  • That'll be 863 yuan.

  • What? It was just an IV drip.

  • Why is it so expensive?

  • Hospital policy. (Did you get the results?)

  • Yeah.

  • What department was the emergency patient sent to last night?

  • Neurology. (Thanks.)

  • The doctors! Where are the doctors?

  • Where are they? Bring them out here!

  • Unconscionable quacks! (Quick! Call Director Wang!)

  • Bring our relative back!

  • Unconscionable quacks!

  • This is a hospital!

  • You can't cause a scene here! Please calm down! (Terrible. We won't bear. Where is he?)

  • Everyone just calm down!

  • Stop shouting! This is a hospital!

  • A perfectly healthy person is gone, just like that!

  • We deserve to know what happened! (Just tell us why!)

  • Give us an explanation!

  • Everyone be quiet.

  • Let me speak. (Tell us what happened!)

  • The operation was successful.

  • The patient's death has nothing to do with our hospital.

  • It was a sudden brain hemorrhage,

  • and we did everything we could to save him.

  • We regret his loss too. (That's a lie!)

  • Bring out your directors!

  • You are all seriously impacting our ability to work.

  • If you don't leave right now, I'm going to call the police!

  • The police?

  • You killed him and now you're avoiding responsibility!

  • You unconscionable quacks! We deserve an answer!

  • Tell us what happened!

  • Stop hiding the truth!

  • We need an explanation! Tell us what happened! (Dr. Cheng, I beg you.)

  • How did my husband really die?

  • What happened to my son?

  • What happened? (Bring the doctors out!)

  • Stop hiding you cowards!

  • Sudden onset hemorrhage.

  • We misjudged his condition. I'm sorry.

  • We did everything we could to save him.

  • I told you long ago,

  • when it comes to situations like this,

  • there are plenty of reasons to put the responsibility on the patient.

  • But you refuse to listen.

  • When you do this,

  • it damages the hospital's good name!

  • Director,

  • this was clearly the hospital's mistake.

  • And on top of all that, to lie to the patient's family

  • Enough!

  • The board has already decided.

  • But why?

  • Because I told the truth?

  • The hospital made you a sacrificial lamb to settle the dispute.

  • That's not fair at all!

  • No matter what,

  • I told the truth.

  • I was honest with them,

  • so my conscience is clear.

  • I feel at peace.

  • You're a good Christian, so I know you speak from your heart,

  • but did you stop and think

  • the hospital dismissed you for malpractice?

  • That becomes a stain on your work record,

  • and it could be really difficult to find work in the future!

  • Next stop, South Chaoyang Road.

  • Cheng Nuo,

  • I know you might not want to hear this,

  • but they say

  • \"You can't blame someone for not knowing.\"

  • The hospital denied everything,

  • and no one else even said a word,

  • so why did you have to tell them the truth?

  • Mom, Heaven sees all the things we do.

  • I can't just ignore my conscience and lie like that.

  • Nothing against you believing in God, or telling the truth,

  • but there's a time and place for something like that!

  • Ma

  • And now look! Jobless!

  • Telling the truth got you fired! (Hey Mom.)

  • Come on, don't be so hard on her.

  • She's going to find a new job.

  • I have to say something to her.

  • Stop it. We still have my income.

  • It's just someone as honest as her couldn't keep a job anywhere!

  • Okay, calm down, don't be upset.

  • Here, have some water.

  • So you have a bachelor's degree

  • and five years of clinical experience?

  • That's right.

  • And you used to work at a city hospital?

  • Wait to hear from us.

  • So then, you're saying you were terminated?

  • Mm, I was.

  • Ms. Cheng,

  • if we need you in the future, we'll contact you.

  • I'm sorry,

  • but I don't think this position is for you.

  • We'll get back to you.

  • I'm sorry.

  • You're not quite the right fit for our company.

  • I'm sorry. You can go now.

  • Oh

  • Mr. Wang!

  • Mr. Wang!

  • The rebar this contractor used is narrower than before.

  • The cement's not thick enough.

  • If we cut corners like this, there could be issues down the line.

  • Deguang,

  • as long as the primary structure has no issues,

  • don't make such a fuss.

  • Do you know who the contractor on this project is?

  • A city leader's relative.

  • They've asked that we take care of him.

  • But, Mr. Wang,

  • if there's problems with the building, who bears the responsibility?

  • Don't worry, nothing will happen.

  • Deguang, be a bit more flexible.

  • Upsetting the city leader over something like this really isn't worth it.

  • Making things easier for others makes it easy for yourself.

  • It's been three months, and she still hasn't found a job.

  • Come on, don't worry so much about it.

  • How can I not worry?

  • I mean the monthly mortgage is over 3,000.

  • That much?

  • And there's Kai's school fees too.

  • Right now, Deguang is paying for everything.

  • Deguang works two jobs right now,

  • and overtime at night.

  • As his mother, I'm concerned about him.

  • Liwen?

  • Hey Cheng Nuo,

  • I just heard Shuguang Medical Equipment is hiring a new manager.

  • They're a foreign-owned company, and the salary is really good.

  • It's a good opportunity, so fight for it.

  • As a doctor,

  • I can tell what kind of equipment the patients actually need,

  • and I can give consumers professional direction and advice.

  • Those would be my strengths as the new manager.

  • Also,

  • you just said you resigned from your last job, correct?

  • That's right.

  • Being a doctor at a city hospital,

  • it's an admirable profession.

  • So why did you walk away?

  • When I studied medicine,

  • I thought it would be a very noble, holy profession,

  • but it wasn't what I imagined at all.

  • Most hospitals today

  • have self-serving doctors with their own interests,

  • and leaders that put profits above everything.

  • Hospitals aren't just places that save the dying and heal the sick anymore,

  • so I resigned and left the hospital

  • to hopefully find a job that suits me better.

  • Hey, so how was the interview today?

  • I lied to them and said I resigned,

  • not that I was fired.

  • For something as important as this,

  • a little white lie doesn't hurt

  • if it helps you get the job.

  • I feel so guilty for lying about it.

  • God requires us to be honest people,

  • and I want to practice according to His word.

  • Why do I involuntarily lie where my own interests are concerned?

  • Isn't everyone like that after being corrupted by Satan?

  • This society is too pragmatic.

  • You won't get anything done if you don't lie a little.

  • If we tell a lie,

  • we can just pray to God and confess.

  • Cheng Nuo,

  • to pursue being an honest person is completely in accordance with God's will.

  • The fact you feel guilty and not at peace when you lie,

  • that's a good thing.

  • You should go before God, reflect, and confess.

  • As for now, our spiritual stature is small,

  • and there are still some things the flesh cannot forsake.

  • Especially in important matters, we can still lie without realizing it.

  • I've struggled with it myself over the last few years.

  • But as far as pursuing being an honest person,

  • I don't think we can succeed without God's discipline, judgment, and chastisement.

  • You know, at least you're better than me!

  • You may lie about big important things,

  • but me? I still lie about small stuff.

  • Especially since I sell clothes,

  • I don't even know how many times a day I lie.

  • Afterward I always regret it,

  • and I hate myself for cheating my customers,

  • but when I see them there,

  • I open my mouth and lies just come out.

  • I don't know when I'll be able to stop.

  • Really. She's telling the truth now.

  • But there are times she can lie so easily.

  • Even if something looks terrible on them,

  • what else can she say?

  • \"Wow! That shirt is beautiful!

