Fw: 290-God's Answers and Blessings Overflow in My Life after Listening to the 'Seed of Life' Sermon

God's Answers and Blessings Overflow in My Life after Listening to the 'Seed of Life' Sermon

Senior Deaconess Sungsook Kwon (Parish 3-29, 2-4th Women's Mission) 'My hair is falling out continually!' Since my birth I have had thin hair, and after getting aged, the hair on the top of head began falling out. I tried my best to take good care of the hair because I had to wear the Korean traditional dress, Hanbok, but it was not effective. I was severely distressed in my mind until I came to think, 'Shall I wear a wig partially?' Meantime, while listening to Dr. Lee's message on 'The Seed of Life' delivered at Friday all-night service, amazing change occurred in my mind. In his messages, Dr. Lee emphasized that if we listen to the 4-session series message more than 10 times and apply it to our life with faith our life would overflow with blessing and answer. I obeyed and received real blessing. Above all, I felt the love of God deep within my heart listening to the 4-session message 'The Seed of Life.' And I realized how precious my being in the sight of God because I learned the truth about God's creation of human beings and the seeds of life: that God the Creator formed the first man of dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils; that He planted into us the seed of life that has the original light of God in it; and that after we receive the Holy Spirit the seed of life within us revives by the Holy Spirit and we can become God's true children. Thus, I became assured that a shortcut to repaying the grace and love of God is for me to accomplish the heart of God and come forth as His true child. And I came to feel how precious my husband and brothers and sisters in Christ are in a same way that I am deemed precious in God's sight. I discovered that I had fulfilled the task as a district leader in my own self-righteousness, not in the righteousness of God and so I had not been considerate of other believers. I repented of that wrongdoing and began being careful in my words and actions. I tried my best to speak and act only with goodness. I looked at the other's good points and tried to encourage them. Seeing them encouraged and running the race of faith joyfully, I was happy. Thus, after I listened to the message "The Seed of Life" many times, my heart and faith became greatly renewed, and God gave me the grace and the fullness of the Spirit. In that grace, last July, I had a special experience. One day, while combing my hair to attend the District Prayer Meeting, I found my hair on the head had become rich. It was totally unexpected, and I was so moved and glad. As I could hairstyle myself beautifully in visiting church members, I did not shrink back in my heart anymore and did everything confidently. The owner of the Cult Hair Beauty Salon, who had styled my hair for a few years, said, "Her hair was very thin and poor. But now she has very rich and thick hair. I am wondering what she had done with it." God also gave me better health so that I could wear high-heeled shoes. Until then I used to wear comfortable and low loafers because I felt tired with high-heeled shoes. Many members of my district received blessing and answer after they listened to the 4-session message "The Seed of Life": a new believer Brother Sangdon Lee was healed of 10-year dermatitis on the head and quitted smoking and drinking; Deaconess Sooki Kim received blessing at her business; Deacon Hyungryul Han could exercise self-control and lost his weight by 6 kg; Senior Deaconess Guiyeon Choi was healed of allergic dermatitis; and Deacon Taesoon Lee was healed of the pain on the back of his head. I give all thanks and glory to the living God and our Savior Jesus Christ. And I appreciate Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee who has planted the hope for New Jerusalem into my heart, helped me lead a life filled with the Holy Spirit and led me to the path to spiritual and material blessing through the special message 'The Seed of Life."

