Why Didn’t Teacher of the Law Gamaliel Follow the Lord Jesus?

By Xiaoding

    Such an incident is recorded in Acts in the Bible: Around A.D. 35, under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, the apostles of the Lord Jesus preached His salvation everywhere. At that time, through those apostles the Lord performed many signs and wonders, and thus there were more and more people who believed in and returned to the Lord. Seeing this, the rulers, the scribes, and the high priest bore a grudge against the apostles, and so they sent people to arrest them and were trying to murder them. At this time, there was a person called Gamaliel, who stood up and said, “And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing: But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God” (Acts 5:38–39). Gamaliel said these words to exhort the rulers, the scribes, and the high priest not to act blindly. He said to them that, what came from God shall increase, what came from man shall decrease, and that if what the apostles did came from God but they blindly resisted and condemned them, then they would probably become people who attacked God. The council listened to him, and did not murder the apostles but let them go.

What Do Dead Body Landmarks on Mt. Everest Remind Us Of?

By Yumeng

    I trust everyone is familiar with Mount Everest, which is called the top of the world. Numbers of people view cresting it as their ultimate goal, because that will give them satisfaction and great prestige. Many years, Mount Everest has attracted countless climbers across the world, but in fact, very few have been able to get to the summit. Instead, there are so many people who have lost their lives during the process, some corpses being missing, some being taken down the mountain, and some becoming dead body landmarks.

    On May 21, 2018, a piece of news was blazed that a 35-year-old mountaineer from Japan, who was on his way down Everest after failing in his attempt to reach the top, died due to low body temperature near the second camp of the mountain at an altitude of 6,400 meters. He had tried many times to climb Everest, but every time he ended in failure. In 2012, he even lost nine of his fingers with frost-bite, and so was dubbed as one-fingered mountaineer.