  • It looks amazing on you! Just perfect!

  • Like it was tailor-made for you!\"

  • Oh, and you lie any less than I do?

  • Whenever I hear your boss call you,

  • all that you do is kiss up to him.

  • Even with his co-workers,

  • it's nothing but polite clichés and compliments.

  • It's just work.

  • That's no excuse!

  • You said everything to Mom

  • You're both like eggs.

  • Six of the same; half a dozen of the other.

  • But, I have to tell you,

  • you've believed in God for a while now.

  • You need to take your faith seriously and pursue the truth.

  • You can't be confused and live like non-believers. Huh?

  • I know, Mom!

  • It's true.

  • Your mother is right. You should listen to her.

  • Dad, Mom, come on. Don't worry so much.

  • Of course I believe in God.

  • I've read a lot of God's word, and I see this world clearly.

  • It really is dark and evil,

  • which is why I resolve to be honest.

  • But I only seem to do it when I'm with my brothers and sisters.

  • When I'm around unbelievers,

  • I still have to be careful about what I say.

  • I don't want to offend anyone at work by saying how I really feel,

  • otherwise I might lose my place in the company.

  • Yeah.

  • But now I realize I lie a lot in my life,

  • and it really does worry me.

  • Mom, you know I'm a true believer too.

  • I try my best not to lie and to be an honest person,

  • but sometimes I lie involuntarily. (Yeah.)

  • Just trying to control it doesn't work.

  • I'm learning that being an honest person is difficult,

  • and it looks like resolving it is a very big deal. (Yeah.)

  • Mm, it is.

  • I can say, over the last few years, in my practice,

  • I think the reason we struggle

  • is that we can't forsake our flesh.

  • I discovered that every time I lied,

  • it was my fleshly nature controlling me.

  • We only lie when we're led by our own goals and intentions.

  • Without a heart that loves the truth and fervently wants God,

  • we are still concerned with image and pursue fleshly interests,

  • so there's no way to solve the issue.

  • Mm, that's right.

  • In all the years I've believed,

  • I still haven't resolved the problem of lying.

  • If being an honest person were easy,

  • then we wouldn't need God's judgment.

  • Through God's discipline, I got a little better,

  • and though I lie less now,

  • it can still happen in certain circumstances.

  • Lies and deceit are the deepest-rooted corruption,

  • and they're not easy to escape!

  • Yes.

  • I saw clearly only after God's judgment

  • that people who lie lack their humanity.

  • Isn't someone who can easily lie a devil themself?

  • Unless we see the issue clearly,

  • it won't be easy to stop lying and be honest people.

  • Right.

  • It's really serious, the nature of lying.

  • When I would hear about Satan,

  • I thought it meant evil spirits in the spiritual world.

  • But now, (That's what I thought too.)

  • I know that deeply corrupt mankind is filled with satanic dispositions,

  • and lies and deceives.

  • So it's fair to say

  • that we are Satan's descendants, living devils!

  • Even if it's hard to accept, it's the reality.

  • Yes.

  • You know, these words resonate with me.

  • In the past, I thought I was a good person.

  • Since I don't break the law and I don't hurt anyone,

  • I thought

  • \"Hey! What's the harm in a few lies?\" (Yeah.)

  • But now,

  • when I look back on things based on God's word,

  • even though I don't look like I'm doing anything obviously evil,

  • the fact that I tell so many lies means I'm not even worthy to be called a human!

  • That's true.

  • People who continuously lie are the devils,

  • and if we don't repent,

  • we won't be able to gain God's blessings.

  • You're right, that's why we have to repent. (Yeah.)

  • That's exactly right! Repentance is key.

  • If we want to be honest people,

  • yet don't resolve the problem of lying,

  • it isn't true repentance.

  • If we believe in God without repentance,

  • how can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • God's word also says,

  • God is holy and righteous,

  • and He likes honest people.

  • Only honest people can sincerely love and obey God.

  • After so many years, I think I finally understand,

  • if we believe in God but can't be honest people,

  • God will eliminate us!

  • Only honest people are truly kind.

  • They have a good conscience and reason,

  • and can earnestly win the trust of others and God.

  • Only honest people are true humans,

  • and are qualified to receive His promises and be brought into God's kingdom.

  • Yes.

  • God detests cunning people,

  • who often lie and engage in deceit.

  • In the end, if they don't change,

  • they'll be sent to hell and punished!

  • God has redeemed mankind,

  • and in the last days,

  • He does the work of judgment to save them

  • because He truly desires to purify mankind,

  • which is corrupted by Satan and is full of lies,

  • to turn them into honest people

  • and bring them into His kingdom.

  • That is God's sincere love for mankind!

  • Yes.

  • Before, when we believed in the Lord,

  • we didn't understand God's righteous disposition,

  • so we blindly believed our pastors and elders,

  • and believed that by faith alone,

  • the sins that we committed would be forgiven,

  • that when the Lord came,

  • we would be brought into the kingdom of heaven,

  • and that believers in Him were all people of the kingdom of heaven.

  • But after reading Almighty God's words,

  • I finally understood that this isn't true at all.

  • Without experiencing judgment before the seat of Christ in the last days,

  • and unless our satanic dispositions are purified so we live as honest people,

  • we're not qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • That's right.

  • The pastors and elders in the religious world fail in that

  • they don't accept the truth expressed by God in the last days.

  • They deny Christ, and condemn Him,

  • which is one of the greatest sins.

  • They don't accept the truth at all.

  • They don't enter the kingdom of heaven, and they try to stop others as well.

  • Their tongues speak only in lies,

  • and their hearts are full of deceit.

  • They are all modern Pharisees.

  • How could they be worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • We can't follow the same path of these Pharisees in our belief in God.

  • Yeah.

  • If we want to be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • we need to resolve to live as honest people.

  • Only honest people are able to truly repent,

  • and only by being an honest person

  • are we worthy to enter and be a part of the kingdom of heaven.

  • It's great to be able to fellowship like this.

  • I've enjoyed it.

  • Hey, so later

  • Sister Cheng, 19 votes.

  • That's great! Wonderful! Thanks be to God!

  • Sister Zhang, 21 votes.

  • Sister Zhang Jie is our new Watering Deacon.

  • Wonderful. Thanks be to God!

  • Congratulations!

  • Sister Cheng,

  • losing today by two votes must've been tough.

  • Are you doing alright?

  • I never thought I would be selected.

  • A Watering Deacon's job

  • requires an understanding of the truth and practical experience.

  • I'm far from qualified,

  • so I'm not surprised that I lost.

  • If I reveal corruption, please feel free to point it out to me.

  • It'll help build our partnership and help us in our duties.

  • I'll think about it.

  • She's a church leader,

  • and I'm just a group leader.

  • If I actually did say something like that to her face,

  • would she think I'm arrogant?

  • Well, we haven't known or worked together for very long,

  • so uh, for the moment I don't have anything to criticize.

  • I really do tell too many lies!

  • I've got to put an end to this!

  • Take a look, everyone.

  • If you have any information, let us know.

  • There's a reward for reports.

  • \"Completely Banish House Churches …\"

  • They're arresting believers in God again.

  • The Communist Party won't stop until they eliminate all Christians!

  • That's right.

  • A few days ago, they arrested my neighbors who believe in Jesus.

  • Really?

  • They still haven't found anyone to take care of their child.

  • The Communist Party really is evil!

