A Lesson From China

You might have noticed I took quite a hiatus from early September to late October this year. It was not just because my wife and I went to Taiwan for a couple of weeks and got Covid on the way back. I have really been distraught over what I have seen of T. L. (and Daisy) Osborn's version of the Gospel, which I discerned from several of his books (and from several other authors) I read before our trip to Taiwan, and the factor of our living our everyday lives without God. I am not sure just what to do about it.

For I had also been watching many videos on mainland China's rapidly deteriorating economy and its effects on the general population (whether they be true or not I do not know, though I do know that they are propaganda). A basic doctrine in Marxism (as I understand it) is that there is no God, therefore there is no judgment, no morals, and no right or wrong--belief in them is "reactionary." The only thing that matters is the State (which, if you are an elite, you read as control by the elites). The people are very distraught, and they have no knowledge of the real God to call upon.

Now, I had just been reading and listening to the Osborns' testimony, their essential and effective understanding of the Gospel, and I had been recounting my own evidentiary experiences with God for my sisters, and in Taiwan I encounter unnumbered cases of the ill effects of lives without God--almost as bad as that in the United States, and of the blessed effect of having a life WITH God. So I am wondering, how do I promulgate the saving, healing Gospel in a Godless and closed nation (people) like mainland China? How can they be saved if they cannot hear?

Maybe I had better explain/draw out Osborn's Gospel (please see the next post, forthcoming).
