most Scandinavians are Lutherans.
C. S. Lewis said, “I believe that there are too many practitioners in the church, who are not believers.”
It is a funny thing in America that many White people believe they are Christians because they were born White. It is also a funny thing in China, some women wear cross necklaces although they are not Christians, they think they were just fine ornaments.
Oswald Chambers said, “The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.”
Once friends took me to attend a Taiwanese church for Christmas celebration. It was a secret society that their women wore peculiar costumes with a little hat on their heads, and they could not even disclose the name of their leader.
Some unbeliever said, “Nearly 60% of Americans who regularly attend Christian church say there is no such thing as the Holy Spirit—they say the Holy Spirit is just a symbol of God’s power or presence or purity.”
A person who is devoid of the Holy Spirit is not a Christian.
Jesus says, Jhn 14:26, “But the Helper, the Holy
Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you.”
The Holy Spirit is not just a symbol, He is the third Person of the HOLY TRINITY.
Jesus also says, Luk 12:10, “And everyone who
speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but the one who blasphemes against
the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.”
Many pastors and preachers do not say what Charles Spurgeon said.
Organized religion will say to you, Something good is going to happen to you today.
Charles Spurgeon understood the mission of the Church which occupational preachers do not.
What is worst, a South African white missionary told me that the Blacks in Africa are like the Canaanites that should be killed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer knew something that organized religion does not know.
A black preacher said, “The white Christian church never raised to the heights of Christ. It stayed within the limit of culture.”
The black Christian church that protected its famous preacher, an immoral man certified by FBI is worse. The true Christians are God’s holy nation, Heavenly citizens without race, like angels.
Charles Spurgeon said, “It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian Church have had a decided tendency to dishonor God and to flatter man.”
III. CHRIST THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH
I have much respect for R. A. Torrey as a Bible scholar.

R. A. Torrey had Ten Reasons Why he Believed the Bible is the Word of God:
FIRST, on the ground of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
SECOND, on the ground of its fulfilled prophecies.
THIRD, on the ground of the unity of the book.
FOURTH, on the ground of the immeasurable superiority of the teachings of the Bible to those of any other and all other books.
FIFTH, on the ground of the history of the book, its victory over attack.
SIXTH, on the ground of the character of those who accept and of those who reject the book.
SEVENTH, on the ground of the influence of the book.

ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.”
IV. MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Years ago, I happened to attend a Chinese church, sadly the pastor proudly announced that he just got back from Denmark after learning social work. Apparently, the pastor did not know preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a social work. The mission of the Church of Jesus Christ is not doing the social work. Fortunately, I had been to Europe and I know the situation of European churches. The big church like Westminster Abbey is a place where kings and queens and famous people were buried, dead and very dead -- not Church of Living God.
The social work of organized religion is not the mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
In the early church at Jerusalem, something significant happened. At the Pentecost, the apostles were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. And Peter said, Act 2:36-43, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on urging them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!” So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and
miracles were taking place through the apostles.”
This is the Church of the Living God.
The early Christ received the power of the Holy Spirit and the Apostles were clear of their mission:
Act 6:1-4, “Now at this time, as the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint developed on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native
Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food. So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the Word of God in order to serve tables.
Instead, brothers and sisters, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”
In passing, from the Scriptures cited above, the Church is also called, “congregation of the disciples.” The Apostles were clear from the start of their mission. They said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the Word of God in order to serve tables.” It is wrong for ministers to do the social work and neglect the Word of God. It is wrong for pastor to do social work to neglect the Word of God. Preachers and pastors must devote themselves to prayers and to the ministry of the Word. Occupational pastors and preachers cannot do that. False preachers cannot do that. It was reported some couple (husband and wive) preachers amass hundreds of millions of dollars in America. They do not engage in the ministry of the Word of God, they engage in making big money through ministry. They may belong to organized religion, they do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ.
Let us take up the subject of mission and use Scriptural anecdotes as illustrations.
Gen 24:40, “He responded, ‘The LORD, in whose presence I have lived, will send His angel with you and will make your mission successful. Yes, you must find a wife for my son from among my relatives, from my father's family.”
Gen 24:42, “So today when I came to the spring, I prayed this prayer: ‘O LORD, God of my master, Abraham, please give me success on this mission.”