  • I heard if you're arrested, they might send you to jail or worse!

  • Hey, Nuo

  • Mom.

  • What are you doing here?

  • I'm running an errand.

  • The CCP is arresting Christians everywhere,

  • and you're still going to meetings?

  • I'll be careful. I promise.

  • They're posting notices outside our door

  • Ma, it's OK. Why don't you go home?

  • Come on, let's go this way.

  • In the past, I thought I was an extremely honest person,

  • but after some reflection and prayer,

  • I realize that I still lie quite a bit.

  • Especially in matters concerning my own interests, reputation, and status,

  • I still lie and deceive so easily.

  • It's a lot worse than I thought.

  • Why is it a big deal?

  • To achieve their own personal goals, one can tell any kind of lie,

  • which means their heart is deceitful and dishonest.

  • The fact I can tell all these lies

  • proves I can do these dishonest and deceptive things.

  • How can I say I have conscience and reason?

  • If I cheat my conscience and continue lying,

  • how can I be worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • Exactly.

  • Resolving the problem of lying isn't so easy!

  • Yeah. Absolutely.

  • Lying and deceit aren't minor issues.

  • If a government official or president lies about something,

  • how many people will suffer?

  • Exactly.

  • The CCP gained power through lying and deception,

  • and continues to rule through violence and lies.

  • Right.

  • Ever since they've been in power,

  • they've told countless lies

  • and have corrupted generations.

  • Chinese people lie more than anyone.

  • Lying and deceit are known hallmarks of man's corruption,

  • and are a stubborn disease.

  • In all people,

  • these are the most serious satanic dispositions.

  • Yes.

  • Right.

  • I often lie in my business,

  • and sometimes I really try to control it,

  • but it doesn't last.

  • The moment my interests are concerned, I lie again!

  • I've lied about things in my marriage.

  • I said I earned the money to pay for this house,

  • but I actually had to borrow it!

  • But if I hadn't said that,

  • her parents wouldn't have agreed!

  • Right.

  • It looks like we all have some clarity.

  • So then, how do we resolve this issue?

  • God's judgment in the last days is to resolve mankind's corrupt dispositions

  • and allow people to become as they were when God created them.

  • Yes.

  • Let's read from God's word.

  • Okay. Sounds good.

  • I'll read next.

  • Okay.

  • Praise be to God!

  • Amen! Praise be to God!

  • God's repeated demands that we be honest people have meaning.

  • In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus said,

  • In the last days, Almighty God has come,

  • and He repeatedly continues to demand that we be honest people.

  • He has told us many principles of being an honest person,

  • and has pointed out the path for being one.

  • Right.

  • To practice being honest people,

  • first we must hand over our hearts to God,

  • accept His observation and judgment, pruning, and dealing.

  • We must come to know how deeply Satan has corrupted our nature based on God's word,

  • to be able to truly loathe ourselves and to genuinely repent.

  • Only then can we be honest people.

  • Amen. Yes.

  • That's the correct path.

  • Praise God!

  • We must reflect on ourselves based on God's word.

  • Why is it we can't control ourselves

  • when it comes to lying and deception?

  • This is human nature, and it represents our true disposition.

  • That's correct.

  • If we don't understand our deceitful nature and the root of our lying,

  • and try to rely on controlling ourselves to resolve lying,

  • it solves absolutely nothing.

  • Yes.

  • This method isn't good enough.

  • Right. That's absolutely right!

  • Exactly.

  • Many fail in their experience of being honest people.

  • We should learn from their failures.

  • Absolutely we can!

  • Yes,

  • there are lots of people that think lying isn't a big deal,

  • that it's not actually a sin,

  • and that it doesn't represent their character, but this couldn't be more wrong!

  • Yeah!

  • That's what I used to think in the past.

  • And now, we practice being honest people according to God's words,

  • handing our hearts over to God, (Amen!)

  • and accepting His observation.

  • This is crucial to resolving lying and being honest people.

  • Yeah. Yes. That's right.

  • I have my own experience I can fellowship with you today regarding this.

  • Okay! Great! Alright!

  • I remember once,

  • my church leader asked if I could point out any shortcomings he had,

  • and I'd clearly seen that he spoke letters and doctrines at meetings,

  • and didn't resolve practical problems,

  • but I was afraid of telling him the truth and offending him,

  • so I thought of a few unimportant things to muddle through,

  • but I felt guilty in my heart.

  • I remembered that God said,

  • I prayed to God in my heart,

  • \"God! I've seen I'm afraid to speak the truth,

  • that I try to muddle through and confuse people.

  • I tell too many lies,

  • and I speak and act with no principles.

  • I pray to ask that You discipline and enlighten me …\"

  • So, I said to the church leader,

  • \"You speak too much in letters and doctrines,

  • and you can't resolve practical problems.

  • Is working like that in accordance with God's will?\"

  • When he heard this,

  • he wasn't upset at all!

  • He thought I made a valid point.

  • He began practicing the truth himself,

  • and after, his fellowship was much more practical.

  • Thanks be to God!

  • I was very happy to see that.

  • I saw how being honest and telling the truth didn't hurt others,

  • and in fact helped them a lot.

  • That experience of being an honest person genuinely produced results.

  • Amen. Yes it is! Being honest is great!

  • Praise be to God!

  • Today's fellowship has brightened my heart and given me a new path.

  • In the past, if I told a lie,

  • I simply went to God and confessed.

  • That was it.

  • But I didn't accept the judgment of God's words,

  • or reflect to understand my satanic nature and disposition.

  • I just let these things slide,

  • and even when I had the chance,

  • I chose to lie again.

  • Now I understand,

  • the most important way to stop lying is to give our heart to God,

  • always accept His observation,

  • reflect on the intentions, background, and root cause

  • of each lie we tell through God's words,

  • and clearly see the essence of our humanity,

  • and understand our lying satanic nature.

  • This is the most important thing to practice.

  • Right. Exactly.

  • That's right! Wonderful!

  • When we seek the truth and see these matters clearly,

  • and come to know our satanic dispositions of selfishness, deception, evil, and greed,

  • we're able to see that the true reason we lie is to protect our reputation and status,

  • to protect our own interests. (Right.)

  • We lie to hide the ugly parts of us, our selfish goals and motives,

  • which makes all of us hypocrites!

  • Yes! That's exactly right!

  • Lying is despicable and shameless!

  • When we understand the essence of lying in depth like this,

  • we're able to loathe ourselves and detest it.

  • And when it happens again,

  • we are able to practice the truth and reject lying.

  • Yes. Glory to God!

  • After this fellowship, I've gained some understanding as well.

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Dad, grandma, I'm home!

  • Oh, Kai's back!

  • Yeah, Mom, right there!

  • Stop moving!

  • What's all this? (Don't squirm.)

  • Old injury. It's not a big deal.

  • Oh really? No big deal?

  • You work all day,

  • and then keep working till the middle of the night.

  • I'm surprised your body hasn't fallen apart.

  • Mom, I'm fine. Really.

  • When will it end?

  • Here Dad, let me massage you.

  • Oh great.

  • Deguang, (Yeah?)

  • please don't take urgent jobs like that anymore.

  • Don't worry.

  • Shuguang Medical Equipment called me back for a second interview tomorrow.

  • Really?

  • It looks like this might be it.

  • Think Mom's got it? (Yeah.)

  • Tell Mom good luck!

  • Good luck, Mom!

  • Good luck, Mom!

