Sermon - Stephen Tong Sunday Service 01/24/2021 Matthew 7:13-14

Chinese session:
Best seller books don't mean they are good.

Tong: many regret electing Biden as president, because one of his official is gay saying "I'm glad my 'husband' is here..."
If America put into law these gender confusion, then the family will break.

The small gate has protocols to follow.

Spurgeon did not get ordained by big churches: Why can I find God, because he first put the seed of seeking Him in my heart.

Good durians can be detected by the stem of the fruit, the color and smell reflects the fruits; Wisdom of telling a person's inside is harder than judging by outward appearance.

Jesus said I'm the vine, you are the branches. The fruit of the tree is of the tree, not the branch.

The nutrient that flows from the tree to the branch is as the Holy Spirit.

John 10:9, Jesus said I am the door. No one else said that.

Know your place first, then you can obey. Those who don't obey because they have left their place.

Therefore being Christians is harder than being a non-Christians. Many thinks going to America they found the earthly heaven, but now America is now becoming worse than even China ethically.

Tong: Now America enter the wide gate. John Roberts of the U.S. supreme court justice, breaks the law using the law. Of the 9 justices, only 2 obey the law. One of the is a black man who was once scorned under Biden? (Obama?). More supporting abortion, gender confusion in toilet, etc. Now that Trump is not elected, it shows that America is now dominated by wicked lies and trickery. Tong said he is tempted to advise his members not to send kids to USA anymore, because all they care about is class-connections, financial advantage, not education of the true personality which is living for the truth, honesty, righteousness.

Christian Education is produce someone like Christ.

John Dewey, William James, Charles Piece these 3 influenced America in the 1920s with Pragmatism. In 1980s, Marxism penetrated American culture, focusing on materialism, economy as purpose, morality and Christ are unnecessary.

Reformed churches established Harvard and Yale. 80 years later, Harvard gone astray, thus Yale is established to counter that apostacy from Christ. Now GRII will attempt similar goal, one that is beyond current financial means. Now, Harvard and Yale sued Trump for not allowing Chinese students to come study. China sent chinese spies as students to learn the technologies. China's communism wants to remove religion and America, which is its obstacle now.

What then is the small gate and narrow path? That is according to Christ.

Tong: American politician Eric Swalwell, wooed by Chinese Mata hari - Fang Fang, Chinese spy who entered US as college student. Swalwell told Fang Fang all kinds of secrets, slept with her. Thanks to Biden, Swalwell's position is now secured. Many Chinese officials are morally corrupt, having affairs everywhere. Muslims are no exception, there's a tale that Muhammed was actually poisoned by one of his sex slave.

The wide gate: love of money, love of women.

Jesus did not get married because of his unique nature, an offspring is not allowed. Dan Brown exploited that with the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

Tong: some say, I don't want to be Christians, cannot dance, cannot be drunken, cannot commit adultery, cannot be greedy, cannot lie, how can I make money.

My prayer: Lord, though the world is easy, the path of true joy is hard, make us the holy ones of God, according to the obedience of Christ our Lord and Savior. In thy precious Name Jesus Christ, Amen.

Tong encouraged those (Chinese session) troubled reach out to him to schedule a time to pray and seek God's will.
