  • Hi!

  • These vegetables look good.

  • - And a crate of potatoes, too. - Great.

  • We already told you, religious wording isn't allowed on your sign.

  • - But isn't it just a sign? - Just give up.

  • You're taking it down today!

  • Shut up and take it down!

  • This is going too far.

  • Saying "Gift From Heaven" is against the rules.

  • - Come on, take it down. - Take it down!

  • It's bound to happen.

  • Hey, what's going on over there?

  • I don't know. Let's go have a look.

  • "New Policy on Sinicization of Christianity."

  • It's the CCP persecuting religious faith.

  • Everybody, come over and have a look.

  • The central government issued a new notice,

  • "New Policy on Sinicization of Christianity."

  • Get a good look, then go and spread the news.

  • What does it say? Can you read it?

  • Read it for yourself.

  • The Chinese national flag must be displayed in a place of prominence

  • in all Christian public places.

  • Even the churches have to do it?

  • Hey. It's the Religious Affairs Bureau!

  • Quick! Hurry!

  • Don't go down!

  • The Religious Affairs people are here again.

  • - Can't be anything good. - Hey, not now.

  • Where is Pastor Xue?

  • He didn't come.

  • He is not here yet.

  • What did I tell you last time?

  • The national flag, and portraits of Chairman Mao and Chairman Xi

  • must be hung in all churches.

  • Why aren't they?

  • Get them up soon!

  • Director Shi,

  • the constitution doesn't say we have to hang Chairman Xi's portrait.

  • Isn't displaying an atheist leader's image asking us to worship idols?

  • Exactly. I feel the same way.

  • The Bible says we can only worship God, not idols, so you

  • I don't care what it says in the Bible.

  • You believers in China have to follow national policy and the government's orders.

  • If you don't hang Chairman's portraits like the government says,

  • you are breaking the law,

  • and your church will be closed!

  • - What? - Pastor Xue

  • - No. It's unfair. - We haven't broken the law.

  • What gives the government that right?

  • - Exactly. They are right about that. - They're so unreasonable.

  • Pastor Xue is here.

  • Director Shi, it's not that we don't respect national policy.

  • The church is a place of worshiping God.

  • Is that appropriate to hang the Chairman's portrait.

  • This isn't the Great Hall of the People.

  • That's right.

  • Now, imagine,

  • if foreigners came and saw portraits of national leaders in the church,

  • and went and told others,

  • wouldn't that harm the Communist Party's "great and honorable, correct" image?

  • Chairman Xi doesn't believe in God. He believes in Marxist atheism.

  • You Party members can worship him like God if you want to.

  • We worship the Lord Jesus, and you shouldn't limit our religious freedom.

  • Exactly. It's not right.

  • Hanging the portrait is a hallmark of sinicized Christianity.

  • Other churches have it up, and you have to do the same.

  • This is nationwide.

  • And doesn't it say in the Bible that those in power are established by God?

  • You must obey those who are in power. This is also obeying God.

  • You must understand that.

  • What churches abroad display pictures of their national leaders?

  • - That's right. - Yeah, who does that?

  • Isn't this an absurd demand? I just can't believe this.

  • - That's right. -Yeah.

  • I don't care what churches do abroad.

  • Having faith in China means hanging Chairman Xi's portrait.

  • This is national policy.

  • Churches that don't are all sealed and banned!

  • - What? - Banned?

  • Go hang it up! Go on! Now!

  • Director Shi, this isn't an urgent matter.

  • I need to discuss this with everyone.

  • No!

  • If it's not done today, the church will be closed!

  • On what basis? This is tyrannical!

  • - That's true. - That's not okay.

  • - Hurry it up! Hang it up now! - This is ridiculous.

  • Pastor Xue, we

  • - Do it right now! - Fine, I'll do it.

  • - Hang it higher! Straighter! - Come on!

  • Just sit down. It's fine.

  • - Hang it up. - Fine, I'll do it, right now.

  • Pastor Xue, we can't hang this.

  • Yeah, we can't do that.

  • This is an offense to the Lord.

  • It is.

  • The government wants us to. What choice do I have?

  • You can go, I'll do it.

  • Hang it, unless you don't care, if we close.

  • Hang it higher! Straighter!

  • It's still crooked!

  • Weren't these hymnals confiscated?

  • Do you sing the national anthem here?

  • Yes, of course.

  • Alright, then sing it right now.

