On April 4, the western press began reporting on a church in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province that was surrounded by thousands of parishioners who were blocking a crew sent to demolish the church. As reported, local officials had initially ordered that the cross be removed from the church, and later said the church was built illegally and had ordered its destruction. The story was a hot topic both inside and outside of China, and has come to be known as The Sanjiang Church Incident.

People often ask me for recommendations of books to read about Christianity and the church in China. There are a lot of books out there; some better than others.

在明尼阿波利斯（Minneapolis）举办的“渴慕神”（Desiring God）牧者大会上，主持人约翰·派博（John Piper）分享了戴德生（Hudson Taylor）的一生，讲题为“戴德生的事奉：活在基督里” 他在开场时提醒我们：“戴德生的生命中有许多荣美之处，值得我们去领略，也能让我们学习如何常在基督里，并领受关于信心、祷告、顺服以及受苦的宝贵功课。” 派博在信息中提出了三点具体的期许，这既是他的目标，也是他的祷告： 戴德生对生命丰盛的追求，与中国内地会（CIM）留下的属灵产业之间有着极深的连结，蕴含着极其珍贵的指引。这份信息与每个人息息相关——特别是你如果正渴慕经历那份“出人意外的平安”（腓立比书四章7节），并期盼生命能突破局限，结出丰盛的果实。这也正是我对这篇信息的期许：愿上帝引领你更深地体会与基督的联合，并激励你为了祂的荣耀，拥有前所未有的勇气去冒险与开拓。 当戴德生写下那句著名的名言：“请放心，照着上帝的方式做上帝的工作，必不会缺少上帝的供应”时，他所指的供应涵盖了所有层面——不仅是资金，也包括健康、信心、平安与力量。这也是我的祷告：愿你能看见并经历生命中全新的可能性——拥有更多的信心、喜乐、平安与爱，以及遵行祂旨意所需的一切资源；哪怕有时候，上帝的旨意是让我们在身無分文中前行。 这一切都源于你与基督的联合。正如戴德生最喜爱的其中一节经文所说：“我的上帝必照祂荣耀的丰富，在基督耶稣里，使你们一切所需用的都充足。”（腓立比书四章19节）因着这份应许，我祈愿你能放下对自身种种不足的焦虑，为了基督的荣耀，勇敢投入某个计划或梦想。在戴德生的生命中，“常在基督里”带出了伟大的行动、冒险、纪律与舍己；而这一切，都由极大的平安与喜乐所支撑。这就是我为大家所做的祷告。 派博随后回顾了戴德生的生平故事，并特别提到： 戴德生一生曾十次往返中国。根据我的计算，他待在海上航行的时间总计约有四、五年之久。这对偶尔在机场遇到延误两小时就焦躁不安的我们来说，或许是个深刻的提醒：他在这世上真的只是个“客旅”。 派博也剖析了那场导向“生命丰盛”的“危机”，并探讨为何这段体验能为他的生命结出如此长存的果子。他归纳出三个原因： 1. 他一生浸透在圣经中，并全然顺服圣经。 2. 他视受苦为上帝的作为，为的是让他与基督的联合更深邃、也更甘甜。 3. 不论是在苦难中，还是在与基督的联合里，他都全然拥抱上帝绝对的良善与主权。 派博在结尾处，留下了一份应许，也提出了一项挑战： 无论上帝是像带领戴德生那样——给你一个足以翻转生命的觉醒时刻，还是随着时间引领你渐渐深耕，都请不要就此满足。要追求保罗在腓立比书二章15节、四章11-14节所展现的，那份不发怨言、无可指责的知足；这既是他在腓立比书第四章的亲身经历，也是他在以弗所书三章19节所发出的祈求：“叫神一切所充满的，充满了你们。” 永远不要停止这份渴慕与追求。如果戴德生今天就在这里，他会对你说：这份全然满足的生命，本就属于你。去支取它，享用它。然后，勇敢追逐那个高举基督的梦想，并为此倾尽所有。 欢迎前往渴慕神(Desiring God)网站，观看或下载本篇信息的完整视频与文字稿。 编者按：本文原为英语；中文版由华源协作团队翻译并编辑。

China's "official" churches (those operating under the auspices of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement) are fairly often associated with terms such as "restrictive," "government-sanctioned," or even "Communist-controlled." Granted, one does not have to look too far within China's religious bureaucracy and its associated policies and practices to find evidence that would justify such notions. Unfortunately, however, the perception of the official church which these labels create tends to mask much of what is actually happening on the ground in TSPM-affiliated churches.

The church in China is often viewed through two prevailing and related paradigms. The "persecuted church" paradigm positions the church and the Chinese government in perpetual opposition to one another, while the "Christian China" paradigm sees Christianity as bringing a new moral order to China and foresees the day when the church will usher in political change.

This article looks at a few key events in the life of Victor Plymire, a pioneer missionary to Tibet in the early 20th century. My prayer is that this brief glimpse into his life will enlarge your view of God so that your faith would be strengthened and you might pursue God with renewed determination. Additionally, I hope that you would see the tremendous value of history and biography for the Christian life and the Church universal.
