Introducing: SeYoung

This is the sister that asked me to have Bible Study with her.
(I secretly took a picture of her when she was super focused.)

We started "Forgiving Father" (아버지의 마음) today.

My first time doing this curriculum in Korean, but I can already sense the Holy Spirit guiding me.

From what I've heard from others, I thought she was a sister that knew God but fell away because she was hurt by the church.

After having several conversations with her, I came to realize that she does not know the gospel.

To her understanding, Christianity is just another religion and the God we believe in is just another god.

Jesus Christ? She has no idea who He is.

It really broke my heart that this sister was so-called "involved" at church for about 2 years, but in reality, there was no Truth in her. In her memory, church was just "fun" and a place of "belonging."

I think this is the reality in many churches.

It's so easy to assume that all the long-term church goers and/or the faithful servers are fully aware of the gospel.

Just like this sister, there must be others inside the church too - full of "passion" and faithful service - but in reality, does not know Jesus Christ.

Fun? Yes, there should be fun too, but not just for the sake of fun. 

Fun because we know we are saved and freed from the bondage of sin; fun because we are gathered to have fellowship with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ; fun in freely praising and worshiping God. 

Bottom line:

We must go  back to basics.
