In the final episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff concludes his teaching on the Parable of the Sower from Mark Chapter 4, reviewing the four types of ground which represent the conditions of our hearts. Jesus called this parable foundational. By understanding this parable, we can connect with other biblical truths.The Word of God, as seed, faces hurdles in bearing fruit due to hardened hearts, offense from tribulation, and life's distractions such as worry and the deceitfulness of riches. Satan's deliberate strategy is to steal God's Word from our hearts. Be quick to repent from sin to keep our hearts soft, guard against offense that opens the door for the enemy, and cast our cares upon the Lord. When we cultivate good ground—hearts that hear, accept, and act on God's Word—we can expect a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold return on God's precious seed.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the twelfth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches on the parable of the sower, explaining the four types of ground where God's Word can be sown and Satan's specific strategies to steal the seed from each type of heart.The wayside ground represents hard-packed soil, similar to how sin hardens our hearts through deception. Satan steals the Word immediately by sowing confusion and lack of understanding. Stony ground refers to those who initially receive God's Word with joy but don't allow it to take root. Satan attacks through tribulation and persecution, leading to offense and causing them to abandon the seed. His primary tactic is to uproot good seed and replace it with bitterness. Thorny ground is choked by the cares of this world. Even powerful seeds cannot produce a fruitful harvest when competing with worries and worldly distractions.Guard your heart against the enemy's tactics by becoming good ground, soil that receives God's Word, takes deep root, and produces an abundant harvest of thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In this powerful episode of the Step Up podcast, Pastor Chris Kouba and host Josh Thomas dive into the everyday decisions that shape a man's character. Using a real-life car repair dilemma and the biblical story of Joseph in Genesis 39, they unpack what integrity truly looks like when no one is watching—and when doing the right thing actually costs you something.This episode outlines three critical questions every man must ask to evaluate his character, influence, and spiritual resilience. From handling temptation, to stewarding influence, to standing firm when obedience feels expensive, this conversation is a timely challenge for men who want to honor God in both the big moments and the quiet Tuesdays of life.If you're ready to grow, lead well, and pursue holiness in a culture that celebrates shortcuts, this episode will equip and encourage you.To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.  Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