Abraham sent his old servant to find a wife for his son, God blessed them with success on this mission. Mission means undertaking.
Luk 13:32-33, “He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission. Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.”
Mission means accomplishment. Jesus finished what the Father sent Him to do.
Jhn 19:28-30, “Jesus knew that His mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to His lips. When Jesus had tasted it, He said, “It is finished!” Then He bowed His head and released His spirit.”
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, it was mission accomplished.
Act 9:3-7, “As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked.
And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one!”
Saul was on a mission to arrest and persecute Christians. Since he saw the light, he was changed and given another mission.
Act 13:25, “Now as John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But one is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on His feet.'
John the Baptist was on a mission to prepare the road for Christ. He complete his mission by declaring to the world, Jhn 1:29, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God
who takes away the sin of the world!”
Gal 2:8-9, “(for He who worked through Peter for the mission to the circumcised worked through me also for the Gentiles), and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.”
The mission was clear that Peter for the mission to the Jews, and Paul to the Gentiles.
According to https://www.gotquestions.org/mission-of-the-church.html
“The church is a creation of God (Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 3:9, 17; 15:9), founded and owned by Jesus Christ—“I will build My church” (Matthew 16:18)—and directed and energized by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 10:17; 12:5–27; Romans 12:4–5). Therefore, it is the church’s joy to look to God to explain His design for the church and His mission for it. God’s mission for the church proves to have several parts.
1. The mission of the church is to make disciples. Just before Jesus returned to heaven, He commissioned His disciples this way: “Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20a, ISV). A disciple is a follower, someone who attaches himself to his leader. Therefore, we reason, Jesus sent the church on its mission to acquaint people in every place with Himself. As the church makes disciples, people can admire, worship, trust, follow, and obey Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The church’s members, having become enamored of Jesus Christ, assemble around Him as Master, Leader, Savior, and Friend. Our joyful mission is to put Him on display to every nation.
2. The mission of the church is to glorify Christ. Paul wrote, “In Christ we were also chosen … in order that we … might be for the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:11–12). Part of God’s purpose for the church is to exalt Jesus Christ by the way that the church lives and by what it does. Christ designed His church to represent His supernatural, life-saving work to the world. In His church, Christ shows to the world what a freed and forgiven people can be—people who are satisfied with God as the result of Christ’s joyful, triumphant self-sacrifice. He has planned the church’s values to be His values. He expects its lifestyle to reflect His character (2 Corinthians 6:14—7:1; Ephesians 5:23–32; Colossians 1:13, 18; 1 Timothy 3:15). As the moon reflects the sun, so the church is to reflect the glory of God to a dark world.
3. The mission of the church is to build up the saints. The church is to encourage and comfort its individual members (1 Thessalonians 5:11; 2 Corinthians 13:11). “There should be no division in the body, but . . . its parts should have equal concern for each other” (1 Corinthians 12:25). Jesus is the chief cornerstone, and the church is likened to a building “joined together and [rising] to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit” (Ephesians 2:19–22; see also 4:4–25). Jesus Christ designed His Church to showcase God’s family on earth, so that the pagan world can see how God builds His family around Jesus Christ and how that family cares for one another (see Mark 3:35 and John 13:35).
The mission of the church is to know and love Christ so supremely as to represent Him and His values accurately and vividly to the world and serve people’s deepest needs in the way Christ Himself would meet them. As W. C. Robinson says in Baker’s Dictionary of Theology, “Our Lord Jesus Christ is the sun about which the whole mission of the church revolves. Public worship is the encounter of the risen Redeemer with His people; evangelism is calling men to the Savior; publishing the law of God is proclaiming His lordship; Christian nurture is feeding His lambs and disciplining His flock; ministering to the needs of men is continuing the work of the Great Physician.” The church’s mission is to present Jesus Christ to the world, while He presents to the same world His rescuing work in and through His church.”
You may know, in organized religion some famous preachers or mega church pastors make disciples for themselves, not disciples of Jesus Christ.
Act 9:31, “So the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.”
The Scripture cited provides the secret of growth:
1) . Enjoying peace
2) . Building up the Church
3) . Continue in the fear of the Lord
4) . In the comfort of the Holy Spirit
According to https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/essay/the-mission-of-the-church/
“The mission of the church is the task given by God for the people of God to accomplish in the world. In simplest terms, the mission of the church is the Great Commission—what Philip Ryken calls “a clear, unambiguous statement of [the church’s] mission to the world.”1 Our task as the gathered body of Christ is to make disciples, by bearing witness to Jesus Christ the Son in the power of the Holy Spirit to glory of God the Father.2”
I have no problem with the definition of the mission of the Church cited above.