  • Let's hear how well you sing it.

  • Sing it.

  • Right now, sing!

  • Brothers and sisters, sing along with me.

  • - Let's all sing with Pastor Xue. - Sing together.

  • You sing along too!

  • Not loud enough! Again!

  • Pastor Xue, we're flying the flag and singing the national anthem,

  • we are talking about the spirit

  • of the 19th National People's Congress and Xi Jinping's thoughts.

  • This is ridiculous! Is this still belief in the Lord?

  • - No. - It's not.

  • Isn't this just belief in the Communist Party?

  • Yes.

  • The Party's demolishing churches, and taking down crosses,

  • they're arresting and persecuting Christians.

  • They want to fully eradicate Christianity.

  • Exactly.

  • And we've just submitted to them. Isn't that being foolish?

  • - Right. - It is.

  • I think we brought this on ourselves.

  • I joined the Three-Self Church in the first place because I was afraid and timid.

  • I thought it would let me believe in the Lord Jesus,

  • that I'd have government protection.

  • I never thought the Communist Party was just buying itself time!

  • Exactly.

  • Never mind taking down crosses,

  • now we have to sing the anthem, raise the flag, and hang Xi Jinping's portrait.

  • The CCP is finally showing its ugly face.

  • It's true.

  • They're using religion itself as a vessel to eliminate faith!

  • - It is. - That's exactly right.

  • You know she's right. We have become Communist Party's slaves!

  • When I sang, "Rise up, those who would not be slaves,"

  • inside me, inside, I felt a rage rise up like a fire.

  • We should stand up and refuse to be the Communist Party's slaves!

  • We have to say no to them!

  • - Right. - Yes!

  • - We won't be slaves! - we should.

  • - They can't do that to us! - Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

  • They've bullied us to this point.

  • They're trying to wipe out our faith!

  • Exactly.

  • If I can't practice my faith at church, I'll do it at home.

  • With services like this, I'm not coming anymore.

  • - Let's go. - This is humiliating.

  • Brothers and sisters

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • I understand how you're feeling, but my hands are tied!

  • What is the Communist Party?

  • An atheist revolutionary party.

  • If you don't listen, they won't just put you in prison,

  • they'll actually kill you!

  • Look at all those house churches.

  • All they know how to do is bear a cross.

  • They would rather do time than join Three-Self.

  • Yes.

  • Especially Eastern Lightning. So many have been sentenced,

  • or crippled or killed from beatings.

  • Does the Lord really approve of that kind of faith?

  • If you're persecuted to death before you gain life,

  • does that glorify God?

  • Can you enter the kingdom of heaven that way?

  • No.

  • We hide under the Three-Self Church because we have no other choice.

  • The Lord Jesus teaches us,

  • When we raise the flag and sing the anthem, we are being wise.

  • The Lord sees inside our hearts.

  • As long as we don't deny His name or betray Him,

  • and stay strong to the end, we will be saved!

  • - Amen! - Yes.

  • Pastor Xue is doing all this so he can protect the church.

  • If this church gets shut down, where are we going to gather?

  • I think we should all listen to him.

  • We need to be wise in dealing with the CCP.

  • There is no other way for us to save our church.

  • Worshiping idols here in the church is an offense to the Lord.

  • That's exactly what it is.

  • Pastor Xue, obeying the CCP is a mistake.

  • How about we consider the house church path?

  • Wait. What?

  • Consider being a house church?

  • That's a dead end!

  • You want to do time?

  • To believe in the Lord from a jail cell?

  • That's foolish.

  • Alright, thank you.

  • Here, I'll take a screen protector.

  • You got it.

  • Crazy times we live in, huh? The churches have the flag up now.

  • Yea, a day I passed a Buddhist temple,

  • and I saw the monks carrying around a flag and doing a flag-raising ceremony.

  • They even saluted it!

  • We've sunk to worshiping the king of devils and Satan in our church.

  • If this goes on, and the Lord returns, can we be taken up into the kingdom of heaven?

  • Since joining Three-Self it's been one wrong step after another.

  • Slow down.

  • The hunter came to the forest and all the animals ran away,

  • but two were caught.

  • They didn't get away in time. Guess which ones!

  • The tortoise?

  • Right. Guess what was the other one?

  • I don't know.

  • Silly, it was the ostrich.

  • Why was it the ostrich?

  • Because ostriches are cowards, they stuck their heads in the sand.

