Okay, don't think I've gone off the rocker. Just venting. I finally started reading a book called "Back to Jerusalem," a book about the house churches in China. They know how to live Christianity the way it was meant to be lived. They don't have all the material goods to get in their way of living a simple life- just loving God and people. They live the real kind of communism- not government legislated but love inspired. They get persecuted like crazy, torture, beatings you name it, but they have the real joy inside that won't die no matter what comes their way.
I felt so ashamed about how proud and arrogant I can be thinking I'm all that. but you know what I realized I think it's actually harder to be a Christian, a real Christian in North America. There are so many stupid distractions calling us every way that we can't hear the voice of the Father God. I just wanna live life the way I was born to live it under His wings, found in His truth and love.

Interesting. What else have you found that differs between them and the Western-version?
Well, one thing in China there are 14 year old girls who go from village to village preaching about Jesus. The Chinese people let their young people be radically involved in what's happening. They preach because they really believe the stuff. They're seeing God do miraculous healings and even raising the dead. The book talked about one pastor's baby dying and God raising her up. When one sees stuff like that, you can't be quiet anymore about your beliefs. Let it come here eh?