If a man wants to be a social worker, he can -- who is stopping him. But a preacher is not a social worker, a social worker is not a preacher. There is no confusion about that.
According to https://online.maryville.edu/online-bachelors-degrees/social-work/resources/what-is-social-work/#what-is
What Is Social Work?
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) describes social work as “a helping profession.” The mission of social work is to “enhance human well-being and help meet basic and complex needs of all people,” especially the poor, oppressed, and most vulnerable.
Social work encompasses many duties, such as assessing the physical and mental health of clients, providing child protective services, ensuring the safety and well-being of people in need, and supporting victims of abuse and neglect. However, understanding what social work is requires examining how the career reflects society.
In times of upheaval in society, the definition of social work and its foundational underpinnings remain in flux. The systems theory in social work is based on the belief that people have “a desire for equilibrium and maintenance of the social and economic status quo,” according to researchers at the University of Essex.
The theory of macro social work reflects social workers’ concern for addressing discrimination, oppression, human rights violations, and other societal problems that impact individuals, groups, and communities, as described in “Levels of Intervention in Social Work Practice.”
Social work has practical and theoretical components, yet the two are inextricable. An ethos of equality and diversity is embedded in social work theory and practice, as the UK-based social worker site Community Care explains. Yet social work is subject to unconscious bias that could mark certain “dominant ideas and discourses as ‘the truth.’” This hinders both theoretical research in social work and the practical application of the research results.
Empowerment-based perspectives in social work theory and practice broaden both the study and application of multicultural social work. The purpose of social work education is to prepare the next generation of social workers. Since they will be living in an increasingly multicultural world, their education must likewise reflect a multicultural theory of social work.”
Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not social work. In organized religion, social work may be a part of the church. But social work is not the mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
It seems clear that charity is a part of social work. But charity is not the mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Charity is supposed of making donations to the poor. In America a so-called charity organization can take in $100 and give out $1 and still be called a charity organization. That is why there are many organizations who claim to be Christian and ask for donations. There are also many secular organizations who ask for donations today.
In early Church, Christians only gave charity to poor Christians, such as Paul was on a relief mission to poor saints in Jerusalem. Act 12:25, “After they had completed their relief mission, Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, taking along John who was called Mark.” Rom 15:26, “For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.”
But I want to assure you, giving to charity and charity work is not the mission of the Church. Preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a charity work and is not doing charity.
William Carey said, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.”
Do you know what are great things? Saving souls are great things.
Jesus says, Luk 15:10, “In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Hudson Taylor said, “The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.”
For those who may not know what is the Great Commission: Mat 28:19-20, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the world.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then... find the way.”
Hudson Taylor said, “God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him.”
Hudson Taylor also said, “God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.”
Because my father was a pastor-missionary, we have many preachers, missionaries, and heads of mission who visited our home. For that reason I had known many preachers and missionaries. Frankly, I have known many preachers who were beggars. Those who work for organized religion are beggars.
According to https://www.gotquestions.org/George-Mueller.html
“George Mueller (1805—1898), whose full name was Johann George Ferdinand Mueller, was a preacher, evangelist, and prominent member of the Plymouth Brethren Church. He is best remembered for his work of starting and directing a large orphanage in England.
Born in what was then known as Prussia (modern-day Germany), Mueller lived out his early years in thievery and dishonesty. In 1825, while attending divinity school at the University of Halle, he went to a prayer meeting at the house of a friend, realized his sinful condition, and placed his faith in Jesus (see Romans 3:22–24). According to Mueller’s own testimony in his 1855 book, A Narrative of Some of the Lord’s Dealing with George Muller, “I understood something of the reason why the Lord Jesus died on the cross, and suffered such agonies in the Garden of Gethsemane: even that thus, bearing the punishment due to us, we might not have to bear it ourselves” (p. 13). Once he became a follower of Christ, Mueller found that he no longer wanted to live in sin, and he forsook his old ways of living.