  • This is a nationwide policy.

  • All the churches in the country have to take down their crosses.

  • If you don't take it down, we'll tear down your church!

  • What gives you the right to do this? Why are you taking down our cross?

  • Enough!

  • Tell me why?

  • Sit down!

  • Not loud enough, again.

  • Hello, Mrs. Zhang.

  • - Hello! - Hi kids.

  • - Brother Meng, Brother Song. - Brother Zhang.

  • Good to see you. Welcome!

  • We were at an impasse. And so we had to go.

  • We've all heard Religious Affairs is forcing churches to raise the flag and sing the anthem.

  • I imagine that you could never accept that.

  • Yeah.

  • The CCP made us join Three-Self, and I could compromise.

  • You may laugh at me, I joined out of fear. I admit.

  • But the flag and the anthem? How is that belief in the Lord?

  • Yeah.

  • I could deal with forbidding us from preaching Revelation or receiving the Lord's return,

  • but they want us to worship the king of devils. I just can't accept that.

  • Thanks be to the Lord! You've finally awakened.

  • Practicing faith in Three-Self means you're Satan's puppets.

  • Satan controls you.

  • Yeah.

  • Here, have a seat.

  • The CCP's claim of religious freedom is just to deceive people.

  • Its demonic face is revealed.

  • If we still can't wake up, are we really people of faith?

  • It violated our consciences.

  • I finally see the CCP's truly hateful, and does resists God.

  • I won't be enslaved by Satan anymore.

  • Being in Three-Self means believing in name only, you don't follow the Lord.

  • I feel the Lord has already cast us aside,

  • so I have to take the house church path.

  • Well, it's not too late. In the house church, you are all welcome.

  • Thanks be to the Lord!

  • Welcome.

  • Xiao Sun, what are you up to?

  • Just out buying some fruit.

  • Come on out.

  • - See you. - So long.

  • Pastor Xue,

  • today I saw Meng Changlin and Brother Song up to something.

  • Mom, let me in. I'm home.

  • - Hi Grandma! - Good girl.

  • Brother Meng, you're home.

  • Brother Sun and Pastor Xue.

  • I was near by and thought I'd visit your mother.

  • Xiaoyu, go do your homework. Okay?

  • - Xiaoyu, come on, I'll help you. - Go on, oh, be good girl.

  • We'll go inside.

  • Changlin,

  • the house church path is not easy.

  • Shunzi's uncle was in a house church, remember?

  • What was his sentence?

  • 7.5 years.

  • Exactly.

  • Haven't you seen the way things are going?

  • The CCP wants to eliminate all house churches.

  • If you were to join one at a time like this, that's like digging your own grave?

  • It sure is.

  • Can't you think of your mother and daughter, if not for yourself?

  • Yeah, think about.

  • If we hadn't joined Pastor Xue in Three-Self all those years ago,

  • we'd have been arrested by now.

  • We might be able to save our skins that way, but can we gain life?

  • House churches are persecuted so much but they won't yield to Satan.

  • They keep their faith and follow the Lord.

  • It's the same path the saints took through the ages.

  • Think about Eastern Lightning.

  • I don't know how they ever got started,

  • but I've heard they're suppressed and persecuted by the CCP.

  • And they still spread the gospel and bear witness.

  • Look at their path, and then at our situation.

  • It's pathetic.

  • The Three-Self churches are indoctrination centers for Xi Jinping's Thoughts.

  • Would the Lord accept us when He comes back?

  • I always feel the great disaster is right around the corner,

  • as if the Lord has just abandoned us.

  • Aren't we just following their policies so that we can keep them off our backs?

  • Yeah.

  • Besides, taking the Three-Self path and obeying the regime

  • has a biblical basis.

  • How could that be wrong?

  • What does it say in Romans 13:1?

  • By doing this we are in line with biblical teachings.

  • Pastor Xue is right to lead us down the Three-Self path.

  • It accords with the Bible.

  • Pastors are established by God.

  • If we leave pastors and elders behind for some house churches,

  • the consequences are unimaginable!

  • That's right.

  • If we do that out of fear of arrest and imprisonment,

  • cause we fear the forces of Satan.

  • We may save our skin, but we're controlled by the king of devils.

  • We bow down to it.

  • Is that glorifying God or shaming Him?

  • If we worship Satan in our church, we're clearly offending and betraying the Lord.

  • Why can't you see that?

