John’s Gospel, full of dualistic images, does not support Gnostic dualism. It seeks the embodiment of God’s love for the world.

Part 1 is about my theological journey reflection. Part 2 discusses justice, Jesus, and Paul.

Many Christians operate under the assumption that the gospel originates solely with Jesus, often speaking of "the gospel of Jesus" as if it began in the New Testament. However, Scripture reveals a deeper continuity. Jesus himself proclaimed "the gospel of God" (Mark 1:14), a sentiment echoed by Paul, who defined his apostleship as being set apart for this same "gospel of God" (Romans 1:1). Paul explains that this good news was promised beforehand through the prophets, tracing its roots back to God’s call of Abraham in Genesis 12.

This video (soon to be uploaded) offers my observations on the evolving landscape of Christianity in South Korea, a phenomenon deeply entwined with the nation's politics and social movements. I witnessed autocracy firsthand and protested as a college student in the 1970s. Decades have passed since then. Korea has since regained democracy amid significant challenges and, in the interim, transformed into an advanced economy, bringing K-pop and K-drama to the global stage. Much has transpired, rendering it, in many ways, a different country. While there's much to explore regarding these changes, this video's focus lies elsewhere. Instead, I will give you a brief response to a podcast episode I listened to recently.

Three important things to know about Paul

A sustainable transformation must involve both human and social transformation. We should not focus on either one or the other. Both are fundamental to our daily lives and maintaining our overall health. Any discussion of transformation must begin with questions about human transformation. I initially recorded my talk on my phone. Then, I combined the audio file with photos and made a video file through an app.

"변화를 향한 렌즈점검과 적용"이라는 부제로 한국 전주중앙교회에서 행한 강연. 성서와설교연구소 주관으로 열렸다. 우진성 목사/박사의 도움과 주관에 감사. 서울의 잠실 한신교회에서도 같은 내용의 강연을 하였다. 영상을 편집해 주시고 녹음해주신 장로님께도 감사.
