Abel stood before God as a justified worshiper who offered the best of what he had out of faith. Cain stood before God relying on external ritual without internal devotion, demanding acceptance on his own terms rather than God's.
Heartfelt over tokenistic
Adam might well glory in bounty of his Maker, who not only designed to give life to a clay vessel but made it also the dwelling place of an immortal spirit.
God-pleasing faith.
Having faith and seeking God are synonymous throughout scripture.
Faith enables the believing soul to treat the future as present and the invisible as seen.
Fear of God you will have no fear, but fear of people or other things you do have fear.
Does the people linked wall work? No, Chinese people have different physics
Brave PLA soldiers trying to block flood water using their bodies — a classic image of Chinese state propaganda in action.
In the midst of devastating floods, state media showcases People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops heroically linking arms and forming human walls against raging torrents to “protect the people and the Party.”
Videos and photos circulate widely, praising their sacrifice as the ultimate display of loyalty and bravery.
But netizens often see through the optics: while soldiers do risk their lives in disaster relief (as in past major floods in Hebei, Anhui, or earlier 1998 events), these dramatic human-shield moments highlight deeper issues — inadequate infrastructure, rushed construction, and a system that prioritizes propaganda over prevention.
Why rely on human bodies when better engineering, early warnings, and transparent governance could save more lives?
This isn’t just heroism; it’s a window into how the CCP turns real emergencies into loyalty spectacles. What do you think — genuine sacrifice or carefully staged narrative for the cameras?
John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
