How did you live?
Text: Romans 12:9-21
There is a subject called science. Looking at the first chapter of that sermon, “Above all,
To be good at teaching, you have to know the level and reaction of your audience.”
The topic appears.
No matter who we talk to, we need to know who the other person is.
As it is, it is very different that you have to know the other person well to preach
I don't think it's common logic.
Not long ago, in a religious magazine, I had to preach at least three or four times a week.
A survey of “who is the most difficult to preach” to pastors
I saw that the results of the investigation were being loaded. There, the first object
They are called the elders of the church. Of course, the elders believe in many things
He probably gave these answers because he was high-level and well-informed in many ways.
It's like.
Second were the older priests of the church, perhaps
I think it's because I heard a lot of sermons and my listening level and skills are very high.
know as
Third, the target audience that is difficult to preach is the so-called elite young people.
statistic numbers were obtained. In fact, young people these days know a lot
Because the rotation is fast, it is difficult to get a response after giving a decent sermon.
Ooh, that's hard.
But if you had done the same survey for me, to be honest,
I am not going to answer that these three types of classes are such a difficult subject.
Instead, answer separately that I have three kinds of audiences that are the most difficult to preach.
I will.
The first audience is God.
God not only knows the whole process from when I was preparing a sermon, but also
Knowing everything from sitting down to getting up, even the thoughts you have in your heart
Because of that, I think that you will be listening to all my sermons. Indeed, every time I preach, two
I can't stop my heart pounding and trembling.
The second audience, I'm sorry, but they're from my household.
My wife and I have been living with me for over a decade, and my personality, behavior,
Because I know so well about it, preaching in front of
It can be difficult and burdensome.
The third audience is myself.
The one who knows me better than anyone else is myself. he is preaching
Having to listen to it yourself is sometimes rewarding and enjoyable.
It can be, but sometimes it can be painful and painful.
All.
In fact, even for a pastor who must always preach the word, the pain and suffering that no one knows about
There may be. Sometimes, the content of a carefully prepared message is explicit.
There are some people who reject it because of
There are times when you have to suffer.
In this case, not as a servant who preaches the word of God, but as a human being.
The weakness and weakness of the book can be exposed as it is. sermon right here
It can be seen that there are crises and challenges of the self.
Today's sermon is titled "How I Lived". This title is The Deliverer
I give my listeners a solemn look back on their past and present lives.
It has a strong and challenging meaning. The text I read today
I would like to select 10 questions from among the sermons and ask them to various believers.
All. We encourage you to answer these questions in your mind as you go through them one by one.
1. The first question is as the first half of verse 9 says, “I am truly born.
Did you live your life loving God and your neighbor without lies?"
Perhaps in this world it is used as common as love, but as difficult as love
And I think there are no complicated words.
If someone asks us, "What is love?"
I don't think anyone can give a clear answer in one word.
is. Some people say, "Love is giving generously." or "Tear secretly."
"It's about saving each other.", "It's about caring for each other." "It's about not sparing lives."
It will be answered with words such as "Everyone."
However, I don't think either of them is a satisfactory answer.
Then it would be better to say, "Love is something that cannot be defined."
Rather, I think it would be a more accurate and honest definition.
In today's text, there is a saying, "There is no lie in love."
In other words, it speaks of the sincerity of love. Sincerity doesn't change
It means to be persistent.
If you say you love once, you will love unchangingly until you die.
that is love. A change of heart or parting in the middle is never love
It cannot be.
Some people start out with love to give, and then love to receive along the way.
You can find cases where you want to replace it with . Someone else is like the sky
There are cases where you start out with love and end up with a love like millet.
There is.
Among lovers who meet for the first time and whisper love, "Oh my sunshine!", "Oh
My sea!" and "Oh my angel!"
It's possible.
However, as the years passed, the sunlight was covered by dark clouds and the sea
When the raging wave rises high, "Oh, that's what love is", "After all, life is
This is what it is.” “There are no lies in love.
Nani."
In the meantime, several members of the church have been together with themselves, their families, neighbors,
How much have you lived your life loving the Lord without lies?
In the book of Revelation, about the church in Ephesus, "Have a chat first"
is being given a word of command. That is, go back to the origin and buy the first
I'm telling you to think about Lang for a moment. The pure and true that I had in the beginning
In the end, we will end up with the dreadful hypocrisy of love, unless we turn back to a true and hot love.
