I run along the beach in the evening with my HTC Desire. With my new mobile phone, I am online 24 hours. Whenever I got new messages, emails, and chat messages, the phone rings with music. While mediating in the beach, I was attracted by the following article shared by a former sister from Hong Kong church. I can't help praying for workers in Foxconn and Guo as I have done before. I felt light and hope are coming through this tragedy. I hope God will open Guo's heart to let him see workers' true situation and suffering.

There is no such thing as God purposefully made suicides and gain glory through this. However, in every disaster, people can turn to God and God's glory can be revealed through all the sufferings and tragedies.
There is no evidence showing that the two pastors are preaching wrong gospel.
The article didn't mention anything like saving the business at all but saying that Gospel will be spread in those businesses. The main message here is saving people's soul.
The reason I pasted the message here is requesting for prayer for Foxconn rather than for criticism. Because I love China and want the workers there to be saved. The article shed lights in my heart. I have being thinking the situation of those workers for several days and suddenly light came through this article. I was encouraged by the article.

Even there is a hope for Foxconn, there is nothing wrong for that. If Gospel is preached in 三鹿,in many other chinese national industry and saved them, I didn't see any conflicting there! God loves Guo and the workers the same way. If through prayer, a worker's position and salary is guaranteed, we can say that he has a faith toward God. God shows his mercy and kindness toward this work. However, if Guo's business is saved, we can still say that he has a faith toward God. God shows his mercy and kindness toward Guo by saving his business.
There is no conflicting between these two. The sun shines the just and unjust.

I agree with you about the feeling for those words.
well, what you can say about those words! People are not perfect. If you went to the country area, many Christians said even radical words than this. However, their hearts are good. It's just like we couldn't criticize our children's mistakes all the time when they just start learning.
You have to tolerate and accept their mistakes. I believe if the author is here, he will take your advice and change the word.
People learn through mistakes. When I started praying here, I was picked out by non-christians all the time for my harsh words. However, I grow through this kind of experience. I should thank them for their tolerance for me.
I agree with you that non-Christians should forgive Christians saying harsh words. In fact they have learned to develop tolerance towards those radical words and understand that it is natural part of their religion. Non-Christians still love Christians as human beings, no matter where they say we are going and where they say they are going.
In Foxconn's case, we all agree that the workers deserve better working condition, deserve not only pay raise but also spiritual care. But if you have a true loving heart you can see "save their soul" is also radical religious expression. There are 40-50 thousands of workers, don't you think of their own religion, their moral and life value? Does low education level and working in Foxconn necessarily mean their souls are unsaved? Does the author, or even you, turely has equal respect to them as human being?

When I say souls to be saved, I mean those who want to be saved. There is a choice all the time. If you think you need to be saved, then you are those mentioned. If you think there is no need for you to be saved, so, this does not applies to you. We pray for those who want to be saved and who want to have faith in their life.
When we pray for souls to be saved, we also mean praying for those top management team including Guo. I don't think there is any conflicting here. The truth is, if you are critical by nature, you criticize all the time.
There is no need to argue who is better than whom as long as you think you are happy where you are.
