Today’s theme is walking in humility. It is the humble who belong to the kingdom of heaven. Daniel 4:37 says, “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” This is today’s theme: walking in humility. Let’s read chapter 4. Verses 2 and

However, don’t you think it would be a great compliment if someone said, “You really remind me of Jesus”? Because, that is one goal of the Christian—to be like Christ Jesus. And since we believe Jesus is the Son of God, it implies that our goal is to resemble God, to reflect his image. This is my topic for

Do you know how many times we must be born to enter the kingdom of God? How many times? Once? No!  We must be born twice. We must be born twice to see the kingdom of God. We must be born twice to be part of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God refers to the reign of God in human hearts now that will one day be over all the earth. Entering the kingdom

[Acts 9:26-31] 26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about

One of the prophecies was about a rock cut out of a mountain (2:45), which symbolized that the rule of the Romans and all other powers would be destroyed, and there would be a new kingdom. That rock which is stronger than anything is the Messiah. The Messiah to be born was Jesus, and the followers of this Messiah would spread throughout the world, going beyond national borders and eras of history. The

As you work during the week, I’m doing some work during the week. Guess what? I’m teaching Korean to a group of Japanese people. I teach them for an hour and a half per week. Personally, I think my students need to practice not once a week, but six times a week to improve their Korean skills. I mean almost everyday. If they do

There’s an old man near the school who shouts at people walking by: ‘右歩け! Walk on the right side of the road!’” “Who does he think he is?!” she told me. Sure enough, I encountered this man. He shouted at me, “右歩け,ばかやろう! Walk on the right, you stupid idiot!” Now, it’s a different story if a police officer told us to walk on the right side of the road. We would probably obey the officer, even if there were
