From the Editor (12/2022)
The theme of our ACCCN in 2022 is “Love God, Love Family, Love Church.” God is love, and there is no fear in His perfect love. While the epidemic situation is changing irregularly, the number of participants attending Sunday worship is increasing, and in-person fellowship meetings are gradually resuming. Not only are old friends returning to church one after another, which brings gratitude, but new friends also come from afar each week. What a joy!
In “The Voice of Our Shepherds,” Minister Dongjian Guo recalled *Chicken Soup for the Soul* and told us that, according to the Bible, “Life can be restarted” because people can be born again. “I hope we Christians don't just say ‘I have been born again,’ but live a regenerated life!”
In “Missions Without Borders,” Sister Cindy from ACCC expressed her gratitude for the “Cross-Cultural Atlanta At-Home Mission” and encouraged brothers and sisters to “seize the opportunity” to care for refugees, pray faithfully, and actively participate in Muslim missions across churches. Coincidentally, Roger Lam, a missionary, shared the blessing of peace and his personal experience of Muslim missions: “How do Muslims become followers of Jesus?” It’s because they see God’s love in three ways: reading the Bible at home and being inspired by the Holy Spirit, knowing Christ in business as mission, and (the most influential and difficult way) seeing Christians live out the love of Christ and influence others with their lives.
In “A Life in Christ,” the article “Flying Melody, Let Praise Fly,” reported by the ACCCN Choir, reviewed the music crusade “Rebirth, Salvation, Hope” of the joint choir on October 1. The report showed that people testify and share out of love, preach and call to spread love, and offer messages and outlooks that contain love. At the same time, the brothers and sisters of ACCCN increased their love through the knowledge and experience of knowing God. Some of them pondered deeply, “Why did Jesus perform miracles?” Others read the Bible and the life of Christ with joy and enthusiastically participated in Sunday school. They also practiced the truth together, following “Gospel Living with One Another,” to reduce conflict, accept each other, and forgive each other.
In “Thanksgiving Testimony,” six brothers and sisters who were recently baptized told different stories of grace but thanked and praised the same Lord.
May we live a reborn life because of the Love of the Cross, and “Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness, Live out Christ” in 2023!