In 1830 Mueller became a preacher in Teignmouth, England. There he became associated with the Plymouth Brethren. Following the distinct teachings of the Plymouth Brethren, Mueller did not accept a salary for his preaching, but rather lived off voluntary offerings. Also, George Mueller ended the popular method of collecting money through pew rentals in the church he served. Such rents were seen by Mueller as discriminatory toward the poor.
Early in his ministry, George Mueller aimed to assist missionaries and Sunday school programs in various churches. He also distributed Bibles and gospel tracts. It’s estimated that Mueller gave away more than 250,000 Bibles in his lifetime.
Mueller, alongside his first wife, Mary, began caring for orphans in Bristol in 1832. Orphans during this time experienced terrible hardship and poor living conditions. Often, they were sent to workhouses or factories, which had harmful working environments. Scripture repeatedly commands Christians to care for orphans (Psalm 146:9; Isaiah 1:17; James 1:27), and George Mueller and his wife obeyed those commands, caring for orphans in their own home until they exceeded their housing capacity and received complaints from neighbors. Mueller knew they would need a larger building and so, over the course of time, built five houses in the Ashley Down area of Bristol. Throughout its history, the Ashley Down Orphanage helped to care for around 18,000 children.
All funding for the building of the houses and caring for the orphans came from freewill offerings for which Mueller prayed. He never asked people for money nor canvassed believers for donations. Mueller trusted that God would provide him with what he needed, and God did (see Matthew 6:25–33).
One of the most well-known stories of Mueller’s faith involves the time when he trusted God to provide the orphans with breakfast one morning. Nothing was available for the children to eat, but Mueller and the children prayed. Soon after, a nearby baker brought bread to the orphans, stating how God had laid a burden upon his heart to bring fresh bread. A little time after, the milkman arrived, asking if the orphans could use fresh milk, since his truck had broken down. God had provided the orphans with breakfast.
Mary died in 1870. A year later, George Mueller married again, and in 1875 he and his second wife, Susannah, embarked on a 17-year missionary tour, in which he spoke evangelistically about his trust in the Lord to provide. The couple traveled extensively, visiting a total of 42 countries including cities in Europe, India, China, and Australia. In America, Mueller met President Hayes in the White House. George Mueller died in Bristol in 1898 at the age of 92.
George Mueller’s life demonstrated the truth of James 5:16: “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Truly, this Prussian preacher had a rich prayer life that stemmed from his strong faith in Jesus Christ. And the Lord showed Himself to be faithful.”
I had known about the stories of George Muller. Too bad I had never met George Muller in person because of his age and geography. Frankly, I never met a preacher like George Muller although I have known a great number of preachers in the world. Long ago I had decided to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free, and we do not want donation. This was not influenced by George Muller.
I have known many missions, I do not know anyone that does ask for donation. For that reason I do not recommend any mission.
V. THE MINISTRY OF A PREACHER
Act 6:4, “But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”
Ministry in Greek is diakonia which means service; ministering; to promote the cause of Christ; endowed by God to preach the Gospel; -- which occurs 34 times in the New Testament.
Devote in Greek is proskartereō to continue steadfastly; to give oneself continuously; to continue all the time in a place; to be earnest towards; to give constant attention to a thing; serve or wait on constantly; to sincerely and seriously commit; -- occurs 10 times in the New Testament.
Act 20:24, “But I do not consider my life of any
account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the Gospel of God's grace.”
A person does not become a preacher because he wants it or somebody ordains him, he has to receive from the Lord Jesus. Most preachers I know I do not believe their ministry received from the Lord Jesus. A preacher is to testify solemnly of the Gospel of God’s grace, not social work or charity work.
Act 21:19, “After he had greeted them, he began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through His ministry.”
Once I encountered a couple of white missionaries from America, later I found out their church members are people who wanted them to buy things for them from America. The ministry of a servant of Christ has to do with the things of God, not the things of the world.
Rom 11:13, “But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Therefore insofar as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry.”
Just as Peter was an apostle of the Jews, Paul was an apostle of Gentiles.
1Co 16:15, “Now I urge you, brothers and sisters:
you know the household of Stephanas, that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted
themselves to ministry to the saints.”
The household of Stephanas have devoted themselves to the service of God’s household, the saints by providing for their needs.
2Co 5:18, “Now all these things are from God, who
reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”
The ministry of the Word is the ministry of reconciliation. Through the Word of truth, the Gospel, sinners are reconciled to God in Jesus Christ.
