(Luke 16:1-2) “[1] He also said to his disciples, “There is a rich man who has a steward, and it has been told his master that he is wasting his possessions. What do you mean? Count what you saw. You will not be able to continue your stewardship.”

(The meaning of the report card is not that it is good or bad, but it can be said to be a mark that positively shows the outstanding side of the person.
It can be said to be a beautiful thought of us and our ancestors who are truly wise.
At the end of the year,
Apply to good colleges with college entrance exam scores.
In the meantime, I apply for a good job with my skills that I have sharpened.
In addition, awards are given to those who do the best in each field.
A steward made a mistake in the text we read today.
The owner, who noticed Chen, suggested that we calculate what we have been doing so far.
Now the steward is concerned.
Because if you do the calculation, your mistake will be exposed.
What do we need to do to get good grades?
The basics of Hangeul are ,,, kana da la,,,,
The basics of English are A B C D,,,,
The basics of mathematics are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
If we do the calculation of our faith well, we will get a good faith score.
1, you need to be good at addition. - We must add works to our faith.
Who will you model?
The Statue of Liberty, which today is the symbol of America, is the work of French sculptor Bartholdi. Originally, the French government promised $4 million to build the statue for the United States, but it didn't go well.
In the end, Bartholdi invested all of his fortune and took 20 years to sculpt this work. However, one concern arose.
The problem was who to sculpt the face of this statue on as a model.
Several famous people were considered, but in the end, after much deliberation, he
I decided to use my mother, who gave birth to me, raised me, and loved me as my model.
The statue of liberty that impresses anyone who visits New York is the image of Bartholdi's mother.
Who can our children model their lives today?
As a life model for all people, I should be able to become a saint who is not ashamed.
(Luke 17:5) “The apostles said to the Lord, “Give us more faith.”
We have faith.
However, it is not possible to live a life of complete faith only by that faith.
That faith is a saving faith.
There is nothing wrong with going to heaven.
However, in order to live on this earth and show the image of a saint, some action is required.
So, we have one more thing to add to that belief.
That's action. (also called action)
As the saying goes, “A bead is a treasure if it is threaded at least in words.”
There are good gems, but if you leave them alone, they are nothing,
It must be threaded so that it can be seen by other people while hanging around the neck as a rain.
Here are some good cars.
Benz is good, BMW is good too. Grands,,,, Santa Fe,,,,
The car is full of oil.
But if no one is driving, it's just for display.
Someone has to ride and drive to get anywhere.
I have a nice car, and it's full of oil,
For display purposes only if no one is driving.
Then it will not be able to fulfill the role of a car.
When it rains, it snows, and the wind blows, it rots and becomes useless.
God saved us through faith.
We each have our own talents.
There are some good skills that no one else can match.
God also gave us faith.
Now all you have to do is drive.
Now all you have to do is move on to action.
But I try not to move.
If I leave it alone, what will happen?
It will rot and become unusable.
This is what it means to add to faith.
Just as a net catches a lot of fish,
Let us cast the net of faith today.
So let's become a good faith that receives God's great blessings.
(James 2:14) “My brethren, if a man says he has faith, but has no works, what profit is it? can faith save him?”
2, You must be good at subtraction. - We must cast away hate, iniquity, and worry.
There was a small pond next to a deep mountain trail.
Now there is only dirty water and nothing is living,
Once upon a time, there lived two pretty crucian carp in this pond.
But one day, the crucian carps were biting each other and fighting.
Eventually, one of them dies and floats on the water.
The flesh of the dead crucian carp rotted away.
Then the water from the pond also rotted in.
A crucian carp who thought he had won, thought to live alone forever, ate rotten water, and after a while the crucian carp died as well.
So, in the small pond next to the deep mountain trail, there is now only dirty water and nothing inhabits it.
If there is a reason many people fail in life today,
Because you don't know how to throw it away.
Dirty things must be thrown away,
Bad habits should be thrown away
I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't throw it away
that is being suffered.
(Job 11:14) “If there is iniquity in your hand, put it away, and let no iniquity dwell in your tent.”
(2 Timothy 2:16) “Put away vain and vain speech, for they go further and further in ungodliness.”
(1 Peter 5:7) “Cast your anxieties on him, and he takes care of you.”
hatred of others,
Evil things that are wrong in me,
Please let go of all the worries that suppress me in life.
3, You must be good at multiplication - You must multiply the passion of prayer.
Elisha's servant Elisha prayed for double power.
(2 Kings 2:9) "As they passed by, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I must do with you before he takes me from you." Elisha said, "I ask that your inspiration be doubled to me."
Indeed, Elisha's miracle occurs 16 times, twice that of Elijah.
Elisha's passionate prayer received such a blessing.
God's blessing is multiplication, not addition.
I believe that you will be blessed with double,,,, 30 times, 60 times, 100 times, and 10,000 times blessings.
The prayer of Jabez =
(1 Chronicles 4:10) “Jabez called to the God of Israel, saying, “I pray that you will bless me and enlarge my borders, and help me with your hand, so that I may be out of trouble and have no trouble.” He allowed it.”
wouldest bless me - best blessings,,,,
The economy these days doesn't make sense.
Not only in Korea, but all over the world,
But I believe that God will train and bless us through these difficulties.
I think it's a way to properly build up our proud humans in the midst of material abundance. This is because people cannot bow their heads before God unless there are difficulties.
David's Passion = To Goliath
(1 Samuel 17:32) "David said to Saul, "Let no man be discouraged because of him, for your servant will go and fight that Philistine."
(Titus 2:14) “He gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify us, that we might become a people of his own, zealous for good works.”
4, You must be good at division - Blessings and love must be shared.
There is no cost to listen to the Word and be inspired to confess, “Lord, I will live for you.”
However, it costs a lot of money to put that confession into practice.
The same is true.
A promise to “I will live with love” does not require sacrifice, but living like that requires a sacrifice of enduring everything.
Therefore, the secret of love that can endure all the sacrifices with joy is essential to the practice of perfect love.
He was at the forefront of the mission of prostitutes and hopeless souls in the slums, and he said this in a broadcast conversation.
“Pastor, aren’t these people whose body is broken and their soul is also broken? In response to the announcer’s question, “Aren’t there more people who cannot come back to their new lives even though the pastor puts so much effort into them?”
“Of course, there are many more who cannot find a new life despite our efforts. But what can we do other than love so much?”
Love is not afraid to sacrifice.
Because if you are giving for God, you have nothing to waste.
I ask you - Ahn Do-hyun
Do not kick briquettes with your feet,
Have you ever warmed up others?
I think it's a really touching verse.
(Luke 6:38) “Give, and it will be given to you; and it will be given to you, pressed generously, pressed down, shaking, and overflowing, and given to you.
Dear saints,
At the end of the year 2008,
Please see the report card of our faith.
What will the Lord see and say?
Are you good at addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?
Then you have 100 points.
But,
If you are still not satisfied with your score,
What is wrong? Please take a look.
add action to belief,
Let go of discouragement and hatred,
zeal for the Lord multiplies,
Let's share the blessings you have given me. Amen !
