바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (11)

이 성탄 계절에 사도 바울은 두기로를 특별히 골로새 교회 성도들에게 보냈다(골4:8)하는 말씀을 묵상할 때 하나님 아버지께서 우리를 "이처럼 사랑하사 독생자를 주셨"다(gave)(요3:16)는 말씀과 더불어 "자기 아들을 아끼지 아니하시고 우리 모든 사람을 위해 내주"셨다(gave up)(롬8:32)는 말씀과 "그는 우리를 위하여 자신을 버리"셨다(gave Himself up)(엡5:2)는 말씀을 연관해서 묵상하게 되었습니다. 그리하였을 때 예수님께서 십자가상에서 "엘리 엘리 라마 사박다니"("나의 하나님, 나의 하나님, 어찌하여 나를 버리셨나이까 하는 뜻")(마27:46)라는 말씀도 생각났습니다. 사랑하시고 기뻐하시는 아들 예수님을 십자가에 버리시기까지 우리를 이처럼 사랑하시는 하나님으로 인해 우리도 예수님과 복음을 위하여 우리 목숨을 잃을 수 있길 기원합니다(막8:35).   https://youtu.be/amBwOJJrKxs?si=B6DoBllFE_Il7U-p

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
