A Beautiful Mind

Be Conscious of God

I believe each of you has many plans whenever a new month or a new year comes. To make all the plans succeed, we are to rely on God rather than on our own abilities. We may make plans, but it is God who fulfills them. We can confirm that through the Bible and through…

People experience many hardships and trials in their lives. Taking their cross, they walk the path of suffering. This is the life of pilgrims. How about us who have received God? God has a plan for our life. If we realize this fact, we will understand that our present suffering is a part of God’s…

Make a Family Cheer Song!

A song has the power to make people closer together. The sense of closeness increases while all sing along the rhythm and melody in unison.

With Absolute Faith and Mother’s Love

In the Apple Orchard

Whenever the harvest season comes, farmers need a lot of helping hands. They are so busy that Koreans describe the situation this way: “Even a poker which is used for stirring the fire has no time to lie on the ground.” And also, they are always short-handed. Feeling sorry for farmers, one sunny Sunday, the…

Do Not Grumble but Give Thanks

Good Weather

Just because the sun is hot, wind blows fiercely, or it rains, are you sometimes in a subdued mood or irritated?

Wind helps plants propagate and circulates…

He Who Has an Ear Hears God’s Voice

Most churches today claim to hear the word of God. Actually, they do not understand the meaning of God’s word. The Bible says that they have an uncircumcised ear. How about us? We have eyes to see, ears to hear and minds to understand. Giving thanks to God, let’s see what the uncircumcised ear means,…

Turning a Weak Point into a Strong Point

A shark, the apex predator in the sea, has fatal weak points as a fish. It is that it doesn’t have an air-filled sac, namely, an air bladder which controls its buoyancy, and gill muscles. A shark has a liver which constitutes up to one fourth of its total body mass instead of the air…

A Blessed Mission, the Duty of Giving Love

Those approved by God

People in the world live in their own way of life, with their own opinions. Some say this is right, and others that is true. In political circles, the government party and opposition parties are pitted against each other in divided opinions. And sometimes people take a stand against their neighbors, raising their voices.

Just Like Him

The world of the righteous and the world of sinners

Home of the righteous and home of sinners What is the difference between the world of the righteous and the world of sinners?
