He is an American pastor, author and conference speaker who was raised up in China and trained as a physicist before his conversion to evangelical Christianity. Once knowing Christ, he became fascinated by the Bible and everything it relates to. He sought for biblical truth as the revelation from God, which should and can be harmonized to the truths in other branches of knowledge, such as philosophy, science, and history. He has extended interests in chronology, archaeology, astronomy, prophecy; systematic and historical theology; ethics, law, economics, politics; arts and music. But mostly, he loves to do expository teaching from the Scripture. Here is a collection of the insights he received from the LORD.

Sermon #18 - What Are You, God? Bildad and Job (Round 3.2ab)
October 31, 2020 16:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBPreached Sunday, October 18, 2020 Scripture: Job Chapter 25 & 26 Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life Series Launch Date: 06/14/20 In Chap 26, Bildad exalted God as mighty and holy. Compared to Him, all men are nothing but worms. He was implying that Job should not be so proud, thinking that he could win a case against God in the court of God. In Chap 26, Job did the same. He called his friends men without wisdom while he exalted God as almighty and the on...

Thus, Job must have committed big sins; therefore, he was receiving deserved retributions from God. Eliphaz swore that he, himself, would never go the way of the wicked.

Sermon #14 - You Deserve It! Zophar to Job (Round 2)
October 06, 2020 10:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MBPreached Sunday, September 20, 2020 Scripture: Job Chapter 20 Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life Series Launch Date: 06/14/20 Zophar developed a theme about his friend Bildad, describing the fate of the wicked man in hell. He did it artistically and masterfully, and he was possibly correct. The problem was that he implied Job as the referent, which is totally opposite to the description by God. This showed the bifurcation of human minds due to different ...

He believed that God allowed this torture. God was the one who surrounded Job, fighting against him, treating him as an enemy. All was against Job, even his own body.

Sermon #12 - You Are Dangerous! Bildad to Job (Round 2)
September 04, 2020 09:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBPreached Sunday, August 30, 2020 Scripture: Job Chapter 18 Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life Series Launch Date: 06/14/20 Bildad Gave a powerful sermon concerning the fate of a confident but wicked man who found himself in hell. However, the artistic prowess of his position was misused because it is wrong both in terms of theology and application: The Law of Retribution does not stand without exception in all of its four logical forms, and God testified...
Sermon #11 - Who Understands Me? Eliphaz to Job (Round 2)
September 03, 2020 13:00 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBPreached Sunday, August 23, 2020 Scripture: Job Chapters 16-17 Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life Series Launch Date: 06/14/20 Job judged his friends as “sorry counselors” who provided him nothing but windy words. Nevertheless, Job believed in the same system as his friends, and could have said the same things if he and his friends could have switched places, but he would not do it. He laid the responsibility on God, who blinded the “friends,” who acted ...

He advised Job to be humbler so that he would then admit his nature as a sinner, which, in turn, would cause Job to see his personal guilt as the source of his suffering. He painted a traditional picture of the fate...

He pointed out that his friends were not the only wise men in the world, for he (Job) understood and valued the system of a moralistic universe just as much they did.

Sermon #4 - You Are Punished for Sins! Eliphaz to Job (Round 1)
July 10, 2020 22:00 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MBPreached Sunday, July 5, 2020 Scripture: Job Chapers 4 & 5 Sermon Series: The Book of Job - Launched 06/14/2020 Job’s friend, Eliphaz, represents reason, and he provides comfort to the suffering Job while also questioning the latter’s fear of God and overall integrity. He asked Job to be patient, consistent, realistic, and submissive to God. While his words are 90% true, and sometimes quoted by NT apostles, the 10% that are wrong make his whole approach unfit and injurious. Much of Eliphaz’...
Sermon #3 - Why Should I Live?: The Opening Statement of Job

Plea...
Sermon #2 - The Righteous Are Blessed and Suffer: A Cosmic Picture
June 25, 2020 09:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBPreached Sunday, June 21, 2020 Scripture: Job 1:1-2:10 Sermon Series - The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life The author of Job, apparently by divine inspiration, gave us a big picture of cosmic proportion. God was making a point to Satan, and Job was a pawn on the board. God says that true believers believe because of what God is and not because of what He does for them. Satan believes otherwise, for the concepts of love, trust, and noble intentions are beyond him. Thus, ...

If he is, when did he live? Why did tradition attribute the book to Moses? Is there an overlap between the lifetime of Job and Moses?

They give up the “outer life” and grow the “inner life.” They are b...

He planned to visit Corinth twice. One visit turned “short and painful,” and the other was delayed. The changes were due to necessity; the “super apostles” humiliated Paul in his short visit, and Ephesus need more work. God works everything out...
Sermon #3 - The New Covenant Revels Christ’s Glory to the Saints
May 07, 2020 22:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBPreached Sunday, March 22, 2020 Scripture: II Corinthians 3:1-18 Series over Sanctification through the Study of I & II Corinthians Paul conducts the ministry of the New Covenant, which is by the spirit, not the letter.

February 24, 2020 03:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBPreached Sunday, 02/23/20 The resurrected body is spiritual in the sense of being holy and free, not subject to sin, death, or even to space and time. However, it is not just a spirit but a corporal body. It is a glorified body in agreement with a regenerated spirit and sanctified soul. It is fitting for heaven, with everlasting life, and victorious over death because of the person and work of Jesus Christ.

February 24, 2020 02:00 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBPreached on 02/09/2020 The book moves to the application of the eighth blessing of the Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.” Being willing to suffer (even losing one's life) for the sake of righteousness is the deepest level of sanctification because it means that the person is unfit for the world but ready for heaven. Believers of Jesus Christ are not afraid of death because we know that Jesus died but resurre...

February 06, 2020 18:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBPreached Sunday, February 2, 2020 Prophesying is speaking the mysteries of God in a known language to men either by direct revelation from the Holy Spirit or by illumination from the Spirit to cause a deeper understand of the Bible. In a church gathering, many spiritual gifts could be used to benefit one another, but over all, they must be utilized in an orderly and Biblical manner.

Sermon #18: The Issue of Tongues: Its Nature and Ministry (1 Cor 14:1-25)
February 01, 2020 16:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBPreached on 01/19/2020 Spiritual gifts equip people to serve one another. In this sense, prophesying is more beneficial than speaking in tongues. In the situation of the Pentecost, the disciple preached the gospel in languages that they never learned but were the hometown dialects of someone in the audience. The gift does not leave even the situation changed. When no one in the audience knows the language, tongue speaking should become a private act of praying in tongues. Public speaking of...

Sermon #17: The Issue of Love: The Greatest Gift to Receive and Give (1 Cor 12:31b—13:13)
January 23, 2020 06:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBPreached Sunday, January 19, 2020T The greatest, everlasting spiritual power is love. Spiritual gifts are abilities to do the works of love, but without love, they are nothing. Love is the way God deals with us, and the way we should be dealing with others. Some spiritual gifts will stop by themselves; some will be stopped by God at the second coming of Christ. Love, however, is everlasting -- together with faith and hope. Even among these, love is the greatest. Please join us in person f...
Sermon #16: The Issue of Spiritual Gifts: The Need for Differentiating Ministries (1 Cor 12:1-31a)
January 18, 2020 17:00 - 54 minutes - 37.8 MBPreached on 01/12/2020 The next issue on peacemaking in the church is between the people with distinct spiritual gifts. As one God has three persons, one family has a man and a woman, and one church has people with spiritual gifts that differ from one another. The gifts are sovereignly distributed by the Holy Spirit, and the differences are meant to serve one another and unite the church.