  • Changlin, just listen to us this once.

  • So many people have died in the CCP's crackdowns.

  • Why do we believe in the Lord? Isn't it for peace and safety?

  • Mom

  • Changlin?

  • Zhiheng? When did you get back?

  • Just recently.

  • It's no wonder I couldn't find you.

  • You were in hiding out of town.

  • I wasn't just evading arrest.

  • I've also been at some house churches the last few years.

  • I've been pretty busy, so I haven't come back.

  • Hey, so tell me, how are things here?

  • Don't even ask.

  • At Three-Self Church services,

  • it's just some shallow talk of the Bible, you can't gain anything.

  • Now we have to raise the flag, sing the national anthem,

  • and worship the king of devils.

  • It's become a Communist Party indoctrination center.

  • If we don't go back to the house churches, we'll become atheists ourselves.

  • Well, I guess I'm just too stubborn.

  • The CCP leaves me no choice.

  • I can finally see the demon's ugly face.

  • After more than a decade in the Three-Self Church, I haven't gained a thing.

  • The pastors and elders have really harmed us.

  • You've finally woken up. This is a good thing.

  • Have a seat.

  • Amen!

  • We've all read these words plenty of times,

  • but how many people can truly take up a cross and follow the Lord?

  • Think about it when the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,

  • why so many Jewish people refuse to follow Him?

  • Wasn't it fear of being arrested?

  • Judaism back then was just like government-managed Three-Self churches we have today.

  • At the time, it was recognized by the Roman government, and not persecuted,

  • but what happened in the end?

  • They were all abandoned by the Lord.

  • But those who followed the Lord Jesus, who forsook everything for that,

  • they belonged to the house churches of those days.

  • They suffered a lot of persecution,

  • but gained the Lord's salvation, and understood some truths about faith,

  • they learned how to follow the Lord and bear witness,

  • and had God's blessings and guidance.

  • With Three-Self, is it really faith and following the Lord?

  • They have to listen to the CCP in everything,

  • even help the CCP monitor house churches.

  • They know they should worship the Lord Jesus,

  • but they raise the flag, sing the anthem, and obey the CCP.

  • This is humiliating for Christians!

  • In this city, over 40 believers have recently left their churches

  • and joined house churches, thereby escaping government control.

  • This is a very serious problem.

  • It really is.

  • And I must stress again

  • the religious personnel of every church are to enhance education

  • regarding our religious policies.

  • It is essential to grasp every believer's ideological trends,

  • so that we can understand the changes in their thinking,

  • and promptly carry out relevant political thought work.

  • It is so important.

  • We must guide them patiently and carefully out of theism,

  • and have them believe in science and the Party,

  • so over time they come to love the Party and the country.

  • Only then can we completely eliminate religious belief,

  • transform China into an atheist nation,

  • ensure that all Chinese will trust, and love, and forever follow the Party,

  • to achieve the goal of ensuring the Party's eternal rule.

  • Thinking back on it now, we really did stray from the Lord's way.

  • We only listened to the pastors and elders and obeyed the CCP's policies,

  • but didn't remotely obey the Lord's words.

  • We've betrayed the Bible's teachings at every turn.

  • We really have resisted and betrayed the Lord!

  • Now I've learned a lesson.

  • In faith, we should listen to the Lord's words and follow Him,

  • not listen to or follow people.

  • The path taken by the saints of the past was correct.

  • If we don't take up the cross and follow the Lord, we aren't fit to be His disciples.

  • I've known these verses for over a decade,

  • but this is the first time I've understood that the Lord's words are the truth.

  • Yeah!

  • When we follow the Lord, we're persecuted and arrested by Satan,

  • but don't underestimate that whole experience, because there are lessons in that.

  • When we rely on the Lord and let Him guide us,

  • we can see God's deeds, understand His will,

  • and see how He leads, and saves His people.

  • This is why going through suffering and trials is actually God's blessing.

  • Tell me, if we fear arrest and imprisonment,

  • if we crave comfort and safety, and live ignobly,

  • can we ever gain the truth or the life?

  • Can we ever gain God's approval?

  • We must forsake Satan, escape from his bondage,

  • and follow the Lord with full faith to feel peace and joy in our hearts.

  • By doing this and welcoming the Lord based on His words we find a path!

  • - Am I right? - Yes.

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Pastor Xue.

  • Yes, sir.

  • We've heard that certain people in your church

  • are quite opposed to the government's religious policies.

