A church in Jiangsu Province held a Sunday service with the theme, "Chinese Church Bible Day".
In Xiangcheng Church, Suzhou City, Rev. Wang Xiaoming gave a sermon entitled "God-Breathed Scriptures" on December 11, encouraging believers to rely on God and His word which is a lamp of their feet and a light of their path.
During the service, six Christians from different ethnic groups and regions, wearing Tang suits and cheongsams, recited Psalm 121 in Suzhou, Henan, Hokkien, Changzhou, Chongqing, Dali, and Bai dialects respectively. They integrated the truth of the Bible with dialects in different regions.
According to the Suzhou CC&TSPM, "On Bible Day, Christians are urged to pay more attention to His word, to strengthen the foundation of their faith, and to use the Bible's authority to resist heresy and cults".
In the early 1990s, CCC&TSPM set the second Sunday (including Saturday) in December as Bible Day for Chinese churches.
