Without knowledge, we cannot properly cope with hardships and blessings.
A compendium of Christian doctrines, easily explained according to the structure of systematic theology.

The revised edition of the steady-seller "Christian Basics," beloved by 70,000 readers for 19 years.

Stand as a solid Christian on a solid foundation!
Establishing a foundation of knowledge for an unwavering faith life

This book explains the basic doctrines of Christianity in an easy-to-understand manner.
Even if you don't study theology professionally, studying systematic theology at least once is essential for a healthy and proper religious life.
Only then can we have a balanced life of faith and church life.
Otherwise, it would be like building a house without erecting the pillars and frame, making it difficult to have a strong and upright religious life.

We are revising and editing 『Christian Basics』, which has been loved by many readers who agree with its purpose and has been reprinted 85 times, and are now releasing a revised edition.

I hope that the newly revised and refurbished edition of "Christian Basics" will be a beloved book for modern churches and believers, and that it will be used to solidify the foundation of faith.

We must understand that the theory of evolution contains a clear satanic intention to destroy the Christian faith from its foundations.
Even among Christians, there are those who think of evolution as just a theory and do not take it very seriously, and that is a very dangerous idea.

You must know that your life is differentiated and your happiness and unhappiness, success and failure are determined by whether you base your life on creationism or evolutionism.
The question of creationism and evolution is an equally important one for us.
(Omitted) Everything that happens to us is also inevitable.
There is God's will and intention there.
God's will and intention are always right and good, whether we understand it or not, and whether we feel good about it or not.
This belief is very important because it serves as the foundation for the fact that we humans living on this earth are by no means meaningless beings.
---p.27,28 From 'Evolution and Chance, Creationism and Necessity'

It is easy to confess that the sun, the moon, the stars, and all things in the universe belong to God.
But it is difficult to confess that the money in my wallet belongs to God.
Even if we can acknowledge that the sun, the moon, the stars, and all things in the universe belong to God, how difficult would it be to acknowledge that the money in our wallets, which doesn't even contain the price of a single pyeong of land, belongs to God?
To put it bluntly, the owner of my wallet is the owner of my life.
If God is the owner of the wallet, then God is also the owner of my life, and if I am the owner of the wallet, then no matter how much I confess that God is the Lord, in the end, I am the owner of my life.
For God to be my Lord, the money in my wallet must become God's.
There are laws and standards established by God to ensure that we confess that ownership of material things belongs to Him.
That is the tithe system.
One tenth of all income is to be set aside as God's holy possession.
---p.50,51 From 'The owner of my wallet is the owner of my life'

It's not that I can't buy something because I don't have money.
I can't live because of sin.
If there were no sin in this world, we could live and enjoy heaven right now.
That is what the Bible teaches us.
Therefore, we must live with a deeper concern for sin than for money.
Because we can become well-off people not by solving the problem of money, but by solving the problem of sin.
---p.107 From 'Does having a lot of money mean living well?'

Ordinary people are insensitive to their own sins.
Instead, be sensitive to the sins of others.
People are usually lenient about their own sins.
But he is very thorough about other people's sins.
But the people whom God treasures are different in this very way.
They are sensitive to their own sins, but very insensitive to the sins of others.
And while they are very thorough about their own sins, they are very lenient about the sins of others.
God values ​​and uses such people.
---p.129 From 'The wind blowing through the leaves, the wind blowing through the leaves'

There is a Ramen Sejong branch with a story near the Children's Grand Park.
We plan to repay all 150 million won in two years and complete the store transfer ceremony in April 2019.
This could be called a huge success for our foundation.
Before opening the store, I asked the owner this question:

“If you make it, it’s yours, if you lose it, it’s yours.”
“Why do you think we do such ridiculous things, sir?”
I told the president, who had no idea why, the following:
“I’m a pastor, right? I’m a believer in Jesus, right? We who believe in Jesus believe in the Kingdom of God.
But this is how we live in the kingdom of God.”
Of course, there were many difficulties.
There are factories, cafes, and ramen shops that have failed and closed down.
But we didn't give up and held on to the end, and as I mentioned earlier, miraculous things beyond our expectations and predictions are happening.
But the important thing is that while business can fail or succeed, the mission of spreading the kingdom of God can succeed through both failure and success.

There are various missionary methods and tools.
I experimented with them and put them into practice while pastoring.
However, I think that there are not many missionary tools that are as good to use for the kingdom of God as business, although it is the most difficult and challenging.
