Today, we have heard all kinds of sad news, such as the fires in Australia, the locust plague in East Africa, the COVID-19 which is related to human unhealthy habits, etc. Even the earth is no longer so blue as it has been when comparing satellite images of the earth taken in 1979 and 2020. Behind this lies human greed and ignorance.
Glory Media Entertainment Inc., co-founded by Christian musician Shu Fang (Mr. Frank. S), has recently created "Fear of Nature", a new public service video that is interspersed with images of dance and natural scenes to call on people's reverence for nature.
Shu Fang is the composer of the popular Chinese song "Xiao Fang". In the 1990s, the song "Xiao Fang" was created by him, and its singer Li Chunbo became famous. Shu composed "A Family Book", "A Love Is Waiting" and other popular songs as well. After becoming a Christian, he devoted himself to the production of original Gospel music, film and television. Afterwards, the ministry of Glory Media was founded.
As mentioned in the MV,
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalms 19:1)
"He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding." (Jeremiah 51:15)
We live on a beautiful earth. This is the beautiful world of our Heavenly Father. God created the universe, all things on earth, nature, and human beings. God said to mankind "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." However, the fallen humans have lost their fear and hurt not only each other but also the beautiful nature.
Fear God, o mankind! Be in awe of nature! This is wisdom.
Nature ran in harmony with countless beautiful elves, mountains, streams, birds and fish, until one day, ignorance and greed occupied the hearts of human beings. People wantonly destroy and slaughter, one after another, resulting in the fragile earth on the verge of collapse. Are you the last murderer? Cherish nature, and do not be a murderer!
"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope." (Romans 8:19-20)

Throughout the ages, Christians have laid a profound foundation for contemporary believers. The early church preserved and shared sacred texts, ensuring the Bible's survival and accessibility for future generations. Missionaries ventured into unchartered territories, spreading the faith and fostering intercultural exchanges. They used the technology and resources available to them at the time, from Roman roads to reach new communities, to the Gutenberg Press to produce Bibles. These efforts collectively allow us, as Christians today, to continue the mission of making disciples.
The platform in the film mirrors our world, with its hierarchical structure, stark resource distribution, and fierce competition. People are often quick to ignore others’ needs to secure their interests.
