Christian Movie "Who Is the Culprit?" (Official Trailer)

INTRODUCTION

    Since it came to power in Mainland China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has been unceasing in its persecution of religious faith. It has frantically arrested and murdered Christians, expelled and abused missionaries operating in China, confiscated and burned countless copies of the Bible, sealed up and demolished church buildings, and tried to eradicate all house churches. A great number of Christians in house churches have been arrested and persecuted.

   This documentary describes the real experience of a Chinese Christian, Zhou Haijiang who was arrested by the CCP government, tortured, and died from his mistreatment because of his belief in God and performance of duty. After Zhou Haijiang's death, his family was also monitored, threatened, and terrified by the CCP. They were not only unable to get justice for the deceased, but were thrown into disarray by the CCP's persecution. This exquisitely-shot documentary attempts to recreate what really happened at the time, and provides a profound reflection of the flagrant encroachment of the religious beliefs and human rights of Chinese Christians. It is a window to understanding the true lives of Chinese Christians and Christian families, as well as a reflection—rarely seen in recent years—of the experiences and emotions of Chinese Christians who have been persecuted as a result of their faith.

A piece of terrible news that the family could not accept

A time of utter grief in the morgue

The beginning of a nightmare that had no end

A true story that happened to a Chinese Christian family

Gospel Movie clip "Waiting" (3) - Only Those Who Follow God's Will Are Able to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven

    What kind of person will be raptured into the kingdom of heaven? The Lord Jesus said, "Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). But some people believe that following the heavenly Father's will just means being faithful to the Lord's name, serving Him diligently, and enduring the suffering of bearing the cross, and that if we do these things, we need only to watch and wait for the Lord's second coming like this to be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. Do these ideas accord with the Lord's requirements? This clip will let you know.

Believing Rumors Led to a Lifelong Regret

Gospel Movie clip "Waiting" (1) - How Should We Watch and Wait for the Lord's Second Coming?

Storyline:

    Yang Hou'en is a pastor at a house church in China. With his father Yang Shoudao, they have awaited the Lord Jesus to descend from the clouds and take them up into the kingdom of heaven. For this, they diligently worked for the Lord, held fast to His name, and believed that anyone who is not the Lord Jesus descending from the clouds is a false Christ. And so, when they heard the news of the Lord's second coming, they did not listen to it or accept it. They thought that it was best to watch and wait. … While they waited passively, Yang Hou'en's cousin Li Jiayin accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days, and spread the gospel to them. After some intense discussions, Yang Hou'en finally understood the true meaning of "watch and wait," and could see that Almighty God's words are the truth, the w

ay, the life, and these are the voice of the Lord, and Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus that they had waited for so many years …

Once So Foolish, I Have Finally Woken Up Today

I was formerly a preacher of the “Praise Church.” Since May 1999, I had often heard the elders say, “The ‘Eastern Lightning’ is a cult. Those people are together committing adultery. If you don’t obey them, they will cut off your ears, gouge out your eyes, or even cut your flesh into pieces. They will also trick you into going somewhere outside the town and shut you into a basement… These people are very crafty. They specially go to deceive people in various churches. If any stranger comes to our church, we must inspect him and verify his identity. If there is any flaw in it, he must be from the ‘Eastern Lightning.’ Then drive him away immediately…” So, I kept the elders’ “good words” in mind and went around telling the brothers and sisters not to accept the “Eastern Lightning,” and I also told them that it was the deception of Satan. When I myself met the preachers of the “Eastern Lightning,” I refused them all relentlessly, and I even told the brothers and sisters in what harsh ways I treated those preachers and how I drove them away so that they could learn from me. I, being so foolish, did many things resisting Almighty God. In the end, it was under Almighty God’s enlightenment and illumination that I woke up.

Praise Song "For Whom Man Should Live"

For Whom Man Should Live

I

Wasn’t clear for whom man should live. Now I’ve got the answer for it.

I used to live just for myself, seeking only status and fame.

Prayer to God full of fine words, yet holding to my own way in real life.

Faith based upon future and fate, I have no truth or reality.

Rituals and rules, confining my faith; I was left with nothing but emptiness.

Failing to live as a human, I don’t deserve God’s love for me.

II

My heart has been awakened now, telling me I should repay God’s love.

I hate myself for I had no conscience, disobeying God and breaking His heart.

Never have I cared for God’s heart; never was I concerned about His words.

Without conscience, having no sense, how can I be listed as man?

God’s judgment makes me see, I was deeply corrupted by Satan.

Evil, this world, full of traps; truth is what a believer should choose.

O dear God, You love me so, doing all You can to make me saved.

What You’ve done for me, I’ll keep in mind! I will never ever forget.

Care for God’s heart, that’s all my will. I am determined to pursue the truth.

Consuming myself to spend for God, offering myself to repay His love,

offering myself to repay His love.