Fw: 289-We Came to Have a Baby in 5 Years after Marriage

We Came to Have a Baby in 5 Years after Marriage

Alex Oh Keng Swee and Fiona New Shing Pheng (The Church of Resurrection, Singapore) We want to give thanks and praise to the Lord with this testimony. And we thank Dr. Jaerock Lee for his laying hands on us to pray for us. We were married in 2003, but having babies was not our priority nor was it part of our plan. Three years later, in 2006, we decided to embark on our next stage of life and thought that it was time for us to have babies to complete our family. We tried our best for the following 2 years, but we did not conceive. We tried and we sought medical help; modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, but none was successful. In September 2008, with God's grace we came to Manmin Central Church, and had a meeting with Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. He laid his hand on and prayed for me and my wife. After that my wife became pregnant and in December 2009 we had our first baby Lucas. God is good, and everything that we prayed to Him came true. Lucas was a healthy, cute and smart baby. During our first visit to Manmin in 2008, Dr. Lee prayed for us; the second time in 2009 we went to Manmin expecting Lucas; and this summer in 2010 we brought Lucas along! Our family joined the 2010 summer retreat, and we witnessed miracles performed by God: dragonflies landed on us, even on Lucas' head; the weather was exceptionally good. Each time we were at Manmin, we were cordially hosted, and the church members are friendly, thoughtful and helpful. We are always blessed to have a meeting with Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee and his prayer for us. Lastly, we want to share our joy with everyone in Manmin. After we returned to Singapore, we found out that we are going to have our second baby, who is scheduled to be born in April 2011. For all these, we want to give thanks and glory to our heavenly Father. May God continue to bless Dr. Jaerock Lee and Manmin Central Church with all the branches and members globally!

Fw: 288-Hoping to Become an Organist Who Heals Many People in Spirit and Flesh

Hoping to Become an Organist Who Heals Many People in Spirit and Flesh

Deaconess Sunja Kim (Canaan Missioin, Parish 1-5) In 1982, when Manmin Church was founded, I saw my father completely healed through the prayer of Pastor Jaerock Lee. Currently my father, Pastor Youngsuk Kim, is serving the church as the General Guidance Teacher of Paul's Mission. While attending the worship service, I was so touched to see pianists and other players offering beautiful performances to God the Father, so I came to harbor a dream to become a pianist who glorifies God. At 9, I began learning to play the piano, but at 12 I had to give it up because of my family's financial situation. Five years later, when I was 17 years old, I was able to practice playing the piano again by the grace of God. One day one of my seniors at my high school recommended to me that I learn to play the organ. From that time I possessed a new dream of becoming an organist, and 2 years later in 1997, I entered the Seoul Theological University, the School of Church Music, and majored in the organ. Began Having Organ Recitals by the Grace of God in the Midst of the Refinements of Faith In 2001, I graduated and began playing the organ during the worship services of my church, Manmin Central Church. I continually felt I had to improve my skills because there was a limitation in my personal practice. I wanted to study and learn, but the actual situations did not allow me to do it. In September of 2007, my former professor at the university contacted me and I was given a good chance to learn the organ from him. Three months later, in December of 2007, I held a pipe organ recital for the first time, and during the following 3 years I had organ recitals every year. In preparation for the concerts and recitals, thorough practice and unceasing training always followed prayer. As for me, I found myself practicing the organ as much as I saw fit and the same manner of life was found in my life of faith. My professor advised me saying, "While you are playing the organ, you are not listening to what the music is saying and instead you are trying to make the music follow your own thoughts." I repented and came to harbor even whatever little words he taught me, and to practice much more attentively. And I began trying my best to interpret exact meanings of each music piece and practiced organ performing