천국 시민이요 미국 시민인 "동전 목사님"의 책임?

천국 시민이요 미국 시민인 "동전 목사님"의 책임?       악한 포도원 농부 비유가 자기들을 가리켜 한 말인 줄 알고 예수님을 잡으려고 했으나 군중들이 두려워 예수님을 잡지 못하고 그냥 가 버렸던 대제사장들과 율법학자들 ( 서기관들 ) 과 장로들은 어떻게 해서든지 구실을 붙여 예수님을 잡으려고 바리새파 사람들과 헤롯 당원 중 몇 사람을 예수님께 보내 이렇게 물어보게 하였습니다 : “선생님 , 우리가 알기에 선생님은 진실하셔서 사람의 겉모양을 보지 않으시고 진리대로 하나님의 교훈을 가르치시기 때문에 누구에게도 거리낌이 없으십니다 .   그런데 로마황제에게 세금을 바치는 것이 옳습니까 , 옳지 않습니까 ?   우리가 바쳐야 합니까 , 바치지 말아야 합니까 ? ”   그러나 예수님은 그들의 위선을 아시고 “왜 나를 시험하느냐 ?   데나리온 하나를 가져와 내게 보여라”하고 말씀하셨습니다 .   그들이 그것을 가져오자 예수님은 “이 초상과 글이 누구의 것이냐 ? ”하고 물으셨습니다 .   그들이 “황제의 것입니다”하고 대답하자 예수님이 “황제의 것은 황제에게 , 하나님의 것은 하나님께 바쳐라”하고 말씀하셨습니다 .   그래서 그들은 예수님의 말씀을 듣고 말문이 막혀 버렸습니다 ( 마가복음 12:12-17, 현대인의 성경 ).   저는 이 말씀을 마태복음 22 장 15-22 절과 누가복음 20 장 19-26 절 현대인의 성경 말씀과 연관해서 묵상할 때 오늘은 예수님께서 “데나리온 하나를 가져와 내게 보여라” [“ 세금으로 바치는 돈을 내게 보여라 ”( 마태복음 22:19, 현대인의 성경 )] 하고 말씀하시자 바리새파 사...

Conclusion [Rise up and rebuild the church! (The Book of Nehemiah)]

  Conclusion         The church must be rebuilt.   It needs to be rebuilt not only morally and ethically but especially according to biblical principles.   To be rebuilt, the church must weep and repent while looking at the broken church.   The church must turn back to God, the merciful One, with the heart of the Lord who is the head of the church.   The church must return to the Word of God.   The church must experience a revival of the Word and the power of the Word.   The church must return to the gospel of Christ.   And the church must live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.   The Lord is rebuilding His church.   He is raising up His servants and rebuilding His church.   The Lord is making His servants pray, return to His Word, and be faithful to His Word and prayer to rebuild His church.   The Lord is boldly proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ through them and also showing the ...

Worshipers of the dedication ceremony (Nehemiah 12:27-30, 43)

  Worshipers of the dedication ceremony       [Nehemiah 12:27-30, 43]     Do you know the origins of the dedication ceremony and the consecration ceremony?   The early church didn't have church buildings because whether it was a tent, a palace, or wherever the Lord Jesus was present, it was heaven.   The early church congregated freely in homes, in fields, and on mountains.   The word "church" comes from 'Ekklesia,' meaning "called-out assembly."   The building is never a temple or a cathedral; it is the assembly of redeemed Christians that becomes the temple.   After the church began to deviate in the 2nd century, church buildings started to emerge.   When Constantine appeared, church buildings became more elaborate, and during the Roman Catholic heyday, so-called cathedrals began to appear.   Corruption accelerated even further, culminating in the Dark Ages with the sale of indulgences for St. Peter's Basili...

All the men who volunteered (Nehemiah 11:1-2)

  All the men who volunteered       [Nehemiah 11:1-2]     Do you know where the term "volunteer" originated?   In the Western world, it started being used to refer to support soldiers who volunteered for military service during World War I, and from there, the term evolved to encompass modern volunteerism.   Today, it not only pertains to activities in social welfare but has spread to various areas including transportation, environment, crime, and community issues.   Therefore, when we say "volunteers," we refer to people who willingly take action to create a better community.   Volunteerism possesses three key characteristics (Internet):   (1)     The first characteristic is "voluntarism": "How can I not do this?"   Voluntarism emphasizes taking action based on individual free will and agency.   Especially in today's highly specialized society, it requires individuals to proactively add...