2Co 5:20, “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”
The servants of Jesus Christ are ambassadors of Christ, making appeal to sinners on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
2Co 3:9, “For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness excel in glory.”
Moses engaged in the ministry of condemnation - the Law. Grace and truth came from Jesus Christ, in the ministry of righteousness. There is more gory in the Gospel than the Mosaic Law. Servants of Jesus Christ engage in the ministry of righteousness to proclaim all who come to Jesus Christ receive the righteousness of God, justified by grace and through faith.
2Co 9:1, “For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints.”
The servants of Jesus Christ engage in the ministry of righteousness, Christians can engage in the ministry to the saints to aid the poor in the household of God, fully supplying the needs of the saints.
2Co 9:13, “Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your
obedience to your confession of the Gospel of
Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all.”
The proof of any ministry includes:
1) . Believers glorify God by obedience
2) . Believers confess the Gospel of Christ
3) . Believers contribute liberally to the cause of Christ
Eph 4:12, “for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the Body of Christ.”
The work of ministry always for the equipping of the saints and for the building up of the Body of Christ which is the Church. Those who think social work is the ministry do not know the Lord. Any ministry that does harm to the Body of Christ is Satanic.
2Ti 4:5, “But as for you, use self-restraint in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
The servants of Christ use self-restraint in all things, endure hardship (preachers who enjoy luxury are not servants of Christ), do the work of an evangelist, fulfil their ministry. The ministry must be winning souls for Christ. I often wonder why those men use the ministry to get rich in material things?
Jesus Christ, or the Bible, never commands His servants or disciples to change the world or to save the world. Jesus commands all believers to preach the Gospel and save souls. Social work or charity is never a part of the ministry.
The Son of God came down from Heaven to the earth not to enjoy, but to suffer. Jesus says, Mat 8:20,
Jesus said to him,
“The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have
nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
I recall the head of a mission whom my father was associated, whenever he came he insisted to have my mother cooked for him. For my mother was as good as a Five Star Chef. The man chewed chicken for juice only and spat out the meat. We were so poor for months we did not have chicken at all. The man used all the mission money he collected to educate all his children in America with master’s degrees. He did not give one penny for the education of the children of missionaries who worked with him.
The following are the Scriptures that Paul said farewell to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church with Paul’s exhortations:
Act 20:28-35, “Be on guard for yourselves and for all the Flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the Church of God which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the Flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking
perverse things to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore, be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears. And now I entrust you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothes. You yourselves know that these hands
served my own needs and the men who were with me. In everything
I showed you that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the Words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
The Scriptures cited above are full of important truths:
1) . The servants of Christ must be on guard for themselves and for the Flock.
2) . The Holy Spirit has made the servants of Christ overseers, to shepherd the Church of God.
3) . Christ purchased the Church with His own blood.
4) . Savage wolves will come in among believers, and those who say the Church of God is organized religion are savage wolves who attack the Flock.
5) . False preachers will arise and speak perverse things (false doctrines) and draw away believers after them.
6) . Be on guard is to be on the alert.
7) . Good servants of Christ like Paul do not cease to admonish each one with sincerity.
8) . We can trust God and the Word of His grace which is able to build up the Church.
9) . Christians have the inheritance, and they are among those who are sanctified.
10). Preachers who are not greedy like Paul are rare today.
11). Paul was self-supporting, to preach the Gospel by example of working hard. Although I know a great number of preachers, I have never met a preacher like the Apostle Paul who could say, I have coveted no one’s silver or gold. Another test is when a minister dies, see how much money he has amassed.
12). The most precious things to remember are the Words of Jesus Christ.
13). “It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
In America, in particular everyone wants to get something -- a most materialistic society. We must remember the Words of Jesus, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
VI. PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS
I was fortunate to know two persons whom I consider the true servants of Christ. One was a White man Dr. J. Arthur Mouw. The other was a Chinese preacher called Wang Ming Dao. The two represented the true Church of Jesus Christ, they had nothing to do with so-called organized religion.
