The DJs on the radio were discussing a report about some scientists who were able to record plants emitting a cry for help when stressed. Apparently the sound, of a decibel that is below the hearing range of the human ear, can be ‘heard’ from several metres away. With other characteristics of life (growing, die, needing food and water), the plant is as much a living thing as any other animal in the world. To ‘kill’ a plant is, therefore, equivalent to killing an animal. That would put some teachings about being vegetarian for purposes of not ‘killing’ a life totally out of the window. If a part of the worldview is wrong, then the whole needs to be reevaluated.

Christians need to know their beliefs well; more than ever now than before. The way truths are distorted by the politics in some big countries in the West, God have mercy on us when such distortions start to land on our soil (mind). Name calling and screaming in social media are their weapons of choice. In that country, you cannot be sure if someone is a woman or a man. Calling them with the wrong pronoun can get a person into deep trouble with the law.

All these problems arises because the word of God is being thrown out by this nation. Sad to say that this nation is powerful and exerts its influence on other parts of the world and insists that all must follow suit. Rights to them is only when you abide by their rules and not you are doing what right for yourself. So, they now want others to accept the LGBTQIA+ agenda. To them the word of God is not important. After all, most people there do not really know the bible.

So, brothers and sisters in Christ, keep the word of God close to your heart. Live and breathe in it. Know it well and not be deceived by the evil deceptions of the devil in this world. Night is approaching and we can do nothing when it arrives. So, let us work while it is day. Equip yourselves in word and prayer. Steel your belief and trust in Jesus Christ. Prayerfully, we may be able to stand to the very end.

God bless,
In Christ’s service,

电台主播们正在讨论一项报告，是有关一些科学家能够收录到植物在受到压力时所发出的求救呼声。很显然，这些声音的分贝虽然低于人耳的听觉范围，却是在几米以外也能“听见”的。拥有其他的生命特性（生长、死亡、需要养分和水），植物其实就如世上其他的动物一样，也是活物之一。“杀害”一棵植物也相等于杀害一只动物。这也将一些人以不“杀害”生命为目的而成为素食者的教导完全的抹杀了。倘若一部份的世界观是错误的，那么整体上就需要重新评估。

基督徒必须确实知道他们的信仰；甚至比过去更深入。真理已经被西方一些大国的政治所扭曲，当这些扭曲落入我们的土壤（思想），求上帝怜悯我们。名字的称呼及在社交媒体的叫嚣是他们所选择的武器。在那个国家里，你不能确定某人是女人或男人。用错误的代词来称呼他们，会使一个人惹上麻烦的法律纠纷。

这些问题会出现是因为上帝的话语已经被这个国家撇弃。可悲的说，这个国家是强大的，其在世界各地的影响力很深远，也坚持所有的人都必须效仿。对他们而言，只有当你遵守他们的规则时才是权利，而非你为自己作正确的事。所以，他们现在就要其他的人接受彩虹族群或性少数者（LGBTQIA+）的议事。对他们来说，上帝的话语并不重要。毕竟，在那里大部份的人并不真正了解圣经。

因此，主内的弟兄姐妹，要将上帝的话语深藏在心。这是生命和呼吸。熟知圣经，不要被这世界的恶魔所说的邪恶谎言所欺骗。黑夜将要来临。当它来到，我们就什么都不能做了。所以，让我们趁着白日工作。在圣经和祷告中装备自己。坚固你在耶稣基督里的信仰和信靠。祈愿我们都能坚守到最后。

上帝赐福，
在基督里同工的，
