Hyung Jin Nim's Interesting Story

I heard an interesting story about a blessed couple. There was a brother and he got matched to a sister from the Jewish Heritage. So one day they decided that they had to go and see their parents-in-law. So the young man took his wife to see his parents-in-law. So the father now came to him and said "Young man, how shall you provide for my daughter? How shall you put a roof over her head as she is accustomed too?" And the young man said, "Well, God will provide." And the Father-in-law asked him, "Then how shall you buy her a diamond ring such that she deserves?" And the young man said, "Well, God will provide." At that point his father-in-law left him and went back to his living room, there was the mother. So she asked her husband, "So how did it go with the new son-in-law?" And the father-in-law said, "Well, he has no job, he has no money, but the good news is, he thinks I'm God." (Laughter from the audience)

Hyung Jin Nim's Interesting Story

I heard about a story of a young girl and she had an aged grandfather and the grandfather, he was now very old and he was in the 90's and was preparing to go to the next world. He was in a hospital, and he was everyday undertaking a new habit that she noticed and everyday she walked into the room, she visited him, she would open the door and there he would be, in front of a lamp, small lamp, reading his bible everyday. And she saw this habit every time she came and visited.

And once she said, "Grandpa, why is it that you're reading the bible everyday? You've never read it in your life. You've never really attended church so much, why all of a sudden you are reading the bible?" And the grandfather, you know, he stayed quiet at first and she continued to ask "Grandpa, Grandpa, tell me why you're reading the bible?"

And a little annoyed he said to her, "Well, it's a little like this, it's a little like cramming for your final exam the night before." (Laugh)

Another child, Joey, answered: "Jesus is in the bathroom." The Sunday School teacher asked little Joey: "How do you know that Jesus is in the bathroom?" Joey answered: "Well, every day, every morning, my Father bangs on the bathroom door and says: "Jesus Christ... Are you still in there?" [Laughter]

Sermon: God's Invaluable Peace / January 12, 2008

Hyung Jin Nim's Interesting Story

I heard a story about an Atheist. He was swimming and enjoying his time in the beach, in the ocean, swimming around. All of a sudden he saw a tremendous fin coming towards him with rapid speed. It suddenly stopped and right before him a huge great wide shark came out of the water, ready to swallow the atheist.

Now at that very moment the atheist said, "Oh my God, Save me!" and like a miracle the time stopped, the clouds parted, and right from heaven there was a booming voice that said, "You don't believe in me and want me to save you?" And the atheist said, "Could you witness to the shark instead of me? That maybe helps in this situation."(Laughter)

Hyung Jin Nim's Interesting Story

I heard a very interesting story. Its about a mother. She had two very cute little boys. Their names were Young Jin and Hyung Jin. And they were trouble makers. They made a lot of trouble when they were young. So one day she decided, "You know what? I need to discipline these boys." She knew (that) at the village on the other side there was a very scary man. And that man would discipline them, put them on the right track. So she decided to catch Hyung Jin but she ended catching Young Jin and she dragged him to the man's house.


To the man there she said, "Please educate this young boy, so he gets back on track." So the man took him in and he sat him on the chair and asked him with a very loud voice, "Where is God?" and Young Jin couldn't answer at that point. He asked again and he shouted, "Where is God?" Young Jin again couldn't answer. He was trembling with fear. Once again the very scary man shouted , "Where is God?" and Young Jin was very frightened. He ended up escaping and running back to his home. He jumped in a closet and was shivering with fear and Hyung Jin came over to him and knocked on the closet and said, "What happened? Hey. Hyong, what happened? Tell me what happened?" and Young Jin said to him, "It's terrible. We're in big trouble. God has been kidnapped and they think WE did it?" (Laugh)