Dr. J. Arthur Mouw was the famous missionary to West Borneo (West Kalimantan, Indonesia), a pioneer of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, whose ministry among the Dayak tribe was most amazing. He was the most interesting preacher I have ever known. I had the joy and privilege of knowing the great missionary and his wife. When I was chairman of the Foreign Missionary Fellowship of Biola School of Missionary Medicine, I had the honor and pleasure to introduce him to the class as the greatest missionary to Borneo. Dr. Mouw was a personal friend of mine, in the darkest hour of my life, he was God’s instrument in helping me many ways (not financially). Dr. Mouw was a man of God who did not have money.
Although I do not have personal knowledge of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, I was happy with the writings of A. B. Simpson and A. W. Tozer.
According to Biola University Digital Commons @ Biola
“Arthur Mouw, who formerly was a student at the Bible Institute
of Los Angeles, has labored in Borneo with his devoted wife for nearly twenty years under the Christian and Missionary Alliance.”
Although I do not have personal knowledge of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, I am happy with the writings of A. B. Simpson and A. W. Tozer.
The following article gives you some information about Dayak people who used to be headhunting. This may give you some idea how difficult Dr. & Mrs. Mouw lived some 20 years in that environment.
According to https://www.britannica.com/topic/Dayak
“Dayak
people
Also known as: Dajak, Dyak
Written and fact-checked by
The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
Last Updated: Article History
Dutch: Dajak
Dayak, also spelled Dyak, Dutch Dajak, the non-Muslim indigenous peoples of the island of Borneo, most of whom traditionally lived along the banks of the larger rivers. Their languages all belong to the Indonesian branch of the Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) language family. Dayak is a generic term that has no precise ethnic or tribal significance. Especially in Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan), it is applied to any of the (non-Muslim) indigenous peoples of the interior of the island (as opposed to the largely Malay population of the coastal areas). In Malaysian Borneo (Sarawak and Sabah), it is used somewhat less extensively and is often understood locally to refer specifically to Iban (formerly called Sea Dayak) and Bidayuh (formerly called Land Dayak) peoples. At the turn of the 21st century the Dayak population of Borneo could be estimated roughly at 2.2 million.
Although lines of demarcation are often difficult to establish, the most prominent of the numerous Dayak subgroups are the Kayan (in Kalimantan usually called Bahau) and Kenyah, primarily of southeastern Sarawak and eastern Kalimantan; the Ngaju of central and southern Kalimantan; the Bidayuh of southwestern Sarawak and western Kalimantan; and the Iban of Sarawak.
In the past, the highly developed and complex religious practices of the Dayak peoples involved numerous local spirits and omen animals. Intertribal warfare was common, with headhunting a major feature. Since the mid-20th century, however, Dayak peoples have steadily adopted Anglicanism, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism; by the early 21st century the vast majority of the population was Christian.
Historically, these riverine peoples lived mostly in longhouse communities, seldom with more than a few hundred members, and traced their descent through both the male and female lines. The family was the basic unit, and children remained with their parents until married. Despite the lack of unity between groups closely related in language, custom, and marriage, a boy often sought his bride outside his own village and went to live in her community. In contemporary society, however, many young Dayak men and women leave home before they are married, often to study or work in urban areas; many also pursue rural employment, usually at timber camps or on oil palm plantations.
Among the Iban and Bidayuh, there have never been any formal class distinctions. The Kayan and Kenyah, by contrast, traditionally recognized three main strata of society—the upper stratum consisting of the family and near relatives of the village chiefs, the middle consisting of common villagers, and the lower comprising captives of war and other persons looked down upon for various reasons. While still recognized by many older villagers today, class distinctions have lost much of their meaning for the younger generation.
Most Dayak village economies are based on the shifting cultivation of hill rice for subsistence (as opposed to sale). Fishing and hunting are subsidiary activities. Traditional iron tools, such as machetes and spears, are still important, although blowpipes are most significant as cultural artifacts in the 21st century.”
Recently I browsed the Internet to look up the name of Dr. Mouw. I was appalled to find out how wicked people use the name and fame of Dr. Arthur Mouw to make money. By bing.com/images, it presented a false image of Dr. Mouw. They are selling all kinds of goods in the name and fame of Dr. Mouw, by https://global.bing.com/shop? It is outrageous for
https://divinerevelations.com.ng/dr-arthur-mouw-tribal-conversions-in-borneo/ to promote
DR. ARTHUR MOUW | TRIBAL CONVERSIONS
DR. ARTHUR MOUW | TRIBAL CONVERSIONS IN … As far as I know, Dr. Arthur Mouw had never been to Africa, he did not have any ministry or connection to Africa.
