In the previous episode, I explored with everyone on the topic of folk customs and their taboos. I had also mentioned about ancestral worship. Ancestral worship is a very sensitive topic because some people think that we do not worship our ancestors after we have become Christians. They will say that “Christians, who believe in Jesus, do not want their ancestors” and in doing so, Christians have lost their Chinese identity. Actually, all these are misinterpretations. We need to know the true reasons and the motives for ancestral worship.
Today, in episode 6, we look at the last section of the second milestone - Bethel. We’re focusing on ‘Trials and the Believer’ and ‘Purified to Serve’.
How many times have you experienced that as we begin to connect with God and build a deeper relationship with Him, there are times when we hit a wall? Something may happen in our lives that will cause us to lose our equilibrium, and we become troubled and disturbed. Those who experience God at Bethel begin to understand these disturbances in a new light, and to see our struggles in the way that God does.
