«الإنجيل ليس في الكلام، بل في قوة الحياة».

  « الإنجيل ليس في الكلام، بل في قوة الحياة ».       « إن كنت أشهد لنفسي فشهادتي ليست حقًا . الذي يشهد لي هو آخر، وأنا أعلم أن شهادته التي يشهدها لي هي حق . أنتم أرسلتم إلى يوحنا فشهد للحق . وأنا لا أقبل شهادة من إنسان، ولكني أقول هذا لتخلصوا أنتم . كان هو السراج الموقد المنير، وأنتم أردتم أن تبتهجوا بنوره ساعة . وأما أنا فلي شهادة أعظم من يوحنا، لأن الأعمال التي أعطاني الآب لأكملها، هذه الأعمال بعينها التي أنا أعملها هي تشهد لي أن الآب قد أرسلني . والآب نفسه الذي أرسلني يشهد لي . لم تسمعوا صوته قط، ولا أبصرتم هيئته، وليست لكم كلمته ثابتة فيكم، لأن الذي أرسله هو لستم أنتم تؤمنون به . فتشوا الكتب لأنكم تظنون أن لكم فيها حياة أبدية، وهي التي تشهد لي . ولا تريدون أن تأتوا إليّ لتكون لكم حياة ». ( يوحنا 5:31–40)     (1) المقدمة : الشهادة التي تقود الناس إلى الإيمان بيسوع تحت عنوان « الشهادة التي تقود الناس إلى ال...

우리 부모님은 우리 자녀를 어떻게 사랑해야 하는 것일까요? 우리 자녀들은 어떻게 우리 부모님을 사랑해야 하는 것일까요? 성경은 끝까지 사랑하라고 말씀하고 있습니다. https://youtu.be/GC7CKOrBvGc?si=qo07h8QhMOfP_lYq

Moses (2) (Acts 7:30-35)

  Moses (2)       [Acts 7:30-35]     Last year, TIME magazine selected the 100 most influential people in the United States, and among them, the first place was not Bill Gates, not former President Clinton, nor President Bush.   It was reported to be a female talk show host named Oprah Winfrey.   The viewership of her program averages over 10 million, and Americans are moved by her every word.   If she says, ‘I visited a poor orphanage and they need help’ for just 10 seconds, the next day, tens of billions in donations arrive at that orphanage.   If she says, ‘I read this book,’ the book becomes a bestseller in the U.S. the next day.   The answer to her influence lies in the four life philosophies mentioned in her autobiography, ‘This Is My Mission’:   (1)     Having more than others is not a blessing, but a mission. (2)     If there is pain greater than others, it is not suff...

Don’t be mistaken (Acts 7:25)

Don’t be mistaken.       “For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not" (Acts 7:25)   As I meditated on this Scripture, one word I said to myself was 'James, do not be mistaken.'   The reason is that Moses, before he attended the church in the wilderness (Acts 7:38), during his 40 years of life in Egypt, remembered to consider his fellow Israelites.   When he saw an Israelite being mistreated by an Egyptian, he struck down the Egyptian in defense (v. 24).   After this incident, Moses mistakenly believed that God had used him to save the Israelite by his own hand (v. 25).   To put it in modern terms, a pastor like me could mistakenly believe that the church has grown because of my good preaching, effective administration, good interpersonal relationships, and so on.   Of course, it would have been natural for the Israelites not to realize.   The re...

Moses (1) (Acts 7:17-29)

  Moses (1)       [Acts 7:17-29]       In 2004, during the 9th Spiritual Retreat of the Pastors' Council for Church Renewal (PCCR), Pastor Han-heum Ok, who was the chairman of the PCCR, stated: ‘In the 1910s to 1930s, the Korean church experienced a tremendous revival, with the congregation growing from a few thousand to 300,000.   The focus of that revival was repentance.   People heard the word of God, repented, and their lives were transformed.   Then, from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s, the congregation, which was only around 300,000, suddenly reached 10 million.   The theme of this revival was blessing.   It was prosperous.   However, it was mentioned that the allure of prosperity and blessing led to the revival of millions, but ultimately played a role in making the church more secularized and corrupt, pointing out the causes of the current crisis in the Korean church’ (Internet).   Pastor Ok e...

The God of Joseph (Acts 7:9-16)

  The God of Joseph       [Acts 7:9-16]     The text discusses the concept of ‘Brick instead of Bread’ and quotes a saying attributed to the famous news anchor David Brinkley.   The saying illustrates that sometimes life presents us with challenges (symbolized by a brick) instead of comfort (represented by bread).   How we handle these challenges can determine whether they become the foundation of happiness or the cause of unhappiness.   The text then mentions biblical figures who encountered the brick of suffering in their lives, including Joseph from the book of Acts (Acts 7:9-16).   Unlike some, Joseph did not reject the brick of suffering; instead, he accepted it with faith.   Despite committing no wrongdoing, Joseph faced various trials, such as being sold to merchants by his brothers and later being unjustly imprisoned in Egypt.   The text advises that when we go through the passage of suffering, we sho...