It's always a pleasure to welcome back Dr. Shane Enete—Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University, founder of Biola's Financial Planning Program, and creator of The Money Storybook Bible Podcast. His creative work helps parents disciple their children in biblical stewardship by weaving financial lessons into retold Bible stories.When asked what inspired the podcast, Dr. Enete explained that the idea grew from a common question he receives: “How can I teach my kids about money?” His realization was simple yet profound—the Bible already does this. “The Bible talks about money more than almost any other topic, and it's filled with stories for all ages,” he said. “So I thought, what if I just told these stories to my kids in a way that helped them see themselves in the story and learn about money at the same time?”Stewardship as an Expression of LoveFor Dr. Enete, the goal goes far beyond teaching budgeting or saving. “Stewardship is one of the greatest opportunities we have to express our love for Jesus,” he said. “When we share, we're loving Him and others.”He hopes parents and children alike will see money not as a source of stress or status, but as an opportunity for love, wisdom, and worship. “I want kids to understand the dangers of debt and discontentment,” he added, “but even more, I want them to know that Jesus is everything—and that money can be used to love Him.”Storytime with a PurposeEach podcast episode features Dr. Enete reading to his own children, with interactive moments that bring the stories to life. “We start with fun icebreakers, like a ‘Would you rather' question, then read a Bible story together,” he explained. “Afterward, I ask questions to help them reflect, and we finish with a hands-on activity that reinforces the lesson.”One of Dr. Enete's favorite family moments came from a story about Solomon. “I asked my kids which world they'd rather live in—one where they're rich but don't know Jesus, or one where they have Jesus but not the riches. They didn't even hesitate—they chose Jesus. That's when I knew these lessons were hitting home.”The Story of Lydia: Business as MinistryOne memorable episode, Purple Snail Robes, retells the story of Lydia from Acts 16. In Dr. Enete's version, Lydia initially wants to give away her wealth to follow Paul, but he helps her see that her business can be a ministry in itself.“Sometimes God wants us to serve Him right where we are,” Paul tells her. “When you share what you have and do your work with skill and kindness, you're showing people who Jesus is.”Dr. Enete shared that Lydia's story was inspired by the idea of Gospel Patrons—those who use their resources to fuel God's work. “Lydia was one of the first gospel patrons,” he said. “I wanted kids to see that our work and business can glorify God. Plus,” he laughed, “the fact that purple dye came from smashed snails makes it extra fun for kids!”The Story of Nicodemus: Costly GenerosityAnother powerful episode, 75 Pounds of Spices, reimagines Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus as they prepare Jesus' body for burial—with a young girl named Abigail watching nearby. The story illustrates generosity that is both courageous and costly, as Joseph donates his tomb and Nicodemus buys an extravagant amount of burial spices.Even little Abigail joins in, offering her treasured blue necklace to honor Jesus. “That moment shows that no act of generosity is too small,” said Dr. Enete. “It's a picture of giving that flows from love—something children can grasp in a tangible way.”Free Resources for FamiliesTo help parents extend the lessons at home, Dr. Enete created a free activity book that pairs with the podcast. It includes fun exercises, badges, and a certificate of completion—each tied to key money principles like giving, saving, and contentment.You can find the podcast and resources at WholeHeartFinances.com.At the heart of The Money Storybook Bible Podcast is a simple but transformative message: Jesus is the true treasure. Teaching kids about money isn't just about dollars and cents—it's about helping them see that every financial decision can be an act of love for God and others.As Dr. Enete put it, “More than anything, I want kids to know that money isn't the goal—knowing and loving Jesus is.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've been diagnosed with a terminal illness and care for my four-year-old grandson. I have $100,000 in life insurance, $50,000 in retirement savings, and $20,000 in cash. How can I set up a trust and invest wisely to provide for him after I'm gone? Also, does the guardian I choose also control the trust, or must they be named separately as trustee or beneficiary?I've seen ads claiming thieves can steal your home's title unless you buy special insurance.

We often don't realize we're hitting burnout until... well, we're burnt out. That in and of itself can take a toll on our walk with God, our families, calling, relationships, health, ministries, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being to name a few. In this episode we break down the traps of burnout, how to gain godly perspective when we're in the midst of it and how to learn how to take breaks. I hope this episode brings encouragement to you on your walk. Take heart, if you seek God with all of your heart He WILL guide you through!Worship Fill My Cup

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Tom Schreiner to discuss “The Justice and Goodness of God.” Dr. Schreiner is an Associate Dean for the School of Theology The post The Justice and the Goodness of God appeared first on Preaching and Preachers Institute.

This episode explores the growing movement of co-vocational ministry, a model that intentionally integrates one's everyday work with missional engagement in both local churches and global contexts. Dr. Brad Brisco joins the conversation to unpack the theology of work, clarify the differences between bi-vocational and co-vocational ministry, and share why this long-term approach can strengthen church planting, missionary sustainability, and missional imagination.

Learn how breaking out of your comfort zone and embracing new perspectives can transform your leadership and help dismantle bias in your church.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Erin Devers in Ep. 282, The Cost of Bias in the Church:“One of the strategies for reducing bias is to go bigger, to widen your perspective.”THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:People tend to hold onto their biases because they find comfort and safety in the familiar.Leaders confuse discomfort with genuine danger, which prevents them from widening their perspectives.Leaders can intentionally broaden their outlook by seeking out diverse voices and saying yes to experiences that feel scary.Leaders maintain vibrancy and effectiveness by practicing humility and curiosity rather than clinging to expertise.Interacting with people from different backgrounds energizes leaders and equips them to lead change more confidently.Send me a text!

How did the universe begin, or did it even have a beginning point? At least seven schools of thought exist in various religions in this world. They cannot all be right. Only one view is true at the expense of the others being false. One religious group even insists that because of evil abounding in this world, the Deity who created it must be evil. Others believe Ultimate Reality is both evil and good for a similar reason.