  • We already know who all of them are, and we are investigating the situation.

  • It would behoove you to help us ascertain the issues with these people.

  • But don't be passive.

  • Yes, Chief, it's true there were two people who wouldn't listen,

  • but the problem has already been resolved.

  • Be assured that I'll cooperate with your work.

  • I'm warning you now, if something like this happens again,

  • you won't just lose your church, but you'll lose your career as a pastor.

  • Chief, I assure you

  • nothing like this will ever happen again.

  • That's good to know.

  • Going to a house church can't be done lightly.

  • We need a permission of Pastor Xue.

  • Why would we need that?

  • He is hanging the flag and worshiping the king of devils. He is dooming himself.

  • Why listen to him?

  • Brother Meng, I'll go.

  • OK, see you later.

  • In any case, going to a house church is right.

  • It's our own fault for being cowards at the start.

  • Brother Liang.

  • Go on.

  • Hey, hold up, tell me where do you live?

  • Hey, Xiao Zhang.

  • Hey, Director Wei.

  • We've noticed strangers in your alley a lot lately.

  • Whose house are they going to?

  • Whose house?

  • Now you've clearly seen Satan's evil face.

  • You feel singing the anthem and worshiping the king of demons

  • shames and betrays the Lord.

  • You want to leave the Three-Self Church.

  • These issues are not simple.

  • The pastors have their own reasons for taking the Three-Self path,

  • but as to whether we have to follow them in doing so,

  • whether this accords with the Lord's will,

  • if He will approve of it or not,

  • we just have to seek the truth and pray to the Lord.

  • Without a basis in the Lord's words,

  • if we choose based on human wisdom and views, we'll likely to take the wrong path.

  • It's human nature to seek comfort and avoid suffering,

  • especially for the Lord, or to gain truth.

  • No one wants to die for the Lord.

  • The moment we experience persecution,

  • we become Judases, we sell out the Lord and the church.

  • What are the consequences?

  • So when choosing a path, we need to seek the Lord's will.

  • Otherwise, if we blindly follow people, isn't that just foolish?

  • Yes.

  • In the Age of Law,

  • Proverbs also says,

  • Amen!

  • If you want to gain the truth and life under Communist rule,

  • you need to risk your life and offer your life in trade.

  • Without true faith, can you ever follow the Lord?

  • You can only live ignobly on the Three-Self path,

  • and if there's a hint of blessings, you run after the pastor to believe in a church.

  • This reminds me of the prophecy in Proverbs,

  • But I don't understand.

  • There's biblical basis for the pastor leading us down the Three-Self path.

  • Plus, pastors and elders are established by God.

  • How is it wrong to follow them?

  • Yeah, what's wrong with that?

  • Whether pastors and elders are established by God

  • isn't determined by the words of man.

  • We have to go by the words of God.

  • Did the Lord Jesus ever say they're established by God?

  • Did the Holy Spirit ever say that?

  • No.

  • When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,

  • it was the religious leaders who worked to resist and condemn Him,

  • and who nailed Him to the cross.

  • Right.

  • If the pastors and elders lead us down the right path

  • to follow God, with the work of the Holy Spirit,

  • there's nothing wrong with following them.

  • But if they lead us to surrender to Satan and worship the king of devils,

  • can you still say they're established by God?

  • Isn't this blatantly misleading and harming people?

  • That's exactly what it is.

  • Yeah.

  • Most pastors in religion are graduates of theological institutes.

  • They're professional theologians, who rely on theology for their paychecks.

  • They aren't followers of God at all.

  • Most pastors and elders only believe in science, not in divine miracles.

  • Some don't even acknowledge the divine conception of the Lord Jesus.

  • They are simply nonbelievers.

  • Especially pastors in Three-Self.

  • Some of them are professors at Communist schools, or Marxism-Leninism institutes,

  • and still others research the Bible for the United Front.

  • Most of them are Party members,

  • or if they're not, they're Party agents.

  • These people call themselves pastors,

  • and the Party plants them in every church to interpret the Bible.

  • Can you really say they're established by God?

  • They're established by the CCP. How could anyone say it was God?

  • If we say pastors established by the CCP were established by God,

  • that obeying them is obeying God, isn't that blasphemy?

  • Aren't we twisting the facts and confusing good and evil?

  • Right.

  • That's so true.

