The masterpiece of the Remnant
Psalm 78:72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #410 There Comes to My Heart (#468 in previous version)
According to what I have, the eyes with which I see change and my judgment also changes. Legalistic people judge with a legalistic standard, and we speak ill of people utilizing our own standard of measurement. Although the heart God has given is true peace and true hope, the majority of people are not able to enjoy the truth that God gives. In the world, more than we can imagine, greed overflows, and it makes it so that physical thoughts precede spiritual thoughts. In order to save the dying souls and field, there is something the evangelist must be equipped with.
1. The masterpiece to save the world
When David was in the sheep pen, there were not just good things. When there was a hardship or a joyful incident, he wrote writings and left behind his confessions of faith. It is important to develop the habit of leaving behind records starting from a young age. This is the important method to find the answer God has given. While grabbing hold of the pulpit message, you must share the answers received among believers and record them; you must discover what answers were fulfilled throughout the one week. If you record even small events and find answers amidst problems, you can triumph like David.
2. The masterpiece of the evangelist
Recording the grace of God and making your life’s story while living all the time, you must leave behind writings, drawings and masterpieces and confirm the grace you received from God. Already, the world holds the power of leadership through the diverse culture, has plowed into finances and politics, and has seized the hearts and minds of people. In order to save the many people who are seized by the darkness, people must gain strength through the masterpiece of the evangelist and we must make it so they receive answers. When I try to make the masterpiece for the sake of today’s Word, prayer and evangelism in every aspect of my life, I can start the lifestyle of the evangelist.
3. Cultural masterpiece
So many people who are a part of countless religious organizations and have incorrect ideologies are leaving behind masterpieces in the culture. Culture is something anyone can easily encounter and receive. In the future, cultural masterpieces that can save people who need God’s grace must be made. Although making a lot of preparations to become evangelism disciples and going to diverse fields is important, when you record your confessions of faith and answers, and meditate, the answer of making masterpieces to save the world begins. Culture is an important door for the evangelism movement.
- When things are difficult or you have fallen into despair, like David, leave behind your confession of faith as a masterpiece. Mission Home Training Message / 2011.11.29
