2 Timothy 2:9 proclaims, “The word of God is not bound.” Many try to bind it, but the word of God always breaks free! Today, in more than 70 countries around the world, governments are attempting to “bind” the word. Few governments are seeking an outright ban on Christianity. Instead, they are seeking to reshape ...
中国基督徒律师李柏光殉道两周年与他未公开的音频
殉道者之声（南北韩）—— VOMK为纪念中国基督徒律师李白光殉难两周年，公布了一段视频，他乘坐巴士去往乡村地区为老百姓维权之前，把《圣经》以赛亚书35章录制成他自己的经文诗歌。 VOMK代表贤淑·弗利（Foley Hyun Sook）说： “李柏光是一位在国际上知名的中国人权律师，于2018年2月因可疑原因去世，享年49岁。中国政府对外宣称李柏光的去世是由于肝部疾病，可是他生前从不喝酒抽烟，我们和其他人在他去世前不久见到他时，他的健康状态良好。” 中国当局拒绝了国际组织验尸的要求，并快速对律师的遗体进行火化。贤淑代表指出，李律师并不是唯一一位死于所谓肝病疾病的中国人权律师。 图片取自 chinachange.org 李柏光律师2004年与贵州当地村民的合影。 VOMK的中国事工伙伴报告称，2017年10月，李柏光在浙江省被绑架，遭到殴打，威胁他放弃为被政府征用土地的农民维权。 李柏光是一位独特的公众人物，因为他同时帮助中国的地下基督徒与朝鲜的地下基督徒， 李柏光生前曾为VOMK在中国长白地区的事工伙伴——朝鲜族牧师韩忠烈牧师的家人做代理律师，韩忠烈牧师在2016年4月遭到暗杀殉道。 图片取自cnn.com 李柏光律师与时任美国总统的乔治·布什 李柏光由于受到布什总统的会见并与其他政治领袖的合影，而为人们所知。但实际上，李柏光关注于遭受迫害的底层人士，他经常不辞辛苦地搭乘几天的巴士车奔波于中国的各个地区为民众维权。因着他的大部分时间都花在旅途上，他会以唱歌的形式背记圣经的章节。因此我们把李柏光所编曲的圣经其中一首拿出来配上他的图片和文字，以纪念这位主内的弟兄，他爱神所爱，惜神所惜，饱受逼迫和忽视的人们。 观看VOMK制作的李柏光视频请点击此处: https://www.youtube.com/watch?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&" class="__youtube_prefs__ no-lazyload" title="YouTube player" allow="fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll="">

How Pastors Become Spies…and How to Stop It
Korean American pastor and former North Korean prisoner Kim Dong Chul admitted in an interview published this week that he had been spying for South Korea and the United States. By all accounts he was not a spy merely masquerading as a pastor. He was a pastor who was actively engaged in Christian ministry to ...
Are you sure you want a prophet’s reward?
In Matthew 10:41 Jesus says, “He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet receives a prophet’s reward.” A prophet’s reward. Our eyes and mind go right past that phrase without thinking too much about it. We hear “prophet’s reward” and think, “big reward”—something really good. So in our mind the passage becomes ...
“How Would I Respond to Persecution?” is not a hypothetical question
After hearing the story of Richard Wurmbrand or other Christians who have been tortured for Christ, we sometimes ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was in that situation? Would I be faithful?” But that is the wrong question because we actually are in that situation. It is the same principle as when we ...
Martyrdom precedes persecution, not the other way around
We must learn how the Bible tells stories of persecution and make sure our modern accounts reflect biblical theology. Unfortunately, these days many accounts of Christian persecution are told like news stories designed to advance the narrative that Christians are increasingly in danger and in need of the prayers of other Christians and the protection …
