| 나의 기도 | Father, guide TBC with wisdom and empower TBC with courage in strengthening the English ministry. I witnessed the congregation diminishing down to where the rubber meats the road. It seems like a make or break situation. History layed out in the verses clearly shows how crucial it is for our church to lead and teach our young ones according to His word. And...very soon our young will need the English ministry in order to stay in the same body of Christ and develop in their walk with Him. I lift up for your blessings upon the ministry. |
| 적용하기 | Wherever and whenver I meet the younger generation in our church and specifically my own family, I need to prayerfully show Christian examples and dilligently prepare for sharing the word of God with them. My parents did not stop to share the truths in the bible, and many of those precious words instructed me time and time again in school, work, marriage and church. Suejung and I are planning to have a 1-on-1 bible study through skype. I need a determined effort to consistently invest time and prayers in sharing the biblical truths with my daughter. I also need to pray more and speak more for a better development with Jungi in sharing the Gospel. |
Too many times, I sit around and ignore the impacts made upon the younger generation in my family and church by my lack of prayers and actions to teach them the word of God. It doesn't take a pastor or an ordained minister to share the Gospel and train the young ones in knowledge and lifestyle to be Christ's disciples. It take me, an everyday husband, father, or just an adult to study and participate in sharing the knowledge and examplifying the daily actions. Examining how much of my effort was put forth in that regards...leaves me with quite an embarrassment. Besides physically toiling and going through the motions of feeding them and purchasing things on their behalf, I do not reach out to my kids nearly enough to build a family of Christ-like values and nourich a brotherhood in Christ-like commission.
Too often than not, King Josiah did not think of his impact on his children in their walk with God. He served his own portions in God's ministry and left out the children's need to receive parental encouragement to educate and support them in learning their own walks with Almithy God of the Chosen Nation. The results were appalling to God and not pretty to man's sight. More importantly, it was detrimental to the relationship between God and the nation of Judah. On Wednesdays, morning prayers lift up cries for our earthly nations. We see an array of evil things happening upon our future generations in education and every other facects of their lives. God help us focus our sight upon You and put our best effort forth to continually teach and guide our next generations to be first saved by faith in Your grace and second be baptized into Your church and lastly become growing deciples. Strengthen the old to nourish the young according to Your will so all glroies and praies belong to You.
Jason,
How awesome to know you have such a heart for the English Ministry. I Pray that we would be faithful to our Lord, and if it is His will for the EM then may it come to being as He would want it. I think we should first Pray, Fast and Earnestly seek his Will, and make sure it is not of our own selfish desires and wants. I do feel and agree with your sentiments that there is a need for an English Ministry especially as our high schoolers will be going to college soon and once our college students graduate they may not have a place to worship and a place to serve as their own. I think it is as you have said it, the EM is in dire straits in its current situation. Perhaps all those involved with EM should have a meeting soon. I will continue to pray for guidance and for God's direction in this matter. I did buy a copy of the Purpose Driven Church- hopefully I will have time to read through it soon. Once again, it is such a joy to hear that someone else has such a heart for EM- besides my wife.