What does it take to finish well in ministry, and how can leaders guard against subtle drift that pulls them off course?In this episode of FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye sits down with Peter Greer, president and CEO of HOPE International and author of How Leaders Lose Their Way. Together, they discuss how personal drift often begins quietly, much like mission drift in organizations, and why ministry leaders must be attentive before it grows.Drawing from the biblical example of King Solomon, Peter shares how drifting rarely happens in one moment but is often the result of small compromises and subtle shifts over time. The conversation explores how leaders can practically check in on their own drift, what warning signs to watch for, and how to take intentional steps to remain faithful to God and finish well.They discuss:The difference between mission drift and personal drift in leadershipBiblical lessons from Solomon on compromise and distractionWhy small choices can create big shifts in spiritual directionPractical ways to evaluate your own drift in life and ministryEncouragement to remain faithful and finish well in leadershipThis episode provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and take steps toward finishing well—resisting drift and embracing the joy of a life and ministry aligned with Christ.Dig deeper into this conversation: Find the free Weekly Toolkit, including the Ministry Leaders Growth Guide, all resource links, and more, at http://PastorServe.org/networkSome key takeaways from this conversation:Peter Greer on the importance of guarding against mission drift and staying faithful to God's calling over the long haul: "What is it that we need to do so that our lives could be marked by long-term faithfulness and not another story of drift?"Peter Greer on the significance of being thoughtful and intentional in every relationship: "We need to be more thoughtful and intentional with a whole range of relationships."Peter Greer on the importance of inviting trusted prayer partners into the real parts of our lives: "Who are our prayer partners who are actually invited to know and pray about the things that are going on in our lives?"----------------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

He emphasizes the importance of understanding and claiming these promises through spiritual authority. Bill uses scriptural references from 2 Peter 1:3 and Ephesians 1:3 to highlight that believers already have God's blessings and need to act in faith to realize them.

In the eleventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches that Jesus' parable of the sower from Mark chapter 4 is not just a story, but a key that unlocks our understanding of how God's Word works in our lives. The Kingdom of God operates on the principle of seedtime and harvest. God's Word is seed, and our hearts are the soil.This foundational parable is the most important one Jesus ever taught. How we receive and nurture God's Word determines the fruit we bear in our lives. There are four types of ground where seed can fall - the wayside, stony ground, thorny ground, and good ground.Satan seeks to steal God's Word before it can take root and bear fruit. If our hearts are like the wayside, the enemy will quickly snatch away the Word before we can fully understand it. But if we have a receptive heart and good soil, God's truth will take deep root and produce a bountiful harvest.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Join us for a conversation with TJ Freeman, Executive Director of the Brainerd Institute and Pastor of Christ Church Wellsboro. 

Oral Roberts University is launching a Doctorate of Ministry with an Emphasis on Global Evangelism. This is a unique opportunity for evangelists to receive an accredited degree at the highest academic level from the leading Spirit-Empowered university in the world. Today I talk with Dr. Ray Martinez who leads the Doctorate of Ministry program at ORU about the benefits evangelists will receive when they enroll in this program.

“The atonement is the hinge on which all of spiritual warfare hangs.” In this episode, we're unpacking this statement as we delve into the concept of atonement and its critical role in spiritual warfare. To help understand the triumph of what Jesus Christ accomplished through His death & resurrection, we're walking through the acrostic C.R.O.S.S. (Covenant, Ransom, Ownership, Substitution, Subjugation).We lean into this concept of subjugation of the enemy and its implications for spiritual warfare, while also acknowledging the already-not-yet nature of the kingdom of God. Because of the atonement, we can have not only greater intimacy with God but also freedom from the enemy's enslavement.Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!

ARM Ministry ~ Message From H.E. Metropolitan Youssef ~ November 2025

Of all of the great imperatives found in Scripture, few are more crucial than that found in Proverbs 4:23:    'Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.'   If we fail to do this, all else will be in vain.

