Respose to God's Calling
February 22, 2015
Last week, I shared hope in us! Today, I would like to share how our hope can change our culture. First, we have to change the way of our thinking first. Before we do anything, we have to think, think further for others, especially for our children’s generation. As Easter is coming closer, we together remember the life of Jesus and His suffering for us. Entanglement of Liberal theology and the modern science, especially evolution theory brought tremendous tragedy during WWII, yet we have already forgotten the history of horror during the war.

Psalm 23
We live in a broken world with full of challenges, failures, and disappointments. As life continues, many unknowns lie before us that can weigh us down, inflicting wounds that often get buried or ignored. We have been created to thrive in our relationships with God, our family, our neighbors and ourselves. By knowing that God is our Good Shepherd, understanding the identity that we have as his precious sheep, we can find rest and healing in our souls. Through this humble book, Healing Through Psalm 23, may God comfort you who are suffering, who are in pain, who need forgiveness; may you know God, walk confidently and grow into the maturity of coming alongside others in their journey of healing.

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” (John 4) You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. (John 15:16)

In our backyard, Steven planted a skinny fig tree. The tree struggled for years bearing fruits. This tiny tree was holding more leaves than it could handle. Even if the tree trunk was skinny and looked fragile, it had so many braches and leaves that looked unbalanced; it worried me whether it could handle the weight of leaves from the harsh winds in Arizona. When it was not bearing any fruit, yet had so much leaves, it reminded me the scripture, Matthew 21:18-20. Three years ago, this tiny fig tree bore some fruits. I chose one fig and cut in a half and saw beautiful heart shape in the middle of the fig. When I had a first bite, the fig was so sweet and delicious that tasted like heaven; even though I had never tasted heaven, yet the taste seems to familiar to me. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. (John 15:16)

Not one of these people, even though their lives of faith were exemplary, got their hands on what was promised. God had a better plan for us: that their faith and our faith would come together to make one completed whole, their lives of faith not complete apart from ours.(Hebrews 11:39-40) Israel was chosen to bring forth the truth. America is chosen to deliver the truth; the moment when we think our job is done or delegate to other counties, it is a mistake; it is a backslide; our calling is not ended, it could a start of something new. God is calling you, whoever is listening to our program, I encourage you to be ready for God to use you.

Today, we would like to talk about healing through “love”. The famous scripture about love is in I Corinthians 13:4-8. The Corinthian church had some issues of sexual immorality. Paul had to redefine “love” for the church in Corinth. According to Baker encyclopedia of the Bible Love is, for Paul, “the law of Christ,” supreme and sufficient (Gal 5:14; 6:2), and Paul neatly defines what alone “avails” in Christianity as “faith working through love” (Gal 5:6). He insists that the supreme manifestation of the Spirit which Christians should covet is “the more excellent way” of love (1 Cor 12:27–13:13; cf. Rom 5:5; Gal 5:22). Here too he contrasts love with five other expressions of religious zeal much prized at Corinth to show that each is profitless without love (1 Cor 13:1–3). He ends the chapter by comparing love with faith and hope, the other enduring elements of religious experience, and declares love to be the greatest.

Today, I would like to talk about healing. It is a very popular subject for every generation. Even with the medical advancement, people still suffer from diseases and illness. There are many part of healing, emotional healing, spiritual healing, mental healing and physical healing. Every part of our being interacts each other and affects each other. The most important healing is our spiritual healing. When every part of us is falling apart,when we experience the love of God, we can endure the pain in our lives; healing can be shown in a different way. Especialy, healing and restoration of our family from the sinful culture will not come easily. However, when we endure, we can see the fruition of healing through the enduring love of Christ. May God strengthen you today!

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Merry Christmas!God came down to connect with us, Immanel".
The word, “Immanuel” is used two times in the Old Testament. One is in Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 8:8. This word contains two Hebrew words, “em and el”. “em” is proposition “with” or can mean “together”. The root word, “em” was used as a meaning of “torture or eclipse” as well, something to think about.
We pray this Christmas is a season of reconnecting with God!
The more we study the Bible, the more convincing God was with us 2000 years ago and is with us today in His spirit. Jesus was born for us.
