OUT OF A SUITCASE INTO ALL THE WORLD
Part 2 – Reflections and Applications
Psalm 40:5
“Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts which are toward us; they cannot be recounted in order to You; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”
Out of a suitcase and into all the world – Part 2
Language is one of the great barriers to the spread of the gospel. Now God has allowed us to have this remarkable gift of AI. Yes, I believe it can be seen as God’s gift. Through it, sermons in English can now be translated into many languages.
This story is not my story, and I do not write it to glorify myself. It is all for the glory of God—how He takes a broken vessel, restores it, and then uses it to reach thousands of people around the world.
What started as a few tapes in a suitcase has now spread around the world. It is my greatest privilege to be a son of the King. Even more than that, I am His servant, and He is the One who does all these amazing things.
I have no formal Bible college experience. The Lord gives me His words; it is the Holy Spirit who opens the Word of God to me. I have been privileged to sit under several anointed pastors, such as David Green, Richard Scholes, and Mark Johnstone.
Many people reading this may think they are too small or insignificant to be used by God.
I am small and insignificant—but God used me, and He can use you as well.
It is not because I am anything. But my God is everything.
Please do not sit on your hands. Get involved in God’s work. Let Him use you. Seek Him and ask, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
This may cost you. When I had my own tape library, I bought the tapes and people borrowed them. Service for God will cost you—it may cost money, time, or even your reputation.
The Word of God is precious. To the believer, it is like a gold nugget—more precious than gold and sweeter than honey. Amen.
The Word of God is the greatest agent of change in the world. It is a sharp sword that transforms the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
To my Chinese friends: you now have the opportunity to listen to English sermons translated by AI into your own language. My prayer is that these resources will be used to glorify our beautiful and wonderful Redeemer and Lord.
Acts 2:7–12
“And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean?”
On the day of Pentecost, the people said they could hear the wonderful works of God in their own language. It is my passion in “Reach and Teach Devotions” to share in both English and Chinese, so that the gospel can be heard by as many people as possible.
MY MOTTO IS: THE WHOLE GOSPEL FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
AND
THE WHOLE GOSPEL FOR EVERYONE IN CHINA
The WORD goes out.
The WORK goes on.
The WITNESS goes forth.
Onward and upward, my friends.
Be inspired.
God bless you, my beloved friends, for allowing me to share my heart.
Your friend,
Keith
In the story of SermonAudio, the founder Steven Lee was inspired by seeing tapes of sermons lying in a cupboard. I share the same passion. I started my tape library partly because I saw unused tapes in a cupboard.
