Le repas chinois

Psalm 2

Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together against the Lord
and against his Anointed One.

"Let us break their chains" they say
"and throw off their fetters"

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath ,
saying
"I have installed my King
on Zion, my holy hill.
I will proclaim the decree of the
Lord;

He said to me"You are' my Son,
today I have become your Father.
Ask of me
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
You will rule them with an iron
sceptre,
you will dash them to pieces like
pottery"

Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear
and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your
way,
for his wrath can flare up in a
moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

After the lovely Chinese food, we all went into the meeting room, to hear from a representative of "Open Doors"about the work in China, the persecution of the Christians, and how the church there is growing incredibly..inspite of the governments efforts to stamp it out....
