You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, - P94

ultimately all Scripture points to the one John’s Gospel calls The Word of God. In Jesus, Scripture lives and breathes, walks and talks. It is meant to do the same in us. More than verses to memorize or doctrines to learn, our time spent in the Scriptures lights our way to Jesus. - P96

Perhaps we should all seek to answer the question:am I just reading the Scriptures, or am I allowing the Scriptures to read me? - P96

[오늘의 한문장] [큰글자] 메시지 예언서

그들은 입만 열면 ‘하나님께서 말씀하시기를‘ 하고 되뇌이지만, 나 하나님은 그들에게 눈길 한번 준 적이 없다. 그런데도 그들은 자신들의 말이 이루어지기를 기다린다. - P504

[오늘의 한문장] 하나님의 시선

엄밀히 말한다면, 봉사는 부르심이 아니라 하나님의 속성과 나의 속성이 일치된 모습이 현실 속에서 드러나는 것입니다.
하나님을 섬긴다는 것은 주님의 부르심을 듣고 마음을 다해 사랑의 표현을 하는 것입니다. 봉사는 내 속성에 맞는 것이 표현된 것인 반면 하나님의 부르심은그분의 속성이 표현된 것입니다." - P29

‘일상적인 삶의 사명‘은 우리를 부르신 사명과 삶에서 섬기는 봉사가 자연스럽게일치되는 상태입니다.  - P29

30By myself I can do nothing;...

30By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. - P90

Jesus’ goal is not acceptance from the religious leaders but the salvation of those who receive His word.  - P92

 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If youremain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;apart from me youcan do nothing."
Remaining in God means making time and space to strengthen our relationship with the Lord.  - P93

Through spiritual disciplines such as prayer, wor-ship, fasting, and Bible study, we are able to gain a better understanding ofGod‘s character. As our understanding of who God is deepens, our trust inHimdoes our faith in His promises. - P93

Lord, may Your Word truly be life-changing for me. May I hide it in my heart, in thevery depths of my soul and spirit. I yearn for more than information. I long for thetransforming power of Your Word in my life. In Your name, amen. - P93

[오늘의 한문장] 하나님의 시선

부르심은 철저하게 부르시는 분과 나 자신의 관계입니다.
한 줄노트 하나님을 잘 알면 알수록 우리 속에서 부르심이 명확해집니다.
- P28

하나님의 부르심의 영역 속에 들어가려면, 우리에게 근본적인 깊은 변화가 있어야 합니다." 부르심을 듣지 못하는 이유는 우리 내면 깊은 곳에서 변화가 일어나지 않기 때문입니다. 순종 없는 따름은 존재하지 않습니다. 힘들더라도 계속 순종하며 따라간다면 하나님이 이끄시는 곳에 있게 될 것입니다. 이것이 우리가 추구해야 하는 ‘순종의 길‘입니다. 끊임없이 항복하는 훈련은 우리의 의지가 아닌하나님의 성품을 따르기 위한 훈련입니다. - P28