techniques. Music scores then looked different to me and I felt my music abilities improving. Sometimes I wanted to rest and give it up, but I endeavored renewing my heart by prayer and made all efforts until I had the assurance of my very best. I received Senior Pastor's prayer in season and reminded myself of the purpose of playing the organ. My offering the performances worthy of glorification of God required me to have as much prayer, love and patience. As the result of such patient trainings, I had recitals and I grew up in spirit. My Faith Renewed, My Heart Filled with the Lord's Love In August of 2010, in preparation for the trip to Europe for more study, God allowed for me to look back at my past life and thoroughly repent of my wrongdoings and errors. Among other things I repented with many tears and rending heart that I did not embrace my younger brother during our childhood; that I had not cultivated my heart by the Words of God I have heard for such a long time; that I had not prayed for my parents. I felt excruciatingly deep within my heart the love of my Savior Jesus who died on the cross for me—such a sinner that I couldn't see the cross without tears and I couldn't look at the Senior Pastor without shedding tears. I felt so sorry before God that I had not served little children and not given heartfelt thanks to God while I felt under trials. The grace of God for my salvation was so great that I couldn't endure with anything else. Later I noticed all I can do to repay His grace is cast away every form of evil, and since afterwards, I did my best to offer prayer and praise with my heart and fasted as many times as possible whenever my sins and sin natures were discovered. On July 17, I received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for my trip to Europe and then prepared everything for it successfully. Desiring to Renew As Many Souls through the Performance The 13-day music journey in the four European countries—Austria, Italy, Slovenia and Germany I had from August 5 through 17 was a good chance for me to play the pipe-organ in Europe, the hometown of music and study the footprints of many historically famous musicians. Looking at the clear and blue sky, white and fluffy clouds, beautiful lakes, trees and flowers, elegant and praiseworthy buildings and palaces, great artworks, and magnificent pipe organs in cathedrals, my hope for the City of New Jerusalem became strong and determined to surely enter New Jerusalem. The most memorable thing to me during the 13-day journey and study was the night sky I saw from the window of an upper room of the tallest house in Austria. The beautiful scenery of the sky and the Alps was gorgeously displayed. A great multitude of shining stars in various sizes and colors seemed to be falling down upon me. I felt I was alone in the vast universe and the sublimity and magnificence of it was beyond description. I was amazed at the wonder of the universe, and I sang the song "How Great Thou Art" without knowing. I looked at that night sky for more than an hour to put the beauty and God's love in my heart, and it very fortunate that I saw stars move and shooting stars. When I played the organ at the Maribor Cathedral in Slovenia, the cathedral's organist and church workers came to me and said it was such a wonderful performance, and asked me to visit there and play the organ once again. They testified that when they heard my performance with prayerful heart, their burdens and problems in heart had been resolved. I was encouraged at their words and experienced God's work that heals the souls of their broken heart through the fragrance of performance and music that are pleasing to God. After completing the 13-day study journey on the way back home on the plane, I saw a clear circular rainbow surrounding the shadow of the plane and rejoiced with indescribable joy. I can never explain the touching emotion of the promise of the Lord's being with me through the rainbow. I am still a person with deficiency and not an excellent player. But I am increasingly realizing the love of God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and Senior Pastor and believe the way to pay back for the love is to try my best up to the point of sanctifying my heart with the truth and offering God-pleasing performance and music to God. I hope to share this great love given freely with as many souls as I will be able. I give all thanks and glory to God and the Lord Jesus Christ and I send my heartfelt thanks to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee.

