How have you been this week? This week, I served as an accompanist,
Sister Lee Seon-mi, who was helping with the accompaniment, suddenly had a car accident. I answered the call and prayed. ha

It came out by itself. Saints, we must pray for each other. Human work is unknown.
To say that a person knows everything, that I can do everything, is really proud and foolish.
Believers in Jesus must believe that God made the world and is operating in the past, now and in the future.
do. God's hand is directing us. So our master is not me, but God
All. There is nothing more foolish than living in the world and not relying on God.
There are many people who do not depend on God, but on the world. This also happens to believers. And
They tend to look down on the world for having faith. Ladies and gentlemen, the world does not leave people of faith alone.
They keep attacking and trying to lose faith We express that the world is evil. I believe the world is real
We believe that we will not leave people of God alone to live their lives while looking only at God. It keeps tempting us.

A Christian of faith must see the world correctly.
Engage the Word
Today, in the last week of 1998, God's word to us is Psalm 62. As we read this, we
We examine what we have been living for, and what we should live for and how we should live.
I hope that the confession of faith will stand right up. In verses 1 and 2, David's confession of faith appears. “My soul is silent, only God’s wind blows
O my salvation comes from him; he alone is my rock and my salvation and my stronghold; I am greatly shaken.
No." Here the psalmist says. Be still and hope only in God. God is salvation. He is hope. Fortress.
is this It is said to be a refuge. This is a fact we all know. No one who believes does not know this. all know
However, if I ask you if you really believe in this and live depending on it, how would you answer? calm down
Do you expect God to live? Do you really think salvation is from Him? Is he your rock? mountain
is your surname? Refuge?
The psalms are made up of 150 Psalms. This 150 episode is divided into 5 parts. The Old Testament people had a habit of dividing the Torah into five parts.
It is on this basis that the psalm is divided into five parts. What is the Torah? This is the Pentateuch. Genesis
Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy This is what we call the Pentateuch. Israel's most important
This is the 5 books of Moses, the Torah. Based on this important thing, the Psalms were also written in five parts. this

It says David wrote it. But not all 150 Psalms were written by David. Not all authors are David. David
He wrote only seventy-three volumes (73 volumes). I wrote more than half, but not all. In the psalms there are works by David, but

There are two central themes in the psalms. The first is to praise God.
And the second is trust in God. Praise God for what He has done and what He will do in the future.

This book, Psalm 62, also continues to emphasize trust in God. Saul attacked, Absalom seduced,
David says at the time when Sang attacks. Quietly wait on God He is the salvation, the rock, and the fortress.
What about trust? Verses 1 and 2 say that I am not moved by the world.
Can't it be shaken? Let the world stand still
do you think David says this in verses 3-4. They say the world does not leave believers alone. 'of mine
Do you think the world's problems will avoid me if I say things like 'I have faith' or 'I have faith'? no. the world makes us
I won't leave it alone. The world continues to look down on people of faith. I'm trying to shake it. attack. It strikes.

You should read verses 3-4 carefully. “When will you strike all at once to kill a person who is like a falling wall and a swaying fence?
They only plan to bring him down from the heights, and they delight in lies; with their mouth they are a blessing, but in their heart they
It's the Lord." The world keeps trying to overthrow David. They say it makes him uneasy. Guys, the world is telling us
It does not give you peace or comfort. The world is walking on ice. Do you find peace and comfort there?
Next week is 1999. Chronologically, the year 2000 is one year away. The world is noisy right now with the problem of Y2K.
All. The issue of Y2K is no different. Science needs to develop, but the Y2K problem keeps making things of the past.
It shows an incompetent human figure. For example, things that so far have not caused problems can become problems.

It's a question of whether wheat, personal computers, etc. can really work well or not. Haven't had any problems so far
But the question is whether this will work well tomorrow. This issue is once again about the civilization that humans were good at the past.
It made me think.
Humans claim to be in control of everything, but there are so many things that they cannot control. Now the world is El Ni o
The whole country is suffering from this phenomenon. These days, another species called La Ni o has appeared and threatens the whole world. room
Zero There is one shocking fact shown by the British BBS broadcasting station. It's so serious that the whole world thinks about this
It's a fact I wanted. It's an environmental issue. It's a problem with the ozone layer, which has a hole in the sky. 10 years ago, a little
The satellite was showing that it was now as big as the entire land mass of Australia. Many due to this

