Like a Roly-poly Toy

A roly-poly toy never falls; even though it is pushed over, it bounces back up soon. The reason a roly-poly toy rights itself immediately though it seems to tumble is that its center of gravity is at the lower part. If the center of gravity is high, even a roly-poly toy cannot stand; its body…

Conversation With God

It is really hard for a person to have little or no conversation with the people around him.

As Long As You Do Not Give Up

Making Gimbap

I liked eating gimbap when I was young. On a picnic or sports day, my mom always made gimbap for me. So I took it for granted that I should eat gimbap on a special day. Time passed, and I became a mother. I, too, decided to make gimbap on the day of my child’s…

Salvation Is Given to Those Who Celebrate the Feasts

The Bible likens the kingdom of heaven to a very precious treasure hidden in a field (Mt 13:44-46). Jesus said that when a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Through His words, we can understand how great and precious…

One of the methods to grow tomatoes is pricking the fruit with a needle when it just produces the fruit.

Overcome Temptation

On the path of faith toward heaven, sometimes we run into an obstacle, temptation. We have to overcome temptation, so that we can safely arrive in heaven, the spiritual Canaan. If we do not overcome but fall down in the middle, we will be further away from heaven. It is important for us to let…

The Wages of Sin Is Death

The Bible says that death came to all men because all sinned (Rom 5:12). Those who do not believe in God complain, saying, “Whenever we go to church, we hear that we are sinners. Why do Christians say that?” However, in actuality, all people are basically sinners. We do believe in God. So, we give…