Fw: 287-The Best Hairdresser's Shop with a Kind Staff and Fragrant Coffee

The Best Hairdresser's Shop with a Kind Staff and Fragrant Coffee

Deacon Hyuntae Kim (Eastern Kwangju Manmin Church, Choi- Autumn Hairdresser's Shop) My elder brother said to me, "Hyuntae! There are places called Heaven and Hell really exist. Just seeing the various signs and wonders manifested through Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, we can know God is really alive." I had already thought that there is a maker who created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, but when my elder brother preached the gospel to me with such full assurance, I went to attend Eastern Kwangju Manmin Church in September of 2007 to see for myself. Dr. Jaerock Lee's message was so touching to me. He sometimes smiled and sometimes wept at the illustrations of goodness and testimonies of the believers. This allowed for me to feel his truthfulness, love and goodness. From that time on I enjoyed listening to his messages. When he said "Not everyone who calls, 'Lord, Lord' can enter the kingdom of Heaven" and described about Hell, I was really sobered up! I came to realize that only those who do the will of God can enter the kingdom of Heaven. I have tried ever since to live by the Word of God, including paying the whole tithe with joy from the first month of my church attendance. At first and for about 7 months I attended only Sunday morning service and opened my hairdressers' shop that was located in the downtown section of the Kwangju City. I did it because I didn't have the exact knowledge of what it meant to keep the Lord's Day holy. Shortly after I learned it, I closed the shop on Sundays. The income I received didn't decrease and it caused my faith to grow. My hairdresser's shop is so well known that we have many renowned clients including announcers, reporters, PD's, and writers from KBS (Korea Broadcasting System) and MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation). Three years ago I was chosen as the best hairdresser in the Kwangju City by MBC. In February of 2009, my shop was always crowded with many more clients and I moved the shop into the area of Kwangsan-Gu in the Kwangju City. Many people around me thought that my choice of moving my shop into the area far away from the downtown area was a mistake. But by the prayer of Dr. Jaerock Lee and loving concerns of Eastern Kwangju Manmin Church, I opened a new shop with faith and named it 'Choi-Autumn Hairdresser's." On that day a circular rainbow appeared on the sky. My heart overflowed with joy and gratitude at having seen the rainbow of God's covenant. I frequently recall the rainbow and run the shop with thanksgiving. I believed the shop would prosper with the presence of God, and led a fervent life in faith. As soon as I closed the shop late at night, I ran to the church to attend Daniel Prayer Meeting even if it was almost the closing time. I prayed fervently and asked God to allow me the better job condition in which I would be able to lead a better believing life. When special church events were held at Manmin Central Church in Seoul, I participated in the events. I received the prayer from Dr. Jaerock Lee and gave some offerings. He prayed for me saying, "Let him receive wisdom and understanding. Let his skill improve." At his prayer my heart was full of hope and I rejoiced. Every morning when I start my day I receive Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for the start of the day. I try my best to apply the Word of God I've learned to my business and to serve clients with goodness and love. I often recite the Scriptures at our 12 staff member meetings. So, they say I am like a pastor. I am always on the alert to be humble before God. I always endeavor to serve clients from the heart rather than hypocritical etiquette. I urge my staff to do the same. We are providing clients with coffee and tea free by installing a vending machine in the shop. We prepare pretty paper cups to treat clients better, and do our best to provide them with the most beautiful styles. Since we are trying to serve them measuring their hearts, we can understand their desires just by their facial appearances. Thus, I have kept the Lord's Day holy, paid the whole tithe, prayed without ceasing, and practiced the Word of God I learned. As a result, we have even more clients than any other shop has. The number of regular clients has increased and the income is two or three times more than when I ran the shop downtown. We have just done our best for clients. As a result my shop is nicknamed 'the best hairdresser's shop with beautiful and kind staff and fragrant coffee.' I give all thanks and glory to God who has led me to joyful life of faith and blessed my business.