You have to keep in mind that you have no choice but to become yourself.
2. The second question is, “Have you hated evil and belonged to good?” (verse 9).
We say we belong to the good, yet we love evil and we love sin.
also do. A commentator named Bengel said, "Do not hate evil.
People are not really lovers of goodness.”
Most of the time, even when we see something wrong, we ignore it, and when we know that it is evil,
"A generous person, a virtuous person" refers to a person who overdos
It is often referred to as
But it is not good or virtue, but by neglecting evil in the end
It cannot but be another terrifying evil with terrifying consequences.
Suppose there is a patient here who is suffering from some critical illness.
Let's see. But the doctor asks whether the patient will be shocked or feel pain.
Look, what would happen if I gave him some painkillers and sent him home That
when the doctor can be said to be the murderer who killed the person indirectly
is.
If he truly loves the patient, put him on the operating table right away.
You will have to cut the area without hesitation.
This is the advantage that I sometimes experience difficulties in the ministry.
All. Clearly say what is wrong is wrong and correct what needs to be corrected.
I pointed it out, but I hate to hear it, and in the end, I take full responsibility for all kinds of bad reviews
is trying to pass it on.
I do not want to fear anyone's judgment or slander. because
Because there is only one God who will one day judge me, good or evil.
All. We hate sin, but we should never hate man.
In any case, our members are like lions when it comes to evil, and when it comes to good
I hope you will live like a sheep.
3. The third question is in verse 10, “Love brothers and be kind to one another.
Did we do the lightwork for each other first?"
To love brothers is agape love.
As we know, Jesus was cut off on the Sea of Galilee after his resurrection.
Three times he said to Dreau, "Do you love me with unconditional agape love?
Each time, Peter answered, "I have regarded the Lord as the conditional Phileo.
You know that you love with love."
You said, "Feed my sheep, feed my sheep."
Why did Jesus respond that Peter had conditional love?
Did I tell you to feed and feed the sheep? Perhaps the reason is that Peter's answer is you
It must have been because Muna was a sincere and candid confession.
In fact, no matter how much agape love we believers
is actually nothing but phileo love.
If someone actually has a conditional Phileo love, but is unconditional
If you say you love agape, that's nothing but abhorrent hypocrisy in the middle of the day
You won't be able to.
Agape is agape and phileo is phileo.
I know that this is the gist of the text.
If there is one decisive reason for us to love and fraternize our brothers,
It means that our Lord shed His blood for us who are poor. yes
In John 15:13, the Apostle John said, “A man can make his own for a friend.
There is no greater love than this if you lay down your life."
What can many saints answer now in front of these words?
how?
4. The fourth question is, "I was not lazy in diligence, I was zealous to serve the Lord.
Is it? (11)
The truth of Christianity is not in meditation or theory, but in practice and action.
From a historical point of view, unfortunately, our people have been influenced by Buddhism and Confucianism.
It has been deeply rooted in the pessimistic ideology and face culture and has been passed down to the present.
It is a fact that exists. So, playing and eating without putting dirt on your hands is one of the beauty.
It has been regarded as a virtue and success.
As a result, farming, making machinery, and doing business are all geniuses.
It has been institutionalized as what they do. Korea is now Western or the United States,
Compared to Japan, the fact that they are not spared from the situation of a backward country is actually a ger
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is because of the national consciousness that has been glorified.
In a word, laziness is not only a cancer factor that destroys families and countries, but also
It is a direct rejection of God's command to "sweat your forehead".
there is no doubt about it.
We must be diligent and zealous, especially when we are to serve the Lord.
is. It is said that it is very difficult for the saints to come out to the morning prayer, no matter how early
If you look at me, you can see that the taxi drivers are already out.
He is so zealous to earn a penny, but he is lazy in serving the Lord.
can you come?
The more you sleep, the more it gets, and the more you don't use your head, the worse it gets.
it will be Being lazy is a kind of evil. And when will the Lord be the last
You will surely judge the "wicked and lazy servant" in that day.
Our members are not afraid of judgment, but are moved by the grace and blessings they have received.
I hope that you will serve the Lord diligently and diligently while forgiving.
