성령의 거듭남, 즉 ‘신선함‘은 우리의 의지가 아닌 ...

성령의 거듭남, 즉 ‘신선함‘은 우리의 의지가 아닌 성령님의 전적인 역사입니다. 이 새로움의 유지는 순종으로부터 시작됩니다. 거듭남으로 빛 가운데 서게 되었다면 순종으로 계속 빛에 머물게 되는 것입니다.
- P32

성령으로 거듭난 자의 지속적인 순종이 늘 ‘새로움‘을 유지하는 비결입니다. - P32

성령님은 우리에게 새로운 비전을 주시고, 모든 일에 완벽한 생기를 유지시켜 주시며, 우리를 인도하셔서 하나님과 연결되는 완벽한 통로를 가지게 하십니다. 그러니 성도는 성령님을 소중히 여겨야 합니다. 성도가 영혼을 늘 새롭게 하는 일은 우리 안에 부어주신 하나님의 생명을 소중히 여기는 것입니다.
- P32

성령으로 거듭난다는 것은 하나님과 우리 사이에 통로가 열려 있다는 의미입니다. - P32

하나님이 비전을 주시고 어둠의 시간을 지나게 하실 ...

 하나님이 비전을 주시고 어둠의 시간을 지나게 하실 때는 훈련의 시간입니다. 하나님의 침묵은 우리에게 최고의 훈련이 됩니다. 어둠의 시간 동안 타인의충고를 듣거나 세상 지식을 의지하는 일은 하나님을 전적으로 의지하는 데 방해가 될 뿐입니다. 이때 성도의 의무는 가만히 듣는 것입니다. - P31

기다림의 시간을 통해 우리는 ‘성화‘의 시간을 갖게 되며, 하나님이 어떤 분이신지 알게 됩니다. 하나님의 침묵은 우리의 연단을 위한 필수적인 코스입니다. - P31

May we care fopeople holistically, allowing God to work through us in addressing thphysical needs of others as well as encouraging them to seek the only on-who can satisfy their spiritual hunger. - P107

10Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).

11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. - P100

그러나 하나님은 이러한 우리의 노력보다도 ‘순종‘을 ...

그러나 하나님은 이러한 우리의 노력보다도 ‘순종‘을 원하시는 분입니다. 하나님을 위해 무엇을 하는 것보다, 하나님이 우리의 목표가 되는 것을 원하십니다. 하나님은 당신을 섬기는 우리의 귀한 마음을 기뻐하시지만, 우리가 아니어도 하나님은 얼마든지 일하실 수 있는 분임을 잊지 말아야 합니다. 우리 인생에서 가장가치 있는 일은 하나님이 쓰시는 인생이 되는 것입니다.  - P30

하나님의 부르심의 한 가지 목표는 하나님의만족입니다. 주를 위해 뭔가를 하라고 부르신 것이 아닙니다. 우리는 하나님을위해 싸우라고 보냄을 받은 자가 아니라 단지 하나님이 친히 싸우시는 전쟁에서도구가 되라고 부름을 받은 자입니다." 진정한 헌신은 주님을 위해 우리가 하는
‘무엇‘이 아니라, 주님이 하시는 일에 도구로 쓰임 받는 것에 대한 만족입니다.
단지 도구로 쓰임 받는 일에 대한 감사가 있다면 교만도 실족도 없을 것입니다. - P30
