Title Toward the core of life
Contents
A. Preface:
There is a key to anything and everywhere
Three keys to Genghis Khan's victory in war
1) Military training rather than military numbers. 2) Weapons. 3) Mobility.
B. Body
1. The key to a successful war is training, weapons, and mobility, and the core of Paul's life is '1) he fought 2) finished (finished) and 3) kept it'.
2. Paul's key points in life
1) fight
(1) Meaning of fighting: A word that depicts martial arts athletes fighting with all their might.
(2) The world's most difficult battle to win: the fight against oneself
(3) The most difficult and long journey in the world → A journey from head to heart → Always using the knowledge of the head through self-reflection and repentance, little by little, step by step, come to God, who is in the middle of our hearts, and achieve the heart to become like Jesus
(4) The core of the victory that the Apostle Paul won in the battle with him → ‘I die every day.’
(5) God's creation mystery through the camel, an animal that overcomes self thoroughly
2) finished (finished)
(1) The words ‘finished’ and ‘finished’ mean that the goal was clear.
(2) Jesus with a clear purpose
(3) Paul’s ultimate goal in life → Missions of the Gentiles
(4) Have my final goals for this year been achieved?
3) I kept it.
(1) What Paul kept: a. fought the good fight. b. ‘I also kept my faith.’
(2) ‘The 10,000-hour rule’: To become an expert in something, you must invest 10,000 hours in that field→a. Slenburger's 19,000-hour flight → miraculous flight technique that rescued a passenger who crashed into the Hudson River 4 minutes after takeoff
(3) Balsan Church, introduced as the ‘best church in the world’ → There are people who know our Balsan Church as a model church (500 rabbis readers).
(4) Reasons why flying fish sometimes fly 4.5 km: a. That ability comes when other large fish follow them to catch and eat. b. They are said to fly freely through the air in groups when they are happy and to carry them that far.
C. Conclusion
1. We can fly far when we fight the good fight, keep our faith, and go out without losing our core.
1) “If my God had not refreshed me whenever I was frustrated, I would have given up as soon as I started.” (65-year-old grandmother, graduating from Pepperdigm University, Malibe, CA)
2) God gives the blessing of achievement to those who have kept their faith without losing their core.
(1) Cheetah's Hunt: Run and hunt while looking only at the target set at the beginning
(2) Like the Apostle Paul, the day we end our lives
‘1) I fought the good fight, 2) I finished (finished) the missionary mission, the last will of the Lord, and 3) I kept my faith.’
Let's report it to God.
