Few days ago I watched commercial advertisement on TV. The commercial about “personal management skill program” shows why that program is so unique and powerful. It was not just commercial. After the commercial, the founder of the personal management program appeared and shared more brief information about the program. Anthony Robinson, the founder of the program, promised with the audience that everyone who follows his program will experience the new life. After that, few people appeared and shared their testimony. They lost their weight about 20 pounds per week. Another person shared his miracle. He became milliner. The other person shared that he became the powerful lawyer in the country when he followed Mr. Robinson’s insturution. Anthony Robinson also showed pictures that he posed with former presidents and their “Thank you letter.”

I thought while I was watching that commercial. I asked to myself, “Is it real?” In seven days or less than a month, does Anothony Robinson’s tape change personal life and make them rich?

I prepare for sermon every Saturday. I put most effort to listen to what God want me to say. In my belief, God is the only person who gives us the perfect life and happiness. Everyone wants to be rich and enjoy life. No one wants to experience the hardships.

Even Anthony Robinson, human being, can change people’s life. Why Can I change our youth group members’ life? I have no scientific or socioeconomical program like Mr. Robinson. But I believe the best material to change personal life is “Bible and Prayer.” I also believe that the best instructor who can change our life is GOD, JUSUS CHIRST, and Holy Spirit.
If Anthony Robinson can do it…. God can do it better than Mr. Robinson.

I started to read Bible to find out the person who will share the testimony that God’s program changes his or her life. Finally, I found the person in Matthew 4:18-20. The person who will share the testimony about God’s awsomness. The person I found was “Peter.”

Peter met God in person. When Peter net God, his life was tatally changed. Let’s read Matthew 4:18-20. “As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he was two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.” It shows that Peter was fisher man. In Israel culture, Fisher was the poor job. Let’s read v19-20. “Come, Followme,” Jesus sadi, “and I willl make you fishers of Men. At once they left their nets and followed him.”

Let’s say. Peter probably had some problem. I don’t know what it was. He probably experienced some personal struggle related with finance or relationship. When Jesus apperered to Peter, Jesus asked him, “Follow me.” “Follow me” Peter probably heard about Him, but never saw Him before. How could Peter follow Jesus even though Peter didn’t know much about Jesus. Peter left his nets and boat. Nets and boat were everything for Peter. He cannot sustain his life without boats and nets. But Peter left them behind and followed God.


What happened after Petr followed Jesus? Peter became His disciples. In US the good job people think of may be engineers, lawyers, physicians, and CEO. In Isreal, the best job people want to get is “Robbi” They want to become a religious leader like priests. Peter. The person who leanred almost none becomes the disciples of Jesus Chrsit.

In Act 2:1-8, it shows that Peter speak other language. Let’s read v7, “Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then hos is it that each of us hears them in his own native language…..we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues.”

The Peter who met God in person was changed from ignorant to knowledgble person. The Peter who followed God became the religious leader as Jesus Chrsit’s disciples.

Borther and sisters. There is difference between Anthony Robinson and Jesus Christ. Mr. Robinson can change people’s behavior and thoughts. This seems to be the new life. But Jesus Christ change your life. God changes your life and my life, not just behavior and thoughts. Life is bigger than appearance such as our behavior, efforts and thoughts, but smaller than God’s ability.


In this world, there are many religions and worship their own God. There must be the reason to worship them. Human beings are wise to chose the large TV set, car, and new games. They spent much time to buy a car. They are shopping around to buy the care in the lowest price. We put our life energy to buy a car. I don’t mean that it is bad. It is wise.

We also need to be wise to chose God. We also need to be wise to follow the right God. The bible is proven by anthropologists, scientist, histrorains, and therologians. Of course, they are still working on myeterious parts of Israel history. I can promise. The time you spend with me to listen to God’s words. And learn about comparision Jesus Chrsit with Anthony Robinson will not be “wasting time” because we don’t learn the truth, but absolute truth.


Let us Pray. Father. Peter was changed when he met you. We don’t need to spend $290 Anthony Robinson’s personal management program because we believe you will also change us just simply when we meet you in person. Lord. I am not sure. Whether I should bleielve in you or not. But I want to try to believe in you. Is it true? You can change my whole life? You can make me milliner? You can lead me to the heaven? Is it true? I can do whatever I want if I carry our in good purpose. Lord. If it is true, please come into my life and change it. I will wait for you. Thank you Lord.
