In the Presence of God and What Drives Your Life?

Image
Coram Deo (in the presence of God or in front of God's face) is a term that describes the attitude of a Christian living in front of God's presence. Even if I can deceive everyone in the world, it means that Christians must be honest in revealing the whole of my life and the whole being before the eyes of God who knows everything. Therefore, Christians will always have to live in the spirit of Coram Deo.

When I was in middle school, my facial expression didn't look comfortable. After my parents passed away, my face looked poor, and no matter how hard I tried, the expression on my face was not happy. In my middle school years, I didn't have such a happy face. After my parents died, my facial expressions seemed poor, so no matter how hard I tried, my face didn't look so happy.   At that time, I was constantly looking for peace of mind. I had a strong desire for peace of mind. In the second year of middle school, the homeroom teacher was a female teacher, guided students well, and was very determined in admonishing their wrong behaviors. Still, the teacher always seemed to be at peace. When I was in the second year of junior high school, I was able to take the first place in all classes for the first time. Also, my inner side could be a little more peaceful and firm. At that time, I was worried about whether I could go to high school, and I also had to worry about whether I sh...

The Faithfulness of Narrative: "As One Says" and "How Love Is?"

1. An audiobook made with the author's voice The only significant increase in sales in the worldwide publishing market is the audiobook sales market. The United States is a country with a very developed audiobook industry. Recently, Amazon created ACX.com, a platform for creating audiobooks that work with Kindle Directbooks, and started offering audiobooks to Amazon and iTunes a few years ago. As a result of this, the audiobook market has grown by more than 10 percent annually worldwide. One of the characteristics of recent audiobooks is that the number of audiobooks that authors directly participate as narrators of their books is increasing. Although professional voice actors clearly speak and pronounce better than authors, the true emotions that come out when authors read their books are unique emotions conveyed only by the author's own voice.

1. You are What you love. James Smith, a professor of philosophy at Calvin University in the United States, describes the identity of a person in his book, You are What You Love , in terms of what the person loves and worships. In order to appreciate the spiritual significance of such cultural practices, let’s call these sorts of formative, love-shaping rituals “liturgies.” It’s a bit of an old, churchy word, but I want to both revive and expand it because it crystallizes a final aspect of this model of the human person: to say “you are what you love” is synonymous with saying “you are what you worship.” The great Reformer Martin Luther once said, “Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your god.” We become what we worship because what we worship is what we love. As we’ve seen, it’s not a question of whether you worship but what you worship—which is why John Calvin refers to the human heart as an “idol factory.” We can’t worship because we can’t love something as...
