Not long ago, my sister-in-law came to Houston for 3 weeks to see my daughter’s graduation. She suffers from eye disease called RP just like my wife. Both of them started having symptoms at around the same age and since she is three years older than my wife, I could see her and estimate the condition of my wife three years later. When I went to Korea and see her for a short time, I could not tell her level of sight impediment, but this time as we spent more time together, I could see her condition better. She stayed in my house for 3 weeks, but as she walks toward ...

Next month I will be 53 years old. I was the youngest of my siblings and my father and grandfather were both the youngest in their generations, so I have been used to being young or the youngest. When I was young, there were many 2nd cousins who were my father’s age, and because of this it was difficult to think of me as old. Recently, I have a lot more gray hair, but gray hair does not always come with age. Also, I have been absentminded since my childhood, so short-term memory loss did not necessarily make me feel old either. When I was a child, I used to lose ...

These days, most of us are involved in the 3 cord prayer, so I want to share something about prayer.

Therefore, prayer is not a certain act of dedication like in ...

One famous Houston pastor wrote a book titled ‘Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your life Every Day’ which quickly became a best seller. The main point of the book is to know that God loves us, wants us to be happy and to remove the bitterness in our heart, to realize our value, to have a positive attitude and to choose happiness in life. I read the book. The content was good, but I was somewhat uncomfortable because the illustrations, in my opinion, were too much toward the pursuit of worldly success. His sermons are along those same lines. Accept ...

It feels like it was only yesterday that 2014 started, but now it is the end of the year 2014. I want to share with you some numerical results of the year. First, this year as always we worked hard to save souls and the result was 130 accepted Jesus as savior, and 100 were baptized. I can imagine many stories leading to each salvation, God and our church members working together to achieve it through prayer, guidance and service, and it is very pleasing to witness. During this year, we had 217 new registrations to the church. However, because of many short term ...

Looking forward to the three cord prayerI know that many of you are looking forward to the upcoming three cord prayer. At the beginning of every year, the three cord prayer of three members per team blesses us with much answered prayers and strong spiritual energy. One reason that I look forward to this prayer meeting is that during the time period it gives me a chance to present a series of sermons based on the selected book and related to an issue from the beginning to the end with a clear conclusion. Often, a sermon can address an issue in a rather limited fashion. ...