Not only the problem, but also the environmental problem is in a very serious position now. Y2k becomes a problem and environmental issues are taken seriously
I do not understand the fact that it is not.
More serious problems come internally than these external problems. If you look at the various problems in the world, man, this world is really
But I'm thinking about how it's going to be. South Korea and the world were shocked by an attempt to clone a human last week
I've been The idea is to try to clone a person. What a scary thought. Is someone really coming out once or not?
When they come to school, the law decides whether to bring a gun or not, so they will check it when they come to school. Internet
The site tempts young people to easily access the music site if they go wrong. More and more children are trying to commit suicide.
There are even companies that can help with that. The President of the United States is now in disgrace. morally depraved
I did. The world is doing things that shouldn't be done. We really need to learn how to raise our children.
We need to think about whether we can grow in faith in the world. I wonder if I can really live as a person of faith in this world
each must be We shouldn't look down on the world. If we look at us in a funny way, the world also sees us very funny. this anxious
In the world, as we close the year, what should our minds see as we wait for 1999 again?
The world is really evil. I couldn't. Just don't leave us alone. We all want to live while stepping into the world
There are things to see and buy. As we look to God who rules the world, our faith stands on the word of God.
must go It is difficult to live a life of faith in this world. But, folks, there are some people the world just let go of. that
This is someone who just wants to live according to the world. Satan and the devil of the world do not even look at such a person. then
They don't even attack because people think they're theirs. If you live in the world, you just disappear into the world. but god
If we try to live as we are, Satan and the devil will torment us. "Hey, don't say that you live only for God, good words.
Don't do it when you do it." If we keep trying to live a religious life, the devil keeps shaking us. He tries to stir our hearts.
It constantly tempts us and makes us anxious. What to do or what to do makes people tired.
You must be spiritually tired. David in the psalm also has a heart to live centered on God.
It is said to be harsh, stinging, attacking, and harassing. A very spiritual word. We believers should also be concerned about this.
If I am in charge of the United Church, the ministry I pursue is truly God’s message to those who are wandering and troubled by living according to God’s word.
I want to give you comfort. May God bless you. I wish to live in the world for a week without losing faith
It says. In the midst of that, we are discouraged, disappointed, and frustrated, but when we cry out to God about the world that troubles us
We hope that many believers who want to live in the West will gather. Once again, the soul is hoping to get revived. in worship
It is hoped that all those who participated will gain strength again and that there will be a history of returning.
David first made his confession of faith in verses 1 and 2. God is our salvation, He is our stronghold. It is a refuge. but the world
You wake up when you meet the difficulties of falls over. But I am thankful that he once again made the same confession in verses 5 and 6.
that is all. And he tells people of faith to live like this. As I read these words, one week you
I hope that those who are worried, anxious, and anxious will find courage and strength from these words. "My soul, keep quiet and wait for God
For my hope comes from him; he alone is my rock and my salvation and my fortress.
my salvation and my glory belong to God; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
Trust in him in psalm and pour out your heart before him. God is our refuge."
As the year draws to a close, I think about the ministry for the coming year. In today's verse, I find an important verse. "Be quiet
And from time to time.” Everyone, what kind of spiritual battle did you fight in your life for a week?
Did you bring it to worship today? With what kind of prayer did you come to church today? Come to worship, everyone
Don't think of anything else. Be quiet and look to God. And verily he is my hope and my rock and i
Be my salvation, my fortress and my refuge. When we quietly hope for God, the Lord will refresh us again
breathes into us. A truly precious believer is someone who knows Silence. God speaks quietly in the silence
you write Many seniors in the faith conducted spiritual training with this. In difficult times, I quietly approached the Lord.
is. I heard the voice of the Lord in silence. I quietly gained the power of faith. Like the psalmist and our seniors of faith
You must experience the Lord who walks in silence.
Another thing is to depend on God from time to time and pray to God from time to time. “People, rely on me from time to time.
Pour out your heart before him. God is our refuge.” When we encounter the things of the world and in everything we do, remember God in our hearts.
You must rely on You have to rely on it from time to time, from time to time. Before today's offering, we said, "The Savior and I died together.
You're welcome". In the lyrics, 'Love the day you always give'. In an old hymn, this is
As for how it was written, it is written as 'Love the day you give from time to time'. Everyone, we are shi-shiro, shi-shi
Sometimes when we depend on the Lord, sometimes the Lord loves us. All we have to do is depend on the Lord from time to time
And we must also keep our hearts open to him.
Someone said I am a modern pastor because I am friendly with children and there are many young people around. children, youth, college
I don't think it's appropriate to say that I'm a modern pastor when I'm only playing around with wealth and college pastoring.
All. And I'm not a modern pastor. In reality, it is a situation that lacks the direction to lead this young generation.

In addition, I thought about the revival of the seniors. But religiously I continue to feel inadequate. I really understand them
It is a question of what leads them to. The world won't let these kids go, what will they take with them?
I have an idea that I'm going to do it. Should I do it with knowledge, or threaten them, or do it with money?
I do it. What guides them also applies to the elderly. The problem is this. the world is us
What threatens the world is how we should deal with it. What kind of heart and beliefs should we live with?
I was worried about the issue of whether to go or not. Now I realize that I can't win the world with only the world's point of view. G

“Ps 62:9 Truly, the lowly are vain, and the high are deceitful; weighed in scales, they are lifted up and lighter than breath.
Do not go underground, do not become vain with what you have stolen, and do not be arrogant when your wealth increases.” This is a very important saying.
Don't turn your eyes on the world. And the power to live the world, the power belongs to God. "
Psalm 62:11 I have heard what God has said once or twice, saying, “The power belongs to God.” Not of the world, but of the world.
He says that he belongs to God, not to the authority of material knowledge.
I also think that the life that should be pursued in church, family, and society is what a balanced faith is. now you and me

But, did you know that martyrdom is not? Martyrdom is no different. what others don't want to do
That is what I once decided to live with God. People do things that are praiseworthy in the church first.
But difficult things are delayed by each other. You must also be martyred in the world. Martyrdom at home and at church
There are too many. There are too many things to be martyred if you do it not from my center but from God's direction and guidance.