  • You got this, Mom!

  • Ms. Cheng,

  • if hired on as our business planning manager,

  • how would you go about performing your job?

  • Before I answer,

  • there's something I want to say.

  • At my last job,

  • I was actually terminated.

  • I didn't tell the truth during the first interview.

  • I hid the reason I left my job.

  • Ms. Cheng,

  • you realize the implications of what you just told us?

  • I do.

  • It means I might not get the job.

  • But no matter what happens,

  • I'm grateful for the opportunity with your company.

  • I'm sorry, Ms. Cheng.

  • But thank you for coming in.

  • Thank you.

  • Goodbye.

  • Mr. Zhang!

  • You can sit down.

  • Hello?

  • I've interviewed a lot of people.

  • And every one of them says whatever they think will get them the job.

  • But you, you're different.

  • I appreciate your honesty.

  • Our company could use more people like you,

  • blunt, honest, brave enough to accept responsibility.

  • You're too kind.

  • Welcome to the team!

  • Thank you!

  • Welcome aboard!

  • I just can't believe it!

  • You admitted you lied, and they still hired you.

  • God truly blesses people who practice the truth and are honest!

  • Here, let's sit down.

  • Yeah, it sounds like you found a great job!

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Jiamin, here you are. (Thanks!)

  • What happened changed my views dramatically.

  • I used to think

  • the world is dark and evil, full of lies and deceit,

  • and that being an honest person wouldn't be practical.

  • But after this experience,

  • I realize views like that aren't true at all.

  • Things like \"Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost\"

  • and \"Man can achieve nothing without telling lies\"

  • are all just fallacies Satan uses to deceive and corrupt people.

  • When people live by this,

  • they only become more deceitful and selfish.

  • They lack the slightest amount of humanity.

  • Being human means practicing the truth and being an honest person.

  • It makes you feel secure and at peace,

  • and grants you God's grace.

  • That's wonderful.

  • It's been hard for her to gain this kind of experience and understanding.

  • I wish I had that kind of confidence!

  • Just means we need to work extra hard to catch up.

  • Right.

  • Hey. I just remembered a passage of God's words.

  • Let's read it together.

  • Okay. Great.

  • I'll read it.

  • Sure.

  • This one.

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Amen.

  • God's word is the truth.

  • If we practice the truth and are honest people,

  • it absolutely will work;

  • we can still survive all the same in this world,

  • because God is the Creator of all things,

  • the source of all life.

  • He is the One who cares for us

  • and rules over the fate of mankind,

  • and He is the One who leads mankind forward.

  • God expresses these truths in the last days

  • so that all who believe in Him could practice and enter into them,

  • and gain these truths as life.

  • If we live by God's word,

  • we can gain His blessings and approval.

  • Yes!

  • In my experience of God's words over the last few years,

  • I've gained some enlightenment.

  • I've seen that God's words are truly valuable,

  • and they really can become our life.

  • Nuo,

  • your experience and understanding is so helpful.

  • Now I feel more confident in practicing the truth and becoming an honest person!

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Uncle Yi!

  • Yeah?

  • Come play with me!

  • Alright.

  • Let's play some soccer! (Okay! Let's go.)

  • Sounds good! (Hey, Deguang.)

  • Yeah?

  • I want to tell you something.

  • What is it?

  • This new job won't be as busy as my last,

  • and I'm thinking of taking on more church duties.

  • What do you think?

  • It's a great idea,

  • butthe CCP's arrests are so intense now.

  • Doing church duties is dangerous.

  • I'll be careful.

  • Oh my goodness! It's a feast tonight!

  • You hungry Kai?

  • Here, I'll get a piece of meat for you.

  • A building at the Lotus Riverside complex in the Minhang District collapsed,

  • killing one worker onsite.

  • The reason for the collapse is still under investigation.

  • After the incident, residents of two adjacent

  • Oh my, the whole thing collapsed.

  • Yeah!

  • That's horrible!

  • Residents were able to return to their homes the following day

  • as it was confirmed

  • Deguang,

  • you don't have these kinds of issues, right?

  • Every builder cuts corners nowadays.

  • That's why so many buildings collapse.

  • Deguang,

  • poor construction quality can kill people.

  • You can't be so careless about it!

  • As believers in God,

  • we need to have principles and a bottom line in what we do.

  • We can't do deceitful, unconscionable things.

  • Back on the 21st of the month, at around 8:30 p.m.,

  • a building under construction in the same city

  • Eat while it's hot.

  • Here Kai.

  • Have another piece of fish before it gets cold. (Okay.)

  • There were some mistakes that I found here.

  • Hey, Cheng Nuo. (Yes?)

  • There's someone outside to see you.

  • Oh, okay.

  • Sister Zhang?

  • Come on, we'll talk over there.

  • Sister Cheng, there's a problem in the church.

  • Sister Fang was arrested.

  • What?

  • When did that happen?

  • Last night,

  • Sister Fang and Sister Song were discussing church work

  • and one of their neighbors reported it.

  • What about Sister Song?

  • She escaped.

  • The church arranged a hiding place for her.

  • What do we do about church work?

  • That's what I came to talk to you about.

  • I know we're both familiar with the workings of the church,

  • can I partner with you to help with some of the workload?

  • That's exactly what I was thinking.

  • Our first task is to protect anyone who might be at risk.

  • Right.

  • Let's go.

  • Recently, thanks to strict surveillance by the Long Cheng Municipal PSB,

  • 26 members of The Church of Almighty God have been arrested,

  • including 5 church leaders and 8 preachers.

  • To date, over the past 2 months,

  • the provincial PSB has arrested 152 members of The Church of Almighty God.

  • It's so late! Where is she?

  • The CCP is arresting Christians everywhere,

  • and she still goes out to meetings.

  • If they find and arrest her,

  • who knows what they'll do!

  • And the rest of the family will suffer too!

  • You should go find her!

  • Don't go out and do church duties anymore.

  • We can still read God's word, let's just have meetings at home.

  • Deguang,

  • if we give in to the CCP's persecution

  • that we don't even perform our duties,

  • don't we lose our testimony?

  • How is that sincere belief in God?

  • It's only because I'm worried about you.

  • If you spend all day running around like this

  • and one day the CCP arrests you, they'll torture you.

  • They'll force you to betray God and sell out the church,

  • and if things go wrong, they might kill you.

  • Believing in God in a country ruled by the Communist Party,

  • and trying to gain the truth as life and be saved by God

  • without being persecuted?

  • That's impossible.

  • Did you forget about that?

  • The church leader was arrested,

  • and the church needs someone to do its work.

  • Nothing reveals more whether people have true faith and sincerity

  • Many brothers and sisters in the church are looking

  • In such difficult situations,

  • we should have even more faith in God.

  • There is no force that can stop the work of God.

  • Good night. I'm heading out.

  • Hey Cheng Nuo,

  • the boss is buying dinner, come with us!

  • I can't tonight, I have something to do.

  • Living as an honest person requires experiencing God's judgment and trials.

  • Only then can we escape our satanic dispositions

  • and live out a true human likeness. (Right!)

  • Stop where you are!

  • Stop! Stop now!

  • Stop running!

  • Stop Now! Police!

  • Sister Zhang Jie, 23 votes,

  • Sister Cheng Nuo, 25 votes.

  • Cheng Nuo and Zhang Jie are the new church leaders.

  • Thanks be to God! Alright.

