나눔 사역 일기 (Sharing Ministry Journal)

나눔 사역 일기 ( Sharing Ministry Journal ) 2025. 10. 23. 목요일. 오늘 YMCA 에서 운동을 하면서 두 지체하고 각각 따로 다른 시간에 카카오톡으로 대화를 나눴습니다.  그 나눔 속에서 저는 "나눔 사역 일기"(Sharing Ministry Journal)를 쓰면 좋겠다는 생각이 들어서 이렇게 밤 11시가 좀 넘어서 잠들기 전에 오늘 하루를 뒤돌아보면서 나눔 사역에 관하여 배우게 된 점들이나 느낀 점들이나 생각하게된 점들을 좀 두리뭉실하게 기록해보고자 합니다.  저의 나눔 사역 일기가 여러분들에게도 조금이나마 유익되길 바랍니다. 1. Sharing is Caring !   오늘 대화 속에서 저는 제 막내 딸 예은이가 초등학교 다닐 때 저에게 한 말인 "Sharing is Caring"란 말이 생각났습니다.  아마도 그 이유는 어느 한 지체와 주님 안에서 진솔한 대화를 나눴을 때 주님의 사랑으로 서로 care하기에 그 caring heart로 각자 마음의 이야기를 나눴기 때문인 것 같습니다. 2. 나눔은 관심 속에서 몇 마디 인사로 시작되었습니다. 여러번 경험케하셨는데 오늘도 저는 운동을 하면서 어느 지체가 생각나서 카카오톡으로 몇 마디 글을 적어 보냈는데  그 말로 말미암아 주님 안에서 진솔한 대화를 나누게 되었습니다.  다른 지체도 저는 몇 마디 글을 적어서 카카오톡으로 보낸 것뿐인데 귀한 마음의 대화를 나누게 되었습니다.  그래서 저는 그 때 그 때 생각나게 하시는 사람이 있고 관심이 생기면 서슴치 않고 마음으로 하고 싶은 말(그 말이 인사이든 다른 말이든)을 계속해서 해야겠다는 다짐입니다. 3. 나눔의 타이밍이 기가막힙니다. 하하. 오늘도 그 두 지제들 하고 각각 따로 대화를 하면서 공통적으로 그들이 저에게 한 말을 생각해보면 각자 무엇을 고민하고 있었을 때 제가 카톡으로 말을 걸었다는 것입니다.  그리고 그들은 제가 말을 걸었음으로 말미암아...

The Word was growing mightily (Acts 19:8-20)

The Word was growing mightily       [Acts 19:8-20]         Pastor A. W. Tozer, who was called a prophet of the 21st century, stated in his book "That Incredible Christian": ‘Today's churches are filled with weak Christians.   They need to be entertained with something interesting to come to church.   ...   Therefore, they can only stay at a morally and spiritually weak level.   They barely hold on to a faith they themselves do not understand well with feeble hands.’   What is the cause?   Just as a salesman emphasizes only the advantages of his product and hides the disadvantages, an imbalanced evangelist only talks about the positive aspects, hiding the negative ones (Tozer).   We are being deceived by a false gospel.   Emphasizing the natural way without teaching the path of suffering, in other words, emphasizing the promised land without the wilderness, as if there were no death, is a fake g...

Applying the Word Bible study (Nehemiah 8:13-18)

  Applying the Word Bible study             [Nehemiah 8:13-18]       It is said that there are words that came about when unemployment among middle-aged and elderly people soared in Korea 2003 due to the economic recession (Internet): 'O-ryuk-do' (thieves who work until the age of 56) and 'Sa-o-jeong' (retirement age at 45) became popular, and as unemployment among young people became serious, ‘Lee Tae-baek’ (mostly in their 20s were unemployed) and ‘Sam-pal-sun’ (early retirement at the age of 38).   Originally, 'Sa-o-jeong' was said to be one of the escort monsters (?) of the third Xuanzang in Journey to the West.   However, the current Sa-o-jeong is used to refer to 'a person who misunderstands words' and 'a person with a different thought pattern'.   It is used to mean that a person does not listen properly and says something else.   There is a series of Sa-o-jeong that I found in the Bible: A...

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 ...
