바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (11)

바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (11)       두기고와 오네시모의 두 번째 공통점은 그들은 신실한 사람들이었습니다 ( 골 4:7, 9).   흥미로운 점은 바울은 골로새 교 회 성도들에게 마지막 문안 인사를 하면서 신실한 사람들인 두기고와 오네시모를 언급하였는데 , 시작 인사를 보면 그는 골로새에 있는 성도들 “ 곧 그리스도 안에서 신실한 형제들 ” (1:2) 하고 언급했을 뿐만 아니라 에바브라는 그들을 위한 “ 그리스도의 신실한 일꾼 ”(7 절 ) 이라고 말했다는 것입니다 .   여기 골로새서 1 장 2 절에서 “신실한 형제들”이란 말을 현대인의 성경은 “그리스도를 믿는 형제들”이라고 번역을 했 는 데 여기서 “신실한 형제들”이란 예수 그리스도를 계속해 서 신실하게 믿는 형제들입니다 .   “신실한 형제들”이란 (1) 믿음이 충만한 자들이요 (full of faith), (2) 신뢰하는 사람들 (trustful) 이요 , 또한 신뢰할 만한 사람들 (trustworthy) 로서 (3) 그리스도에게 충성된 자들 (loyal to Christ) 입니다 (KJV 성경 주석 ). “그리스도 안에서 신실한 형제들”은 그리스도에게 충성된 자들이요 예수 그리스도의 충성된 증인들 입니다 ( 계 1:5). 그들은 흠 없이 정직하게 주님을 따르며 ( 시 101:6), 지극히 작은 것에도 충성하며 ( 눅 16:10), 죽도록 충성하여 ( 계 2:10) 주님 앞에서 설 때에 “잘하였다 착한 종이여 네가 지극히 작은 것에 충성하였”다는 주님의 칭찬 ( 눅 19:17) 과 더불어 주님께로부터 생명의 면류관을 받을 사람들입니다 ( 계 2:10).      

For a true revival (Acts 2:37)

For a true revival   [Acts 2:37]   Last week, I listened to an interview with Pastor Kyung Won Kim on the Korean Gospel Broadcasting radio, who will be coming to our church revival meeting to preach.   In the interview, when the host asked Pastor Kim how we should prepare for the revival meeting, his answer was that we should prepare with a heart of repentance.   When I heard this answer, I couldn't agree more.   I thanked God for it, because I believe God has been preparing not only my heart but also the hearts of our church members for the upcoming revival meeting.   Today, during this Wednesday prayer meeting, I want to further prepare for the upcoming revival meeting.   I want to listen to the word of repentance to ready our hearts.   And I want to earnestly seek a heart of repentance before God.   I want to offer this supplication based on Acts 2:37, saying, "When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to...

Revival of the Word (II) (Nehemiah 8:6-9a)

Revival of the Word (II)     [Nehemiah 8:6-9a]       It is a morally lax world.   We hear a lot about moral hazard these days.   Originally, this meant that people were not careful when they bought insurance.   If we buy car insurance, we don't worry too much about traffic accidents.   And if we buy life insurance, we don't pay much attention to our health.   As if the sense function of the remote control has been exhausted, it means that the conscience has become dull.   It refers to the loss of judgment about right and wrong.   This kind of moral hazard phenomenon is not a thing yesterday or today, but you can see that there is no standard (Internet).   What is our standard?   It is the Bible.   The Bible is called the canon.   Its original meaning is sleep.   Borrowing the words from Amos 7:7-8, it is “a plumb line”.   A plumb line is a tool used on construction sites.   It ser...

Revival of the Word (I) (Nehemiah 8:1-5)

Revival of the Word (I)     [Nehemiah 8:1-5]     Do you know the difference between bewilderment, sadness and shock?   Bewilderment - when you go through the Old Testament, thinking that the sermon text the book of Hebrews is from the Old Testament, Sadness - when you can't find the text of the Bible and wander around, but the pastor told me to read it first, Shocking - when you open the Bible to read the text, but it's a Chinese Bible (Internet).   In this age we live in, we are facing the phenomenon of a drought in which we do not listen to God's word.   Look at Amos 8:11 – “’The days are coming,’ declares the Sovereign LORD, ‘when I will send a famine through the land-- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the Words of the LORD.’”   This era we live in is an era that denies the existence of absolute truth, an era in which emotional arousal through psychological manipulation draws more attention than ...

"True Revival and False Revival"

" A church filled with men and women who are delighting in God and His holiness, who are humble before God and others, and who are living out that holy delight in obedience to God's Word—that is a church that is experiencing genuine revival. Such a church would not only be attractive to those who long for spiritual reality, but it would be a great witness to the incoming kingdom of God. May God grant us such churches and people in this day." https://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/true-revival-and-false-revival
