The other day Qiulin added some great bible study resources. This morning I just randomly clicked the link of Chinasoul! It's a great one! I highly recommend everyone to take a look! One of the literature is try to explain that Lao-Tzu was actually a prophet indicating Jesus' coming and God's existance.I didn't know much about Taoism , but people who're interested could definitely do some research. BTW, the videos have both Chinese and English transcript, which helps all of us could learn more about Chinese tranditional wisdom and Bible!
I have been asked many times that China has over 5000 year history and brillient philosophy, why do you believe in Bible which consists of simple and seeming self-contraditory fairy tales. For me, yes, when I first read bible in teenage, I doubted if all westerners were idiots-- how come they believe such an obvious lie that father and son is the same person. But as I read into it right now, I feel Bible is really profound that I don't think I'll total understand and master it even when I die.
When the Chinese government engaged in advocating the confucianism in order to recover the corrupted social morality, I doubted whether it would work because despite Confucius had a great theory and proposed some moral standards,he is at all a normal human-being, everybody does not necessarily have to follow his theory of how to live a life. Nowaday people are too proud to listen to others' words. Only God's words may change us. Whenever I read the testimony about how God changed our lives and behaviors, I'm so touched because I know they're real.

Interesting information. When it all comes down to it, at some time in every person's life, we question our purpose and seek to know the meaning of our life. So what is it? Fame, fortune or both? Finding the right job or spouse? Having children? Living for years thinking it might be all those things or just living a good life I found something missing. Now I believe it is not things or feelings which change daily, but God who loves us.
