As we enjoy the Olympics, there are a few things we need to bear in mind as we watch the "China of Today."
You only see what the Chinese government and the liberal media outlets want you to see. What they are not reporting is far more newsworthy than what they are reporting.
For example, weeks before the games, the government rounded up Christian pastors in the area and threw them in prison. They are not enjoying the games. They are wondering if they will every see their families again on this side of heaven.
When I saw a special on NBC this morning, they showed a correspondent sampling various foods. The line of workers in government-issued uniforms had no choice in the matter. They were enlisted by the government, they were told what to wear, where to stand, to smile at all times, and to do it all for the love of a government which oppresses its people and encourages the murder and/or disregard of its little girls.
So, when you watch the Olympics, enjoy the athletes. Enjoy their hard work coming to fruition. But, by all means, do not believe the conspiracy of propaganda striving to put a smiling face on Communism.
Finally, pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in China. Pray they will be stronger than we have ever had to be. Pray that they will be effective witnesses in a world of deceit and oppression.
