Daily Devotion

“The way to save the world is to enlighten the people; and the way to enlighten the people is to publish newspapers. However, newspapers are not meant to guide people astray, but rather to spread the gospel, proclaim the truth, eliminate bad habits, and promote national prosperity and the education of the people.”

Wong Nai Siong · Inaugural address of the Fujian Daily in the late Qing Dynasty (1896)

Scripture

John 8:32 “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Reflection

Huang Naishang advocates using truth to enlighten the people and eliminate bad habits, echoing Jesus' teaching that "truth sets people free." Secular knowledge may provide skills, but only truth from God can break the bonds of ignorance and sin. In this age of information overload, we should examine our hearts: do we absorb daily illusions that bring anxiety, or truths that bring peace? May we always be illuminated by God's word, spreading righteousness and love through our words and deeds, becoming the salt and light of the world.