  • Mr. Liu, we have a problem!

  • We found cracks in the floor's support beam.

  • Which floor?

  • The 8th floor, sir.

  • Let me see it.

  • Where did you see it? Which area?

  • There's one there,

  • there, and there.

  • Here, here, and here.

  • Just three places?

  • Only three at the moment.

  • Let's go take a look. (Alright.)

  • What do we do?

  • The handover is tomorrow. (We can't hand it off like this, can we?)

  • Can it be fixed?

  • Yes.

  • Hello?

  • What?

  • Please!

  • He's my only son!

  • If something happens, how would I ever

  • Mom, how is he?

  • He suffered a major head wound.

  • There could still be delayed hemorrhaging.

  • If it's bad enough, it could endanger his life.

  • How could this happen?

  • You said you both believe in God, right Nuo?

  • Why didn't your God protect my Deguang?

  • Auntie, don't cry.

  • One of the tower cranes snapped without warning,

  • and the workload fell.

  • One person was instantly crushed and died.

  • Your husband is lucky to be alive.

  • Wang Ling, take me to him.

  • He's been unconscious for several days now.

  • We don't know when he will wake up,

  • so it might be best to prepare for the worst.

  • Nuo, you need to eat.

  • Dad, I'm not hungry.

  • My girl, stubborn as always.

  • Nuo, let's go for a walk.

  • Mom,

  • I know there's a lesson.

  • God is trying to tell me something from Deguang's accident,

  • but I don't understand.

  • I risk getting arrested

  • and sent to jail every time I do my duties,

  • and I work dawn to dusk in my duties,

  • suffering and expending for God,

  • so how could something like this happen to Deguang?

  • Why didn't God protect him?

  • His mom blames me,

  • and my friends and family mock me constantly

  • I feel so weak that I don't want to do my duties.

  • Nuo,

  • I can understand how you feel right now,

  • but we can't blame God.

  • People say,

  • \"Accidents happen, and life is unpredictable.\"

  • Everyone goes through troubles at some point in life,

  • and when disaster strikes non-believers,

  • they become helpless and resentful.

  • But as believers in God,

  • even if we are also in pain,

  • we can pray and rely on God.

  • We feel God's presence,

  • and have comfort and guidance of God's words.

  • Even though it hurts,

  • it doesn't hurt too much.

  • Take Job.

  • During his trials, he didn't blame God.

  • He said,

  • Job was honest, upright,

  • and feared God, and shunned evil.

  • In all things, he was unwilling to sin with his mouth.

  • God praised Job, calling him a complete person.

  • Nuo,

  • don't you fellowship that we should be as Job to live as honest people?

  • Why do you complain now only after what happened to Deguang?

  • That's not what an honest person would do.

  • Nuo, you haven't slept in two days.

  • Your dad has things handled here.

  • Go home and get some rest.

  • And read God's word. 'K?

  • God's word precisely reveals my true state.

  • It's true I only feel motivated to do my duties when my family is safe.

  • After Deguang's accident,

  • I blamed God and questioned His will.

  • I see I was only doing my duties to gain His blessings.

  • I expended for God only to benefit myself.

  • It's for gaining blessings, and not for satisfying God.

  • Isn't that trying to trade with God and deceive God?

  • That's not what it means to be an honest person!

  • Why didn't I understand this before?

  • I don't know her.

  • Okay. You can go.

  • You, come here.

  • Do you recognize the person in this photograph?

  • No.

  • How about this one?

  • No.

  • Did you even look at it?

  • I don't know her.

  • What about them?

  • Never seen them.

  • You really don't know them?

  • Never seen them before.

  • Hey, you, wait. Come here.

  • Let us know if you see them.

  • There's a reward if you do.

  • Okay, got it.

  • Hey, come here.

  • Do you recognize the person in this photograph? (You, come here.)

  • This one?

  • I've never seen her before.

  • Do you know the person in this picture?

  • No.

  • Them?

  • Hey, wait up.

  • She looks familiar … (Come over here. Hey!)

  • Take a good look.

  • This is

  • This is Dr. Cheng!

  • Where is she?

  • Wasn't that her mother-in-law that just walked by?

  • Dammit.

  • After her!

  • Driver, City Hospital.

  • Okay.

  • Deguang?

  • Deguang, are you awake?

  • Deguang!

  • Deguang, you're awake!

  • Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!

  • Why isn't she answering the phone?

  • Driver, faster!

  • Everything looks normal but we'll need to keep him overnight.

  • Understood. Thank you!

  • It's good he's awake. (Yeah.)

  • We'll let you have a moment. (Thank you.)

  • Nuo! Where are you?

  • Nuo! (Mom? What is it?)

  • The police are coming to get you.

  • What?

  • You need to get out of here!

  • Captain Wang, we're on route to the hospital.

  • Hurry up!

  • Be good and listen to Grandma, OK?

  • Kai, time to let Mom go!

  • Be safe. (Mom …)

  • Take this! (Mom …)

  • Now go. Get out of here!

  • No … (Let her go, Kai!)

  • Mom

  • Quick! Don't let her escape!

  • Dammit! Where's Cheng Nuo?

  • Temperature looks normal.

  • You're recovering quite well.

  • But you still need more rest.

  • Understood. Thanks. (Thank you.)

  • If Dr. Wang is right,

  • you should be able to get up and walk.

  • Wanna give it a shot?

  • Yeah.

  • You do?

  • Great. Let's give it a shot.

  • Help me up.

  • Dad!

  • Deguang, you're out of bed!

  • Kai's here!

  • I can't imagine how exhausted you are.

  • I'm grateful for the help.

  • I don't think I could've done it without you two!

  • Thank you both!

  • You don't need to thank us, auntie.

  • It was just the right thing to do.

  • I've been worried about Nuo too

  • Don't worry, auntie.

  • We have brothers and sisters taking care of her.

  • That's right.

  • Kai, (Yeah?)

  • I'm going to pick you up tonight.

  • Got it! Okay!

  • Take some baozi.

  • You can have some on the road. (We're heading out now.)

  • Okay.

  • Get some rest.

  • We'll see you soon.

  • Sounds good.

  • Take care. (Dad …)

  • Bye.

  • What's up?

  • When is Mom coming back? I really miss her

  • Mom

  • Mom will be back soon, okay?

  • Mom

  • Sister Tan, let's sit down here for a minute.

  • Alright.

  • Sister Cheng, are you feeling any better now?

  • Praise God!

  • After reading God's words,

  • and with the fellowship and support of my brothers and sisters,

  • I'm feeling much better.

  • I see that my husband's accident and the CCP's hunt for me

  • revealed my true stature,

  • and I see my corrupt, satanic disposition.

  • Here.

  • Thanks.

  • My faith is too small.

  • When God kept my family safe,

  • and everything went well, I thanked God,

  • and I had passion for my duties.

  • But as soon as He tested me,

  • I tried to argue with God and complained.

  • I became someone weak, who had absolutely no motivation.

  • I truly lack any obedience to God!

  • Going through trials,

  • and being able to see your own corruption and shortcomings

  • means you've already grown!

  • Through prayer and reflection,

  • I saw that in my expenditure,

  • my actions weren't in obedience to God,

  • and I wasn't doing the duties of a creature.

  • I was trying to use my labor to ask for God's blessings,

  • to ensure my place in the kingdom of heaven.

  • Isn't that just an attempt to trade with God?

