Sharing is Caring

“Who are you, Lord?”       [Acts 9: 1 -9]       Are we truly changing?   The life of a Christian is one of transformation.   Faith is a willingness to change.   The church is a community of people who have not only experienced change, but also seek it (Internet).   However, there are times when we long for change, yet become disappointed and discouraged when we see our own habits persist.   Regarding this spiritual condition, author Robert Boyd Munger, in his book "A Pauper of a Prince?," says, ‘Many Christians today are despairing due to weakness, failure, and feebleness, unable to break free from the swamp of incompetence and helplessness.   Therefore, the author's desire is to give this amazing gift of a transformed life to us all.   The author's words, 'The amazing gift of a transformed life is more than forgiveness for the past or a promise for the future.'   This gift pertains to our current lives...

Saul vs. Philip     [Acts 8:1-8]     In Pastor Aidan Tozer's "Tozer speaks to students,” Chapter 1, titled "Spiritual Power," the following words are written: ‘A life lived in companionship with God can only clash with the world, because the ways of God and the ways of the world cannot walk together.  They intersect and cut across each other.  In this process, friction, hostility, conflict, and even persecution can arise.  However, the blessed Holy Spirit vehemently opposes the comfortable ways of the world.  We are living in a corrupt age.  In my view, Christianity today is comfortably coexisting with the easy ways of the world without friction.  The Holy Spirit says to the Christianity that is deeply asleep, Awaken now!.  How can we, as deeply asleep Christians, awaken spiritually?  We must live a life filled with the Holy Spirit and walk in a manner worthy of the Spirit's will.  The Holy Spirit is a hol...

A jealous eye               “And from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David” (1 Samuel 18:9).                         When I think about “jealousy”, I remember the Korean drama “Jealousy” that was broadcast on MBC in June-July 1992.   The drama includes actor Soo Jong Choi and actress Jin Sil Choi and it was about young people's fresh and heartfelt love stories.   It is said to have been recognized as the epitome of the melodrama that the era demands by containing the pain, waiting, and beauty to realize mature love (Internet).   I still remember dimly a part of the lyrics of the drama's title song “Jealousy”: ‘Who are you looking at even though I'm standing here right here   …   I don't want much.   I just you’re your eyes of love.   Even if I try to convey my heart, your eyes are saying diff...
