An Opportunity to Store Up Treasures in Heaven
When I came to pastor Seoul Baptist Church, one of the first things I said was, "I will not build!" I didn't like the idea of using offering money for buildings instead of soul winning. However, since then, I've already been involved in two building projects. I changed my mind because worship and education space is sometimes essential for soul winning.
As you know, we have discouraged believers from joining our church members and tried to focus on winning unbelievers. God has honored this and made our church grow. As a result, we now lack space. Our sanctuary is filled ...
A Beautiful Poem
Besides preaching God's word and praying for New Life, my responsibility as a pastor is to equip you so you could become mature followers of Christ, serving at the right places of ministry. To do this, I often help you discover your spiritual gifts, provide ways to develop them, and then deploy you in the right places of ministry where you can fully express who God made you to be.
I have known Jennifer Griffin for the past several years and have noticed that God has gifted her with the ability to express herself through writing. I have encouraged her to pursue it ...
How to Make a House Church Grow
I don't expect all house churches to grow at the same pace. Shepherds have different talents and gifts and their house churches each have different circumstances. I cannot expect each of them to have the same results. So I don't pressure them to grow their house churches quickly. I just congratulate those whose houses churches are growing and encourage those whose house churches are not. Happily, even in those house churches that aren't growing, people are still coming to know Jesus now and then. As long as that happens, I think their shepherds are all right.
Although ...
Pray For My Book Writing
I am taking another 2-week sabbatical to continue work on a book. I need your prayers because I am not a professional writer. I've been writing Pastor's Corners for 10 years now, and my writing skill has improved somewhat. But I still don't feel comfortable writing. I'm not a born writer; I remember that in high school I received poor grades in writing.
So I'm writing this book not because it's something I enjoy but because I was asked to. God has blessed our church greatly, and I believe it's my responsibility to share the awesome things that God has done. It 's ...
Thank You, New Life!
I don't exactly remember the date, but about two and a half years ago, many of you pitched in and gave me and my family a little more than $7,000 for us to buy a car. My wife and I felt extremely thankful, and quite frankly we didn't know what to do with the money. Since we both thought that it wasn't the right time for us to buy a car, we decided to put the money in our savings account and just wait.
Lately, I have noticed that my wife's car, which is an '89 Honda Accord, is getting pretty old, and I didn't feel comfortable anymore about her driving it with our kids ...
Satan’s Lies
There are two Supreme Court decisions that have been most influential in America becoming a secular nation. One is the decision that prohibited the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in schools, handed out in 1963. The other is the one that made it illegal for states to prohibit abortions in 1973, commonly referred to as Roe v. Wade. Interestingly, both cases have turned out to be based on false witnesses and lies.
The plaintiff in the first suit was Madalyn Murray O'Hair, a well-known self-proclaimed atheist. She claimed that her son experienced mental anguish because he ...
New Policies for Children’s Education
Our children live in difficult times. The degree of temptation they are exposed to is far beyond their parents' experiences. They are exposed to violence on TV and in movies. They are exposed to pornography through the Internet, often by uninvited, explicit spam. They are exposed to alcohol, drugs and sex as early as elementary school. It is next to impossible to protect them from all these temptations.
To deal with this, we should not be on defense but offense. Instead of trying to shield our children from the world, we should train them to combat corrupting influen...