  • Isn't it just deception and lie to better serve myself?

  • I realize that in the last few years,

  • I've pursued being an honest person,

  • and even though I lie less now

  • and try to be less deceptive with others,

  • I still attempt to trade with God.

  • Isn't that even more serious deceit?

  • I'm not an honest person at all!

  • Let's walk while we talk.

  • Without experiencing trials,

  • we can never understand the impurities in our belief in God,

  • nor can we understand our deceitful intentions behind attempting to trade with God.

  • There's a saying,

  • \"Time reveals the heart,\" and \"Adversity shows one's true nature.\"

  • God uses trials to reveal the truth and test people,

  • and makes us see our true essence in just how deeply we are corrupted by Satan,

  • and see whether our faith in God is true or false,

  • and whether our hearts are truly honest or deceptive.

  • This is absolutely necessary to know ourselves and pursue being honest people!

  • Yeah.

  • Sister Song.

  • Come in. (Alright.)

  • Everyone is here!

  • Hello, Sister Song!

  • Sister Song!

  • Sister Cheng!

  • I'm really surprised to see you.

  • I know. It's been more than a year.

  • I know. (Let's all sit down.)

  • I was just told a few days ago that you were in the region

  • The biggest thing I learn during all of this

  • is just how much there is to learn about being an honest person.

  • Especially after everything that happened,

  • I finally see that to be honest people,

  • we not only have to resolve the lies we tell,

  • but also much resolve the cunning and deception in our hearts.

  • Yes!

  • When we resolve the deception in our hearts,

  • we no longer try to cheat God or trade with God,

  • we can genuinely obey God,

  • and we no longer lie to or try to deceive others,

  • and we do what we say and love others as ourselves.

  • This is what it means to be honest,

  • and how we live as a true human.

  • That's right! Yes.

  • Thanks be to God! Amen!

  • There's still a lot I have to learn

  • about how the deceit in our hearts can be permanently purified

  • to become honest people.

  • Nice.

  • Sister Cheng, that's a fantastic topic.

  • To be an honest person,

  • we not only have to resolve the lies we tell,

  • but also resolve the cunning in our hearts.

  • This is extremely difficult to do!

  • Yeah.

  • Lies are easy to discern,

  • but the deceit in our hearts isn't easy to see.

  • The Bible says,

  • Satan's corruption of man is a corruption of our hearts.

  • The satanic poisons in our heart produce satanic natures,

  • which is the source of cunning and deceit.

  • Without the judgment of God's words and revelations of the facts,

  • we would never discover

  • that these lies and deceit come from our satanic natures.

  • Why is it that people are cunning and deceitful?

  • And why, despite believing in God, do we have our own despicable intentions?

  • Why do we attempt to trade with God?

  • Where is the root of all these problems?

  • First, let's watch a few videos of God's word to learn.

  • Sounds good. OK. Alright.

  • That's right! So true. Yeah.

  • That's right!

  • God's words really cut deep! (They do!)

  • These words make everything so clear! (That's exactly how I feel too.)

  • Yes! I couldn't agree more. (Thanks be to God!)

  • God's words reveal the root of our deceit very clearly.

  • Yes. Yeah.

  • Man is so corrupted by Satan,

  • and all kinds of satanic poisons, logic, and philosophy

  • took root in our hearts long ago.

  • Ideas like \"Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost,\"

  • or \"A hand in power is a hand in one's own fortune.\"

  • \"Those who toil with their minds govern others,

  • and those who toil with their hands are the governed.\" (Yeah.)

  • Or \"Officials are just looking out for number one, not the public.\" (Right.)

  • These philosophies become the foundation for how mankind survives.

  • When people live out their lives by these satanic rules,

  • they become ever more arrogant, self-conceited,

  • twisted, cunning, selfish, and greedy. (Right.)

  • They live by their own goals and intentions,

  • and their interests always come first.

  • They do anything for money, power, and prestige.

  • Yeah.

  • And people scheme and deceive one another,

  • to the point that even friends and family cheat and take advantage of one another.

  • Yeah, that's really true. Yes.

  • We smile and happily meet with whoever can serve our interests,

  • but the moment our own interests are compromised,

  • we become enemies. (Agreed.)

  • Is there any humanity and conscience in living like that?

  • Not at all. None. There is not.

  • Satan has corrupted mankind for thousands of years,

  • to the point where we're more demon than human.

  • Mankind is becoming even more sinister,

  • leading the world down an evil path.

  • Yes.

  • We have become Satan's descendants,

  • and just as Satan is deceitful and cunning,

  • so too are all people.

  • Just as Satan resists God, so do people.

  • Yes! That's true.

  • This is the truth of mankind's being corrupted by Satan.

  • Yes. That's right. That's absolutely true.

  • If we continue,

  • without undergoing the judgment and chastisement in God's words and being purified and fully saved,

  • we'll all be destroyed!

  • Yes.

  • Yes, I couldn't agree more.

  • Mankind has been deeply corrupted by Satan,

  • their hearts are full of cunning and deceit,

  • and their words and deeds only serve their individual intentions and goals.

  • Just like CCP officials,

  • who claim to be \"the people's servants,\"

  • wave their banner \"to serve the people,\"

  • as they shout

  • \"A better life for the people is the goal which we struggle toward.\"

  • That's right!

  • But have they ever actually done anything for the common people?

  • No.

  • Even if they seemingly do good things,

  • it's only for their own political merit.

  • It is just to improve their relationship with the people, (Yeah.)

  • so as to protect their own political power,

  • as well as prevent any riots. (Yes. Right!)

  • In the decades the CCP has held power,

  • their atrocities have been too numerous to list.

  • They resist God, and carry hate in their heart.

  • They want to eliminate God's work by persecuting Christians.

  • Yes!

  • This angers both Heaven and the people, earning God's curses.

  • That's right.

  • The CCP brings countless disasters to the people of China,

  • and they have committed unspeakable crimes.

  • They truly are demons reincarnated!

  • The CCP says anything they can to seem good,

  • but all their actions contradict this! (Right. Yes.)

  • The CCP is truly evil!

  • Why is it that some people now can't clearly see the CCP's evil essence?

  • Because they are so cunning and sinister.

  • Of course the common man is fooled and deceived!

  • Right.

  • The CCP is just a demon that deceives its people!

  • Yeah.

  • Without constant analysis and fellowship,

  • we wouldn't be able to see the CCP's devilish nature and maliciousness,

  • nor would we see that these satanic philosophies and natures

  • are the root of people lying.

  • Yes. That's right.

  • That's exactly right.

  • These satanic poisons corrupt us

  • and increase our desire for profit above conscience.

  • All throughout our lives, people could never see

  • how many times we lie and cheat for our reputation and interests.

  • These satanic philosophies truly corrupt us!

  • Yes. Right. Yeah.

  • Through the revelations of trials, and the judgment and chastisement of God's words,

  • we see that mankind is indeed deeply corrupted by Satan,

  • and that our natures are full of cunning and deceit.

  • Even in our belief in God,

  • we have our own intentions and motives.

  • Many people believe in God to satisfy themselves

  • and to enjoy God's grace and blessings,

  • not to gain the truth, escape their satanic dispositions,

  • or live out a life as a true human being.

  • Some people labor for God and even forsake everything for Him,

  • but this is just in exchange for the blessings of the kingdom of heaven. (Right.)

  • This is why, when disasters come,

  • or they begin to suffer trials,

  • they may rebel and blame God if their desires are unmet.

