New Start!!!


Time of change...

I'm proud of myself finishing the half of my study in DTS!

Two more years... I still have a lot to do... in fact, a lot to change myself.

It's not about gaining knowledge, but about change...

From the depth of my heart, I desire to be controlled by the Gospel.

I want to resemble Him... who did His job faithfully and diligently.

Thank you...

I cried this morning…
for 93% of U.S. population…
and for more than 93% of Korean population…

After reading Steve’s post about Barna Survey,
I could not escape from thinking about it.
So many people died without chances to hear the good news
in their language…
the way they understand…
with no friend who loves enough to testify HIM…



The lady in this pic is my wife’s friend, best friend.
She married to a soldier.
And she is a Christian, even though not perfet.


How did she come to the place of the eternal joy from Him?


Although this lady was my wife’s best friend,
Sunmi (my wife) had not tried to reach out to her.
For Sunmi thought and said;

I’m different from you.
I know we are good friends.
But, we just have our own ways.


One day,
other member of her church suggested to Sunmi
that she introduce a summer spiritual retreat program to her friend.
Sunmi just tried and her friend accepted it,
and she began to live a life of Christian.
How simple!!!


After saying this, Sunmi cried… me too…


The harvest is plentiful,
but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore,
to send out workers into his harvest field.


Let’s be one of them!!!

An Interesting Church in NY

The Redeemer Vision
To spread the gospel,
first through ourselves
and then through the city
by word, deed, and community;
To bring about personal changes,
social healing,
and cultural renewal
through a movement of churches and ministries
that change New York City
and through it, the world.

Who more?

What do I honor more? What do I fear more? What do I care more?
The thing that ultimately makes me joyous or the thing that is scaring me just here and now?
What am I going to focus on?


Imagine! There’s a big wave for surfing, and through it I see the shadow of a cannibal shark.
If I focus on the shadow, I would be scared and hurry… scurry…
I would fall down from the board, then maybe killed…
But, I concentrate on my strong and safe board and care it more,
I would enjoy the time in spite of the killing shadow.

Do I honor “things” more, which was just given from Him?
Even my two precious kids?
Or do I fear “money” more than Him?
Because of those kinds of stuff, enjoying them more than Him,
do I despise Him?
To tell the truth, I did. No, not only I did, but I do or am doing.
I know that He wants to be honored and loved by His own,
because He is the Father.
and
Father,
please, help me honor you and love you more than any other one/thing!
Let me focus on you alone.
That’s my greatest obsession for life!
And, I will be in Your peace…

Now and Forever...

In a mask or out of it, you are the same in His sight.


Can you imagine from below to above?
.
Smiling without knowing any heartbreak,
he was sitting with his sister.

He could have killed himself,
or relied on drugs,
or blamed others,
such as the driver
who crashed into his car, ran away
and finally were caught after 18 years from the accident.
.
He had nothing to boast,
but things only to be ashamed of.


However, he is now a popular and famous speaker around the world because of his pain. You know how? That’s the power of “Him”. With “Him”, all things are possible. And you are so precious in “His” sight, because you are His child now and forever.

A Fellowship Song from Korea


You're the one born to be loved
- a Korean song transtlated by David & Jinook -

You're the one born to be loved by His so amazing love.

His heart for you is true, and he loves you day by day.

You're the one born to be loved by His so amazing love.

His heart for you is true, and he loves you day by day.


From the very beginning, God's loved you with unending love.

And His love is bearing fruit as we are sharing our hearts.

We rejoice for you are here and our paths have now crossed in love.

What a blessed joy you are, you are the pleasure to our hearts.


You're the one born to be loved by His so amazing love.

Now and forever more, He loves you 'til the end.
