The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord (武天) Bo Tien. The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affliliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven.

Men may wrong God but will God wrong men?

Learning Point No 418



The mission of a church must first start with the church. If it is to save souls, then the first souls to be saved are those in that church. 

Any man who professes to be in the mission must be role model of how his soul will be saved. If man is to love others the way God loves all, then he must hold to his awe of God, not just God as a being but God as the Word or Doctrine. The Word is God. 

The church or temple is the place for men to feel the greatness of God and men are mere beneficiaries of God's greatness. Instead, men  in a church or temple may end up being swayed by the greatness of some men who want to claim credit and who often like to also discredit. They want to make others beholden to them and to hold them in awe. 

 They put aside God and the lord saint of that temple or church so that they can stand in their place and be great, so as to get acclaim of sorts. They usurp the place of God and saints and the Word which is God.

Even if they try to be the embodiment of the Word, in no way are they great like God and the Word. So what will happen or become of the mission of that temple or church? 

People at a church may thus often be so naive and incapable at mission and only know how to find fault with one another. 

As what Jesus said, they see the dust in others' eyes but not the dust in their own. They are good only at crediting themselves for the work others do and discrediting others. 

Their errant ways will not help to save souls, be it their own or the significant others. 

Some men in a church or temple can be naive and incapable of mission. They need to stand aside for more worthy others to run the place. 

But, like it or not, the church or temple is indeed still the best place for them to learn and be better off. They may wrong God (and other men) but will God wrong men? God and saints will not wrong men but men have to learn and make good. 

 Men even in a temple or church may wrong God but God will not wrong men. God will put them right. 

 This can happen in any temple or church and even in a mission related temple of Lord Bo Tien. He says that insects may come to the flower for nectar and we should not blame the flower for insects coming to it. 

 The lord saint however reassured that the lord saint is like the vast ocean and no amount of mud flowing into it will sully the ocean.