  • It's all because of man's cunning natures.

  • Right.

  • So, resolving our cunning natures is all too important!

  • Yes, incredibly important!

  • Yes, it's truly is. Thanks be to God!

  • Almighty God has come to express the truth and do the work of judgment in the last days

  • to resolve the problem of mankind's corruption.

  • Yes.

  • This is God's great salvation for mankind!

  • Praise God! Amen!

  • Thanks be to God!

  • As we experience the judgment in God's words,

  • trials and refinement,

  • we gain some understanding of our satanic natures and cunning dispositions,

  • we see that we have been deeply corrupted by Satan,

  • that our natures are full of selfishness and cunning,

  • and that we are filled with Satan's philosophies and toxins,

  • so we begin to despise ourselves, striving to pursue the truth,

  • and we are no longer willing to live by these satanic natures and philosophies.

  • Yes.

  • When we continue to practice God's words,

  • the satanic philosophies within us are reduced,

  • to different degrees, our dispositions change,

  • and we become more honest.

  • That we can have this understanding and change

  • is achieved by experiencing the judgment in God's words.

  • Yes. Right. It is.

  • That really is the truth. Thanks be to God!

  • That is so true!

  • Yes!

  • God's work of judgment is so important for us!

  • Yes! It is. Amen!

  • Absolutely. (Dad! Let my dad go!)

  • Pack the books up first.

  • I'm going to check it out.

  • Why are you arresting him?

  • Let him go!

  • You can't arrest him!

  • What law says he can't believe in God?

  • What about the law? (Let go!)

  • Dad! Let him go!

  • Get back! (Let him go!)

  • Let him go!

  • He's a government-approved pastor! Why are you arresting him?

  • Huilan, Huilan, Huilan

  • You bastard! Get in!

  • Dad … (Zhiming …)

  • Pastor Shen from the Xincheng District was just arrested by the police!

  • What? Arrested him?

  • The CCP's persecution of religion is getting even worse. (Yeah.)

  • Even in Three-Self churches, crosses are being torn down

  • and pastors are being arrested.

  • The CCP wants to completely eliminate any religious faith!

  • Right.

  • From now on, we need to be extra cautious,

  • and we should have someone always on watch.

  • Yes.

  • We can have our meeting in peace.

  • There are several brothers and sisters keeping watch outside.

  • Good! Great!

  • Yeah, I feel so much better. Yeah.

  • Let's start the meeting.

  • OK.

  • Last time we fellowshiped on aspects of truth regarding how to be an honest person.

  • If anyone still has something they don't understand,

  • we can follow up on it today.

  • Great! Wonderful!

  • I still have some questions about living as an honest person.

  • How do you put it into practice,

  • and how do you resolve the cunning in your hearts?

  • Yeah.

  • Can you discuss your experience on this?

  • Sounds great! Yes please.

  • I'd like you to discuss that too!

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Then I'll talk about my own experience and understanding.

  • Please. Yes, go right ahead. Great!

  • Over the years,

  • I've experienced God's judgment and chastisement,

  • as well as some trials and refinement,

  • my cunning intentions and satanic dispositions

  • have been purified to some extent,

  • I'm more honest in my words and actions,

  • and my life disposition has achieved some change.

  • This, to me, is the salvation of God!

  • Amen. Praise God!

  • In my first two years believing in Almighty God,

  • I was very enthusiastic,

  • and I actively performed all my duties.

  • So much so, I was chosen as a church leader.

  • In those days

  • I worked dawn till dusk for the church,

  • watering and supporting my brothers and sisters,

  • and my work began to bear some fruit.

  • Before I knew it,

  • I became arrogant

  • and began to believe I was better than others.

  • I showed off in front of my brothers and sisters

  • to convince them to support and admire me.

  • And I didn't focus on pursuing the truth and dispositional change.

  • I only pursued fame and status.

  • So I lost the work of the Holy Spirit

  • and was replaced

  • At the time, I felt tormented.

  • I felt I'd lost everything, my reputation,

  • my status, my future.

  • My passion for believing in God was nearly stripped away!

  • One day, I sat down to read God's word,

  • Amen.

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Thanks be to God!

  • In God's words of judgment and revelation,

  • I saw that what I had forsaken and expended was a guise for my deceitful intentions.

  • I did what I did to satisfy only myself in my desires of fame and status,

  • to wear a crown,

  • and reap the rewards of the kingdom of heaven,

  • not to be considerate of God's heart and do my duty well.

  • How was I any different than the hypocritical Pharisees,

  • or the religious pastors and the religious elders?

  • Right.

  • These people often interpret the Bible for the church,

  • and they appear to be very pious and love God,

  • but in truth, they never exalt or testify God.

  • They don't seek the truth or God's will as it is in the Bible,

  • and they don't guide believers to practice God's words

  • or to follow His commandments.

  • Right.

  • Instead, they strive to exalt and testify themselves,

  • and make others worship and obey them.

  • Because of this,

  • when God incarnate appears to work,

  • to protect their own status and livelihoods,

  • they wildly resist and condemn God's appearance and work,

  • and prevent others from accepting the true way,

  • thereby offending God's disposition.

  • The path they walk is the path of resistance toward God.

  • Yes. Yeah.

  • The Lord Jesus accused the Pharisees, saying,

  • These kinds of people appear pious and pretend to love God,

  • but they hide deceit within their hearts.

  • All they do is to satisfy their own desires.

  • They are deceivers of God, using Him,

  • and this offends God's disposition.

  • Thinking of these things

  • filled my heart with terror.

  • I felt unsafe, scared.

  • God is holy and righteous,

  • He loathes evil,

  • and does not tolerate us corrupt beings to deceive or resist Him.

  • God wants people to sincerely believe in Him and serve Him in earnest!

  • But I …

  • I enjoyed the care and protection of God, and the supply of His words,

  • yet I didn't expend for God sincerely,

  • and I didn't perform my duties well.

  • Instead, I pursued my own interests.

  • I was too cunning,

  • and the depths of my soul had become unclean.

  • But even then,

  • I still wanted people to admire and keep me in their hearts.

  • Completely shameless!

  • Right.

  • I was so disgusted with myself.

  • I really wanted to slap myself.

  • Then and there I swore an oath to God:

  • I would accept His observation

  • and perform my duties in accordance with God's will,

  • and if I ever again pursued fame,

  • and if I deceived Him,

  • I begged God to discipline me.

  • Amen.

  • From then on,

  • I began to focus on pursuing the truth,

  • and often self-reflected as I performed my duties.

  • When I found cunning intentions,

  • I prayed to God, forsook myself,

  • and consciously began to open up,

  • expose, and analyze my own corruption.

  • Gradually,

  • I no longer suffer the constraints of fame and status.

  • No matter what duty in God's house was arranged for me,

  • or if I had status,

  • no matter how anyone in the church saw me,

  • I normally performed my duties.

  • Thanks be to God! Glory to God!

  • My heart became pure and honest,

  • and I felt much more free and at ease.

  • Amen!

  • These were all effects of experiencing the judgment in God's word!

  • Thanks be to God! Amen!

  • Experience like this is wonderful, and so practical!

  • Thanks be to God! Amen! Yeah.

  • Yes,

  • through this kind of fellowship,

  • we know how to be honest and escape the cunning in our hearts.

  • That's right. Yeah. Exactly. Absolutely.

