COMMUNISM IN CHINA: China Update, Part 3:
We conclude our three-part China series this month with an exploration of the affects of Communism and the struggles facing the current regime.
* * *
The father of Communism in China, Mao Zedong, was born on December 26, 1893. He was raised in a small community called Shaoshan (SE China). Mao’s father was identified as a harsh man who constantly harassed the young Mao and the rest of his family. As soon as he was able, Mao left home and joined the Nationalist army, when in 1911 the Revolution against the last Chinese emperor began.
Mao was introduced to the philosophy of Marxism in a training college located in Changsha and came to command in 1935 as chairman of the Party’s Politburo. He led the communists after the army successfully finished the Revolution by defeat-ing the Nationalists. As a result, in 1949, the leader of the Nationalist Party, Chiang Kaishek fled to Taiwan with other members of the Nationalist Party and formed the Republic of China.
NAN'S CORNER: Reflections of His Image Spiritual Warfare
King's High Way Monthly Article
Continuing our series on Reflections of His Image, a very important part of “abiding in Christ” is the ability to recognize the attacks of the enemy and to know what exactly to do. The Lord tells us in Psalm 91 that if we abide, “He will keep us from the snare of the fowler and no evil will befall us; He will deliver us and set us on high because we have known His Name.” The Psalm says the reason He promises to do these things is because we have set our love upon Him and are abiding in Him. (Matthew 7:16; 1 John 1:5-6)
As we abide in Him on a daily basis, however, we’ll find ourselves encountering the enemy more than ever before. This occurs because we are beginning to reflect Christ’s image in all we do and the enemy is mad. We thus become his “mark” and his “target.” Consequently, part of our worship time with the Lord must be concerned with spiritual warfare. Luke 10:19 tells us: “Behold I give unto you power over all the power of the enemy and nothing, by any means, shall hurt you.”
