The red car is beautiful,is this your car?
You told me you are living in a middlle town,I can't make sence of it.
middle town means the size or something else?
you were born in Beijing,I heard the biggest Macdonald is in Beijing.
I don't like American fast food ,if I eat it three meals a day,it'll make
me want to vomit.
You have been staying in US for five years,do you intend to go back
to Beijing,or you are used to the style of American life

Sorry, it should be called "medium-sized city". [em01][em01][em01][em01]
The biggest Macdonald was demolished several years ago, I think. It was at the conner of Wangfujing street. I went there in 1992 with friends. Quite nice place.
I think I am used to the life style here. Eventually I think I will go back to China.
We have home church which has 20-30 people and we are very close friends. Except Sunday teaching (we call that central teaching), we have bible study once every 2 weeks.
Cheers.

get together.I am eager to know all.

Home church is also called " house church" in China.
My Church is a home church based church. In another word, the major ministry work is done in home church. People study bible together and help each other. It is a very strong group which make our 4000 people's church strong too. One reason to keep small is that people can know each other well, disciple each other, also we can keep closer relationship with new Christians or even ono-belivers in a small group. These years, I witnessed the growth of our group in the body of Jesus Christ.
We have sveral home church leaders which teach each time. unfortunately  my wife and I are the only Cinese in that group, but we are getting more chinese friends to come.
Cheers.

To make a long story short,a home church is a smaller church
belongs to a big one with almost 4000 people.Maybe your
home church is near your community,so you know each other well.
How I wish I could be one of your group!Is that possible?
I'd like to share the happiness and sadness with you.
Could you tell me the town you live in?In which state?

I will ask people in my homechurch.
I do have different thinking about the "narrow door" you mentioned above. I think He is ready to enter everyone's heart. He is standing in front of door knocking. What we can do is to ask him to come into our heart. It is so easy. He does not care who we are and what we did in the past.  He loves every one of us because we are His children.
Cheers.

Thanks for your explanation.
The door is in your heart,it is up to you whether to open it or not.
He is standing in front of the door knocking.But sometimes you're
too busy to hear,or you are afraid of opening the door to welcome
him,will he keep knocking?
I have another question.Peter was one of Jesus' disciples,Jesus predicted
Peter's denial,after arresting,Jesus was brought into the high priest's
house,Peter followed and sat among them before fire.Why did Peter
deny three times before the cock crowed?
Looking forward to your replay.
Thanks.

You are absolutely right. People always reject Him, like Peter. However He is so patient and loving that He will accept every one to enter his kingdom.
You asked a great question, I will get back to you later. Thank you.

I received your pm,thank you.
When I read "Old Testament" I got confused.Abram was the father
of Israelites,God promised Canaan as promised land to him and his
offspring,they had their own religion---Judaism,Moses' Ten Commandments
was the soul of it.so I think "old testament"is the bible of Judaism.
After the birth of Jesus,Christianity was born,so "new testament"
is the bible of Christianity.Am I right?
What's the connection between them?

Thank you very much for this excellent question.
talking about Judiam and Jewish, we need to know that thereis a distinction between the Jewish people and the regligion of Judaism. Not all Jewish people follow the religion of Judaism.
They consider Judaism "our" religion for those Jewish, in constrast, most jewish people consider Christianity to be "their" religion. Who are "their" people? They are non-Jews, also called gentiles.
The old testment portion of Bible is the Scripture of Judaism, some Jewish people refer the term "Hebrew Bible". Even through many Jews do not consider the Old testment to be the Word of God and inspired, it is generally accored respect as part of Jewish tradition and history. There are other books, such as Talmud, considered by Orthodox Jews to possess divinf authority. The Talmud consists of the Mishnah and the Gemera. The Mishnah consists in large part of legal rulings.
Christianity consider the Old restment and New testment are equally important and the Bible is only Scripture of Cristianity. the soul of the Christianity is sin-salvation-savior.
Some major different between Judaism and Christianity are:
1: Christians believe in 3 gods (trinity, father-son-holy spirit)  but jews believe in one god.
2. Jewes do not believe in salvation.
Putting it together: Judaism like other religions reject  "Jesus came to shed his blood to save us from our sins and be our savior".  

I hope I answered your question.

About your penpal, I will PM you some information later.
Take care.
