One day, while praying, the hearts of the two women were deeply touched by the Holy Spirit and they began to change their lives. One woman kept thinking about why she took a bag of rice dedicated to the church and used it. So the woman brings it to the church and confesses it before the saints. 'Actually, this rice should be used in the church, but I wrote it. Please forgive me.' Then another woman appeared in front of the saints and confessed this. 'I am a person who works in someone else's house. However, I once brought an egg from the owner's house without telling the owner. I repent of it.' Then a man comes out and makes a confession. 'I was dating a missionary and went to the missionary's house and secretly took out a book without telling the missionary. I want to give it back and repent.' The sincere confession of these three men trying to get their lives right has caused a remarkable revival in the town.

Even if it is a small church building, a flame that does not go out every day. It should be a place where we gather together to worship, sing, and pray (Hebrews 10:25).
Sixth, many believers mourn about light, salt, and love, but their words and actions do not match. (James 2:14-16, Revelation 3:8, Titus 1:16) You must live a life worthy of the Christian name, that is, the light of the world. do you live When Jesus and John the Baptist preached the gospel, the first words were, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Today the Lord speaks to us. “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous from his thoughts, let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy; come to our God, and he will forgive widely” (Isaiah 55:7).