  • Let's read from God's word

  • to better our understanding of the path before us.

  • Okay. Alright. Yeah.

  • God's words say it so clearly.

  • The key to being an honest person is an honest heart.

  • The Lord Jesus said we should

  • use our heart and honesty to worship God.

  • Looking at it now,

  • only by escaping our cunning nature can we meet God's requirements.

  • Yes.

  • I've been practicing being an honest person according to God's words.

  • Each day I focus on accepting God's observation

  • and often reflect on myself.

  • When I discover cunning intentions,

  • I pray to God and seek the truth,

  • I analyze myself based on God's word.

  • Through this, I see clearly the root of my states,

  • the satanic philosophies I live by,

  • and how it goes against the truth.

  • Why is it actually fallacious and absurd?

  • What dangers and consequences does it bring?

  • When I understand this,

  • I have the motivation to forsake my flesh and practice the truth.

  • I do my duties with truly honest intentions.

  • I don't consider my own reputation, status, or destination,

  • or selfishly satisfy my own desires,

  • I seek only to fulfill the duties of a being created by God,

  • and to be considerate of God's heart.

  • Practicing this way for several years,

  • I have actually achieved some results.

  • Thanks be to God!

  • My views on belief of God have changed so much,

  • and many of my false intentions and impurities have vanished.

  • I feel much more calm and secure.

  • I revel in the joy and happiness of practicing the truth and being with God.

  • Only those who are honest are truly human,

  • and only in this way

  • can we live in the light openly, uprightly, and generously.

  • Praise God!

  • The fellowship on your experiences,

  • I can't explain how helpful they are right now.

  • Now I have some clarity about how to resolve my cunning intentions,

  • and I have a path to practice.

  • Glory to God!

  • God is the Creator, and we are His created beings.

  • It is the right thing to do,

  • believing in God and performing our duties.

  • Whether we're blessed or scourged,

  • whether we have an end or not,

  • we should obey God and be loyal to Him.

  • Yes.

  • Just like Job,

  • who was honest, upright,

  • and believed in God without personal intentions.

  • God sent hardships and disasters,

  • but Job obeyed God, never complaining,

  • always glorifying God's name,

  • and in the end he obtained God's approval and blessings.

  • He appeared to Job and spoke to him in wind,

  • and it was like seeing God face to face.

  • Right.

  • This allows me to see God's righteousness.

  • God delights in and blesses honest people.

  • As believers in God,

  • if we pursue the truth, resolve our cunning intentions,

  • and escape our selfishness,

  • we become honest people.

  • Nothing could be more meaningful.

  • I agree.

  • This experience has taught me so much.

  • From now on, I will be as Job and Peter,

  • and completely hand over my life to God,

  • and no matter the trials to come,

  • I will seek the truth,

  • obey God's orchestrations and arrangements,

  • and be an upright and honest person.

  • Sister Cheng,

  • a letter from your husband.

  • Someone from the church delivered it.

  • Cheng Nuo, getting hurt like this

  • has caused me great suffering,

  • but I've also learned many lessons.

  • Being in the hospital for over a month

  • has given me the time and quiet space to reflect on myself.

  • I've seen how, in the years I've believed in God,

  • I never pursued the truth.

  • Instead, I focused on working, making money,

  • but I didn't make any place for God in my heart

  • Hey, it's time to go.

  • OK.

  • Although in the past, I supported you in your duties to the church,

  • when things became dangerous, I was afraid for you.

  • I was scared you'd be arrested and tortured,

  • also that my job and our family would be impacted and suffer as well,

  • so I tried to stop you from doing your duties.

  • I wasn't acting like a believer in God, I was acting like an unbeliever!

  • You could say this accident forced me awake.

  • I've seen what happens in a world without faith,

  • and how vulnerable we are as humans without God's protection.

  • Our lives could be taken from us at any time.

  • But pursuing the truth and gaining it,

  • those are the most meaningful things in life.

  • From now on,

  • I'm willing to pursue the truth,

  • to gain God's salvation.

  • My love, while you're away,

  • devote yourself completely to your duties.

  • Everything at home is OK.

  • So don't worry about us

  • Through reading God's words, I realized

  • that my understanding of being an honest person was very shallow.

  • Up there! After them!

  • Hurry up! Go! Get moving.

  • Quick!

  • Come on, this way!

  • Hurry up! Hurry up! …

  • Hurry! Hurry! …

  • After them!

  • Let's split up!

  • OK! Let's go!

  • Hurry! Don't let them get away!

  • Come on! Faster! They went this way!

  • Split up! We'll go this way! (Yes, sir! Let's go this way!)

  • Sister Tan!

  • Quickly! Don't let her escape!

  • Come on! We gotta move! We've almost got them.

  • Let's go!

  • Get after them! I can tell they're close!

  • Sister Tan, let's go!

  • Be careful!

  • Stop!

  • There they are!

  • Get them!

  • Freeze! Stop running!

  • Freeze! (Quickly, let's go.)

  • We told you to freeze! Stop running. Now freeze!

  • After them!

  • Cheng Nuo, I can't keep going. Just run! Go now! …

  • We go together! We go together!

  • They're just up ahead! Hurry men! Follow them!

  • Freeze!

  • Stop! Stop!

  • Stop running!

  • Quickly!

  • There they are!

  • Cuff them!

  • Cheng Nuo,

  • so you think if you don't talk,

  • there's nothing we can do?

  • To be honest,

  • we've been following you for a long time,

  • and we know what you do.

  • You're a church leader

  • and often go to nearby cities to preach and lead meetings.

  • So, who is this?

  • Your superior maybe?

  • Who's hiding the church's money?

  • Talk now!

  • It's not against the law to believe in God.

  • It is right and proper,

  • so what do I have to confess?

  • You arrest Christians at will,

  • beat and torture us during interrogation.

  • It's illegal, and you're violating our human rights!

  • Damn you!

  • Who are you to speak to me about the law?

  • Understand, the Communist Party is the law!

  • Fine. Don't confess. See what happens!

  • Don't confess and see what happens!

  • Who said you could sleep?

  • You know,

  • even if you don't confess,

  • it's still a sentence of at least 8–10 years.

  • Your son will be expelled from school.

  • Your husband will lose his job.

  • And your entire family will suffer with you.

  • Do you really want to drag them down and ruin them with you?

  • Youyou torture me like this,

  • threaten my family and deprive us of the right to live.

  • Do you have no respect for the laws of Heaven?

  • Damn you! Sounds like you're just begging to die!

  • Hang her up!

  • Keep an eye on her.

  • Let's go.

  • God please, please give me faith and strength!

  • Listen here,

  • there's a limit to our patience!

  • You've got 10 minutes.

  • If you don't confess,

  • you won't make it out alive!

  • The Central Committee ordered long ago,

  • for believers in Almighty God, it doesn't matter if you die.

  • Whether you live or die is your choice.

  • You've got 10 minutes.

  • If you don't confess,

  • you won't make it out alive!

  • Oh God, I put my life in Your hands.

  • Even if I die, I will stand firm and testify for You.

  • I will not betray You!

  • Chief Ma?

  • Right, got it. We'll come right over.

  • Captain Lin, emergency mission. Let's go.

  • Keep interrogating her.

  • You got lucky!

  • Defendant Cheng Nuo,

  • for the crime of utilizing cult organizations to undermine the law,

  • we sentence you to five years in prison.

That'll be 863 yuan.