  • These people adulate status and influence they're greedy for life,

  • and would rather obey a clearly satanic regime just to preserve themselves.

  • Can we really obey such false shepherds?

  • We can't.

  • Right.

  • You should all think about this, cause it's really serious.

  • It concerns whether we can enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • - I agree. - Yes.

  • This is really important.

  • The pastors and elders really are hypocrites,

  • false shepherds submitting to Satan's forces.

  • We've been confused for many years now.

  • We thought they were established by God, and blindly followed and obeyed them.

  • Exactly.

  • We thought that obeying them was obeying God.

  • We're blind, we didn't understand.

  • It reminds me of the Lord's words,

  • As believers, we must listen to the Lord Jesus' words and follow Him.

  • We can't be deceived by false shepherds into worshiping the king of devils!

  • Yeah.

  • Amen!

  • So how do we follow the Father's will?

  • We need to listen to the Lord Jesus' words and practice accordingly.

  • Only that is a follower.

  • If we listen to the CCP and follow false shepherds, are we doing God's will?

  • No.

  • Aren't we blatantly resisting and betraying God?

  • Yes.

  • This fellowship is really enlightening.

  • Absolutely.

  • Changlin, open the door!

  • It's the neighborhood committee!

  • The neighborhood committee!

  • - What? Who is it? - Quick! Everyone go hide in the back!

  • Keep it down. Hurry! Hurry! Let's not so much noise, quite.

  • Changlin, open up!

  • The chairs!

  • No, no, no. Careful! Careful!

  • I forget, I forget.

  • Director Wei.

  • Changlin, what on earth is going on?

  • I didn't hear you first.

  • You've had visitors, haven't you?

  • A few friends came over for a bit, they're gone now.

  • They're gone? Yeah.

  • What kind of friends were they?

  • Believers, weren't they?

  • Some brothers and sisters from the church. They came to visit my mother.

  • I thought you quit the church and started having home gatherings.

  • No one's here.

  • Would you look at my cat's timing?

  • Changlin, staying with Three-Self is the right choice.

  • If you start holding private gatherings at home, that's against the law.

  • That's right.

  • OK, let's go.

  • No need to see us out.

  • They're gone.

  • It's not safe to hold gatherings here. Let's find somewhere else.

  • How about my house?

  • Sure.

  • - Everyone leave separately. - Stay safe.

  • Take care.

  • See you.

  • Zhiheng, in the years you've been gone,

  • you've come to understand a lot!

  • How do you see things so clearly?

  • Yeah.

  • I didn't dare tell you before.

  • But now you've seen Three-Self for what it is, so I can tell you.

  • In the last couple years, I've accepted Almighty God.

  • You believe in Eastern Lightning?

  • Yes, and I came back to share the good news with you and everyone.

  • Well, look at you! Come tell us all of it.

  • As believers, we all await the Lord's coming, but how should we receive Him?

  • We need to listen for the Holy Spirit's words to the churches.

  • It says in Revelations,

  • How many times is that repeated?

  • Um, 7 times.

  • Why is it repeated so many times?

  • To remind us that the key to receiving the Lord is to listen for God's voice.

  • Come on.

  • That's so true.

  • - This really is new light. - It is.

  • Stop, stop!

  • Everyone look happier. Try to put your hearts into it, OK?

  • It's almost National Day, officials will be by to see us perform.

  • If we look miserable, we'll spoil the National Day mood?

  • So let's spoil it then! I'm done singing!

  • Why are we doing this?

  • Come on, let's just make it good enough.

  • I still have work to do at home.

  • Yeah.

  • OK, OK, we'll do it just one last time, just once more.

  • Come on

  • - Let's just get it over with. - Come on, the last time.

  • - Why are we doing this? - OK, ready

  • - Thanks be to God! - These words are wonderful!

  • That's right.

  • Yes, That's exactly right!

  • Wherever we do hear the voice of God, haven't we received the Lord?

  • Right.

  • Waiting for the Lord before,

  • we only listened to the pastors and elders, didn't know to listen for the Lord's voice.

  • Yeah.

  • How could we have been so foolish and ignorant?

  • - Yes. I agree. -Yeah, that's how it is.

  • It's alright.

  • So what else did they say?

  • They said

  • most Three-Self church pastors are Communist Party agents,

  • and that they're established by the Communist Party, not by God.

  • People like Brother Meng and Sister Feng are most important co-workers,

  • and give regular offerings.

