Christian Theology Series– Introduction
Hello Everyone. I am happy to announce the new article series for everyone and ubfriends. But before I dive in I want to make several things very clear.
A genuine apology from a REAL missionary
Peter (Man-Suk) Chang, former chapter director of Columbus UBF chapter wrote the following apology to Jim Bouldin and several others. Chang not only took the first practical step towards repentance but he also practically went beyond that with guidance from the Holy Spirit.
The History of the German UBF reform movement [English Translation]
Cause, course and perspective of the reform movement in UBF Germany
M. Stephan Choe (Bochum), December 2000
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
We call our efforts a “reform”, indeed a “reformation” of the UBF, because we are not striving for a superficial improvement, but rather to return to the Bible and Jesus Christ correctly. That is why it has become necessary to bring the true causes of this movement into the light and to enter the right path to reform. We ask God, through His Holy Spirit, to direct and bless our further reform work on the right path and in the right direction.
I would mention two biblical words that should characterize our reform movement: truth and grace. Jesus is full of grace and truth. His truth and his grace may determine this work of reform.
Die Geschichte der deutschen UBF-Reformbewegung [Original German Language]
Ursache, Verlauf und Perspektive der Reformbewegung in UBF Deutschland
- Stephan Choe (Bochum), Dezember 2000
Und das Word ward Fleisch und wohnte unter uns, und wir sahen seine Herrlichkeit, eine Herrlichkeit als des eingeborenen Sohnes vom Vater, voller Gnade und Wahrheit.“ (Johannes 1,14)
Wir nennen unsere Bemühungen eine Reform“, ja eine Reformation“ der UBF, weil wir nicht nach einer oberflächlichen Verbesserung streben, sondern danach, uns zu der Bibel und Jesus Christus richtig zurückzukehren. Deswegen ist es notwendig geworden, dass wir die wahren Ursachen dieser Bewegung ins Licht zu bringen und in den richtigen Weg zur Reform einzuschlagen. Wir bitten Gott darum, dass er durch seinen Heiligen Geist unsere weitere Reformarbeit auf den richtigen Weg und in die richtige Richtung lenkt und segnet.
Ich würde zwei biblischen Worte nennen, die unsere Reformbewegung kennzeichnen sollten: Wahrheit und Gnade. Jesus ist voller Gnade und Wahrheit. Seine Wahrheit und seine Gnade mögen diese Reformarbeit bestimmen.
