When men know they cannot hope in a country, in a political belief, or in themselves, they become free to hope in God.

Never forget Yesu is King. Never forget your home is in another world. Never forget your father will be waiting to see you again.

My father, Li Tong, used to say, βChurch leader who does not believe in God is like barefoot shoe salesman.β We call our bureau leader the Caiaphas of China.β βWhat does that mean?β βYou remember Caiaphas from the Bible?β βNo.β βDid someone take your Bible from you?β βNo. Itβs on my shelf. Remember? Iβve got three of them.β βPerhaps Ben Fielding should give two away and then start reading the other one.

And do you think your refusal to believe will convince God to change his nature? He is who he is no matter what you think of him. Despite what Americans believe, the universe is not a democracy. Truth is not determined by the majority. As for hell, if you were as just and holy as God is, you would understand that all men deserve hell. It is no puzzle that men should go to hell. What is a puzzle is that men should go to heaven.

Dr. Martin Luther King said, βIf a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare composed poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, βHere lived a great street sweeper, who did his job well.

Is It Unloving to Speak of Hell? If you were giving some friends directions to Denver and you knew that one road led there but a second road ended at a sharp cliff around a blind corner, would you talk only about the safe road? No. You would tell them about both, especially if you knew that the road to destruction was wider and more traveled. In fact, it would be terribly unloving not to warn them about that other road.

Are we not the clay and God the potter? When he refuses to conform to our wills, do we discard him? If you are looking for a religion centered around yourself, Ben, I must agree that Christianity is a poor choice.

I have no room for a God who lets children die.β βThe innkeeper had no room, but it did not thwart Godβs plan. Who is Ben Fielding to have no room for God? Shall the dog decide whether there is room in the house for the Master? Shall the cricket decide whether there is room in the forest for the Lion?

A true believer may spend a sleepless night doubting God. But what keeps a Communist awake at night is his fear there is a God. His wishful thinking is that God does not exist. For if there is no God, there is no Judge and, therefore, no judgment for his wickedness. But if there is a God, he knows he will not fare well before him. Or that God will make demands on him he does not wish to fulfill.

In the cell, stripped of comfort and ease, unable to do what he would like, he was free from distraction. He had only his mind and what he had put into it.

He was so strong.β βCompared to Yesu, he is weak.
