Family Church is My Heavenly Home
Winning Combination: S.O.W. & Hondok Home Church
Rev. Seo and Family Visit North Dakota
May 29:
Rev. Seo, family and his support team visited North Dakota to convey his developing internal guides for "one-on-one" teaching and family and tribal size churches he calls "Hondok Home Church."
Thank for the special effort made by the Trenbeath and Immel family in traveling the distance to Fargo. And of course, even more so to Rev. Seo. (He traveled the farthest.) Rev. Seo will be sending out power point presentations in the future detailing his ideas.
Rev. Seo is emerging as an internal leader even to the top leadership. His insights come directly from his study and meditation of Father's words. He also speaks with direct experience in restoring his family in Korea and personal success in the Minnesota region in recently bringing 43 new members through the attitudes and methods he teaches. We have been struggling as a movement to bring the success that each of us know in our hearts we should be achieving. It is usually the "ignoring" of basic, simple truths that block our effective action.
I will now give only my reflection of these two topics. I believe both concepts which were presented in (2) one hour sessions are the essential components for the fulfillment of our religious ideals in our lifetime. There are no more important topics than the ones we discussed.
S.O.W. (Strategic One-on-one teaching)
We join our movement for two reasons:
(1) The spiritual joy of "Object Partnership" and(2) The unsurpassed truth of "Divine Principle."
Divine Principle is not a past providential stepping stone that our movement has passed over. It is an essential truth for overcoming fallen nature, for the emergence and development of our original minds and serves as a platform for understanding universal truth. It is essential for our understanding of the "structure of love." Through the intense investment of one-on-one teaching, the love / truth dynamic is ignited for both the teacher and the taught, and we bring rebirth and blessing. We reawaken our partnership of love with God, with our spouse (my wife looks better to me now)!, with our children, between families and friends and with our natural environment.
Humans are design to be borne in love, one at a time. All prophets were enlighten one-on-one with God. Father at 16 years of age received one-on-one attention from Jesus. Father taught early disciples one-on-one. And each of us had the experience of being the center of the Universe through a one-on-one object partnership experience with God.
Hondok Home Church as the essential component in the realization of God's Kingdom.
After birth, humans are design to grow and expand in love eternally. HDK Home Church is the means to create the environment to fulfill that design. It is a comfortable place where love can abide. Families and extended church families can gather there and feel accepted and loved. It is comfortable for all because God is living there. Children want to come home where they feel loved, protected and nourished. There is a refrigerator there and a place eat together. But more important is the "spiritual frig and kitchen" were we can nourish our souls. Faith, Love and Obedience are staples that all share to create our internal heavenly home with in our external house.
It is a place to make holy children and holy families. It is a place that passes holiness from generation to generation, a place of "real eternal life." It is the location of the True Garden of Eden. (My son was asked when he was 3 where God was living and he said, "in my closet"). The spirit world dances and sings in our homes atmosphere, as we dance and sing with our extended family church.
Up to now, churches grow large and stop growing because leaders proudly hold tight to their position and authority. The membership, in handing this overbearing authority to their leaders, gain a "safe haven" from responsibility in an invisible tradeoff. It is an illusion created by our fallen natures. Both leaders and members deep inside are frustrated and complain about the other. In the end we are individually totally responsible for our spiritual lives. Any thing less result in something less that the Kingdom of Heaven. Our unfolding lives reveal the truth. 80% of youth leave the religion under which they were raised when they go to college. We must not be faceless families in large church institution.
Through HDH Home Church, Blessed Couples are empower with the full authority that God intended for Adam and Eve. God can directly work through them to create that heavenly environment. They have a high degree of freedom but also a corresponding high degree of responsibility. Our homes become gathering places for 3 to 6 families, where they can gather, study, live and love together.
It is the environment to inspire "Object Partnership" between spouses, families, extend families, close friends and the environment of beauty. There we assemble and employ all the tools necessary to bring complete success, spiritually and physically for our lives. We are borne and re-borne, unfold and flower and become the channel for blessing in the atmosphere of our HDH Home Church.
Mother Churches, in regions and state have an essential role, in connecting all "Object Partnerships" of love. I like the term "mother church" that Rev. Seo used be cause it clarifies the nurturing "Holy Spirit" responsibly of raising and offering HDH Home Churches to God, and his will, not holding them as her own possessions. The Mother Church should not be an overly dominating force concern with her own political and financial success.
Mother Churches connect us personally as tribes to the larger whole, drawing the HDH Home churches out of their everyday concerns to consider and contribute to the world providence. They connect us to True Parents and providential activities. It is an essential "Object Partnership" that each of us must develop fully in True Love.
Everyday living and loving is done in our homes with our HDH families, but alance with the Mother Church is essential for our fulfillment as True People.
In conclusion:
SOW education and HDK Home Church are a winning combination. Marry soul-filled education, with an environment where we are personally empowered with a complete sense of ownership and responsibility. Connect that HDH Home to the State/Country / World / Cosmos thru the universal familyhood of our Mothering movement.
We look forward to Rev. Seo's detailed explanation in power point form in the near future. He has asked each of us to respond with questions and experiences. So please send your inspirations and comment. Send a copy to me and I will continue to add them to our journal. We will have a collection of ideas we can go back and review and expand.
Let us plant our gardens one by one, nurture them constantly, and delight in their growth!
Thanks again to Rev. & Mrs. Seo, Kyobong, Noriko and Cerge for your prays and action in support of our state.
