바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (30)

바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (30)       바울 은 마지막 문안 인사에서 이렇게 말씀했습니다 : “아킵보에게 이르기를 주 안에서 받은 직분을 삼가 이루라고 하라” ( 골 4:17).   아킵보는 자신의 직분을 충분히 입증하라는 말씀 입니다 .   신약성경에 나타난 주요 직분으로는 목사 , 장로 , 집사 등이 있습니다 .   직분자들은 자신의 직분을 충분히 입증하기 위해선 (1) 그리스도 예수님께 감사해야 합니다 .   디모데전서 1 장 12 절입니다 : “나에게 힘을 주신 우리 주 그리스도 예수님께 내가 감사하는 것은 나를 충성스러운 사람으로 여겨 나에게 직분을 맡겨 주셨기 때문입니다 . ”   바울은 자신이 예수 그리스도를 믿지 않았을 때에 모르고 하나님을 모독하고 성도들을 핍박하던 난폭한 사람이었는데 하나님께서 자신을 불쌍히 여겨 주시사 회심케하셨을 뿐만 아니라 사명을 주시사 이방인의 사도로 세우셨기에 예수님께 감사했습니다 . (2) 은혜의식 속에서 더 많이 수고해야 합니다 .   고린도전서 15 장 8-10 절입니다 : “맨 나중에는 부족하기 짝이 없는 내게도 나타나셨습니다 .   나는 사도들 중에 가장 보잘것없는 사람이며 하나님의 교회를 박해했기 때문에 사도라고 불릴 자격마저 없습니다 .   그러나 오늘날 내가 이렇게 된 것은 하나님의 은혜로 된 것이며 내게 주신 그분의 은혜가 헛되지 않아 내가 다른 모든 사도들보다 더 많이 일했습니다 .   그렇지만 그것은 내가 한 것이 아니라 나와 함께 하신 하나님의 은혜였습니다 . ”   그래서 그는 은혜 의식 속에서 다른 모든 사도들보다 더 많이 일을 했습니다 .   우리도 그 리 해야 합니다 .

Moses (3) (Acts 7:36-38)

  Moses (3)           [Acts 7:36-38]     The leadership of Pastor Nakjoong Choi at Sunrise Church is intriguing: A leader is like a conductor of an orchestra.   He must harmonize the diverse individuals in the world to become one.   They are not one in uniformity, but one in harmonizing diversity.   Nothing different is wrong.   A spiritual leader is someone who, regardless of age, gender, social status, or wealth, brings people together in unity through the Holy Spirit.   Our society needs efforts to acknowledge and achieve harmony in diversity.   “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Eph. 4:3) (Internet).   I believe this is a fitting definition of leadership for our church.   It is the responsibility of both myself and our church leaders to harmonize Korean ministry, English ministry, and Hispanic ministry brothers and sisters in Christ, making t...

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...

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...