My last memory of Dr. & Mrs. Mouw was I driving to their home (they were too old to drive then) and picked them up and brought them to a nearby Chinese Restaurant in Glendale. They loved Chinese food. I wished I had done more often although we lived far apart. It was something that Dr. & Mrs. Mouw could live in primitive society in West Borneo for nearly
twenty years under the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
According to https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/wang-ming-dao-faithful-political-coercion/
Wang Ming-Dao (1900–1991): Faithful amid Political Coercion
AUGUST 3, 2018 | JOHN GILL
“All people suffer through various hardships, and Christians aren’t exempt. While Christians might wonder why they suffer, they must continue to “trust in the Lord without the slightest shadow of doubt, uneasiness or fear.”
This exhortation for Christians to suffer well was written in the mid-1900s by a Chinese pastor named Wang Ming-Dao. He was no stranger to suffering, and the most significant hardship he faced was government-led religious persecution. As a pastor who encouraged Christians to suffer well, one might presume that Wang remained faithful in the midst of persecution. But he did not. At one point, he abdicated. His compromise was public and even noticed by Christians outside China.
In the aftermath of his unfaithfulness, Wang found restoration in Christ, and by God’s grace his failure proved to be no barrier to later effectiveness in ministry. Wang shows us that even when we cave to pressure and are unfaithful, God can still faithfully use weak men for his glory.”
My encounter with Wang Ming Dao was like a miracle. I was sent by McDonnell Douglas Corporation (the best corporation I had ever worked for) to Shanghai on a business mission. Because I could speak Mandarin, some young Chinese woman (who was a silent Christian then) asked me if I want to meet with Wang Ming Dao. Of course. She and her father came to my hotel and we went to Wang Ming Dao’s home church. This happened on my birthday, the best gift from my Heavenly Father. It was my first and last meeting with Pastor Wang. He was practically blind. Although I am not a medical doctor, judging from his cough I thought he either had asthma or TB. I heard him the first time, he was speaking about his persecution and sufferings in the prison for some years. He was the first Chinese preacher who suffered persecution and imprisonment. He was remarkable since he was almost blind he recited the Scriptures by memory. After the sermon, in front of his young assistant I told him I gave him 300 Chinese foreign exchange currency which was much more than RMB and asked for his autograph. Wang Ming Dao gave me a copy of his little book with signature which I treasure to this day. Just a cursory examination of his writings I understood his Bible knowledge was elementary, he was handicapped because he could not read English. Had he known the English language, he would have access to many reference books, and many translations and versions of the English Bible. Above all, he would access Strong’s Concordance to ascertain the true meanings of original words in Hebrew and Greek.
When he died some Chinese preachers had a memorial service for Wang Ming Dao in Los Angeles. They treated him like a holy man of God, although most of Chinese preachers there may not have ever met him in person. I was glad even with his rudimentary knowledge of the Bible, Wang Ming Dao preached the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and sound in the Faith. I admired him because of his great sufferings for Jesus Christ. He was certainly not rich.
J. Arthur Mouw, a white preacher; and Wang Ming Dao, a Chinese preacher -- both are good and true servants of Jesus Christ. I believe when Jesus met them the first time, Mat 25:21, “His Master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your Master.”
True Christianity is not what unbelievers wrote about organized religion. I hope those who are fooled may know the truth in Jesus Christ.
Do you want to have a share in the Kingdom of Heaven of perfection? You may, if you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
You can do it now.

They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!

If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
I agree with Arnold J. Toynbee who said, “ Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
1. America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
2. America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
3. America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
4. America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
5. America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
6. America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
7. America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
8. America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
9. America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
10. IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
11. America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
12. It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish land and relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour -- then China is free indeed -- no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
1. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization. The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to prevent flooding is to dredge all rivers, lakes canals and waterways to absorb and accommodate flood waters to make rivers, lakes, canals and waterways deeper and clear all dictches from debris so that flood water may freely flow to rivers, lakes, canals and waterways.
2. China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
3. China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
4. China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
5. China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news, counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
6. China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
7. Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
8. China's troops should never be sent under UN's peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars --to die for nothing.
9. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
10. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
11. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