Fw: 286-We Were Not Injured at All in a Major Car Accident!

We Were Not Injured at All in a Major Car Accident!

Sister Dunia Masa (Brussels Manmin Church, Belgium) In July, 2010, I attended the 4th Europe 'Message of Cross' Camp held in Finland hosted by MMTC (Manmin Missionary Training Center) and was so touched there. Afterwards I had a chance of personally experiencing God's love and power. On July 30, after Friday all-night service, my parents drove a car to the church to pick me up as usual. On the way back home, we were waiting for the traffic signal at the intersection to change. All of a sudden, a car from the opposite direction drove up and ran into our car. The driver was so drunk. At that time I didn't fasten my seatbelt. My body was thrown sharply forward, and I thought I would die. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself and my parents were not hurt at all. When we got out of the car, it was found completely destroyed. The people who witnessed the accident said that they thought we had been severely injured or dead. Very thankfully, the driver of the other car was not seriously injured either. In the accident where our car was completely smashed, God protected us without leaving us any aftereffects. We give all thanks and glory to God.

Fw: 285-Artistic Dance Mission Team - Spreading the Hope for Heaven with Korean Traditional Dance

Artistic Dance Mission Team - Spreading the Hope for Heaven with Korean Traditional Dance

The Performing Arts Committee consists of 5 choirs, the Nissi Orchestra, 25 praise teams, and 16 soloists. The Committee serves the worship services, healing crusades, Christian meetings and events with praise, dance and various performances. They lift up praise and give glory to God through high class Christian performances. As recorded in Psalm 149:3, "Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre," the Artistic Dance Team which is a part of the Performing Arts Committee of Manmin Central Church, has glorified God with beautiful dance and performance accompanied by various musical instruments. They've been invited to many Christian events at home and overseas such as the Welfare Centers for the Elderly, jails, and military camps in Korea. They've appeared in many crusades held in the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, USA, and Russia where they gave glory to God with beautiful performances. The Artistic Dance Team consists of 27 female members. They serve one another and demonstrate their unity in the performances. Sometimes they make props and practice their performance from late night until early morning. They prepare with all their hearts to offer only the best performances to God. When heaven-like performance is presented through them, the audience is moved and misses the kingdom of Heaven shedding tears of emotion. Deaconess Myungsook Kim, Manager of the team, said, "Most of the members are college students and laywomen, but they are happy even in the night-time practice. It's because they hope to dance and show the beautiful performances in front of the throne of God in the Holy City of New Jerusalem. Some members are greatly moved in their heart and shed tears of emotion during the practice." They have various testimonies. Deaconess Eunyoung Lee's 2-year-old son Yejun was healed of burns to the palm by prayer, and Deaconess Youbin Park was healed of a small cyst on the right breast and uterine myoma. Last year, Sister Hyewon Park slipped and fell to the floor while climbing the stairs in a rehearsal for 27th church anniversary. She found that her index toe was bruised, turned black and blue and was severely swollen. She even couldn't walk properly. She had to limp, but she still joined in practicing performances after spraying Muan sweet water on her toe and praying by faith. The next day she was completely healed and could participate in the anniversary celebration performance. A sister who has entered a college and started majoring in dance passed the entrance examination easily by the grace of God, and some other members who are attending college earned good grade point averages and received scholarships. Through their dance performances and in the midst of beautiful songs the audience can experience the kingdom of Heaven. Through the performance of Artistic Dance Team, the believers of the church add to the hope for Heaven. At the Sunday evening service offered on September 5, 2010, the Artistic Dance Mission Team expressed the beauty of Heaven, our sweet memory of earthly life and gratitude for the love of God with beautiful fan dance to the music 'Beautiful Hope'. "My Hope Is to Exalt the Name of God with Beautiful Dance!" Deaconess Kyung-ae Seo (Teacher of Artistic Dance Team) In January of 1997, I attended a service at Manmin Central Church for the first time, and my heart became filled with emotions. From that day and for a few weeks, whenever I attended the services tears welled up in the midst of my emotions. I had sought goodness until then, so when I listened to Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages on goodness and love my heart was so touched. I was later commissioned to teach and help members of the Artistic Dance Team with the dancing performances. It was my major in college. I began fulfilling that duty only with the gratitude for the grace and guidance of God for the truth, and I always thought about how I could help them to improve their dancing skills, how we could show inspirational performances by the inspiration of God, and how we could become clean and beautiful vessels that are pleasing to the Lord. My 14-year-old daughter, Jiyang, suffered from severe atopic dermatitis from the age of 5 until she was 7 years old but she was completely healed by the prayer of Dr. Jaerock Lee. In 2009, when she received his prayer and her eyesight was restored from 0.3/0.4 (left/right) to 1.5 in her both eyes. That same year I was also blessed to guide the Artistic Dance Team in giving performances at the 2009 Israel United Crusade, 27th Church Anniversary Celebration, and the 2009 Christmas Celebration and New Year's Day Celebrations. Above all else, my delight is to see those I work with growing and coming forth as competent and skillful performers. This year I have been entrusted with more duties as secretary of Performing Arts Committee, guidance teacher of Heavenly Dance Team and the Beautiful Fragrance Dance Team. I also help other teams practice dancing. I give all thanks and glory to God who has guided me in His love and has given me the hope of having dance performances before the throne of God in the City of New Jerusalem!

Fw: 284-How Can I Repay the Grace of God and the Love of the Shepherd Who Welcomed the Prodigal Son

How Can I Repay the Grace of God and the Love of the Shepherd Who Welcomed the Prodigal Son