Balancing family and ministry is a challenge for all who are seeking to serve the Lord. How do we serve Him without burning out? Will children rebel if the parents get things out of sync? What is balance anyway, and how did Jesus balance His life? The Scriptures have principles that point us in the right direction, while the Holy Spirit helps us to put them into action.

In this episode, Matt and Jamison welcome Texas State Senator Phil King—a respected Christian political leader representing constituents in Senate District 10—to discuss the major legislative battles shaping the state and the nation.Senator King provides deep insight into the Ten Commandments bill, which mandates the posting of the commandments in Texas public schools, and the ongoing legal challenges at the Fifth Circuit.The discussion pivots to the often-litigious and complex world of redistricting, including the effort to increase Republican congressional seats in Texas, and why Christians should be engaged in this political processFinally, Senator King details the historic passing of Texas' school choice bill, the largest rollout of its kind in American history, explaining its goal to offer options, competition, and funding to families in poorly performing districtsThis conversation underscores the "ministry of politics"—the duty of Christian men and women to be actively involved in government, an institution ordained by God for the good of society.

Need a deep breath before the holidays hit full speed? We're popping in with a candid check-in on where we've been, why the pace felt overwhelming, and the simple choices that help you stay human when the calendar won't slow down. From daylight saving crankiness to “Maycember” madness, we unpack how to practice presence in a season built on hurry.We start with a heart reset: the honest prayer search me, O God and how admitting your mess can invite real peace. Then we get practical. We talk about scheduling slow nights on purpose—quiet puzzles, a book with soft music, coffee by the tree—so memory has time to form. We share what retail taught us about compassion and boundaries, how to love the person in front of you without losing yourself, and why breath prayers and tiny breaks can change an entire shift. We also move toward the ache many carry this time of year: grief, seasonal depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Sometimes the holiest gift is sitting under a blanket beside someone who can't talk yet. If your soul needs a refill, join us for our She Is Chosen women's conference at Parkway Church in Roanoke, VA Saturday, December 6th, 9 a.m.–noon. Bring a friend with the code FRIEND for buy one, get one free, and let community reset your pace for the month ahead. If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review so more people can find their breath too.

