潞西福音堂/A gospel church in a village at the border town


在德宏等边境证的这几天很闲,今天做出租车去了潞西的一个小村庄里,一路上,都是拜偶像的,树里供树神,山上供山神,灶上供灶神。可是进了村,惊喜的看见一座福音堂,十字架高高立在屋顶,如同照亮了一片迷信的土地。不认识主时,觉得什么都可以拜,什么都可以成仙,认识了造物的主,一切被造之物都要俯伏敬拜!【外邦人的偶像,是金的,银的,是人手所造的。有口却不能言,有眼却不能看。有耳却不能听。有鼻却不能闻。有手却不能摸。有脚却不能走。有喉咙也不能出声。造他的要和他一样。凡靠他的也要如此。(诗篇115篇)】
While waiting for my border permit in De Hong province in Yunnan,I got some free time to visit around. Sunday morning,a taxi surprisingly took me to this gospel church.Along the way,I saw all kinds of idols at the street,tree god,moutain god,money god...Before i knew the Lord,everything can be regarded as god,but after knowing a God of all creations,all creations have to bow down and sing praise to the Creator![Why do the nations say,"Where is their God?" Our God is in heaven;he does whatever pleases him.But their idols are silver and gold,made by the hands of men.They have mouths, but cannot speak,eyes, but they cannot see;they have ears, but cannot hear,noses, but they cannot smell;they have hands, but cannot feel,feet, but they cannot walk;nor can they utter a sound with their throats.Those who make them will be like them,and so will all who trust in them.(Psalms 115)]This video is not so clear,because i took it with my cellphone, however,a very nice song sung by a group of ethnic minority--Jingpaw yong people.
