Passion Week – The Week in History that Changed the World (Day 1)
Day 1: A Monday House Cleaning
Read: Mt. 21:12-13; Mk. 11:15-18.
As the disciples were walking into the Temple, they were impressed with the building (Mk. 13:1). However, Jesus was furious over the scam that was being done on the holy ground through money-exchanging and livestock dealings. According to Paul, we are the Temple of the living God. Thus, we must allow God to do a house cleaning of our hearts.
I believe when we deeply search our hearts we will not only unmask but also clearly see the spiritual disorder. Psalmist said, “Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine ...
A Personal Revival Part-1
For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15
People have approached me and said that our church needs a revival. I agree, but I personally feel we need a personal revival before we can experience a corporate revival. Recently, a few people shared with me how they feel stagnant and dead inside because they have lost the appetite for God. Some are seeking to find a formula that would bring them out of the deadness in a hope for ...
My Aunt
When our family fled south to escape the invading North Koreans during the Korean War, our family consisted of 6 people: my grandmother (who at the time was younger than my wife is now), my uncle (who was in 8th grade), my brother (who was 4), myself (7 years old), and twin aunts, who were high school seniors at the time.
My grandfather was exposed to Western culture early in his life. In fact, he attended the same language school as the first president of South Korea, who earned a Ph. D at Princeton before becoming president. Because of this, our family members started ...
Strength in Partnership
I’d like to share with you what I’ve been sharing with the youth shepherds and your parents recently. And that is this: there is incredible strength in youth ministry when the church partners with the parents. Not only does this partnership bring strength, it is a MUST if we really want to build a God-honoring youth ministry at SBC.
Adolescence – what all of you are going through right now – is not an easy thing to deal with. Believe me, I’ve been there. I know how many of you feel right now. Some of you may feel misunderstood by your parents and so there ...
My Wife Turned Sixty
I am writing this from San Jose. My wife turned sixty on March 13. My son Danny and his daughter Abby's birthdays are also in March. For Korean-Americans, a baby's first birthday means something special. So all of our families, including Sunju and Peter, are here to celebrate three birthdays; one celebration every day for three days.
I can't believe that my wife is now sixty years old and that we've lived together for 36 years. How true it is that time flies like an arrow!
Speaking of my wife, as some of you may know, she started working again part time last January at ...
How To Judge People
A while back, I received an email from a church member. He had returned from a long trip abroad and had not yet recovered from jet lag. When he found himself awake in the middle of the night, he decided to attend an early morning prayer meeting at a nearby Korean-American church instead of trying to go back to sleep.
During the sermon, the pastor of the church said in passing how a member of a growing church in the area asked a member of his church: "Why are you still attending a spiritually dead church?" Our member surmised that the pastor was talking about our church ...
New Church Building Clean Up on Saturdays!
Based on our building construction schedule, we just have three more months before we can move in and occupy the building. This is exciting!
All of you have been very faithful with your “To Gain More” building pledges. We have about twenty more months to go and I trust that you will remain faithful to God with your finances as you sacrificially fulfill your commitments.
Now it is time for us to demonstrate our faithfulness to God with our time. We would like to start new church building clean up Saturdays beginning next Saturday until we move in and everything ...
