#HumbleServanthood
“그렇게 가장 위대한 선지자임에도 불구하고 화로다 화로다 나는 입술이 부정한 사람이다 라고 고백하고 있습니다 그게 가장 경건한 사람인 줄 믿습니다 할렐루야 우리 입술 때문에 누군가 상처를 받았다고 고백하고 나의 입술에 파수꾼을 세우는 것이 하나님이 원하시는 가장 사명의 사람의 모습이라는 것입니다 그렇기 때문에 그런 사람들은 비교하지 않습니다 우리가 설교를 들을 때 저거는 제가 들어야 되는데 하지 않습니다 설교를 들을 때 이것은 나를 향한 말씀이다 라고 고백합니다 할렐루야 너 그때 그 말씀 꼭 들었어야 되는데 못 들어서 안타깝다라고 말할 것이 아니라 그 말씀은 나를 향한말씀이야 라고 고백해야 되는 것이죠 선교사님들이 가장 힘들어하는 것이 그 땅의 한 영혼을 사랑하는 게 어렵다는 것입니다 왜냐하면 그분들이 거짓말을 잘하세요 그분들이 사기를 잘 칩니다 비즈니스 애즈미션을 하다 보면 그분들이 꼭 월급을 미리 가져가세요 이게 무슨 의미인지 아십니까?”

“If he can convince you that you're something that you're not, he can affect how you end up living your life. And so here we see somewhat of a picture of satanic strategy in our lives of how the enemy comes along and he wants to give you a name that doesn't fit who you really are as a born again follower of Jesus Christ. So it's extremely important that you know who you are, that you carry the right name, the right identity inside of you. You need to know, yes, I'm born again, but as a born again follower of Jesus, this is who I am.”

“But how's my connection to my classmates in the school of wisdom? When's the last time you were able to share with someone else kind of what you were learning and wrestling with and how to live out Jesus' instructions in this life. Does that ever come up in your conversations? Do you have friends with whom you can have those it's not the only thing we talk about. But, wow, if this is important, if this is what Jesus is building and we're part of this, like, what does that look like in your life?”

“Now, can you imagine sharing a message about speaking about the perversion of our culture today? Beyond that, you know, we speak, there was someone who was beat up, who had traumatic brain injuries previously, and then just this past week, he was sharing a message in New York City. And despite having traumatic brain injuries, he was repeatedly punched in the head by unknown assailants. And what was the message he was sharing? He was sharing, and he was concussed again, it seems, and it's to to be determined what's gonna happen with him. But he he was sharing the message that our brothers and sisters in the womb deserve just as much protection from murder as babies who are born.”

“Most of most of my former youth group students, they understand Jesus at a teen level, a teenager's level because that's when they walked away from church. But the issues they're struggling with, the issues they wrestle, the issues of why they cite they walked away from church and from God, those are adult complex issues and teenager understanding of Jesus isn't enough to face those complex issues. I'm not belittling their faith, I'm just saying you can't solve calculus with just algebra. How do we help bridge that gap with them?”

#MissionBeyondComfort
“우리 하나님의 보좌를 봅니다 할렐루야 여러분 오늘 하나님의 보자를 바라보시기를 바랍니다 선교는 세상이 안전하기 때문에 하는 것이 아닙니다 경제가 좋아졌기 때문에 하는 것이 아닙니다 국제정세가 안정적일 때 선교가 잘 되는 것이 아닙니다 참 재미있게도 제가 얼마 전에 오만의 한 성교사님을 만나 뵈었는데요 이 오만의 성교사님이 너무 신기하게도 자기가 20몇 년 사역을 했지만은 한 명도 예수님을 믿고 구하는 사람들이 없었는데 최근 10년간에 오만의 예수님을 믿는 사람들이 많아지고 있다는 거예요 너무나 신기하죠?”

#SeeGodBigger
“그래서 선교회 가장 근본적인 위기가 있다면 우리 교회가 참 선교를 잘하다가 참 어려워지는 위기가 온다면 그것은 사람이 없어져서가 아닙니다 돈이 부족해서가 아닙니다 우리가 프로그램을 잘 못 돌려서가 아닙니다 사실 우리의 가장 큰 위기는 하나님을 작게 보는 것입니다 하나님을 작게 보는 것 그게 위기입니다 크신 하나님을 바라보시기를 주예로 불러 추천드립니다 우리가 위기가 온다는 건 그 하나님을 잃어버리는 것이죠 하나님을 더 이상 보지 않고 있는 우리의 마음인 것이죠 그런데 하나님을 크게 본다면 선교는 특권이 됩니다 그 위대하신 하나님 앞에 나 같은 사람을 보내주심에 감사하게 될 수밖에 없습니다 여러분, 존 파이퍼 목사님이 여러분 잘 하시는 그런 말을 하잖아요 예배가 없기 때문에 선교가 존재한다 선교란 무엇이냐?”

“See, it's You have to understand who am I because you'll never stand strong under pressure unless your identity is right. You are a sinner that has been forgiven and you have been saved by God's mercy and grace. You are a new person. You have a new nature. You are a child of God. You are a difference maker in your world. And number five, you are a representative of Jesus Christ. That's who you are.”
24s
“That's what makes you a child of God, to be born into the family of God. Put your faith in Jesus Christ that he died on the cross for your sins and he rose from the grave. He's the son of God. You put your faith personally in him and you're brought into the family. Then you can say to God, you are my father. Okay. Why? Because you've birthed me into your kingdom through the work of the Holy Spirit.”

#주님안에서당당하게
“그 주님이 그렇게 부르시는 거죠 그런데 그거가 오늘 우리가 말씀을 들으면서 지금 만나면 복이죠 왜냐하면 바꿀 수 있으니까 그리고 내가 나로 당당하게 사는 훈련을 자꾸 하는 거예요 여러분 집에 가면 좀 편안하죠 왜냐하면 있는 그대로 살아도 되니까 그런데 밖에 나오면 여러분 치장하고 나와야 되잖아요 치장이 자꾸 하면 화장도 되고 화장도 조금 더 지나면 나중에 변장이 된다면요 위장도 하고 그렇게 안타까운 모습을 해야만 우리가 나올 수 있고 그런 게 아니라 우리 주님 만나서 주님 안에서 당당하게 살면서 잘못하면 죄송해요 도와주세요 그러면서 가정의 식구들끼리 부모와 자식이 부부가 이렇게 살면 그럼 행복하죠 항상 가려놓고 잘한 것만 들춰내고 그다음에 상대의 부족만 공격을 하고 공격하는 이유는 단 한 가지예요 내가 공격 안 받으려고 여러분 최선의 방어가 뭔지 아세요 선제공격입니다.”