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES DOWNLOAD SERMON SUMMARY   SERMON SUMMARY (by OpenAI) Ministry in the Margins: How Small Acts Have Eternal Impact By Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'   1. Introduction: Jesus will separate those who served from those who did not. Dr. Hudson opens with Matthew 25, where Jesus describes the Son of Man returning in glory, separating people like a shepherd divides sheep and goats. This passage reveals how God evaluates lives—not by spectacle or prominence, but by compassionate actions taken toward “the least of these.” Jesus lists personal, human-scale acts: Feeding the hungry Giving drink to the thirsty Welcoming the stranger Clothing the naked Visiting the sick Ministering to the imprisoned The righteous are surprised—they don't remember doing these things for Jesus. But He replies: “Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” This text reveals Christ's heart for people and His identification with the marginalized. 2. Two Levels of Ministry: Macro & Micro Dr. Hudson explains that Jesus operated at two simultaneous levels: A. Macro (Big Picture) The “40,000-foot view” God enthroned in heaven Christ coming in glory with angels The sweeping rule of God over all creation Jesus doing “big things”—miracles, world-changing acts This is the majestic, transcendent dimension of Christ's ministry. B. Micro (Personal & Individual) Jesus noticing one hungry person One thirsty person One stranger One sick or imprisoned person One woman touching His garment One boy with a small lunch The same King who rules the universe also sees individual people in need. "Jesus sees you right where you are.” Christ never stops seeing the person while seeing the big picture. The Problem With People Who Only See Macro Some people only want big, impressive ministry. They become “legends in their own minds.” But without micro-vision—tenderness, compassion, awareness—you cannot truly minister to people.   3. What God Actually Pays Attention To Dr. Hudson stresses that we live in a culture fascinated by entertainment, showmanship, and spectacle. But: God is not impressed with big platforms or big productions. God does not measure greatness the way people do. God pays attention to people and their conditions, especially those who are suffering. Illustration: Prison Ministry Prison ministry strips away props, technology, and fanfare. You can't take your laptop, phone, Apple Watch, or screens. You go in with: A Bible A simple watch Glasses A few notes And Jesus in your heart This is micro-level ministry—core, simple, compassionate. God pays attention to that. 4. A Big God Who Sees and Uses Small Things A. God Sees Small Things Luke 12:6–7 – God cares about sparrows and numbers every hair on your head. Jesus regularly highlights small acts of faith, not big personalities. B. God Uses Small Things Biblical examples: A boy's small lunch (loaves & fishes) Rahab's small but courageous lie to protect the spies David's sling and five smooth stones Samson's donkey's jawbone The woman's touch of Jesus' garment Gideon's 300 soldiers A man loaning Jesus his donkey All small acts. All with massive impact. C. God Uses Simple Things Especially in ministry to the marginalized—juvenile centers, prisons, people at the margins of society. Simplicity reveals Christ most clearly.   5. Ministry in the Margins: The Meaning of “Margins” The sermon uses the metaphor of a book: The text is the main content—where “most people” live. The margin is outside the center—where people feel unseen, unwelcome, or displaced. Some people live in the margins because: Society pushes them there They don't fit expected norms They experience hardship, injustice, or lack They aren't embraced by the “main text” Jesus, however, identifies with people in the margins. He says: “I was hungry… I was thirsty… I was a stranger…” He does not say “they were hungry.” Jesus dignifies the marginalized by identifying with them personally. Christ's Identification With the Marginalized Jesus Himself: Was never literally sick or imprisoned Was never homeless in the modern sense But He chooses to identify with those who are. Why? Because if you are trapped in the same condition yourself, you cannot lift someone else out. He identifies so He can elevate. 6. The Problem in American Christianity Dr. Hudson warns against a version of Christianity obsessed with: Power Privilege Proximity to the wealthy Cultural influence Celebrity preachers “Macro-only ministry” The Gospel calls us back to the heart of Christ—a heart that sees the hungry, thirsty, undocumented, imprisoned, and sick. As his grandfather preached: “You got what you wanted, but lost what you had.” 7. Macro & Micro Together in Scripture Examples: Proverbs 16:9 Macro: A man plans his way Micro: The Lord directs his steps James 2:14 Macro: Faith Micro: Works Both are required. 8. Sheep vs. Goats: A Call to Be a Sheep A. Sheep Characteristics Gentle Stay close together Easily follow the shepherd Respect boundaries Stay where God places them Ready to inherit the kingdom because they've been walking with the King B. Goat Characteristics Wander into danger Break boundaries Independent Do their own thing Resist leadership Not oriented to the flock Self-willed This explains the behavior of many people. C. Why Sheep Inherit the Kingdom Not because God “picked” them that day, but because: They were already aligned with Christ Their lives consistently reflected His compassion Their hearts were shaped by love, not self-service “Be a sheep and not a goat.” 9. Final Exhortation: God's Kingdom Is Love in Action Jesus separates people not by: Religion Church attendance Public image Size of ministry Amount of Bible knowledge But by compassion expressed toward others. Two realities: The unrighteous (goats) face judgment for indifference and self-service. The righteous (sheep) inherit the kingdom because they carry the King's heart. “Faith works through love.” — Galatians 5:6   10. Closing Prayer Themes Gratitude for the Word Correction and reorientation of our attitudes Desire to reflect the compassion of Christ Awareness that God sees even sparrows—and certainly sees us Thankfulness for people who care and serve quietly A commitment to be sheep, not goats A call to draw close to Jesus and His heart for the marginalized One-Sentence Summary This sermon teaches that while God is great and majestic (macro), He pays the closest attention to small, compassionate acts done for people in the margins (micro), and those who consistently walk in such compassion—His “sheep”—are the ones who inherit His kingdom.

Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi openly claimed at the Diet that "something happening to Taiwan" could constitute an "existential crisis situation" in which Japan could exercise the right to collective self-defense, implying a possible military intervention in the Taiwan Strait issue.近日，日本首相高市早苗在国会公然宣称“台湾发生事态”可能构成日本行使集体自卫权的“存亡危机事态”，暗示可能对台湾海峡问题进行军事干预。On the afternoon of today (the 14th), Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, Deputy Director of the Press Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, released information on recent military-related issues and commented on Sanae Takaichi's remarks concerning Taiwan.今天（14日）下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息，并就高市早苗涉台言论进行评论。Jiang Bin stated that the wrong remarks made by Japanese leaders on Taiwan constitute a gross interference in China's internal affairs. They seriously violate theone-China principle, the spirit of the four Sino-Japanese political documents and the basic norms governing international relations, challenge the post-war international order, and send a serious wrong signal to "Taiwan independence" forces. Such remarks are extremely bad in nature and impact, and are highly irresponsible and dangerous.蒋斌表示，日本领导人涉台错误言论粗暴干涉中国内政，严重违背一个中国原则、中日四个政治文件精神和国际关系基本准则，挑战战后国际秩序，向“台独”势力发出严重错误信号，性质影响十分恶劣，极不负责、极其危险。The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China and admits no external interference. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory ofthe Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's recovery. If Japan fails to profoundly learn from historical lessons, dares to take reckless risks, or even intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait situation, it will inevitably be badly beaten against the iron wall of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and pay a heavy price.台湾问题纯属中国内政，不容任何外来干涉。今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是台湾光复80周年。日方若不深刻汲取历史教训，胆敢铤而走险，甚至武力介入台海局势，必将在中国人民解放军的铜墙铁壁面前碰得头破血流，付出惨痛代价。"Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willedChinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) and pay a heavy price," stressed a Chinese defense spokesperson on November 14, 2025.2025年11月14日，中国国防部发言人强调：“日方若不汲取历史教训，胆敢铤而走险，甚至以武力干涉台湾问题，必将在中国人民解放军的钢铁意志面前遭遇惨败，付出沉重代价。”The Chinese Defense Spokesperson Senior Colonel Jiang Bin made the above remarks at a regular press briefing on Friday when being asked to comment on media reports that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently said that if the Chinese mainland uses military vessels and other forces against Taiwan, it would cause a situation threatening Japan's survival, and the Japanese Self-defense Force could exercise the right of collective self-defense in accordance with law.国防部发言人蒋斌大校在周五的例行记者会上，就媒体报道的相关问题作出上述回应。报道称，日本首相高市早苗近期表示，若中国大陆动用军舰等力量针对台湾，将造成威胁日本生存的局面，日本自卫队可依法行使集体自卫权。The spokesperson added that the erroneous remarks on Taiwan made by the Japanese leader constitute a gross interference in China's internal affairs, and a serious violation of the one-China principle, the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and the basic norms governing international relations. The remarks have challenged the post-war international order, and sent very wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. Such words are egregious in nature and have caused very negative impact. They are extremely irresponsible and dangerous.蒋斌补充指出，日本领导人涉台错误言论，严重干涉中国内政，严重违反一个中国原则、中日四个政治文件精神和国际关系基本准则。该言论挑战战后国际秩序，向“台独”分裂势力发出严重错误信号，性质极其恶劣、影响十分负面，是极不负责、极其危险的。The spokesperson emphasized that the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair, which brooks no foreign interference. He said that this year, China commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and the 80th anniversary of the restoration of Taiwan.蒋斌强调，台湾问题纯属中国内政，不容任何外来干涉。他表示，今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是台湾光复80周年。"Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed Chinese PLA and pay a heavy price," stressed the spokesperson at the end.蒋斌最后强调：“日方若不吸取历史教训，妄图冒险甚至动用武力干涉台湾问题，必将遭到意志钢铁的中国人民解放军的沉重打击，付出惨痛代价。”the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争one-China principle一个中国原则Chinese People's Liberation Army中国人民解放军
