Our big house!

Yesterday, Jeremiah and I drove by the new apartment we are going to move into. He suddenly verbalized what I had been thinking for the past few weeks: "I miss our big house." We sold our house last year because we sensed God was leading us to Korea. Since May 2010, we have been renting. We live in a spacious apartment (1300 sq ft), but it's smaller compared to our big house. I sympathized with Jeremiah and told him that God knows our hearts and knows what He is doing. We just need to trust Him.

After we came home, we listened to a Francis Chan sermon. He talked about the lukewarm Christian, and the desire to have things of this world--big houses, nice cars, money etc. Jeremiah and I knew God was talking to us. So we repented. Today,in our Oswald Chambers devotional, the message was on Mt. 6:25. Do not worry about your life, what you will wear, where you will live. Jeremiah and I both knew it was for us. So we repented. Yes, God is indeed talking to us loud and clear about letting go of the things of this world and keeping our focus on Him. Why do the things of this world look so good? I had to repent again and be reminded that there is a mansion in heaven waiting for me.

A Better Servant

Sebene told Joanne the other day that she didn't think she was going to go to heaven. When Joanne asked her why, she said it's because she is not a very good servant. She really hasn't done very much for God. She said, "Even Jinkyu oppa is a better servant. At least he led his friend to Jesus." We had a good laugh.

We explained to her that you don't need to do anything to go to heaven, but just trust Jesus for new life and forgiveness of our sins. The enemy is doing such a job of convincing Christians that we do need to do something for our salvation, when it's just so simple--We just need to trust.
