We must discover the lost basics
Acts 6:1~7 Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word. (3~4)

The fundamental purpose of doing the Gospel movement is for the “word of God to spread (Acts 6:7).” This is the reason why we prepare our specialties, invest in the future generations, and unite as people with the Gospel who are receiving evangelism training. When the correct Word movement arises region by region, we will receive correct answers. From this point on, we will create a Gospel-centered culture. To do this work, we must urgently discover the basics that are presently lost.
1. The basics of the church
Knowledge of the literal definition of the church is important, but what is more pressing is for the pulpit from which the Word is relayed to be revived. The Gospel must be properly proclaimed from the pulpit, and important disciples must hold firmly to the Word. The administration of the church must proceed while holding firmly onto the pulpit message. If this takes place, no real problems will arise from within the church. It is at this point that the work of the Word begins to arise in each region.
2. Basic duties
We must also rediscover the basics regarding the titles we are given and the duties attached. First, the pastor delivers the sermon from the pulpit. In other words, he is the messenger of the pulpit. Lay people are the messengers of the field, and the Remnants are the messengers of the future. Of course, it is possible to become a messenger right away, but we must always think about and prepare for the future. That is why the RUTC is being constructed as a platform to raise the Remnants.
3. The basics of work
We must not lose the fundamental essence of the basics of work. The fundamental essence of all the work we undertake is the fact that Jesus is the Christ. It may seem like there are so many other things involved in the work we do, but we must not lose hold of this fundamental essence. If we pursue our work in this way, we will receive answers, and we will begin to see God’s most important time schedule. Furthermore, we will see God’s plan, and the kingdom of God will come upon us. When we possess this mystery, God will give us eternal answers.