Brother Taekon Oh (2 Young Adults' Mission) Together with a good brother, Hyunkwan Moon, whom God sent to me as a good partner for the blessing of good sales results I was born into a very poor family as an unwanted boy, so during my childhood I went through many kinds of difficulties. While growing in a dysfunctional family, I sought destructive and violent things even prior to entering the elementary school. As soon as I entered the elementary school, I became notorious for my harassment against many others. Meanwhile, my mother, my sister and I were guided to Manmin Central Church. But because I didn't lead a proper life in faith, I began smoking in the 4th grade of the elementary school and often I left home. I stole money and was involved in unlawful and illegal behaviors. My parents divorced and I dropped out of middle school. At 19 I had no one and nothing to rely on, and I was exhausted so that I came to the church. I was so happy at everything in the church and prayed. But I had just a little fundamental knowledge of Christianity, and I had to feel pains because I was reminded of the things I had already repented. Whenever I was reminded of so many sins I had committed, I thought my conscience had been seared as with a branding iron and doubted whether there might be a chance for my salvation in my case. Finally I fell into deep pains in the midst of Satan's accusations. I didn't realize the love of God who in His Word promises that when we repent of and turn back from the sins we have committed He forgives us as written saying, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us¡¦" and "¡¦their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more". I lost strength and fell into anxiety and fear. Sometimes in the middle of taking a shower, I was possessed with fear and fainted and fell. I tried to have relationships with girlfriends to soothe my discomforted heart. I left the church and entered military service and almost lost my life a couple of times. After the completion of the military service, I entered into running an accessory shop but completely failed in that business. All that remained with me was a great amount of debt. After that I rented a one-room house near the church and worked at a local PC Room as a part-time worker. And I began searching for a job. From the October of 2009, I could sometimes attend church and listened to the messages on Hell by Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. At first I couldn't listen to the messages because of fear but instead slept during the service. But as time passed I came to think about many things. 'What could I become if I'd lead this kind of wretched life?' At first I didn't pay attention to Sunday morning service, but later I came to attend Sunday evening service and the group fellowship meeting. On November 2, 2009, a desire came over me to go to the church. The moment I was seated at a pew in the sanctuary to attend Daniel Prayer Meeting a lot of tears welled up in me and I felt inclined to hide myself in great shame. The time for me to go to my part-time job was drawing nearer but I just stayed there. The next night and the next night I attended Daniel Prayer Meeting, and simply said to God in prayer, "I am sorry! I've come before You! Forgive me" and wept so much and then returned home. A few days later I earnestly clung to God in prayer, saying, "Help me! God! I've done wrong. I'm wickeder than Judas Iscariot. Forgive me! I don't want to go to Hell. Save me! God! Please give me one more chance! I'll never disappoint You again!" God gave me the grace and helped me repent of my sins with tears and sincere heart. And I could immediately cut off the worldly things including drinking, smoking and girls and all the things that I had loved so long. I looked back at my past days with a resolute heart and thoroughly repented of my wrongdoings, and then sent a repentance letter to Senior Pastor asking him to intercede for me. Later I received the prayer from him with sincere heart and an offering. God's mercy and grace came upon me. I reinstalled my computer with a firewall to prevent any kind of pornographic materials available on the Internet from breaking in. Then, such a desire to watch those obscene materials disappeared completely, and since then I've never seen such things again. After the problem of my sins was resolved, my heart was so joyous and happy. I really wanted to repay for the many sins I had committed. So, I sought and did whatever good things I was able to do and rendered as many services for the church as I was able. I did so only with the wish to store goodness in the sight of God. In December of last year, I was chosen as the secretary of my 10-member group in the 2nd Young Adults' Mission. Young Adults' Mission offered the 2010 devotional service in last May. Because it was the first time for me to understand the significance of the devotional service and dedicating myself to the Lord, it imparted a special meaning to me. I offered God 3-day fasting prayer 3 times, and thoroughly examined my past life and encouraged my faith myself. I prepared for a special offering for the devotional service with all my heart and strength, and participated in the dancing team at the devotional service. I was working at a bank as a lobby manager and my monthly salary was 1,200,000 Won (approximately 1,000 USD). My credit card debt was so big because I had lived such a loose life in intemperance, but I was giving two-tenths of my income repenting of not having paid the whole tithe. In June, I entered the Seoul Joong-Ang Insurance Company and started a job as an insurance planner. Two months later something surprising occurred to me. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, in the middle of his sermon series 'The Lecture on the Book of Genesis,' gave a 4-session lecture 'The Seed of Life' and told church members to listen to the audio tapes of the 4-session series sermon more than 10 times. When I obeyed and repeatedly listened to the sermons 10 times, I won the 3rd place at the sales result of our company at that month. And I could make many contracts with clients introducing various insurance products—at the cost of 300,000 won, 500,000 won, and 1,000,000 won. I read at least one chapter of the Bible and memorize one verse every day and listen to and reviewed the 3 weekly sermons once again. This past August I was one of the two co-winners of the first place. Because I won the first place in August when many people took vacations, I confessed it was made possible only by the grace of God and the unfailing love of the shepherd for the prodigal son. I give all thanks and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ and God who held me in His arms and guided me, who had no delight and no light of hope in the journey of life.
