1. Why do people always looking for the reason of rationalization for their behavior? Because he needs to prove the correctness of the behavior's motive. 

2. Jesus said: A man's foes shall be that of his own household. This means not to see the family as the enemy, but to remind us that you as enemies of the people, is your family. 

3. The strain is consumption life in advance. 

4. Being selfish is closing the doors to being blessed and blocking the channel of trust. Those who have ulterior motives became disciples of Judah. Once group leaders have selfish motives, they will be defeated.

5. God is righteous. You who secretly alms, He shall reward openly. You with dark greed, He will let you double back in darkness or daylight. 

6. Repentance is to honor God and is also the way to remove one's own shame.

7. Repentance is not telling God: "I have done wrong, and now I have admitted the mistake and committed SINS so you seal the deal". Repentance is you really realize that it is sin and is against God and is injuring to people. And you have to make the behavior of repentance: going to admit injured people, you are wrong, also going to reveal the crimes you covered up. Like Zacchaeus: if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him four-fold. 

8. Firstly, repentance is a change in the direction, the second is method improvement. Repentance means that you completely deny yourself, to accept God's righteousness. 

9. Repentance is the only way to God and the bliss of God.

10. Repentance is not to give an account of conscience, nor conscience of bribery. Repentance is not self-righteous, but introspection; not self-redemption, but to deny himself.

11. The ministry is to serve, gift for serve. Ministry is not apower game or gifts for misbehavior. If a gift for self-entertainment, ministry for enriching themselves, these are against God. 

12. Standing before God's judgment stage, you won't sad for owing part, you'll regret for the gift of wasting time. You will wish you didn't. 

13. God said to Cain: If you do well, will you not be accepted? If you do not  do well, sin lies at the door. It desires to have you, but you must master it. There are evil temptations every day but what we need is to control him instead of being ruled. Controlling the desires, and sin is no way. Judah did not plan to betray Jesus in his first day of following the Lord. However, when he gradually interacted with lust and selfishness, he embarked on a road to betray Jesus. 

14. Humanity and temptation is only separated by a wall. If you don't refuse temptation, it will knock on the door at midnight. 

15. Lust and selfishness is the open door to sin and Satan.