  • We would sustain a huge loss if they left the church!

  • - Thank God. - Amen!

  • - Amen! - Thanks be to God!

  • These words have so much weight!

  • Bad news! The police are here!

  • - What? The police? - The police are here? Now what?

  • - What should we do? - How did they find us?

  • Alright, don't panic.

  • - What are you doing? This is a private residence. - An illegal religious gathering was reported.

  • Why did you hit him?

  • Now get on the ground!

  • - Hurry! This way! This way! - My shoe! My shoe!

  • Come on!

  • My goodness, that was terrifying!

  • Who would be so awful as to report us?

  • How horrible! They'll get what they deserve.

  • It's safer in the church.

  • Alright, let's go.

  • If Meng Changlin comes back, tell him to come to the station!

  • The police are looking everywhere for you.

  • Go hide out in our hometown.

  • If anyone violates church rules again, and receives strangers without permission,

  • especially Eastern Lightning people, or dares to listen to their sermons,

  • don't blame me for being harsh!

  • The moment you're found out, you'll be expelled!

  • These last few days,

  • Pastor Xue has been forbidding us from investigating the true way,

  • and from having contact with people from Eastern Lightning.

  • He said that anyone who does will be expelled.

  • Everyone feels constrained now, and no one dares to investigate.

  • Almighty God's words are invaluable.

  • Yeah.

  • We live in such a prosperous, democratic, civilized, and harmonious country,

  • and freely worship God in such a stable social environment.

  • I'm so grateful for this. This is God blessing China!

  • Amen!

  • So, we must love country and Church, and glorify God,

  • and obey the Central Committee.

  • We must contribute to the goals of the 19th National People's Congress,

  • and pray for the strength and prosperity of the nation and the health of all of our people.

  • Amen!

  • Come on, workday's over!

  • OK.

  • For you, it's 100. Here you go.

  • - OK, bye. - See you next time.

  • It's our turn now.

  • Director Shi.

  • No need.

  • Take it.

  • Pastor Xue,

  • holding the National Day performance in your church

  • is a very significant event.

  • Indeed.

  • Do you know what this means?

  • It means that our Party's sinicization of Christianity policy

  • is more and more welcomed by the people.

  • Where the people's hearts go, there go we.

  • It also reflects most believers' love and genuine support for our Party.

  • The bureau chief, Mr. Ma, considers the ceremony at your church to be very important.

  • I hope you know you cannot let him down in this.

  • Of course not.

  • I promise you,

  • the ceremony will go off without a hitch.

  • As it should.

  • Obeying and following the Party is the only thing you should do.

  • Amen!

  • - Amen! - Thanks be to God!

  • Where's Xiao Chen?

  • - Come on! Hurry up! - Coming! I'm coming!

  • - We're waiting for you! - I'm here! I'm here!

  • Get ready

  • Pastor Xue, this is the program.

  • We start with the anthem, followed by this dance, then practicing here.

  • Then there is a choral performance of "Always With the Party."

  • Then, we have crosstalk and comedy skits,

  • and last, the chorus will sing "Party, My Dearest Mother."

  • If you'd like any changes at all, please let us know.

  • Let's move "Party, My Dearest Mother" up to here,

  • and put "Always With the Party" at the end, for the finale.

  • Of course, I'll change it right away.

  • Alright!

  • Is everything safe?

  • Safe so far.

  • Brother Xiang and the rest are inside. Go on in.

  • Amen!

  • This is wonderful!

  • - Thanks be to God! - I love that passage.

  • Let's read more of Almighty God's words.

  • OK.

  • - Thanks be to God! - Thank God!

  • These words are the truth.

  • - Wonderful. - Thank God!

  • - Did you hear? - These words are the truth.

  • - Come on. - I'll dig in there. Looks great.

  • - This is wonderful. - Delicious!

  • Braised meatball with brown sauce. Try it.

  • It was great!

  • - This is all very good. - Cooking's fantastic.

  • Help yourself!

  • Thanks be to the Lord!

  • All of you have been working very hard on our rehearsals.

  • It's nothing.

  • The Religious Affairs Bureau is happy with our work.

  • To the success of tomorrow's performance. Let's make it happen!

  • Yes.

  • That's right. Let's make it happen!

  • Cheers.

  • Let's sing a hymn of God's words together.

  • - Great. - OK.

  • It's "Come to Zion With Praising," we learned a couple days ago.

  • Great.
